Sorry if I came off a tad brusk. Its just this gets discussed here ad nauseum and well, like I said it seems pretty obvious to me that its pointless. Some think that the writers are really giving actual clues to a real state. But that was just a joke too. The closest thing to a _real_ answer is as somebody said, they live in the fictional state of **North Tahoma**. The abbreviation **NT** usually appears on their drivers’ licenses. What is ther left to discuss? ---

After all this time it should be understood that the Simpsons live in a state of suspended animation. ::d&w:: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-where-do-the-simpsons-live/335283.md?page=2)
