We do not know.

Unfortunately, one of the longest-running gags of television's longest-running shows is that we the viewer are left in the dark when it comes to where, specifically, the Simpsons reside.

That's not to say there haven't been clues. A flash of Homer's drivers license gives us some insight, but something doesn't quite add up:

Note that while the city listed of "Springfield" is legitimate, but which state abbreviation is NT? That doesn't make sense. What about the zip code, does that look familiar? It should because it's Kalamazoo, Michigan!

While Springfield, Michigan is only a short drive away from Kalamazoo we think there's another clue in this Simpsons puzzle: a giant can of Duff beer.

Located along Main Street in Emmett, Michigan this giant oversized can of Homer's favorite domestic beer brand sits in an empty lot along with a (likely unrelated) pack of oversized cigarettes.

Why?

Well, that's a good question but it's one we don't have the answer to!
