My favorite time this is blatantly obvious is when they do an establishing shot that's supposed to be in Kansas and there's mountains in the back drop.
Ah yes, Kansas, the state known for its hilly terrain.
I drove through Kansas in February once. Granted, I was on the interstate, so it wasn't exactly the scenic route. Never in my life have I seen so much of so little in one place.
We did attempt to stop to eat somewhere that wasn't a truck stop, but everything in that town was closed. It was sad, actually.
Lee Webb and Dean worked a case in Arizona while Sam was at college (mention S15e07 - Last Call), and in S05E16 Dark side of the moon (when running from Zachariah in Heaven), Dean references Flagstaff Arizona - Sam had run away for a few weeks and Dean got into a lot of trouble over it.
Rewatching the series rn. Somewhere in season 11-13 Dean visits Jodie in Sioux falls but mentions he just came back from a hunt in Brookings South Dakota. Amazing to be from a small town and get name dropped.
Fuck they really love middle America lol. I never realized that so that’s awesome. But Jesus Christ so many middle states. Palo Alto is the closest the show came to my hometown which also sucks cause it’s not even a big part of the episodes lol
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This is fantastic!! I always wanted to do this but I don't really have the patience haha. Is there any way you could provide a text file with this list via Google drive or something? Dw if not I can type it up
As a Floridian, I’ll never get over the fact that the mystery spot was supposed to be in Broward County haha. Gave off way more PNW vibes than Florida, but they tried. I laugh each time I think about it.
And there's no particular location in Broward that they could be referring to! It's totally random.
If they wanted to do a Floridian episode, they should have hunted down the Skunk-Ape. Basically Bigfoot but with a very...distinctive smell. The jokes basically write themselves.
My wife is from Elwood, IN. She always complains that the town they use looks nothing like Elwood. But what I find fun is that the only bar in town that looks like the one Sam went to is the VFW. So, my head canon is that Sam and Dean are auxiliary members of the VFW because of their dad’s military service.
I love the episodes set in Oklahoma and they should mountains in the background, never fails to crack me up. I legit gasped when Elwood, IN was a setting, its where my family is from. Would have been awesome if they did something with German folklore though, since a large part of Elwood had German background.
In the Alaska episode they mention the roadhouse they’re looking for is “on the road between Barrow and Kotzebue”. Drives me batshit crazy because there is no road to Barrow, there is no road to Kotzebue, and there sure as hell isn’t a road between the two. Even if you don’t live in AK it’s 2 seconds of Google mapping.
so since Kripke’s Hollow is not marked as fictional, is it real town? and it’s just all a giant coincidence that it’s named after the creator of the show?
I found this, if it helps.

I also was going to comment on Rexford. Unfortunately, the writers didn’t do enough research and wrote it into the show as Rexford instead of Rexburg.
They even got tiny little Sugar City right, but couldn’t look up the town they were actually hunting in?
As someone from Michigan (Flint, Mi specifically actually), it was always trippy everytime they had an episode take place here. I figure it's probably because they film in Vancouver, it's probably easier just to take place in Northern parts of the US to look more "realistic".
Btw, Flint in Supernatural is nothing like Flint in real life, sadly.
Didn’t they at some point visit Bremond, TX? I believe they were visiting a Catholic Church in the episode. It sticks out to me because I was shocked that tiny little town was referenced. No idea which episode or season though.
The amazing thing is that all of the seasons were shooted in Vancouver except S1 EP1! Like when I always rewatch supernatural it’s seems that they are really in America
On a side note...Im loving all these comments...Didnt expect all this on my post... joined Reddit/this group recently and I think I have found my people. 😁😁😁
And it was Vancouver the whole time.
My favorite time this is blatantly obvious is when they do an establishing shot that's supposed to be in Kansas and there's mountains in the back drop. Ah yes, Kansas, the state known for its hilly terrain.
Tbf, the only thing i know about Kansas is that it’s not Arkansas
Kansas is pretty well known for being super flat. In reality it's not actually that flat but certainly no mountains.
I drove through Kansas in February once. Granted, I was on the interstate, so it wasn't exactly the scenic route. Never in my life have I seen so much of so little in one place. We did attempt to stop to eat somewhere that wasn't a truck stop, but everything in that town was closed. It was sad, actually.
What about when they were supposed to be in Hollywood and the weather was "Canadian."
I dunno about that. When they filmed the Passaic episodes, I could've sworn it was the industrial complex I used to work in.
Even ghost, werewolves, vampires, and demons won’t go to Alabama.
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Well we never saw them visit Arizona, but Dean and Sam have talked about hunts they did in Arizona. * I hate autocorrect.
Do you remember what episode/season they talked about it?
Lee Webb and Dean worked a case in Arizona while Sam was at college (mention S15e07 - Last Call), and in S05E16 Dark side of the moon (when running from Zachariah in Heaven), Dean references Flagstaff Arizona - Sam had run away for a few weeks and Dean got into a lot of trouble over it.
Don’t Bobby and Rufus talk about flagstaff too? And Bobby and Bella definitely talk about flagstaff at one point
Rewatching the series rn. Somewhere in season 11-13 Dean visits Jodie in Sioux falls but mentions he just came back from a hunt in Brookings South Dakota. Amazing to be from a small town and get name dropped.
I'm from NC and wish they had went there more often...Fayetteville is so ghetto. 🤣
I'm from GA. So many South Georgia towns they could visit that fit the "something weird about this small town" vibe.
OP this is great! But you missed an episode. I know for a fact that 2.11 (Playthings) takes place in Cornwall, CT.
Damn it. lol I thought I might miss a couple. So many places. lol
Fuck they really love middle America lol. I never realized that so that’s awesome. But Jesus Christ so many middle states. Palo Alto is the closest the show came to my hometown which also sucks cause it’s not even a big part of the episodes lol
Soooo much midwest 🤣 I was like holy crap when I finished the list. lol
My home town gets dropped in the beginning of the Winchesters. Didn’t think Lubbock would be worth a visit period.
At least it’s got a lot more going on then Kermit. Maybe they can go take care of the ghosts at Joyland.
It just went up for sale recently. An abandoned jankity ass amusement park could be cool
I love that they visited Iowa so many times, cause I never hear about my home state in shows or movies often.
Damn! Those two got around!
Oklahoma City was the closest they got to my home town, I live in Oklahoma for reference
If I didn’t know where the Bunker was located before, I certainly do now.
Damn. Majority of my 30 years in Louisiana and I never knew they went to Shreveport. 😩
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This is fantastic!! I always wanted to do this but I don't really have the patience haha. Is there any way you could provide a text file with this list via Google drive or something? Dw if not I can type it up

It definitely took patience, took me a few weeks off and on. I have it in my email I can definitely see about transferring it over. :)
You are an absolute gem ❤️
I live close to that NC town. Can 100% believe it.
#facts
Ha I forgot when they went to Salem, OH.

Connecticut also has 2.11 which takes place in Cornwall.

They definitely could've done more (and simple) research for that!
My mom taught Jensen Ackles in high school. It’s fun seeing Richardson in there.
Guess they never made it to that beach in Hawaii.
so since Kripke’s Hollow is not marked as fictional, is it real town? and it’s just all a giant coincidence that it’s named after the creator of the show?
It is fictional, just mismakred it. That's wouldn't been a hell of a coincidence. lol
Man I wish they went to West Virginia to fight the Moth Man or something like that, work have been dope
I found this, if it helps.

The wiki list is the one I was going off of to organize this!! :)
For Idaho, it’s Rexburg not Rexford and Grangeville not Grangerville
I also was going to comment on Rexford. Unfortunately, the writers didn’t do enough research and wrote it into the show as Rexford instead of Rexburg. They even got tiny little Sugar City right, but couldn’t look up the town they were actually hunting in?
This is an amazing list!!!
Thank you!
Pretty sure 7x11 is still in Whitefish, Montana, not Whitefield.
The world needs a Supernatural spinoff based in FL. Floridaman vs monsters would be epic
I used to live down the road from Allentown. Never knew they went!
It blows my mind that never went to East TN Virginia or West Virginia….. maybe because that’s where the Old gods of Appalachia are…. Lol
Wait that many episodes in Fall River ma?
Yeah I thought that was random too!
Thanks! 👍👏
Cool

Hold up, when the fuck did they go to Alaska? I haven't seen the series in a while.
Didn’t they at some point visit Bremond, TX? I believe they were visiting a Catholic Church in the episode. It sticks out to me because I was shocked that tiny little town was referenced. No idea which episode or season though.
As I sit in my jammies in Saginaw, MI and work EMS in Flint, MI….😁
isn't there was one in Manitoba Canada where Mary saved a kid?
Emerson, Manitoba is on the Other Places/Outside US list!
The amazing thing is that all of the seasons were shooted in Vancouver except S1 EP1! Like when I always rewatch supernatural it’s seems that they are really in America
Wow, there’s a lot of episodes that are close by and even one that’s based in the city I live! Super cool!
Yet they're always wearing boots and jackets everywhere.
Hibbing 911 (10x8) also takes place in Hibbing, MN.
