Where does the Peanuts gang live?


Does anyone know for certain where the Peanuts gang lives?

I've always assumed it was upstate New York in a semi-rural, middle-middle-class neighborhood. One clue was an old Charlie Brown special where he attends a spelling bee in New York City. Charlie Brown takes a bus trip of several hours to the city. That meant the gang couldn't be living in the Midwest.

I always guessed that it was somewhere on the east coast. Maybe one of the New England states

Schultz grew up in Minnesota, lived in Southern California. Both are reflected in his strip. You see them going to the beach, Snoopy hikes to Needles, they have snowy winters...

Ohio is in the Midwest. It's an eight hour and fifty four minute trip to NYC from Lancaster, that's several hours. Salem, Ohio is two hours closer. Several hours is not a few hours, making trip from Ohio possible for the location of their neighborhood.

On top of that you're using hours to assume this must mean their coming from upstate NY. I live nearly four and I don't live anywhere in NY. Several hours could mean NY, NH, VT, Mass, Maine, Penn, Ohio, Delaware, VA, MD, or even WV

Hours isn't a good way to measure where someone may live due to fact that one route may be longer than another when talking the same starting and ending point. Hours is a measure of time, not distance. If the miles are given you can begin narrowing down where something is. Were it to be said that it was a hundred mile trip to NYC, then you would know the gang's neighborhood has to be within a hundred mile radius. About 415 miles to NYC, anywhere over 410 miles but no more than a 415 mile radius from NYC could fit.

Also keep in mind that there was less congestion on the highways and interstates when "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" originally came out, meaning that you could actually travel farther in an hour then than you can now. If you are less likely to run into heavy traffic that could slow down your travel time you can make better time because you can maintain a higher speed longer. The more often you are to run into heavy traffic, possibly even traffic jams, the longer it takes to reach your destination. My dad used to work at a place where it would take him about 45 minutes time to commute from home to work or from work to home. But in the fall and winter months when you'd have a lot of folks out viewing the foliage or heading to the ski resorts up north it would take him an hour and a half to two hours, usually on Fridays, even with the roads clear of snow and ice. So many people on the roads, congesting them, slows travel time down so something that should only take an hour could take two or more. Thus several hours must be asked whether that means several hours in uncongested or congested trafic.

We already have the proof, this question was already put to rest a while back....Pittsburgh PA. Every scene has been accounted for as being located in the tri state area in and around Allegheny County. Mr. Schultz has already gone on record about this at least one time over the last few years of his life.
