I Spent Way Too Much Time Looking at Geography for This! Dillon Headcanon:

Okay, so I recently had the urge to pin down where Dillon lived. According to the BB wiki, the Belchers live 2 hours away from the hotel Tina and Linda stayed at for the heroine conference. Meanwhile, Dillon and Amy lived 4 hours away from the hotel. Since the hotel was based on the Courtyard by Marriot hotels, I looked into the Courtyard hotels that were about two hours away from Ocean City NJ (the spot where people generally agree Bob's Burgers would be if it were real). There were plenty to choose from, so I had trouble deciding which one to choose until I realized something Dillon said. She mentioned this in the episode, she said she accidentally said her name was Dallas when she was from Houston. Although, Texas is definitely not 4 hours away from NJ and I don't recall her having a Texan accent (it's been a while since I saw the episode though). TBF she could have moved at a young age and never developed the accent. That begs the question of why she even brought up that she's from Texas if she doesn't live in Texas anymore? So I decided to look into it and see if I could find any Houston places near NJ. I found one in Delaware and one in Pennslyvania. Better yet, I found out there's a Dallas in PA too. The time estimates aren't perfect but the Courtyard hotel in Aberdeen MD is a little over 2 hours away from Ocean City NJ while it's 4 hours and 32 minutes away from Houston PA. As I said, it's not perfect but it's pretty darn close to what little I had to go off of. Dillon being from Houston PA could also explain why despite looking extremely cool, she's actually very awkward. She's compensating for being from a borough with a population only slightly above 1k with the only notable thing about it is that Keanu Reaves did a movie there once in 1988. Am I looking too much into this? Absolutely! On the plus side, I can now say that Tina lives 6 to 7 hours away from Dillon in this headcanon. It's bittersweet knowledge for this headcanon but knowledge nonetheless.
