I spoiler tagged just in case since it's only available on their socials and the final nebula episode.

For some reason, this place seems strikingly familiar to me, but I also live in the midwest, a lot of places off the interstate can look like this.

I've been trying to identify where this might be based off the small amount of video before the next shot, I've been able to identify a super 8 and a mcdonald's together, but everything else in the picture is a bit of a mystery. I tried to label places I could recognize – but I'm sure I'm missing and mixing things up, like that gas station(I can't tell if that's a casey's because of one sign I see, but the lit price display looks more like a pilot to me).

I did try using AI to solve this too, and quickly learned it actually was way worse at making attempts than me using Overpass Turbo to search for everywhere in the US with a Super 8 and a McDonald's nearby. I spent last night trying to narrow it down using a search where it only showed MCD and Sup8 off interstates, but of the spots it found none matched. I also noticed that Village Green sign seems rather unique, and while I found a place out in California, Missouri that has a nearly identical match to that sign, the super 8 around that area didn't match up on street view.

Has anybody already cracked this yet? I know there was some discussion on one of the posts either here or r/Nebula but I lost track of it.
