    Coalport is a very small town in northwest Pennsylvania. Nothing at all significant about that area in real life, just rural mountainous forestland, mostly. It would seem that something significant did happen there in the ZA. We keep getting hints that it was something bad. In this episode Kelly said if they hadn't left their post they'd have been killed, too, and seemed to feel a little guilt about that. The fact that it keeps coming up must mean that it either is or will become relevant to the story. Any ideas?

    Maybe that's the military base where they took Rick.

    Anything is possible but I find it hard to imagine Rick not being able to make it to back Virginia from Pennsylvania.

    Obviously, to me at least, seems to be a place where things went bad. My guess is an attempted community post-ZA that collapsed. Like a Woodbury, maybe.

    I'm also not clear if Magna's group went from Coalport to Philadelphia or the other way around. Philly is where Luke found the fiddle that Michonne destroyed. Where did that group start out?

    Hmmm I never thought that it could be a significant plot point in the future.

    I was under the impression that is was just being used as a means to clue us in that Magna's group has possibly had a similar type journey that Rick's group had (the farm, to the prison to Alexandria). That in the beginning all seemed fine with each place and then something happens to make it go tits up.

    If it had only been mentioned in passing I'd agree that it was to compare experiences. The fact that Coalport has been mentioned in each episode this group has been in, and an actual conversation about it in 9.11 leads me to think there may be more to it.

    Makes sense now that you have me thinking about it!

    They only mention the other community they were at in episode 906 when they are at the gates of Alexandria. It is only Coalport that they have mentioned several times

    Especially within a 6 year time period.
