I am serious, I've driven 95 from Philadelphia all the way to Jacksonville, and Baltimore and DC are the Northeast especially culturally. It isn't until south of Quantico,VA that you escape that NE sphere of influence

I mean as far as accents, clothing, lifestyle, etc.
Baltimore and Washington have WAY MORE in common with Philadelphia, New York and Boston, than they do with Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis or New Orleans

What does any of that have to do with your statement that "none of Maryland is the south"?????

If you wanted to say that DelMarVa is the south, then it is still cut off from the rest of the region by Greater Baltimore&Greater Washington, I like to view a region as completely connected

Accents? I didn't know that Baltimore and Washington spoke in the same accent as Boston or New York, two cities that don't have the same accent? What do you mean by this?
Clothing? Fashion in Maryland isn't even the same as fashion in Philly. Heck, when you get to counties in Western Maryland near DC people dress different than people in Baltimore.
Lifestyle? As in the slow pace of Baltimore? Even DC is fast paced compared to Bmore.

All of Maryland isn't part of Greater Baltimore or Greater Washington though. To say that the Eastern Shore isn't Southern is pretty off-base.

Ok such as...
You are all over the place here, it is hard to keep track of your ideas. Are you honestly trying to say that you think Baltimore and Washington are southern cities? Because I will never agree to that having been to them, and having been to the real south (places like Mississippi,Alabama,Louisiana). They are northeastern, get over it already.

I'm all over the place? You're the one who made these points and I merely asked you to back them up!
Nobody said they are Southern. But to say they are Northern/ Northeastern is inaccurate too. Why don't you provide examples instead of just post and run?

I don't know what "examples" you want, because it's a matter of perception. And to my PERCEPTION, DC to Greater NY along the 95 corridor is the same region.

I asked you what examples I want. The ones you originally said. Are you blind or have a terrible memory?
