Baltimore, DC, NOVA, and Richmond maybe.....
But if you talking about Southern Maryland(South of DC) and Maryland Eastern Shore, I can definitely detect that you have not ever step foot in Maryland outside of Baltimore and DC....... |

Been out to west Maryland too. But I admit, I have never been to MD south of DC.
But no part of Delaware is southern. You know your little Mason Dixon line? Yeah, it excludes Delaware. Look it up.  |

All I gotta say is take a trip to Dover(they have a nice casino), Delaware from the DC/Baltimore area, you will find that parts of Delaware resembles rural Virgina and rural North Carolina..... |
