I live in Florida. I think Lakeland east of the Appalachians should become its own region. Boston, NY, Philly, and DC have little to do with the Twin Cities IMO

maybe "New Britain"? ie, New England + "New Scotland" (Nova Scotia), "New Ireland" (Newfoundland), etc?

I consider myself to live in a buffer region "between" (actually including cultural elements of both) the Midwest and South. To me similar places are other buffer states like Missouri, West Virginia, and Virginia.
Consider my ancestors. Nearly all fought for the Union, including one who was the son of Eastern Kentucky's largest slave owner!! (Lewis's of Harlan County). Yet most people in my family are otherwise culturally Southern (food and accent). Many of my grandparents, both parents, and most aunts and uncles spent their working lives in Midwestern cities like Cincinnati and Chicago. We call soda "pop", not "coke".
I'm from the Great Basin, and by the way, the Great Basin doesn't include Cheyenne or any of Wyoming. It also does not include anywhere west of Salt Lake.
I'd add an area called Acadia comprising Quebec and the bordering areas of the US and Canada that have a lot of French speakers.
