In the theme of most of Upstate of New York not being mid-Atlantic, I feel that Pennsylvania northwest of Blue Mountian is not truly mid-Atlantic either. That makes Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading, Lancaster, and Harrisburg mid-Atlantic, but Pittsburg, Erie, Scranton, Altoona, Williamsport, State College are not.
I tend to agree with Daytonnatian, WV is not mid-Atlantic, certainly not the major portion of it. Aries inadvertently left off southern WV from the list.
The western panhandle of WV actually has some commonalities with Pittsburgh.

You don't even know how to spell "Pittsburgh" and you're going to tell me what region it's in?
The Pacific Northwest is most definitely a different cultural region from Southern California, and probably should begin about the level of San Francisco, and extend east to the Rocky Mountains.
I'm surprised you say you live in that region ... grouping the entire West Coast together is such an East Coast thing to do. Brought to you by the people who named the Mid-West the Mid-West.

Someone needs to relax. Anyone can make typoes, you're acting like I just insulted your mother or something.
I would probably put Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania with eastern Ohio and the WV panhandle in the Appliacian Region, distinct from either the mid-Atlantic or Midwest.

well, like i said, when you compare socal and seattle to anywhere lese in the country (not just the east coast), you will see how similar they are. i live in the bay area, and although people say the bay area and socal are so different, that is pretty much bull****.
for example, north carolina and texas aren't by no means exactly the same place, but if i compared them to other parts of the country they are very similar. i didn't want to divide this map into a million pieces.
LOL Well, I appreciate you trying to be nice, but I totally disagree. Almost nothing about it is western (in the sense of having anything in common with the Rocky Mountain states). The trans-pecos area can be fairly called "Southwestern" (as with New Mexico and Arizona), but most of West Texas doesn't share the same qualities. And other than the upper-panhandle having some common characteristics, the Midwestern influence in Texas is virtually nil. lmost nil.
As a whole, Texas is essentially a Southern state. Texas is Texas to be sure; you are right there. But when placed in a region, it belongs with the South, both historically and culturally (And it doesn't get anymore Southern than many parts of East Texas). (Besides, any state which was in the Confederacy has paid its dues and earned its Southern star!).
You sound proud that Texas was in the Confederacy!

I disagree. The Pacific states of Washington\ Oregon\ California\ Alaska & Hawaii have much in common: the Pacific ocean\ stronger ties to Asia than Europe\ strong libertarian roots\ environmentalism\ a dislike of old traditional beliefs & petty issues common to the East & South U.S.\ a sense we can do it on our own & could easily leave the U.S. etc.
No way is western NY anything like the midwest. I'd put it in with the northeast. Then have a separate New England category.
What are you talking about? Buffalo has more in common with Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Milwaukee than it does with NYC, Boston, or Philadelphia. I can see how it could be considered Midwest, but a more accurate classification would be Rust Belt.

Buffalo is really not like any of those cities listed. I can see some similarities with the layout of midwestern cities but thats where it ends. I have spent an extensive amount of time in all of those cities but Milwaukee and Buffalo does not compare to them at all. I live i Rochester and its even more less like those cities listed.
