Agreed. My SO is a Buffalo, NY-bred Italian, and he and everyone in his family and hometown neighborhood sound pretty much exactly like Dennis Farina. I lived in Chicago, and if I hadn't known where he was from when I met him, I'd have pegged him for a Chicagoan based on accent alone. Those Great Lakes cities have barely distinguishable nuances.

We live south of the city of Chicago down hear Joliet. Our son went to school out in Virginia ... in Lexington, VA to be exact. The kids out there thought he had an accent .. a "Chicago" accent. I guess everyone has a regional sound to their voice and speaking. Makes it interesting, doesn't it?
Best of luck at school ...

There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

It never occurred to me that I have an accent until I lived in Pittsburgh and people there kept asking me where I was from.

I spent one winter in Florida and returned to Illinois. My mother said I had a suntan and a southern drawl.
