Is Kentucky the south or the midwest? (Lexington, Louisville: living in, restaurant)

To me most of KY is a southern state except for northern KY and even far western KY feels midwest to me.

I've always said "pop" and when I've visited other states they call it that too. Guess I don't hang out with the "soda" type.

Most people I have met from the Eastern part of the state say pop. Most people here say Coke...I don't why I say soda.

We don't say soda or pop; we say soft drink. Gotta say it "sawf' drank" for the true effect. LOL
