Do you consider Ohio "Midwest" or "Back East?" (Cleveland: low income, neighborhoods)

Ohio is such gorgeous country. It is a loss not to get to know it.

People are just too closed-minded to discover Ohio's beauty.

Well, that's what CD is for. Hopefully the beautiful pictures on here will open their eyes.

According to your logic:

Cleveland has a southern accent.

To someone from New England or NYC, Cleveland will have a southern draw to it (don't believe me, I can gladly post the question in their section if you'd like?) ... so, if this is true, then there must be a bit of "twang." ... right?

... you guys make it too easy. BTW, of course you know someone that says: "yall" in NEO, his username is Samir_Abdul and his in this forum. He actually says "yall" more than folks do in Miss.

I am here. Everyone has their own opinion. It's okay. We know what we're saying is true. If no one else has heard what we've heard,then they are not from where we're from.

My friend is from Lancaster south of C-bus and she and her family all have a little bit of a twang that us northern Ohioans notice. It's nothing like a southern drawl, but it definitely sounds different that what we're used to. I'm not saying you guys are weirdos or don't talk right, but to us you guys sound somewhat southern, not totally southern, but somewhat. Also, I'm sure not everyone down in your neck of the woods has that same accent, some people do not. Just like some people in the Cleveland area don't have the Great Lakes accent. You need to lighten up.
