I am so happy to know you are here! I live in the west suburbs. What area are you "stuck" in?
When I first moved here, I lived in Imperial which was considered the "boonies" then. Oh my gosh, I was told about my accent all the time. I don't think they had ever heard another accent except their own. As I've been here, I learned to curb my accent, dropped the "y'all", and I'm careful about how I say things. It still is hard but I've managed to fit in.
Just be careful on the Pittsburgh threads. They get territorial on there
If you want, send me a PM. We can compare notes
