Is Baltimore an Northeastern city? (California, Oakland: to buy, school, tax)

[mancat100]

Baltimore feels very much like home to me.

Philadelphia is home.
Philadelphia is in the north.
Baltimore feels very much like Philadelphia.
Therefore....Baltimore feels like the north.

I remember when I used to work with a girl from Baltimore City and our male co-workers use to tease her by saying that she never traveled anywhere. Her reply was that she visits Philly on a regular basis. My male co-workers died laughing and exclaimed that "Philly IS Baltimore! Philly looks the same. They dress the same up there! It smells the same! You left home without leaving home!" It was very funny to say the least.

Baltimore has a lot of 'southern' qualities as does 'DC'. But they are both considered 'mid atlantic', east coast cities, then there are the northern cities in NY.NJ.CT

For all intensive purposes, some of Philly, southern NJ, parts of upstate, rural NY have a southern feel.

So I guess every area south of Boston feels southern to you? That's something you would expect someone from the state of Maine to say, not someone from Maryland.

Baltimore has a lot of southern qualities about and not new southern either I'm talking about the old south.

[Infinite_heights77]

Naw, not really.

Malcolm X once said, "stop talking about the South, as long as you're south of the Canadian border, you live down south." Lol

Certain southern qualities are good and productive, but the southern qualities Baltimoreans have adopted haven't been beneficial to the city and its residents.
