Philadelphia used to be an East Coast city but now the South has taken over, you don't get to the NE until you go through the Lincoln Tunnel then you are definitely in Yankeeland. They are serving up sweet tea by the gallon, fried catfish, red beans and rice, plus biscuits.
Chicago is also now no longer part of the North or the Midwest or Great Lakes, a Chick Fil A opened in the suburbs and people here are hillbillies. I once saw a rap video and they were out in a barn, that is what Chicago looks like, soon as you get out of DT you are in a cornfield, similar to a southern cotton field or watermelon patch.
jk...Philadelphia is the archetype of East Coast city it was larger and more prominent than NYC before there was NYC... Boston is East Coast too but definitely New England vs MidAtlantic.
I wasn't being serious! I was using this to show how some people equate southerness to cities just because of a waffle house or sweet tea. And yes I have drank sweet tea in Philly.
