PR isn't a state. Sooorrry. It's kinda like DC being seen as the most urban city in the South. Close, but no cigar. Not a Southern city.
In a University of North Carolina poll, 40% of Marylanders responded that they "live in the South." However, a much smaller percentage responded that they were southerners. There's a distinction there. It's the same way a transplant living in South Florida or Metro Atlanta might say that he's "in the South" without seeing himself as a southerner. Alternatively, someone from Baton Rouge who lives in Manhattan may say that he "lives in the North" without seeing himself as a northerner.

Good point, considering the high number of NY/Philly/Bos transplants in DC/Maryland. But do native DC'ers consider themselves and their city part of the South? I want to see those figures.
It's funny, no one in their right mind would consider Tampa, or Orlando, superior cities to Chicago, Philly, LA, SF, or DC. But within the context of this thread, the secondary Florida cities just might have more vibrant and noticeable Caribbean communities than any of the aforementioned "real" cities.

I see that Bajan is at it again as usual. Personally though, I find the entire DC metro area to be part of the Mid-Atlantic as well as the whole of Maryland. I'm a Marylander btw.

Funny how C-D works doesn't it?
