It wasn't relevant to his response. My comment was the opposite, so nope it's still useless.

In your opinion because you're biased, being from the DC area. "Mid-Atlantic" doesn't have one set meaning, although you might think so being a DC native and residing in NoVA. Making the distinction King of Kensington made sense.

It has nothing to do with my bias. Yes I am biased, but he never said DC or NoVa wasn't midatlantic. He said they were but his comment wasn't relevant to the guys response. That's what I'm talking about, you're on a different page. Neither have I said it had one set meaning either nor do I believe it does.

You're talking about something entirely different than what I am. Don't know why you the felt the need to explain something when infact that's not what I was talking about in the very first place.

It was a point of clarification that King brought up since "mid-Atlantic" means different things to different people. I'm not sure why that bothers you so much since it's obvious that the vibes are pretty different between the two regions although they are both referred to as "mid-Atlantic," especially in relation to NC (which this thread is about). NC feels much more like the DMV version of mid-Atlantic as opposed to the NJ/NY/PA version and I think most reasonable people would agree with that.

Still not what I'm talking about and it does not bother me because I've lived in Northern NJ and grew up in the DC area so I've seen and lived through the differences and have seen them first hand. You haven't on the other hand, so I don't need you to explain to me about something that wasnt relevant to what I was referring to in the very first place. Also most reasonable people wouldn't refer to North Carolina as the Mid-Atlantic nor a transition zone. Although thanks for your help but it wasn't needed nor asked for.

Nobody in this thread said NC was the mid-Atlantic or a transition zone, but that's what King said about VA. I'm still confused as to why you're getting unhinged over what seems to be a rather innocuous comment.

There are similarities with both, but I'm tempted to go with Georgia in this day and age. The I-85 corridor from Atlanta to the Triangle has gradually turned into a megaregion over the years, and the culture is quite similar throughout the entire region. Booming Piedmont cities (Atlanta, Charlotte, etc.), suburban sprawl, older textile mill towns, similar college towns (Athens, Chapel Hill), BBQ restaurants, etc.

Interestingly enough, North Carolina was the only state of the three to vote for Trump in 2020. However, I would still categorize North Carolina as a purple state, especially since North Carolina governors tend to be Democrats.
