Baltimore, like New Orleans, has one of the most distinct accents in the country, and can't be mistaken for anywhere else.

The Baltimore accent and the Pittsburgh accent are quite similar.

A lot of people in the Twin Cities are in denial about their accent. Sure, the accent's not as strong as in the Iron Range, or in Brainerd, but its there. Just a bit more urban/suburban. You notice it especially in words with the long O and in short vowels like "bag" or "box." Also, there may be a misconception that only white people have the accent, well I dunno about black Minnesotans, but non-white and non-black Minnesotans can have it too.

I am not a big fan of the Minnesota accent my gf has it, I do like Southern accents as long as they are not that hard to understand. I voted New Orleans accent. I like NY accents but on girls it sounds too manly usually for me.

I think Boston followed by New York. I love tough sounding urban accents.

It's weird to explain perfectly.

All I know is, it sounds like they drag out their vowels. To sounds like Tew, Shoe sounds like Shew, and Do sounds like Dew.
