Haha my best friend from DC went to Louisville for school and transfered to GMU because it was too southern for him.
Opinions sure but the FACT remains that Baltimore and DC is in the South.........

The Correction is that once you drive South of the Maryland/Pennsylvania Line You are in the South which includes Baltimore and DC.............

Just because you refuse to believe that Baltimore and DC is in the South don't remove the FACT that Maryland is in the South..........

And saying Hun' is Most Definitely not a Northern Term as people from Baltimore always uses the Word Hun' like "Welcome to Baltimore Hun'........
I'm originally from NY and from a large family. Of all my aunts, only the one who was born and raised in Baltimore called my siblings and I "Huns". We loved it! She also said stuff like "Bless yore heart" and "My stars!"--not things I ever heard from my NY aunts or anyone else I knew who was from north of the M/D line.

Richmond... I'd throw in Salisbury, MD, but it's too small of a city to be considered a gateway to anything..
