...it pays to ask the people who actually live there which region of the country they live in. That's one thing I've learned when I've seen morons try to place Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the South.
Nobody ever bothers to ask residents of a place which region they feel their city is located in, and I can never figure out why, especially since a city's self-concept is probably the most important determining factor through it all.
And Your CRAZY AS HELL if you think for a minute that Maryland is not a Southern State and it further proves the point of non-Southerners viewing most southerners as uneducated especially when it comes to history, geography, and race/culture relations.........
I've lived in the area for a long time and have never once come across anyone who considers it part of the south. Whatever vestiges of homegrown southern culture were here have long since disappeared (decades ago).
Your very small opinion which can NEVER Remove the Fact that Maryand is a Southern State..........
Colorado here. Technically you could split Colorado between the West and the Midwest. The mountains are in the West and the farmland plains are in the Midwest. Technically speaking, one could say that Denver lies in the Midwest, because Denver lies on the Great Plains. However, Denver is always placed in the West because of the mountain views.
I've also wondered why Oklahoma and Texas are placed as Southwestern states. The Southwest should be Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, Southwestern Colorado, Southern California, and Southwestern Texas. I suppose the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma could be in the Southwest too, but honestly, I think most of Texas and Oklahoma is way too green to be "Southwestern."
Of course, my opinion on regions is ENTIRELY geographical, as you can tell.

How right you are on the above bolded part! My fiance is also a Colorado native and she thinks exactly like you do as concerns Colorado. And Texas too. That is, it is bascially Southern and very definitely NOT part of the West she knows! LOL I agree.
It is historically a part of the South. The South was much further North until the late 19th century until large-scale immigration changed the culture of the Northern edge pushing the boundary down. More recently is is pushing further down along the Atlantic Coast.
Baltimore was once southern, but since the Great Migration from the south, it is less southern??
I would think Baltimore should be more southern now than it was than, right?? We are NOT southern.
