Interesting that you all think of Maryland and Virginia... I still don't get how to more or less mutually exclusive definitions have begun to coexist. Oh well, many Americans are bad at geography anyway.
Right, but there isn't as much movement to South Central PA because it is rural and many people don't want to lose the amenities of the city/suburbs. There is a small population of people who live in York or Shrewsbury but work in the Baltimore area. I can imagine that the commute isn't as hectic as commuting around DC.
That amount of people that commute from PA to Baltimore isn't that small. It's large enough to have commuter buses dropping commuters off in Hunt Valley, and have you seen 695 and especially 83? Littered with PA commuters day and night.

It's relatively small; not many people live in York county, and not all of those people work in Baltimore. It's just not suburban.
There is a PDF online about York County growth patterns and it says that of the 51,022 people who live in there but work outside of the county, 32% work in Maryland. 16,000 people compared to millions of Maryland residents isn't that large IMO. Don't know what that is to you.
Edit: It's called Growth Trends - York County Planning.

Have you taken a look at a US map recently?
The state is southern, which I already stated. Linguistics are not the only thing that make a place a part of a region.

also if you include Canada on the atlantic VA could be deemed as the southern portion etc.
Which is exactly why i added that second sentence. Virginia is SOUTHERN without a doubt as a whole, but the majority of that state I would still define in the Mid-Atlantic sub region.
And c'mon Kid adding Canada to base your argument really? If that's case were all southern.

was more for a point and to show depends on perspective and also geographic location is not always in sync with names.
just saying my perspective was always Mid Atlantic to be the southern portion of the Northeast with NJ being the epi-center so to speak but again this may be my perspective
In summation:
Northern Mid-Atlantic: NY, NJ, PA
Southern Mid-Atlantic: VA, MD, most of DE.
West Virginia: sometimes included but not very "Atlantic".
