Milwaukee-Cleveland-Norfolk.

I've never lived in any of those places. Parents are from Dayton, OH and South Bend, IN. I spent ages 1-9 in CO/NM, 9-12 in DC area, 12-20 in FL panhandle, 20-22 in central MO and 23+ in the Deep South. I'm sure I've picked up and put down different accents and vocab over the years, so I think the results are a bit "least-common-denominator" for me..

What the hell? This is too accurate. Im from PG county, MD and the most similar is Washington, D.C, Richmond, Baltimore. I guess because I pernounce Mary, Marry, and Merry the same and have drive thru liquor stores, lol. Least similar is Detroit, Des Moines, and Minneapolis.

I got Santa Rosa, Corona, Sacramento. All in CA, but the kicker is.......I'm a Corona native.

My wife got Omaha, Lincoln, Denver. She is from Ridgecrest, CA, but has lived in Denver for 7 years. I always thought her and her Ridgecrest ilk talked weird, however.

Surprisingly accurate. They really did their research. I can't believe they actually had neutral ground as an option for the middle of a boulevard! Pegged me to NOLA.
