I was actually curious I have never been to Maryland before. I can speak of my experience of Missouri being southern in the southern part of the state...since I live here. I have heard of a similar situation in Maryland but not to the extent of Missouri. Obviously most people don't think Maryland has much southernness to it according to the survey, lol.
As someone that's been to Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey, Maryland felt more like Virginia than it did like New Jersey. Pittsburgh felt more like New Jersey than anywhere in Maryland did.
There were lots of votes quickly. Some people must have sad lives to go online and ruin a survey that means absolutely nothing in the scheme of things....bot sure if it's happening or not but there were tons of votes that happened quickly.

Go to Bethesda, Rockville, Potomac, or Olney. It feels exactly like you're in NJ and if Maryland feels like Virginia then why did you bother saying West Virginia? Virginia and West Virginia aren't nothing alike too

You should ask JerseyGirl how she feels about that.
Maryland, to me, feels like Maryland and New Jersey feels like New Jersey. Though I would say the DC burbs feel more like the Atlanta burbs given the abundance of new construction and the large transient population of both metros.

I lived in New Jersey with my ex boyfriend after college for a long time. After we broke up I moved back to the DC area, I lived in Hunterdon county. I know exactly what I'm talking about, yes the NoVa side can resemble the Atlanta suburbs but I'm not talking about NoVa. Specifically the Maryland suburbs definitely does not feel like an Atlanta suburb. There's not many new development in Olney, Potomac and certain areas of Rockville. Northern VA and Bethesda are getting the most development so that where you're wrong. Olney is still very much farmland but it feels like Long Valley NJ.
There is very little southern about Maryland. I say this as a guy who generally prefers the southeast over other areas of the country. Where most people live, it is a typical BosWash (i.e. northeastern) culture. In some less populated areas in southern Maryland there is a quasi-southern border culture, but even calling it this is really stretching it.
