I don't know. It doesn't change the fact that MD is a southern state, though.
Historically, a case can be made for that. However, the state has been moving away from it's Southern roots since the Civil War and by the time we get to the 21st century, it's pretty far removed. I wouldn't consider Maryland part of the modern South. It is in the conversation when talking about history, especially the pre-Civil War era.
Definitely this. Louisville is where the South meets the old industrial Midwest.
Louisville has a horrible climate, right on the heavily polluted Ohio River. Extreme heat and humidity in the summer and pitch dark gray winters. The heat island is absurd with temperatures that are occasionally over 90F at 11 PM at night.

I see it has a southern state that isn't stereotypically southern, but I don't think that it is less southern that has as always been.
I can generally agree with Louisville, although Richmond is probably a better fit. I think owing to the general southernness of Southern and central Missouri and its connection to the South via the Mississippi River, there’s a tenuous case to be made for STL, though I personally wouldn’t say it fits quite well enough. WV’s Margo cities like Charleston and Beckley deserve a look too. They’re visually quite Northern but culturally pretty Southern IMHO.

I would agree with St. Louis being Midwestern but the city itself and the entire state of Missouri defenitely has southern culture alive and well currently and throughout history!
