The Northeast is Philly to Boston - Those DC "wannabe Northerners" crack me up. The way of life (and pace of life) is completely different. DC doesn't have any of that northern grittiness that's found in Philly, New York, New Haven, Boston, Hartford etc.

MD and DE are definitely southern in nature - but Baltimore does have a lot of Northern characteristics I will admit.

Exactly!

The people on these boards trying soooo hard to lump DC in with the North and doing everything they can to push it further north than it is, because they cant accept it was once and still is (to a degree) a Southern city.

And they cant accept that. People move to NOVA and cant accept Virginia is a truly Southern state. So they put up a fight aboot it.

Hardly anyone in the South would consider Maryland or DC the south. They definitely will not consider DE the south. DC doesn't have the northern grittiness like in Philly, New York, New Haven, etc.? Are you talking about the District of Columbia. Basically, if you was to ask most people up here what region they are in, they will tell you mid-atlantic.

The Mid-Atlantic is not the Northeast, though.

No, it isnt. By defintion the middle of something is not the North. Its not the Deep South either. But its not the Northeast. Im beggining to wonder if you're just trying to be contrary.

Agreed, even though your agenda annoys me just a bit.

Ask anyone in the *true* north. DC usually is not considered that. Maybe some up north would disagree, but anyone I've spoken to would laugh if NoVA/DC/MD were considered the Northeast.

Just because it has a high population density and traffic, does not mean it's part of the northeast. No way, no how.
