Kentucky would never be considered part of the Mid-Atlantic region...all of the states in that region have a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. Kentucky is closer to the Great Lakes than to the Atlantic Ocean.
Kentucky is a southern state, but I guess it could also be considered Appalachia...or maybe group the Ohio River states together as a subregion. But it's definitely not Mid-Atlantic.
Pennsylvania has no coastline, either, but is considered mid-Atlantic. After I lived in Illinois a while, I began to consider KY the "midwestern south".

My own invention. If Illinois is the midwest, then Kentucy is a midwestern southern state. Also Tenn, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana. But we're talking about Kentucky here.

That makes sense if there's a southeast and northeast why not the same equivalents for other regions of the US?
Years and years ago, before Richmonder was a Richmonder, before Vasinger ever sang a note, before Blueva had ever posted a word, the telephone industry was dominated by the Bells. Richmond was served by Bell Atlantic, not BellSouth. I don't know what that means, and I don't know what Kentucky's phone company was. I just like to poke fun at carpetbaggers.

Yep, and except for WV, those are all generally assumed to be in the Mid-Atlantic region. Richmond hasn't been truly Southern since the rebels burned it down.
I LOVE threads like these! They make me feel all that much more intelligent!
