Cool map! I like that my state (Michigan) can hold its own in the news - presumably because of the auto industry. Now if only we could get some GOOD news for a change…

Matt - I’m not sure anyone considers Maryland part of the South at this point.

I agree, in DC local news is national news! And as represented by the map, it really IS like living in a fishbowl!

the american “south” can actually be split up into:

- the north mid-atlantic (maryland, north virginia)
- the south mid-atlantic (south virginia, north carolina)
- appalachia (western nc, tennessee, kentucky)
- the delta south (southern missouri, western tennessee)
- the dixie south (south carolina, georgia)
- florida (north/central/south, all very different)
- the deep south (mississippi, alabama)
- louisiana (it’s own unique history and cultural mix)
- texas (nuff said)

each of these areas have their own accent, culture, and bbq sauce.
