What area of the country do you live in?

What area of the country do you live in?

[Greyhound]

1. Point?

[Yollam]

9. Somebody had asked in the Lounge...

...so I volunteered to take a poll.

No point beyond curiosity really.

[BOSSHOG]

2. South Mississippi

[LisaM]

3. I voted West Coast, but I wish you'd put Pacific Northwest

which is quite different from Southern California.

Also, you should have tried to distinguish the Great Lakes region - very different from Kansas, yet they are all lumped togther in "Midwest".

[Blue_In_AK]

28. I agree with that...

I had to put Alaska, Hawaii or other territory, although the last time I checked, Alaska and Hawaii are states. I would have called Alaska Pacific Northwest.

[FSogol]

4. You left out the Mid-Atlantic. That's where I live. n/t

[jaysunb]

5. Lounge Act ??????????

:evilfrown:

[havocmom]

8. That or info mining?

Could even be both

[Yollam]

11. I don't even know what info mining is...

...but it sounds like something that people who do it could already do by looking at our IPs or whatever, right?

[Yollam]

18. This idea originated in the Lounge.

However, I thought it would be a more accurate reading if taken in GD.

[Dees]

6. Mid Atlantic....n/t

[Punkingal]

7. I checked southwest....

But I live in Nevada part of the time, and Tennessee part of the time.

[rucky]

10. What's the difference between Northeast & New England? n/t

[Yollam]

13. Brain Fart.

I changed it to "mid atlantic" I would like to have put all the other regions people have mentioned but there are a few too many. I put Texas alone because it is distinctly different culturally from the rest of the South, is an enormous geographical area, and has a large population.

Unfortunately, it's hard to please everyone.

[MADem]

15. The Northeast is bigger

New England is only six states--MA, NH, VT, ME, CT, and RI. NY is in the northeast, but is not a New England state!

PA could be considered northeast, but then some might call it mid-Atlantic, too....

[Yollam]

17. Now I know why my Grandma told me to hate Yankees!

Yer uppity, talks too fast, and makes me all confused!

:silly:

[txindy]

26. I thought it was 'cause they all wear pinstripes. Even after Labor Day.

Oh, not those Yankees? Now you're confusing me, too!

:rofl:

[txindy]

12. A hint:

Well, that and my name. ;)

[Theres-a]

16. I love that smiley!

:D

[txindy]

20. It was down to that one or this:

I was torn.

[Theres-a]

23. You made a good choice.

:7

[murielm99]

14. We certainly have a lot of Southerners here.

Maybe DU keeps them sane and lets them know they are not alone.

I live in a very red part of a blue state, and DU does that for me.

[tnlefty]

21. I know that it helps me to try to remain sane.

Did I mention try? :hi:

[txindy]

22. There's a lot of truth to that.

It also helps DU see that not everyone in Texas or any other 'red' state/area is all bad, like some suggest from time to time. In fact, just yesterday we had a Dem win a seat in the TX legislature after defeating a repub in a district gerrymandered by BugManDelay's redistricting project. She won by 58%!
:toast:
No, all is not lost.

[Vanje]

19. I live in rural Idaho

God help me!

[txindy]

24. I live in the heart of Texas

I feel your pain! ;) :hug:

[cynatnite]

25. I used to live in Rexburg...I feel for you

:hug:

[Clark2008]

27. Wow! Lookit all the Southerners!!

And many on this board still think this region is backwards and solid red.

[Katherine Brengle]

29. so much for the "new england liberal" concept, lol... n/t

[rustydog]

30. Pacific Northwest bay-be Seahawk country

[meganmonkey]

31. "Great Lakes Region"

I live in Michigan, but I can't call it the "midwest" because, well, look at a map :shrug:

[DemonGoddess]

32. SE Indiana

[pearl]

33. I live on the north side of Chicago

and about to move to Marble Falls, Tx. Ya'll need another dem
vote down there. I was born in Spohn, CC but been in Chi Town for
20 years.

[jaysunb]

34. Marble Falls ????

I didn't think there were more than 12 people that had ever heard of it and definitely NOBODY moving there.
The worlds biggest rock pile. Right next to Granite.

Wow, brings back memories.......

Enjoy. :rofl:
