I came out Inland North, too - almost equal amounts, on the graph, of The Midland, The Northeast , and Philadelphia - and a strong presence of The South.

I guess that kinda makes sense. I was born and raised in northern Indiana, near Chicago. Both my parents grew up in Chicago. As a young adult, I lived for a number of years around Washington, D.C. - in both Virginia and Maryland, and then moved to my current central Indiana location. Many people in central Indiana, to my ears, have a very pronounced southern accent. And my parents retired to northern Michigan (Traverse City) about 14 years ago. We spend a lot of vacation time up there with them.
