"The Census Bureau has defined the Northeast region as comprising nine states: the New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont; and the Mid-Atlantic states of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania." Besides, Pittsburg, PA is in a Northeast State." You really never left the region.

Like CFrance, I was born and raised in the western part of PA and as a young adult I moved to southeastern PA. There really is a significant difference between the people of the 2 regions. I always said the dividing line between the Northeast and the Midwest is really somewhere in the middle of PA because of this. I'll never forget the first time my husband, who is from southeastern PA, went with me to my hometown to meet my family. We were walking down the street and random people passing by kept saying "hello". He asked me if I knew all of these people and when I responded no, he wondered why they were saying "hello" to us. I really didn't know how to explain it to him except to say that's just the way it is around here. To me that was just normal - not so to him. And that's when I first realized the difference between eastern PA and western PA.
