Excellent as always.
We also have foods here in Cincinnati such as Goetta pronounced GET-uh and it is a wonderful sorta sausage-like breakfast meat, in fact they are having the "Goettafest right now.
My grandmother would ask me to "rid up the table" and we used to have "pitch-ins" instead of pot luck suppers. Over the river in Kentucky people "carry" people to places when they drive them in their car. People have different accents even from one side of Cincinnati to the other and you can "hear" the difference between a west sider and an east sider.
Personally since I don't live there, I think all East coast people sound similar except for those who are from Bah-ston and those from De Bronx. I can't detect a California accent, they all sound like unaccented radio announcers to me.
Come on Y'all. (Yes we say that in Cincinnati too. We ARE on the Mason Dixon line.)
I want to hear MORE.
