Is Baltimore and DC culturally part the South or Northeast?

[ZoeGod]

When the hell was DC or Maryland ever considered the south?

Cuz they both below the Mason Dixon line. That is considered the South technically but when you look at the culture it's not.

Yup. MD is weird like that. The Baltimore area is definitely more NE culturally but the rest of the state isn't. The Eastern Shore is like southeast VA and NC. The western part is like WVA. Southern MD is country af too and reminds me of NC

You're all the way right about that. I always forget about southern and western Maryland.

 

[Larry Lambo]

DC and Maryland is definitely North East. VA the south tho, it be getting country as hell once you leave Nova.

Country and Southern aren't synonymous, tho. Geographically, most of Maryland is backwoods. Delmarva might as well be South Carolina.

Culturally however bmore & DC aligns much more with NE than the South

It's backwoods in every state outside of major cities.

As an east coaster, I don't feel there's ANYTHING relatable culturally at all.


The first time I heard DMV slang like "mug", "kill", "on my muva" "moe"...."jone...." foe" ....."roe"... "boe".... I was like "The fukk is this made up babble?!! "

Some like some southern drawl shyt.

Well MD was a slave state and the northern border is the Mason Dixon line. Only reason the state didn't secede from the Union is that Lincoln sent federal troops to the state house and stopped it. He didn't want D.C. to be surrounded by the Confederacy

That's weird. Never even saw the variances in regional considerations.

I When you watch the Wire if you didnt know it took place in Baltimore you would thing Philly,the cities of Jersey or Brooklyn. The slang and way they dressed looked northeast.

The only person actually from Baltimore in that show (Snoop) talks like a southerner



You're getting your culture insight from fake tv shows, breh?

It's considered the NE. VA though idk Delaware might as well be in the South.

Both cities is technically the South but culturally is similar to the Northeast. Is that true? I know gangstas from NYC,Jersey,and Philly had ties in DC and B-more for a long time even to this day. It's a known fact that gangstas in NYC get out of town shooters from either Baltimore,VA,DC including Philly and Jersey. Also alot of black folks from the Northeast got ties there as well. So I guess that is why the influence in there. Tell me if I am wrong DMV brehs?

I've considered the DMV area part of the Northeast.

During slavery.

It was below the Mason–Dixon line even tho Delaware wasnt

I think he means how the city looks. Baltimore and Philly look pretty much the same architecturally

 

[Polofresh4]

DMV is technically in the northeast.

However, anyone from the other northeast places (Philly, Jersey, NY, Boston, etc.) will say its southern.

But this aint like Georgia or something like that

 

[FSP]

Baltimore has nothing in common with southern cities.

DC is where you could make a point but even then.
