REALLY IMPORTANT POLL

[brigdh]

rm and I have been having this argument discussion for years, and I need to ask your opinion. Also, I'm totally not going to sway your opinion by telling you that Ohio is in the East Coast timezone.

[Poll #1733722]

ETA: I mean culturally, not geographically (though obviously the two are linked).

Also true.

My apologies, I did not mean to imply that Ohio was the South.

Ha, no worries, that's not what I meant either, just I also wouldn't call WV, Tennessee and Kentucky 'east coast', but I also wouldn't call them 'midwest'.

We call them South (here in Detroit) but I think technically they are "Appalachia"

er, in cultural terms, not geographical :)

Ohio is north of the Mason Dixon line, West Virginia and Kentucky are not. So crossing the Ohio River was originally the end point of the Underground Railroad before the line was moved and slaves had to go all the way to Canada to escape. There is a lot of history with escaped slaves beginning new lives in Cincinnati and old houses on both sides of the river that have hidden rooms in the basements and such.
