Should Northeast be New England ?

[tulip]

To those of us in the Southeast, anything north of Maryland is Northeast. Just sayin' it's all relative. If you are unsure of where to post something, you can copy and paste in multiple forums. I do that with Virginia. Seems like everyone in northern Virgina (around DC) thinks that they are Mid-Atlantic, while everything south of there is Southeast (or at least not Mid-Atlantic). So I just post twice and everyone is happy.

I grew up in western PA and never once considered we were in the mid-Atlantic. Never heard that said either. Now I'm in Maryland, and yes, I'm in the mid-Atlantic. :-)

I consider the northeast to be everything north of and including Pennsylvania, including NY and NJ. So, I guess that leaves just Maryland in the mid-Atlantic?
I don't know, DH grew up in PA and his "regional" attitude seems the same as mine, give or take a few regional quirks, mostly of the New England variety on my part. When I lived in AZ, we both were considered to be from the northeast. Of course out there, "back east" means Chicago. It's all relative.
