    I feel like the majority of bees are from the East Coast, but I could be wrong. I thought I would post a poll just to get a feel from where everyone's posting from!

    I know my groups are pretty random, I hope the poll is still easy to answer.

    I voted South, but (and this isn't me being a cocky Texan), I think Texas deserves its own category.  Texas doesn't quite fit into the "South," the way the other Gulf Coast states would.  And "West," could be anything from Colorado to California.

     

    Good idea for a poll!

    @bells219:  sorry! i didn't want there to be too many categories, so I just googled the census regions...there are only four! sorry that the categories are so broad everyone!!!

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Census_Regions_and_Division_of_the_United_States.svg

     
    ETA: This way of classification seems kinda weird to me though because Delaware is considered a southern state--I have never thought of it as a southern state! If you guys have a better way of creating state groups, let me know!!

    I picked other because I'm from IL, but that's not where I'm living for the next year, and after this, I'm not sure where I'll be living. I'm a resident of IL though so perhaps I should have based my vote off of that lol

    As a southern girl, I must say, if Delaware is the south, that thing is wrong. We consider the South from Virginia down. Northeners says Maryland and DC are too, but if your restaurants don't sell sweet tea on the regular, it's not the south. :-D

    @sweetpea87:  I think everything below the Mason Dixon line is considered "the south".  It does include Maryland but not Delaware.  We have sweet tea in some places up here but this sure as hell aint south.

    @ticatica  I love Australia and really don't miss anything about the U.S., apart from my family and friends. I live in Sydney and had been here previously (came here for a summer in college, backpacked around the country after college -- got obsessed and knew I had to move back!!). I've been living here for about 4 years and the transition was very easy. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions! Smile

    @sweetpea87:  I had no idea ppl considered Maryland to be the South. I live there now, and I voted east coast. I guess that's because I'm from the "Real South" & we definitely don't consider Maryland to be the South. Hell, parts of Virginia don't really strike me as Southern.

    @MASPA:  Yeah, that Mason-Dixon line nonsense....j/k. :-D

    I spent my freshman year of college in DC before I transferred, and the culture differences were such that I am now a huge advocate of moving the aforementioned line. Haha. The people I was around that thought Maryland was "The South" were my classmates, who were all from New York/New Jersey/New England.

    I'm in Maryland which, as the bees have been discussing, can be the North or the South depending on who you ask.
