Actually, I'm from Philly (that's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), so I probably should not be making fun of other peoples' accents! I don't talk like Rocky Balboa, mind you, but people from Maryland think I'm quaint. (They've got a lot of nerve! Can't even pronounce their own state's name properly -- they say "Mrrlnd.")

Warning: Boring geographical tidbit ahead.
MidAtlantic is loosely defined as US coastal states south of New England and north of "The Deep South." So Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are not MidAtlantic states, and North Carolina probably isn't one either, while Virginia may or may not be, depending on who you are talking to. The "definites" are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
