The problem is Pennsylvania should really be split. Western PA is very midwestern while Eastern PA is clearly Northeast. I don't think many people from Pittsburgh even claim Philly to be part of the state.I think it’s safe to say we’re first in that, too…
You’re onto something there. I’ve always felt like we culturally associate closer with the Midwest but still want to claim we’re Northeast due to the “status” that comes with being a Northeast city. We’d much lump ourselves in with New York, Boston, and, yes, even Philadelphia instead of Cleveland, Chicago, and Detroit.
The status of a northeast city? I’m going to break some hard news. The other 99% of the country thinks the entire area you’re championing is full of the worst America has to offer….and they aren’t wrong. Who desires to live in the NE I f you don’t have to?
By status, I mean the idea that the northeast has some of the largest cities/markets in the country.
This is pretty wild, and if someone does dismiss the northeast like that it’s pretty evident you’re dealing with some form of ignorance. Which is surprising, given the perception that Kansas has - I’ve never been, but I’m assuming Kansas’ reality is far more complex than the podunk, backwards cornfields 99% of the country pictures.
You said it better than I ever could- thank you. And as someone who moved to Kansas City nine years ago for a professional opportunity, I can attest to the fact that reality can be much more complex and beautiful than the perceptions. It’s sad that some people choose ignorance instead.
I mean Oklahoma and Texas won’t identify with the south but ok. They’re the “plains” along with Kansas and the heartland. Or they’re the southwest with New Mexico and ArizonaEverything from arm wrestling to sports, to the prettiest ladies. Who'd be on top.?

I'd agree with most that have the order of 3-1-2-4 or 3-2-1-4. Northeast is by far the worst. Girls, weather, hospitality. No thanks.
But, I'm a little skeptical of how the South might stack up if Baltimore is thrown into the mix. That might drop us to 3rd or 4th place.

It's a depressing city. Everyone likes to tout the harbor area. Which certainly is a nice area, but every city has nice parts to it. 80-90% of Baltimore looks like the pics I posted.
Richest person in Baltimore is probably the guy who supplies all the plywood for the broken windows. It's everywhere. This city needs a lot of help; it's hardly distinguishable from a third world country.
Ouch , and I’m a native Baltimorean ! There are some nice places like Canton or Fells, and of course more trouble areas like any City.
