PA is very southern between Philly and Pgh? The people have southern accents? Come on now. lol

I know Carville once described the PA electorate as Philly and Pgh with Alabama squeezed between, but I lived in south central PA for 23 years, have been around the entire state. The only southern accents in PA are from people raised in the South.


Carville is right. Pennsyltucky. When I lived in Monroe County, and still visit, a met a lot of people with a southern drawl. And I always heard rifle fire. Country music was the top music format.
