Fucking Rust Belt.

Central as in valley, or central as in coast? I understand that someone or other from a UC studies the dialect of the central coast, but I would not be surprised if the same held true for central valley dialect(s).

You'd likely have a hard time communicating in the Patterson household, as Mrs. Skitch is from New Orleans.

Yet another map where the South sticks out: percentage of foreign born population:

Hey, here's a map where the South looks good! And wow, Idaho's not actually the worst Northwest state (or any state) in this category?

It's the hippy-dippy states.

How difficult is it to do the mail order bride thing? Someone should find a Romanian(seems to be popular point of origin for mail order brides) with measles and ship em to Oregon, just to teach those hippies a lesson.

I'm hoping Google Fiber really shakes things up soon.

I completely disagree with her "meat means mammal" rule, especially when she bends the rules and mentions lobster with regards to Maine. The Northwest has its own special bond with seafood-- otherwise, you're doing it wrong. Washington gets salmon, Oregon gets Dungeness crab, and Idaho gets...caviar. You heard me, caviar.

Florida doesn't have a mammal.

I live in Canada not far from the Maine border and it pretty much nailed it for me as well.
