I never said there wasnt southern people there... Latin culture Dominates all the cultures in Miami 66 percent of the population speaks spanish only 25 percent speaks English. Latin isthe dominate culture and there not Southern people.... I do not consider myself american nor southern. Im islander my descendents were british and Polish... Miami is the least Southern City of all the major cities....

Theres a difference in moving to the South and being raised the Southern way...

food, culture, religion, politics, etc. While there are universal commonalities, there are differences between the Midwest, West Coast, South, etc. that are different.

I wouldn't consider Phily a mid-atlantic city. Mainly VA, DC, DE, and MD. These areas tend to be transitional areas that could fit in either area. Btw, I hope you didn't smack your head too hard. LOL!

Yeah, but we know that this can vary just as much throughout a region. Especially the south.

Even in the Northeast. Do Buffalo, Boston, Trenton, and NYC have the same culture? I've only been to Trenton so I can only comment on that but I'm sure their are differences.

I live here, so here is my answer:

HELL YES!!!!

This city is screams northeast in everything, from public transportation, to the rude people on the street, to the architectural design of all the buildings. This city is much more NYC-PHI-BOS than it is for it's southern counterparts. People will laugh at you if you tell them they are "southerners".

Like other posters said, it is in the BosWash corridor

It is also where the AmTrak Acela ends. You can also take airport shuttles from DC to New York or Boston if you wish

DC is definitely northeast. Not Southern by any means

Case closed. DC is part of the Bosh-Wash corridor, historically the most populous, densely populated, and industrialized part of the country. As a result it has much more in common with Boston, Philly and New York than with Houston or Atlanta. There is nothing "southern" about DC.
