No offense, but I don't like this map-- seems awfully arbitrary. For a few: Why is CA so detailed but other states with equally distinct regions are not? Why is a small sliver of NE IA included in Great Lakes? Why is part of MI's UP in Great Lakes but part in North Central? Why does Upper Rural North's eastern boundary conform exactly to NY's eastern boundary? Why does Great Lakes encompass only 2 and a small part of a third Great Lake?
I agree, I've never considered the east coast to just be the BosWash. My definition of the east coast has always been all areas between Calais, ME & Key West, FL (including these towns themselves). And yes the BosWash is obviously included, it's a constituent of the east coast, not the whole east coast.
My definition of Mid-Atlantic is Montauk to Cape Hatteras, this does not include NY State (only the NYC area). LI, NYC, NJ, E-PA, DE, MD, DC, E-VA, E-NC. This is also usually the case meteorologically as well. The Southern Northeast and the Northern Southeast.

I agree with you about the "East Coast" being much more than that Corridor and that it's a little crazy to exclude parts of New England and anything south of DC. That's like me saying, "Hey, you're not from the West Coast, you're from Seattle." (slap)
Before I started reading C-D, I always had the Mid-Atlantic as DE, MD, DC, VA (north and coastal), and half of coastal NC. My opinion can change and it does sound reasonable to have it as the southern Northeast and northern Southeast. I like that, it sounds good.
