SJ.com census, Part Deux: Where do you live?

So, in the Canuckistanian way of dividing up the US, is Minnesota Midwest US or Great Lakes?

Or is it actually considered part of Canuckistan?

 

Quite a battle between the Northeast and Southeast.

 

Yes, yes and yes

 

Does Alaska count as Northwest or Other?

 

You were a goalie. You're an honorary Canuckistani.

 

Texas could go in three regions, depending on where you are. El Paso is Southwest, Amarillo is Midwest and Beaumont/Port Arthur is Southeast.

 

I lived the majority of my life -- minus my decade of Navy service -- in East Texas. But I flatly refuse, REFUSE I tells ya', to admit I live in the Southeast. So fuckit! I live in the Southwest. Always have and always will.

 

Having lived in both the U.S. Southeast and East Texas, I can only offer my expert opinion:

Texas is NOT the South. And the South is NOT Texas. It's not even close.

 

Deferring to you and AA on the E. Texas knowledge, what WOULD it qualify as? Too far east to be Southwest, right? GOM ideally is its own category.

 

Texas absolutely should have been its own category, like California. But JR, as within his rights, said no more categories. So SW it is, even though I live less than 30 minutes north of Houston and, as a result, not very far from Louisiana.

But dammit...how many songs do you hear about Louisiana? Texas really is a whole other country...as the ads say.

 

Texas, like AA said, should really be its own designation. Similar to California, there's no "region" that it belongs to -- although at gunpoint, I would reluctantly call it Southwest (yes, even the Houston-Beaumont-Orange region).

 

God bless ya' Buck-Dub.
