My Accent Map

They didn’t get it quite right, but pretty close. I actually grew up as a child in central upstate New York (another bright red area). Even after being gone all those years, and living in Tennessee for over 15 years, I still get “You’re not from around here, are you???” on occassion.

RBS

Being Navy brat, I’ve been told on more than one occasion over the years that I either have no accent or talk like a “city boy.”
