re: #249 thedopefishlives
I picked up a bit of the Minnesotan when I moved here. I never had the strong central Indiana accent of my other relations, probably due to my parents moving around through the Midwest when I was younger. So I sound more Minnesotan than my native Hoosier by now.
I spent part of my first 17 summers in WI. We have no NJ accent to speak of, but the upper Midwest? Oh, I can do that no problem.
