I'm curious how Lafayette came to be revitalized while everything around it remains rusty.

I guess I could be curious about Pittsburgh too but there are like 9 or 10 times the people around there.

e: I am actually sort of curious, I have no idea where that map comes from

I used to recruit for the area, there are a lot of automotive and aerospace facilities there and I believe a lot of logistics industries. That said, if that qualifies, Indi, Columbus, Cinci and others should qualify.

I'm going to be hanging out at the Dayton Air Force Museum rather than watching football this Sunday so just keep this in mind for the gdt.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Now post ring distribution correlated with that area's average penis size. Which region has the best ring-to-dong ratio?

Pittsburgh had a good mayor in the late 70s/80s who helped transition the economy from manufacturing steel and aluminum to banking, medicine and biotech. Probably helps that Carnegie Mellon University is the low-key hub of DARPA too

My blood sugar is gon' be like

~^^^^*WHOA*^^^^~

the annual region debate. A time honored tradition.

I'll be that guy who says the Pac NW is the best region / we don't have our own accent. This is supported by the fact that people keep moving here and raising my loving living expenses news anchors sound like us. Our football quality ebbs and flows but mostly we don't have REALLY BAD teams very often. I remember that one jon bois chart where the seahawks were essentially the most "stable" team in what to expect in W-L. They look to return to their native 7-9 to 10-6 home this year.

I am going to my annual Seahawks game today and hope they have an exciting win against the Chargers. Though the chargers are 5-2 this game feels like a toss up

UW has imploded tho which makes me sad. Though I look forward to the annual throttling of WSU especially if WSU comes in top 10.

Am I doing this regional piss contest right?

Well, you see Princeton is in the same county as Trenton. The D&R canal, which expedited shipping of coal from Pennsylvania to New York City in the nineteenth century, runs just by the campus. Furthermore, the Northeast Corridor...

Neither Philly nor NYC are NE. Baltimore is very clearly a rust belt city. Idk how you can argue otherwise given the state of that city

DC used to be the South but is trending North pretty heavily these days. You can even see a difference in fashion and attitude on one side of the Potomac vs the other.

Of course, the classic joke is that it's the city of Southern efficiency and Northern hospitality. Southern summer humidity, Northern winter cold. Woohoo!

Baltimore, like the rest of Maryland, isn't really anything. It's not the north, it's not the south, it's just...Baltimore. Sneakily might be America's weirdest state.

The exception is southern Maryland, which is south as fuckk.
