    It nailed me right on for St Louis! Except also eEast coast. BUT my Mom and Aunt I speak to 2-3 times a week are East Coast! And I've been told I sound a little like them. How weird and fun!

    I am glad y'all liked the test.

    Although I have lived in Oregon for the past 10 years my accent remains slightly southern.
    I spent most of my adult life in Texas and several southern states.

    My family gets a kick out of the way I talk. Some words come out strange...like oil, neighborhood. I say fixin' and crik (creek), move house instead of theater. The list goes on.

    Happy New Year!!

    It got mine right. Born 15 miles north of Boston. I think it was the "sneakers", "sub" and "turnpike that gave me away even though I've lived in Maine longer then MA.

    This put me in Alabama ... which is correct ... but had me between Birmingham, Mobile, and Montgomery ... when I am about 2 hours NORTH of Birmingham ... pretty darn accurate if you ask me.

    I tried it too, despite never living anywhere other than Canada. It said Buffalo, NY, and Pembroke Pines and Fort Lauderdale, FL. (I'm guessing that's all the snowbirds. ) Washington was Dark red, and when we vacation there, we tend to feel at home.

    Thanks Chasing Hawk, such fun. My results were right on. I now live in Tn. but was a native born Detroiter and that is where they had me. I also drink Pop.
