@Crazypedia @maya Chesapeake is swinging a little too high and not quite far enough west along the bottom of PA / NYC metro should be spilling out into PA more than it does here (and also i might let upstate NY bleed into the northeastern corner of PA slightly but thats a lot more controversial lol)
Anyway its an interesting level of granularity they’ve chosen — there’s definitely a culturally relevant higher level than this (I will absolutely say ‘mid atlantic’ re: where do you live q’s for example) as well as some very strong identity signifiers a level or two down (DelCo is a clear social identity distinct from the rest of the Chesapeake area. Is your associated metro region Philly, Baltimore, or DC? etc)
