Trade Mobile for Montgomery and me too.
This tells me you have a lovely voice that's music to others ears.

Most similar: Winston Salem, Greensboro, Chattanooga.
Least similar: Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St. Paul
Makes sense, I fricking loathe the accents from up there. Nothing worse than a hot broad with that awful accent.

This is more about use of certain words, not accents

Damn maps won't show up on my phone

True enough, but seeing certain words that they use makes me thing of the horrendous accent that accompanies those words.

Pretty spot on.. wow.
These maps show your most distinctive answer for each of these cities.
Birmingham, Montgomery and Jackson
