That was pretty terrible. I'm embarrassed for you.

OKC, Springfield-MO, and Little Rock.

I've spent most of my life within that triangle, so it makes sense.

I'm on mobile and can't paste the map but my most similar are Houston Baton Rouge and New Orleans and my least similar are Minneapolis/St. Paul, Salt Lake and Des Moines. Pretty spot on since I've lived in Houston an East Texas my whole life

Also I love the map for "What do you call the small road parallel to the highway?" I answered feeder road and the map is solid blue for the whole country except the Houston metro, which is solid red. Obviously my biggest indicator

Little Rock, OKC, Shreveport. That's about right.

Took the test several times to get a few different questions. OKC, springfield, MO, Louisville, and Lexington were my top matches. I haven't lived in or near any if these cities except some time in STL when I was a kid. My only blue areas were the NE, upper Midwest, and out west.

I knew the test would struggle with me. my parents are from Louisiana/SE TX and I've spent the last 6 years in LA/GA but grew up mostly in MO and IA. My dialect never reflected IA at all but it's not completely southern either. I guess it all comes together to make me from a border state Pretty interesting stuff!

That's a pretty tight little grouping. I think we should go with Marty to W. Memphis, throw down some coin on the greyhounds, and go frick Beale St. up then rip off a truck stop hooker leaving her on the side of the road with a mouth of man juice, and no dignity nor payday.
