Re: US Geography

Americans are pretty bad at geography too, TBH. I'm speaking as one such American. XD

Here's a map for reference.

Boston is the northern most city. Gets cold. NYC is south of it. Philadelphia is south of that, then Baltimore, then D.C. It takes about 4 hours to drive from Boston to NYC, but I'm not sure about the rest of these cities.

Technically, Washington D.C. is considered a Southern place. It's definitely not as cold as NY or Boston in the winter. It was chosen as the capital of the U.S. to cater to powerful folk living in the more Southern colonies like Virginia.

It's pretty easy to travel from city to city by AMTRAK, though I think only business people do it on a regular basis.

Haha I've heard that. But at least they know where these cities are! I thought Boston was like, way further south. Same as New York.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I was mostly just surprised at how wrong I was. Like majorly wrong.

It's...south? Huh. I would've pegged it as northern but okay.

AMTRAK?

The expensive train that runs between all these cities.

Wow, don't tell any actual Southerners that you consider D.C. Southern. *I'm* not Southern enough for many of them, and at least my state fought on the correct side of the Civil War to earn that title. (Okay, so Maryland was kept under martial law to prevent it from joining the C.S.A.)

And D.C. was a COMPROMISE, as being about halfway in the middle of the then existing states, north and south. (Also, it was swampland, but that doesn't have much to do with this.)
