Here's mine: http://nyti.ms/1jD0Bnt

 

So apparently I'm from Baltimore. Or maybe Yonkers.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I was Baltimore, DC, Richmond.

I got a little more southern, Richmond, VA Beach...but I think that's cause I knew what a Brew Thru was.

I said that too but I got BMore, StL and Montgomery.

I knew what it was, but we don't have those up here in the PRM

The question set changes each time you take it. Earlier, I got Richmond, Winston-Salem, and Jackson as the most similar places. The second time, I got Baltimore, Washington, and Jackson. The third time, I got Baltimore, Greensboro, and Jackson. The fourth time, I got Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond. The fifth time, I got Baltimore, Washington, and Greensboro. So, going by that, Baltimore came up most (four times), followed by Jackson and Washington (three times each), Greensboro and Richmond (twice), and Winston-Salem (once). The heat map pretty consistently puts the most similarity right around Westminster. Interesting, as I've lived in Maryland most of my life, but closer to Washington than Baltimore, and much more exposed to Washington-centric media. My family also has a heavy downstate component, or points farther south.

I got the NYC area.  Both my parents were raised in the NYC area before moving.   But I've never lived there and have lived in MD since 1987.

 

Interesting.

Baltimore, DC & Richmond.

I got SoCal. Lived there for 3 years in my 20s, but never thought I picked up a dialect.

I got Augusta, Lexington, and Atlanta. My dad was from Arkansas and my mom was English so I thought I might be out there.

[McNulty]

My map was red pretty much everywhere expect the pacific NW, which was just a little blue.

 

I guess it makes sense since I've lived all over, but the 3 syllable Caramel, brew-thru and y'all pegged me for most likely Richmond, Baltimore and Greensboro.

It's pretty cool that I live about an hour north of you and the dark red area demonstrates that.

[Mark Carver]

Born and breed in Baltimore for 39 years until I moved to Southern PA. So, Baltimore, Richmond and Winston-Salem. I got me some southern in this here Yankee.

[Chris B]

I got Philly, Newark (NJ) and Yonkers. Pretty accurate to where I grew up. Neat

[Markus]

Akron, Rockford, and Aurora and I've never even been to that part of the Midwest, aside from layovers. Plus I so know what a Brew Thru is.

[DJ MC]

Aurora

 

Excellent!
