    Absolutely never will you catch a southern Illinoisan saying we’re from/in the south. We say Midwest or southern Illinois to be more specific.

      I never understood why people think WV is a southern state. 1) It fucking snows and is cold af in winter. 2) We literally exist because we ain’t traitors.

      It’s funny because I don’t know anyone east of Springfield that would consider themselves the “Ohio River Valley” either. I feel like the borders should be closer to state lines. I would like a reference for this map if anyone has it.
