according to the yankee/dixie quiz, i am 53% dixie, barely on the dixie side of the line
for context: i was born in new york of parents from the northeast (my parents grew up in new york city and northeastern pennsylvania). when i was several months old i moved to michigan. at age 2, i moved to delaware where i stayed until i finished high school. delaware was a slave state, but never joined the confederacy. my home town, wilmington, definitely considers itself to be part of the "north" (though technically speaking, the mason-dixon line practically goes right through the middle of town). at age 18 i went to college in new york state, then law school in st. louis (probably the closest place to "dixie" i have ever lived), then i moved to chicago for a few years before moving here to this philly suburb.
(yankee/dixie quiz via blogamy who got it from south knox bubba who got it from oliver willis. i dunno where oliver got it from)
