Dude... just leave BenConstine alone.

Arlington, VA - Southern, though heavily populated by non-Southerners.

Miami, FL - More of a "first world Caribbean" along with a mixture of Tri-State area.

El Paso, TX - Seems more "Southwestern" than "Southern". Can be said of most of TX cities.

Austin, TX - Seems more "Southwestern" than "Southern". Can be said of most of TX cities.

Chapel Hill, NC - Yes. It's just liberal however.

Charleson, WV - More of an Appalachian culture.

Orlando, FL - Economy is heavily centered around Disney, but apart from that it is probably "meta-southern"

Louisville, KY - Yes, somewhat more Appalachian though and less Southern. Though the Black population could increase the Southern influences.

Baltimore, MD - Maybe in the past, but could be just like any northern metro area today. A large number of blacks would increase the Southern influences.

St. Louis, MO - Seems more Midwestern.

I tried do draw what I consider the South once... The darker the shade, the more southern I consider it.

Note: I did not bother with "islands" such as Chapel Hill.

There's really nothing Southern at all about that light blue part of Texas.

It really marks the distinct point where the South hits the Southwest. But I agree, its not really Southern.
