I’ll offer a regional. If an old time in Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas says “I’m going over-town” instead of “I’m going down-town” those familiar with the region know which side of the state line that person is from.

That’s because commuters to downtown Kansas City, Missouri from the Kansas side used an incline streetcar line to cross the Kansas River and go over the bluff to connect to KCMO on the 12th street line. Therefore, the Kansas City, Kansas folks grew up using “over town” instead of the more regionally common downtown.
