My grandmother had that accent.
After she retired from the VA, she had a few of those DC Transit streetcar tokens left; I used to have one on my charm bracelet; but I think I lost it...
(I think some of the tracks are still left in Georgetown.)
“(I think some of the tracks are still left in Georgetown.)”
The “Exorcist Stairs” in Georgetown end down at a car barn for one of the old DC streetcar lines. You could clearly see those stairs from the Virginia side so I wonder how many of us yelled “I know where that is!” when we saw the movie.

She was obviously a person of impeccable style. I wasn’t all that aware that I had an accent until I moved to California and I’d get asked if I was from Canada. Canadians, like Tidewaters, pronounce “out” correctly. The rest of you don’t know what you’re doing.
