"Seems that I'm a damn Yankee...but Southern at heart."
Nope, just Pennsylvanian. It is a great state. I never refer to Pennsylvanians as Yankees.
Remember that James Carville quote, goes something like this (not exact):
"You have Phila on one side, Pittsburgh on the other, and Alabama in between."
Thank You kind Sir or Madam.
I believe that is the first time I agree with James Car-vile.
My best to you......
My husband and I are both from Pa. and heartily agree with that comment, which we have laughed over for years. Whenever we hear a town mentioned that we don't immediately recognize, one of us will say, "Oh, that must be in the Alabama part of Pennsylvania."
