“Buddy of mine was from RI and had left there at twenty. At fifty he still had that thick accent.”
That’s cool.
I grew up in Boston, had a wicked accent, moved to Wisconsin, lost it, completely. No one could understand me.
Now I’m back in MA and I camp in RI in the summah, and sometimes have trouble understanding the locals. lol
But do you have a WI/Minnesota accent?
Those are pretty distinct too.
