When I lived in North Carolina I told someone I was moving
to Oregon, and he asked me if that was near Kansas.

		I said yes.

Definitive Geography of the Contiguous United States -

East - New York to DC, plus Florida
New England - anything northeast of NY
The South - south of Mason Dixon, west to Texas, except Florida.
Deep South - any rural area in The South
Midwest - west of the Appalachians to the Great Plains
Great Lakes - Michigan, Wisconsin
Great Plains - Dakotas south to the Texas Panhandle
Southwest - Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
The Coast - California
Northwest - Oregon & Washington west of the cascades
Rockies - from the Cascades/Sierra Nevada east to the Great Plains

Each of these areas has a capital -

East - New York City
New England - Boston
The South - Atlanta (alternate - Leroy)
Deep South - Macon County
Midwest - Chicago
Great Lakes - Motown
Great Plains - St Louis
Southwest - Dallas
The Coast - LA (sometimes, LA *is* The Coast)
Northwest - Seattle
Rockies - Denver

If you work for a phone company, replace all these with the
time zones - eastern, central, mountain, pacific.

Also, if you live in Los Angeles, The Coast is NYC,
California is Southern California, and San Francisco is
part of the Northwest.
