Several times someone would remark to me "My, you've got a drawl. Are you from the South?" I spoke at that time what I would refer to as "Midwest Urban" as distinguished from Midwest Rural. I grew up in Rolla which is 100 miles southwest of St. Louis. I would reply, "No, I'm from Missouri." "Oh, yes, that's the South" was the usual response! I think the East Coast dwellers think that you can stand in Missouri and throw rocks into California.
