Does that include those of us who live in the east?

By the way, the colloquialism "back east" is interesting.  I have a
cousin in California who refers to the East as "back east"--but both he
and his parents were born and raised on the west coast, so it certainly
isn't "back home" for any of them.  Try saying "out east" and "back
west" and notice how strange it sounds.
