Hopeful 2011 SEC PNM from "The North"

[Low C Sharp]

I don't know anyone who would call DC southern.

I do -- people who remember when it operated under Jim Crow. There was (and still is) segregation of a different kind in Northern and Western cities, of course. But by the 1950s, legally separated black and white schools were a Southern thing. There was and still is a meaningful regional difference between DC and its closest neighbors to the north, like Philadelphia.

So, Southern compared to Mobile? Heck no. But Southern in its own way, yes.
