OMG I was wondering this same thing today. I'm from Long Island, but I go to school in CT and know some PA people. I used to think of Philly whenever PA came to mind, but the PA people I know sound have that "country drawl" Like everybody's been saying, everywhere has its "hick" areas. As an NYC/LI girl, I thought that upstate NY was the hick area because there are mountains and farmland up there. However, people think Long Island people are hicks, as in ignorant and dumb (as quite a few are unfortunately). There is a "Hicksville" in Long Island.
