Long Island, which is a suburb of NYC (which is to say, really, a suburb of Manhattan).

Then again, the entire US is a suburb of NYC.

Flyover.

[sienamystic.livejournal.com]

Was Washington DC until recently, now I guess I'm part of the great flyover nation.

I live in San Jose, which is not part of San Francisco, despite being near it. (And I remember when the World Cup was at Stanford, and was billed as the "San Francisco World Cup.")

You could have simplified your poll by having "California" and "NotCalifornia" as the options.

SF Bay Area is close enough. I don't live in The City either (Lafayette, actually), but Lala is near enough for outsiders.

Santa Cruz, not even actually in the San Francisco Bay Area, though sometimes people seem to include it in "South Bay," which doesn't make sense as we are actually on the _north_ side of the Monterey Bay. Also, mapmakers can't make up their minds as to whether we are in Nrthern r Southern California.

Texas, which is neither part of The South nor part of The West, but an entity of its own.

[kd5mdk.livejournal.com]

This.

[mme-hardy.livejournal.com]

San Francisco-ish.

Flyover.

Connecticut (in the outermost fringe of the NY metro area)

(At various former times, Staten Island, New Hampshire, and Iowa)

You're such a kidder, James. Leaving out "Flyover Country" and "Texas" like that.

Plus, no cats. I complain about your poll.

Buffalo, NY, where our motto is "We're doing much better than Detroit!"

[kjn]

Isn't that comparable to being more alive than Generalissimo Franco?

[kuangning]

Clayton, North Carolina.

Really? I even get out there occasionally! (Durham, NC, here, but I work in Raleigh) *waves hi*

[kaffy_r]

Chicago, city of broad shoulders, gorgeous skyline, scruffy politics, big problems, lively theater, incredible food, and eccentrically bad (and occasionally awesome) sports teams.

[beamjockey.livejournal.com]

Hog butchers.

And, along its fringes, beam jockeys.

The great unwashed middle!

Though I've spent most of my life in places that, according to your poll, actually exist.

[von-krag.livejournal.com]

The Upper Midwest, Minneapolis yah betcha!

[jennlk]

Rust Belt

[joycemocha.livejournal.com]

Pacific Northwet.

[scott-sanford.livejournal.com]

Hooray for the North American rainforest!

[eyelessgame.livejournal.com]

Burbs of Sacramento, Kadeephonia.

[felila.livejournal.com]

Hawai'i.

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

Texas (God help me)

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

Note: I'm lying. But Brooklyn is nice this time of year.

[nelc.livejournal.com]

Airstrip One.

[wild-patience.livejournal.com]

Sunnyvale, CA. I sometimes get mail addressed to Sunnydale. No, we're the other town with a hell mouth. (2 cities south of Stanford, snugged up to Cupertino, home of Apple)

[cat-collector.livejournal.com]

Southern Louisiana, which is occasionally part of the South and occasionally another country altogether and quite often not connected to the northern part of the state.

[chomiji]

I put Wash DC, but actually, I'm in Maryland. Still, "Inside the Beltway" = "Washington" for most of the nation.
