“From the time I spent in Roselle, Bradley Beach and Metedeconk, I found the New Jersey accent to be the ugliest in the nation.”
Spent many nights at Columns.
I been in Texas 10 years now and I still speak Brooklyn.
I was raised in Texas. When in the Navy, I was stationed with guys from the Northeast, naturally picking up their accents over time. When I’d go home on leave my folks would tell me I talked like a Yankee. But when I went to the northeast, people would say, “You’re from the South, aren’t you?”
The last I heard, I have the accent of someone from San Francisco, whatever THAT sounds like.
