[Mad Dawgg]

I know yit used to be up North in the Cleveland Area if you asked those people what State they lived in they would reply: "O-hi-o"

Down where I live its "O-hi-ah"

I grew up saying “Up north” when speaking of northern Michigan and was shocked to find my neighbors saying I came from “Downstate” when I lived up there for a while.
