Ah-Ha! I knew I detected a slight accent when we met Sandy.

What a coincidence too!
I had my seats covered at a place in Ravenna.

I don't need to make a list, both my parents and my six brothers and sisters were born in Cleveland, Ohio.
I look just like them but still claim to be adopted and was born on the planet Krypton.

Yea, yea I do have a little "twang" I've been told! I lived and worked in Ravenna a good many years! My daughter was born there too.

I have cousins that are from Clarksburg and had a blast when I spent some time there one summer. For a state that was "Northern" in the civil war there sure are a lot of southern accents. Met this girl while I was there and loved her accent. "Mama, Kinny and ah, are goin to wack the daoug") English translation - "Mama, Kenny and I are going to walk the dog"

My twang isn't quite that twangy!! LOL! I work with a guy from Houston and I love his accent!!!

Akron is the capital of West Virginia and Ravenna is really close.

I don't understand anybody in Streetsyltucky, a few miles south and it's like going 500 miles south. I like all the pick up trucks with gun racks and old guys on little girls bicycles going down route 91 carrying six packs from the mini-mart in brown paper bags. Why waste good beer money on gas or their licenses are suspended?, a question for the ages.


I thought yours sounded a little like a Texas accent Sandy, how long have you worked with that guy?
