Is Maryland in the South? The only people who think that's true are people who've never actually been to the South. What kind of tea do they serve when you order Iced Tea? If the answer is unsweetened and you're not in New Orleans, then you're not in the south.

As someone who spent six years living in Maryland, I have to agree! Even Virginia (at least Northern Virginia) isn't really the South anymore.
