Hello Kasondra,
I have noticed differences in what they call pop soda. I am originally from
Michigan in the Detroit area. Back then people sometimes said they thought I
was from Canada. I went to northern California and no one new what pop or a
party store was. In MI a party store was a store where you could get beer,
wine, etc. There in Cali a party store is one that had party supplies like
plates natkinds, etc. the local lingo is different in different areas. Just
don't call the river that runs through downtown Portland Oregon the "willa
Met" it is the "will lam Met"Willamet is the actual spelling;:)

Cindy,
When did you live in Minneapolis? I moved away from there a year a go. I
lived there for nearly a decade. I was born and raised in Sacramento,
before that. I now live in Northern Utah. What I have found to be the same
in all three places is the differences in accents. I have been accused of
being a valley girl, and then of having an almost Canadian accent. Out
here, some people think I am from here because of my willingness to use
common phrases like "Oh, my heck!" Actually, I think it's the difference in
how people refer to soft drinks that is most pronounced. In California
people call them sodas. In Minnesota, the term is pop. Out here it seems
to be a combination of both. At least wherever we are, we still love to
read books!
