TNX >Norma no L (displaced Yankee in B.R., La.) Well, neither one is in New England which is how I define northeast. Buffalo, NY is 625 miles from my home in the Maine - mostly due west. Philly is a bit closer, but certainly in a mid-Atlantic state, not part of the northeast. I've never seen a national in the northeast and I've been going to nationals since the early 80's. If you define northeast as per futurity regions it includes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut......Pennsylvania doesn't qualify. No arguments though, I would love to come up that way if the judges are right!
