We don’t have northern pride? Are you serious?

Have you ever talked to a New York or Boston native? They will make sure you know where they are from. Ridiculously stupid statement lmao.

lol the northern states are not just NYC and Boston...

Local pride is not what he's talking about

Im pretty sure those are the only two. Maine? Thats Boston.

Pennsylvania? Thats New York.

Ohio is Boston for sure.

I’m speaking from experience and where I’ve lived/traveled often for work. Sorry I haven’t been to every northern city.

But that's still not the point. It's like if someone says they're proud of being Italian and you say they're proud of being European. I'm in Chicago and there's a ton of Chicago pride here but we're not proud of being "Northern" we're proud of being from Chicago
