They're south of the Mason Dixon Line because they were slave states before the civil war (when the Mason Dixon line was made), but they sided with the Union against the Confederacy in the civil war and didn't go through reconstruction like the south did. Today Maryland and Delaware are generally considered where the Northeast starts culturally, while there are still some rural parts that are culturally southern. Northern Delaware is basically the Philly suburbs and Baltimore very much feels like a northern city.

The Maryland accent itself is almost like a bizarre hybrid of the southern and Pennsylvania accents.

 

it basically is wv down there imo anyway

 

I’m sorry for calling western PA Midwest ok can we move on lol

8/10

 

Two more Pittsburgh-related things of note (and one food-related to get us back on track):

Pittsburgh is notable for George Romero, who filmed Night of the Living Dead nearby and the best zombie film of all-time, Dawn of the Dead, which you can watch right now on Youtube for free, at the Monroeville Mall.

The other thing is pierogis, which whip ass and you should absolutely look into making some if they're not available with you. I prefer sautéing mine in a little bit of butter with onions, maybe even a little hot sauce depending on what's in them.

Also, the Juneberry Red Bull is good.

 

top tier vegetable.

They all have their own qualities, but Pittsburgh definitely has some midwest vibes. Doesn't feel like Philly at all.

Hosting is better than going somewhere else imo

On this day 20 years ago, some 40 guests watch as the pop star and actress Jennifer Lopez weds her third husband, the singer Marc Anthony, in an intimate ceremony held in the backyard of Lopez’s home in Los Angeles.

Lopez was born in 1970 in the Bronx, New York, and went on to earn admiration in Hollywood as a “triple threat.” She originally worked as a dancer (most famously as a “Fly Girl” in the popular television series In Living Color), but soon earned notice as an actor for her portrayal of the murdered Tejana pop singer Selena in a 1997 biopic. She developed a reputation as a bankable film star after her role as federal marshal Karen Sisco in Steven Soderbergh’s Out of Sight in 1998, and released her debut Latin pop album in June 1999. Two years later, her album J.Lo debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts just as her romantic comedy The Wedding Planner shot to the top spot at the box office in the first week of its release.

Prior to her marriage to Anthony, Lopez had previously been married to Ojani Noa from February 1997 to January 1998 and to Cris Judd, a dancer who appeared in the video for her hit song “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” from September 2001 to January 2003. Lopez also had a long-term romance with the rapper and entertainment mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs, and was famously on the scene during the shooting involving his entourage at a New York City nightclub in December 1999. By the time her divorce from Judd was official, Lopez had already announced her engagement to the actor Ben Affleck. Their highly publicized romance–which included a co-starring appearance in the notorious bomb Gigli (2003)–officially ended in early 2004, and Affleck later sold the 6.1 carat, $1.2 million diamond engagement ring he had bought Lopez back to its original seller, Harry Winston.

Six months later, Lopez married Anthony, whose divorce from his wife of four years, the former Miss Universe Dayonara Torres, had been finalized less than a week earlier. Lopez and Anthony, who were both born in New York City, of Puerto Rican descent, first dated in 1999, after her marriage to Noa ended. Anthony and Torres married in 2000, then split for good in late 2003, around the time that Lopez called off her engagement to Affleck.

Appearing on NBC’s Today shortly after their wedding, Anthony refused to confirm that he and Lopez were married, telling the show’s anchorman, Matt Lauer: “I have nothing to say about anything. My life is my life, that’s the only thing I have.” Lopez finally confirmed the marriage publicly in February 2005. The couple’s professional collaborations included Lopez’s first full-length Spanish-language album, Como Ama una Mujer (2007), which Anthony co-produced; and the feature film El Cantante (2007), starring Anthony as the Puerto Rican salsa singer Hector Lavoe and Lopez (who also produced the film) as his wife.

Lopez and Anthony divorced in 2012.

I have a tombstone in my freezer right now. Can't wait to inhale it this weekend.

That's not Ahmad Jamal.

They are definitely the south. Virginia is where things really change though.

 

I just read online that apparently steak tips are just a New England thing? What? Is that true? Haha

 

We had steak tips at our Wedding and I hate New England. You better check your sources Ryan.

 

Haha just a bunch of redditors in the NH subreddit saying that they've been to several states that don't have them on pub menus

 

I know what they are essentially, but can't say I've ever seen them on a menu.

 

Like, what would people put on their kebabs at cookouts if not steak tips?!

 

Yeah im not sure either. We did a mashed potato bar and just had the beef tips as one of the condiments.

 

chicken and veggies is my go to

 

That's my kinda wedding haha

 

It was pretty cool. They were served in martini glasses and we had the entire table filled with all the sides you could ask for.

 

I feel like the only thing every pub has is cheeseburgers haha, like some are British some are hipster nonsense some are basically Applebee's

 

We got steak tips here.

 

What is a steak tip?

 

These are so much better than quest protein chips which I also like but these are like light and airy and it feels like there's more in the bag even tho there prob isn't and they're just puffier so it looks like more. But they are delicious
