North East? South? Midwest? Something else?

Pretty close. It’s about in the middle, but to the east of the center of the country. Culturally though it is part of “the south”.

I was with you until the last sentence.

Well, welcome to eastern Kentucky. I went to visit her and we went to church in a pastor’s living room and she explained that was what happened. A group of 15-20 people split off from the main church in town because the main church had started doing speaking in tongues and snake handling, which is considered legitimate among some Christians.

Not even, they fought for the Union!

Still Southern.

Kentucky is definitely considered to be Southern these days, though.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kentuckians don't consider themselves that way. Geologically and economically they have little in common with the South.

That wasn’t my experience there, but okay. It is situated in a unique location that’s sort of Midwest, east coast and southern at the same time.

I looked up discussions about this and found this one. Opinions vary from “absolutely yes” to “sort of” to “definitely not”, so it’s up to you.
