I don't know about that, that's weird logic to me. Atlanta is barely Appalachia, at best it's at the very terminus in the south. Pittsburgh is much more a part of Appalachia to me, though honestly I'd say both those cities have their own unique culture that's perhaps related or influenced by Appalachia (yinzers are kinda Appalachia). I guess somewhere around Roanoke would probably be the true geographic middle, but eh. Close enough.
- gffyfnhdv 7y agoI agree Pittsburgh is more Appalachia than ATL; it’s Appalachia proper. But Atlanta is really close. at the “Piedmont” of the if you will ;)
