6 years in Nashville (born there, so Southern by birth), 3 in Charlotte, 9 in Florida and I’m moving back to Nashville in a month(ish).
Born and raised in Nashville. I just this past year did the unthinkable and moved more than 50 miles away, further south, to Fayetteville TN.
Another central Arkansan here. Grew up somewhere in the nether region between Russellville and Conway.
Like Bambi, I’m from Central Florida as well. I have spent 31 of my 34 years in Hillsborough County (yes, where the horny teachers are from). I had to go East (I went to Florida Southern College in Lakeland) to really pick up a Southern Accent.
I’m a recovering Hoosier, now living in a bunker in The Great Dismal Swamp of NE North Carolina.
Sounds like a Dopefest to me. Sometime soon while it’s warm but not too damned hot. Come to think of it, we might have already missed it.
I am a Marylander. My family are of the Southern variety. Others from the Free State are not.
Not a native Atlantan (they still exist?), but have been living here for the better part of 20 years.
I’ve never lived anywhere but Kentucky and while it’s on the north end of the South, it’s still Southern.
I was just listening to myself on a tape-recording and could not BELIEVE how much I drawl. I think it’s gotten worse since I married my husband, a native of Shreveport, La. When we visit his family (now in North Carolina), I practically come home dripping in Spanish moss. 
Born and raised in Texas, Georgia and Florida. Spent several years outside (Alaska and Colorado) but keep finding myself back in the south, currently Texas Gulf Coast.

I grew up in New Orleans.
4th generation native Floridian here (Polk and Hardee counties.)
I live in the South now, but am originally from South Africa and have only been here a few years, so I don’t think I count. I did marry into a Southern family, so I am sure that I will eventually be assimilated.
Native South Carolinian. The rivers referenced in my user name are mainly the Chattooga and the Nantahala.
It’s just a shame I haven’t actually been on them in years now.

I’m in Alabama. I grew up in Phenix City, then spent a few years in Tuscaloosa before moving to Huntsville.
This is so true (regarding Louisiana accents). My sister has lived in NO for, gosh, fifteen years now I guess. She sounds like a native now. Heh. When she gets on the phone with me her accent slips back, though, and her hubby teases that she sounds like a cracker. Hee.
Another Birmingham, AL resident checking in. I grew up on the west side of town (Midfield) but now live on the east side (Trussville).
I’m a Bama girl all my life. Grew up mostly in Etowah county, went to college at Jacksonville State (go Gamecocks!), and now live in Irondale.
I live just outside Center, Georgia, and spent the weekend in the North Carolina mountains. Although I began life in Ontario, the heat and beer in the Georgia summertime tends to facilitate rapid assimilation, knowhaddahmean?
I grew up in Cleveland but have lived in the South now for 20 years - first VA, now NC. We plan on staying.
