We don’t use the term ‘tri-state’. We don’t use any term. There aren’t enough states for it to be a common thing.

There could be sufficient people in the Renmark area near the South Australian, Victorian, New South Wales border point to justify it, although as you say, it’s not in use.

If, however, you were to leave Sydney and drive hard for a day and a half or so, you’d get to a place called Cameron Corner, which is where New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia meet.
There’s um… not much there.

Hey, Cameron Corner is a bustling metropolis compared to Poepell’s Corner.
We have lots of corners in Australia. Only because there isn’t anything else.

I used to work in the previously mentioned Ark-La-Tex, but currently reside in Cal-Neva-Ha. The former was commonly used, the latter less so, but I’ve been in two completely unrelated national organizations with “Cal-Neva-Ha” regions.

I guess I’m confused - is Ha HI?
[QUOTE=Manatee]
There are other states? (Said the native Californian).

So funny.
We native NYers are *aware * of the other states. (aren’t these the places many of the current NYers escaped from?)
Where I grew up the tri-state area as defind by the local news was NY, NJ and Conn. Now I live in a house from which I can see the hills of Pennsylvania across the Delaware…and I still think of the tri-state area as NY, NJ and Conn. I still watch the NY news instead of the “local” Philly channels. Who wants to hear about the Eagles for 15 minutes out of a half hour newscast?
