We're reffered to as Delmarva (DEL-MAR-VA) down here- we don't count that third-world district that doesn't have any representation despite being US citizens. 😵‍💫
If you are over near the Chesapeake. It's funny to me that you really only hear delmarva used if you are on the east side of the route 50 bridge. If you are to the west, then it is "the DC area"

Aww man. The Tri-State area rules. I so want a pork roll, egg and cheese on a roll right now. You bacon guys have no idea what you’re missing.

They refer to Springfield, VA as "the DC area"- lol! I am from LA, and when people hear that and say "oh, I'm from LA too", and I ask where and they say "Palos Verdes"....no, that's not LA.

Springfield is right outside the Beltway. By comparison, I have to go to the Woodlawn area of Maryland tomorrow, which is just barely outside the Baltimore Beltway. And to me, it is definitely still Baltimore 😎

Of course I really don't think of/ refer to myself as being from DC, as I live just inside the beltway in NoVa. Heck, I was even born in DC, and I don't consider myself from DC.

What a wonderful and classic example of OF thread-drift. A few posts on the original topic (what original topic?), and then three pages of parallel sub-threads on sandwiches and regional place-names. 😁

Kudos to the people who expressed their thoughts on the topic, before drifting away 😁
I'm glad I helped you guys with the tri-state and nasty food discussion....😉
