Now I want a breakdown of how people in an area refer to locations near them such as using counties or cities.

Here in western North Carolina we use counties but my friends in eastern NC don’t. I figure it’s because a lot of towns out here are too small to even be towns most of the time.

When I went to school in West Virginia the locals also used counties there when referring to where they’re from.

I know using counties is popular in California and looking at the map I can kinda see why since they’re huge.
