When I was a kid, around 17 I was in Job Corps in Darby, Montana . There were guys from just about every state, NY, Boston, all over the south, Texas, even Montana..Anyway I picked up on the different accents and still speak with different dialects to this day depending on the subject at hand.. The most pronounced to my ear was from Bahhstun.. Boston..they drank tarnic (tonic) instead of soda pop.. 
Quite a hoot watching new kids from Brooklyn seeing snow capped mountains for the first time in their lives..
I remember one kid telling me he never knew mountains were real. He thought they were just made up..lol  One guy thought bears were just stuffed animals.. Quite an eye opener for a lot of guys back then..

Boston is not a state!




Sorry, I couldn't resist
