Three of those are coastal states. I'll let you look on a map and see if you can figure out which ones.

DP. Some parts of PA are “culturally” coastal, but it does not, in fact, touch the Atlantic coast.

Since you want to be technical about it, The Delaware River estuary reaches up into Pennsylvania. An estuary is an arm of the sea, so Pennsylvania meets the technical definition of being a state which does in fact touch the Atlantic Coast.

Michigan borders Lake Erie which, via the Niagara River, is connected to Lake Ontario which is connected to the St. Lawrence River which leads to the Gulf of St. Lawrence which touches the Atlantic Coast. Yay, my U Mich kid is no longer a flyover loser!!

LOL! PP is working a little too hard to make PA a "coastal" state...strange.

Quite the opposite. Another PP was working really hard to make Pennsylvania NOT an East Coast state. Why was that?

Take the L, you are a clown.

Name calling always raises the level of the conversation. Wow, I’m so impressed with your ability to make your case.

Lmao this is such a lame attempt.

Lame attempt? Then, by your logic, Connecticut is not a coastal state since it’s not on the Atlantic Coast but only on an arm of the ocean. For that matter, Rhode Island, “the Ocean State”, isn’t either because it’s on Block Island Sound and not on the ocean. And Maryland qualifies only by a tiny 31 mile strip of Atlantic coast that isn’t even connected by land to the rest of the state.

Everyone knows that Pennsylvania is one of the Middle Atlantic states. It was the PP who was lame in contending that it wasn’t an East Coast state. I suppose that DC isn’t an East Coast city either.

False logic. Being on a lake which eventually empties into the ocean doesn’t put you on a part of the ocean.

The students will be nicer to your kids and less snobby.

What a stupid question. My DC from Arlington attended a small college in "flyover country" with many very intelligent friends and fabulous professors. He's now doing his PhD in a science field at a top ranked East Coast university and has stayed in touch with many peers and professors from his "flyover" days. His peers are in med school, vet school, other grad schools or working all over the country. Sure, a decent amount of them stayed in the state where the college is located but I think that is typical of most colleges.

Exactly!

My kid loves her flyover state university. “Midwest nice”, great academics, hard working people, zero pretentiousness or toxic competitiveness.

Seriously. Don't understand the type of people who take so much pride in being "coastal".

A false sense of superiority, it's the same people that feel the need to shame the "South" every chance they get. They're gross.

Lmao this is such a lame attempt. Reminds me of the time a friend of mine, who’s a Philly native, was shocked to discover that her city was smaller than Chicago, and much less globally renowned to boot. Shook her to her core. I think she had an identity crisis not long after.
