I got Northeastern. No big surprise: I'm from North Jersey, west of the Rahway River (east branch). East of the creek is where the Nu Yawk accent starts taking over; that's where I went to kindergarten and to church, so I did speak it some, and if I'm in "city mode" I'll lapse into it (heavy on the Italian of course).
What muddles my accent is having absorbed pieces of Philly-area accents, Lehigh Valley, *and* Pennsylvania Deitsch-lish from my years in PA; and a smattering of Southern from my time down in not-northern Virginia.
