  There are several geographic regions in the US which overlap.
  
  Rust belt, Midwest, Deep South, plains, Pacific Northwest, etc.
  
  When I lived in Virginia I told someone I was from the intermountain west and they said I made it up. Anyone else have a more localized region many may not be aware of?
  
  I was thinking about this because I am biased to the left 1/3 of the US and loved the PAC, MWC, and WAC. My heart isn’t in the Big. Yes I realize the MWC had TCU.

  I kinda view the mountain states as one big related geography, even though there are sub regions within. Usually when im chatting with my Euro colleagues, I say the mountain states in the western US or something.
