I met Sandy on Fifth Avenue South. She lives in Naples most of the year, but goes north for three months in the summer to the South Shore of Massachusetts.
We grew up a few towns apart on the North Shore. We laughed about Boston accents. She still has hers. I caught so much grief for mine when I was a college freshman that I lost it in about a month. Today I sound more like NBC news anchors, since it was their accents I emulated.
Interesting that the "News Anchor" accent is Midwestern English. Lovely photo today, Jack. Both Sandy and the mural behind here are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see regional accents disappearing.....
