I live closer to the neighbour town than "my" town.
I live closer to West Virginia than Pittsburgh, but I'm still considered "metropolitan city area" 
Is it the funny accent? 
Well, I was born in West Virgnina so I do admit that while I've tried to "flatten" my voice as much as possible, the twang sneaks up on me sometimes. 'specially when drunk

The people where I live now

Some have a pittsburgh accent some have more of a southern accent. And then there is that generic ghetto accent

ugh.
