regional accent meme

though I've lived in Wisconsin all my life, this answer doesn't surprise me, since my parents were both from eastern Indiana.

Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

Now wait a minute. Those cities sound like they don't have regional accents, but they do indeed. There's just a lot of yankees living there that make it seem that way.

I was raised during my "formative years" (middle school) in Atlanta.. and I don't have much of an accent at all, despite living most of my life in the south. I wonder if that is why?
