i could see them using a phrase like "back east" or something, but "coast"? really?
that'd be like someone from new york calling denver "west coast".
yes, because of the erie canal.
however, no one in history has ever considered NYC a "great lakes city" in the mold of toronto, chicago, cleveland, etc.
all i was trying to say is that the automatic state inclusion thing is dumb.

People knowing full well im from Chicago would sometimes introduce me to other people and say 'hes from the east coast' or say stuff like 'you guys got good Mexican food on the east coast?' Strange indeed
