Considering the small size of the Northeast relative to the rest of the country, we do have a surprising number of detectable accents. Besides the obvious rosa/Boston accent(s), There's a Maine/New Hampshire accent (I was in the play Our Town, so I know), and there is a separate Vermont accent. Everyone knows the NJ accent which thank God my kids never picked up, and New Yawk/Lawn Geyeland and then there's a PA/MD accent ("on" is "awn").
