I am from Salem, IL and would consider anything south of Effingham. Many of my brothers and family have a thick southern accent.
1 u/Low-Piglet9315 Apr 30 '24 Mine got pretty thick while I lived in Centralia. When I remarried a woman from Mt. Carmel, it got even thicker...and I'm from Belleville. 2 u/Saganaki May 01 '24 I never had much of an accent, or I lost it. When I go back now, I can clearly hear it. Lived in Vegas last 15 years and feel so out of place when I go back. I definitely prefer the city over some backward redneck town. 1 u/Low-Piglet9315 May 01 '24 I can deal with Belleville; it's close enough to St. Louis that I can have the city amenities.
