Exactly. I live in the NE, but I tell people "the Bustleton section" or I just say Welsh & Bustelton. But I think that it's crazy what people think the NE is. I've heard reporters say they're reporting from the Bridesburg section of the NE a few times. Am I wrong or is that considered the NE for real?
