It gave me Lexington, Louisville, and Little Rock. The darkest area (by far) was Lexington.

I'm from Fort Smith, Arkansas, but I have also lived in Bossier City, La and Nixa, Mo. I guess I'd call it a near miss since it did have Little Rock, but Kentucky was much darker.

It saya Richmond (closest), Louisville (okay, I grew up in Ohio) and Montgomery (well, I was born in Pensacola and lived there for 10 years).

So, I'm a hodge podge (or does hodge podge put me in another location?).

Brew thru - Richmond
Service road - Montgomery
Yard sale - Louisville

Accurate.

Gave me Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Columbus, GA. Pretty much spot on. Pretty cool little thing.

Mobile, Montgomery, Columbus, Ga

Grew up in Mobile, so I'd say it's accurate. Though, I'm picking up some Louisiana words now after being here for a decade. Pretty good.

Apparently not having a name for a drive-thru liquor store is a dead give-away that you're from Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisiana. After that it'll only take a couple more questions to figure out which one you are.

What do other people call those other than a liquor store with a drive-thru?

I am from North Alabama but I am told my accent is heavier than most so this makes sense.

Birmingham, Jackson, and Montgomery.
