Princeton, NJ is Mason-Dixon line for Phillies v Yankee fans--resident

• Princeton is also a dividing line for radio listeners. If you're a NY radio listener you find many stations turning to static there. Whenever I've been in the Princeton area, I've ended up listening to Philadelphia stations. (framus)

• More on geography: Longtime residents of the outlying Princeton area tell me Yardville, New Jersey is the most precise demarcation for Philadelphia v New York identity. Yardville seen on above map, red dot to the right of blue 195 sign, southeast of Trenton and directly south of Princeton. I've been in the area many times and have noted the change in accents, that is they speak with a South Jersey accent which is similar to a Philadelphia accent.
