Coming from New York City, I find the geographical divisions quite different 
from the several versions that I have seen on the net.
Here is a break-up of the world to a New Yorker:
	Bronx                     
 	Brooklyn
	Manhattan		==> The City
	Queens
	Staten Island
        -------------------
        Long Island
	Upstate (any part of New York State not mentioned above)
	New Jersey
	New England
	The South (anything on the eastern seaboard south of New Jersey, 
including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, The Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Mexico)
	The North (Canada)
	The West (Any state not mentioned)
	The Third World( England, France, Russia, and basically anyplace else)


A friend of mine once flew in from Chicago to La Guardia airport where he took
a taxi to his hotel. The taxi driver, upon striking up a conversation with him,
and finding out that he was from the windy city, quickly blurted out, "My 
brother in law is from San Francisco, you should know him!"
