i’m not sure how the influences flowed over time but at first the people actually came DOWN to st. louis and spoke something closer to what you’d hear in montreal - montreal being where wealthy people sent their children for education.
later of course the trade connections to new orleans became overwhelming - montreal was forgotten.
its been so long since ive been to pittsburgh but i sort of did the same thing. im open for suggestions.
