American Regional Identities

Since I moved away from St.Louis for college I have occasionally been asked what is the vibe of St.Louis? People would ask me to describe the music scene or how people dress and I often had trouble providing a definitive answer. Growing up I never got the feeling that everyone in St.Louis was on the same page.  Since I left home my original belief has been solidified. Being that the Lehigh Valley is the 3rd largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania I would like to explore the identity of the Lehigh Valley if any.

In my documentary I will explore the idea that population centers have unique cultures; specifically, food, fashion, and music. Additionally I will attempt to determine if the Lehigh Valley fits within the group of population centers with their own distinct identity.
