I have a bit of trouble understanding the Eastern US the farther north too.
A Canadian moved in near me recently. She had a Canadian flag on her porch so I developed expectations. But she basically sounds like me when I'm making an effort to speak clearly. Occasionally she has a word with a different sound and I think - there it is! Lol. I was overall very disappointed.
I had a friend who lived in Ohio. Her accent was thick. I didn't know they sounded like that, there, until I met her.

Apparently our North American voices are becoming more standardized. It's a shame. Hopefully those Ohioians will carry on the torch.
I can imagine a person from Ohio yelling at me in a thick accent about how "Ohioian" isn't the correct term...
