I feel like it's more chain filled than places like New England, but I think it's less chain saturated than most places I've been in the South and Midwest.

I grew up in New England, lived here for 12 years, and travel across the country for work. I agree with your statement!

This is a good summary! I’m originally from Hampton Roads VA area and it is like chain central down there. The ratio of chain vs independent is WAY skewed as compared to the Pittsburgh/Allegheny Cty area.

Yeah, I've been down there a few times and I definitely remember it being pretty chain heavy.
