The northeast corridor (Boston/New York/Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington) has a reputation, deserved or otherwise, for being frenetic, stressed, hyper, get-it-done-yesterday, angst-ridden...you get the idea.

I'm talking a nation where driving 5 mph over the limit on the interstate is considered slow, overnight delivery is the longest tolerable, and there's a constant, relentless atmosphere of more and faster.
