I'd never really considered this. Grew up in the south-eastern US, with one side of the family from the Northern Neck of Virginia.
Accent was definitely Baltimore, but I never had an issue.
The Chesapeake Bay definitely has a lot of interesting accents on various sides, though: http://aschmann.net/AmEng/#SmallMapCanada
