Nope, I'm a Boston native. I did live in Florida briefly in my early 20s but I don't think it impacted my accent much or anything. On the other hand I do think spending five years in Chicago changed my accent to certain extent. Philly, not so much. I was 29 when I first moved here so I think my way of speaking was fairly fixed at that point.
