Where are you from, and what kind of socks do you wear?

Situation: going to play ball at the park, to the gym etc.

I dont travel much, I get out to vegas, atlanta, and florida once in awhile, but one thing Ive noticed is the difference in the type of socks worn by people from around the country. Here in st. louis, NO ONE wears anything but ankle socks, in the south you see longer socks, wtf is with this? What do northeasterners wear?
