sorry, my english is still not perfect, and i meant to out only one.
DZWK, it's not really the states that vary in accents, it's regions. For instance, people in Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire have accents closer to Boston's than the people in western Massachusetts, who sound like people in upstate New York, who sound nothing like people in New York City.
But to answer your question, I'd have to say the most distinguishable accents in the north are in Boston, New York City, Chicago, and North Dakota (the latter only because I saw the movie "Fargo"). The widest varieties of accents in the United States are in the eastern half of the country plus Texas (and parts California have their own way of speaking). The farther west you go, the more homogenized they get. There's not much of a difference between the way people talk in Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Washington. Thanks for being curious. It's an interestng topic.
I got the impression the the Jersey accent is similar to new york city but different.
