Is it more of a mAR-k, or more of a mAH-k? Mark = Hark or Mark = Mack?

It's a two-syllable word for me.  First consonant is higher sounding/front of mouth and then it drops for the second half.  Sounds the closest to mah-k?

*edit* top!  And I kinda pronounce it mah-kuh

what are alternative pronunciations for mark?

mark, rhymes with arc, or hark, or lark, shark

Lady at work would say ahc, hahk, lahk, shahk (shack).

Miami has never been "the south"

To be fair, New Orleans is south, but not really "deep south" even though it's surrounded by it

Can confirm "you guys" is ubiquitous here.

Are you a rhotic or non-rhotic speaker? i.e. do you usaully pronounce "R"

Depends where it is in the word.  Anything to the end of a word usually gets dropped, but then again I feel like I need a list of words with "R" in it so I can test.  Plus I'd need to shake off work accent so it's correct.

It reads like you are naturally a non-rhotic speaker.

Also, I've discovered that Ohio has 5 seasons:

1. Summer: July - September
   
2. Fall: October - November
   
3. Winter: December - February (there's also typically two weeks of Super Winter sometime in December or January)
   
4. Sprinter: March - April (can't decide whether it wants to be Spring or Winter, lots of rain and snow)
   
5. The Rainy Season: May - June (pretty much non-stop rain)

Probably a bit fewer and 'ing' is right out
