__________________________People in the South are the nicest friendliest people I've ever met. They go out of their way to talk to you. What I hear all the time is "where y'all from?" and then a 10 minute conversation about kids and family and stuff. That's as opposed to the Northeast where I grew up where people of all races are not friendly AT ALL.
I wish you would keep low about this.
The South's terrible reputation has been its greatest blessing. AssHoles from New York and New Jersey have been staying away in droves for over half a century.
I know what you mean. Seattle had this terrible reputation for it raining all of the time. Not true at all. It spared us many idiots that would have otherwise helped over populate our city.
