[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 599120, member: 16184"] I've lived in Georgia and Alabama most of my life. I never met a veggie that wouldn't grow in the south. As for the politeness factor it's hit or miss I think. Southern people used to be very mannerly a lot of hospitality warm southern voices, there used to be a marked difference when traveling from a northern place to a southern place. Doors being held open for a stranger, saying hello, smiling. Now adays not so marked a difference at least in the bigger cities of the south just my opinion. I like sumac and I like dilapidated barns that have probably been there for a 100 years and are being taken over by the earth. I don't like cookie cutter towns, I LOVE old houses that have a porch and a 100 year old tree in the front yard, the south every part I've been in has those things. Spring and summer blend together and winter just doesn't last too long. People go crazy when it snows cause it doesn't happen too often. NC is a bit different it does get very cold there. I like humidity it does horrible things to my hair but I love it. I like walking outside at 9pm and its still 80 degrees and I love fire flies. Gas is cheaper then a lot of places up north but I wouldn't call it cheap. [/QUOTE]
