Do you live in the South

[Bubbleawsome]

From Texas, now in north Alabama.

Alabama here. Well, Huntsville. There are ways in which we're very much part of the Deep South along with the rest of the state and ways in which we're not really representative of the South at all.

In Bama...moved down from super liberal and tax-happy CT.

Yes, AL fits most sterotypes...but Huntsville does not. i think this city is towards the top of the list for most engineers and PhD's....or something like that.

<edit> just posted after ewdotson. Yes, there's some Deep South stuff here in Huntsville too

Yeah Madison specifically has one of the highest concentration of PhD's in the nation., also votes opposite of the rest of the state in most ways. But yeah you see some crazy stuff there too. Now going to college in Auburn and even being a college town you see some really stereotypical 'southern' stuff around, and not usually in a good way.

From Louisiana. 34 years. Last 8 years in WNC.

WNC is nice but there aren’t many engineering jobs in my field. 🙁

East TN is probably better than WNc from a tax/col aspect though.

Too good for Shreveport?

The deep south, like 5 whole miles south of lake superior.

When was the last time you caught a northern pike?

Yep, too trashy. Only good for air shows and weekend visits. 😎

Not totally sure yet. Still looking.

Regardless, unless telecommuting, a shit ton of travel. Maybe the overpasses won't catch fire....

Florida's panhandle

That's where I live.

Lake Superior is really awesome. Great memories. One of the few places I really feel the need to get back to.

Lexington, KY.
It's kind of the DMZ between North and South "Murica

Failing at keeping the carpetbaggers at bay. Just sayin'.

"The war ended 90 years ago!"

Damn the loony toons are old. 😱

Yosemite Sam must be pretty old if he supposedly got those orders from General Lee while the war was still on.

He doesn't sound very southern. "Yosemite" implies that he's from California. I think he was supposed to be a gold prospector or an outlaw.

I agree, but we got the beer. In the time I have been here, Asheville area has went from like breweries to over 40.

 

[Ichinisan]

No, Illinois is where I reside. It's about as far from the south as it gets.

Git out, yank!

 

[Ichinisan]

I'm about to move to GA, just north of Atlanta.

To fit in, I went to Walmart and bought a over-sized denim Dickies jacket.

I don't know anyone who dresses that way.

 

[Ichinisan]

no one in my family has lived further south than yankeedom or the midlands in the almost 400 years we've lived in america. i might be disowned if i moved down south.

Open invitation...

As long as you stay within 35 miles of the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico, Florida is not the South. Once you venture further toward the interior, you may as well bring your banjo and your best pig squeal voice.

I'm just south of Detroit myself

tbh when i'm getting closer to retirement, i may consider TN. it's so much warmer than where I'm at during much of the winter. and most of the family who hate the south will probably be gone.

Chattanooga is a pretty cool town imo. Just the right size, lots of outdoor activities, close enough to all sorts of things.

Florida, the only state where you have to go north to get to the South.
