"are you from Arkansas?"

No. My mama was from rural Virginia and my daddy from southern Kentucky. I do have some family in northwest Arkansas. I also have family in Tennessee and North Carolina.

I've never lived in the South...visited many states though (not Arkansas...and Slick ruined that visit already!).

I've lived East, West...overseas...

The most friendly and warm region of the US...IMHO is the Midwest, especially Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
