Impressive, if you like that sort of thing.

That's the second one. Am I the only one that finds it odd that someone wouldn't be interested in museums, theaters, concerts, or restaurants? Nobody's telling you to live there. Hell, I wouldn't want to live there either. But to consider all that New York has to offer to be totally worthless and not worth visiting just baffles me. By my way of thinking New York is second only to my own home town of Chicago in interesting things to do.

Maybe what they say is true? The difference between yogurt and the South is that yogurt has a living culture.

How many restaurants do you need? It’s not as if New York is the sole repository of culture in the world....

“But to consider all that New York has to offer to be totally worthless and not worth visiting just baffles me.”

I have visited it. I just wouldn’t want to live there. Not that there would be work in my field, either.

“The difference between yogurt and the South is that yogurt has a living culture.”

We prefer our culture to one based on having 14,000 restaurants. The "culture" of NYC is not American and hasn't been for a long time.

See, theres what we mean when we say southerners have more class than northerners. What a silly thing to say. We are just different. You enjoy you’re bustling city, I enjoy my peace and quiet. To be honest with you, I have lived in Chicago and the people are just so different from the people here. always in a hurry and so rude. Chicago didn’t impress me at all. The air stunk. I just couldn’t hardly bear it. I couldn’t wait to get back to my beloved Dixie. New York, to me, would be Chicago multiplied about 20 times. More of the same. Keep your cities. Just give me a soft southern breeze. But if you want culture, ever heard of Atlanta, or Memphis? Even New Orleans has alot of things to do. And if you ever wanted to get down in the gutter with us commom folk and actually listen to some really good music, we have Nashville, Tn. And we have Dolly Parton. Now thats no chump change. By the way, Ashville, NC, has the biggest house in the world. Its called Biltmore. So, you’ll come see us sometime.
