I know a fellow from Calif. who previously lived in New England...so he knows both coasts well.
His job took him to the Carolina's and other southern states and he was floored the difference in how people were and the entire business climate. He fell in love with the South....now making plans to move there.
There is just nothing like Southern hospitality to ALL, until one of that ALL thinks he can bamboozle a southerner.
At which point a southerner will simply say "Well, bless your heart". rofl, (the north don't know what that really means when they are told that, so shussssssh)
