“The problem with people leaving those hell holes is they arrive and decide to “upgrade” the area to resemble what they had back there.”
The yankees drive to FL every winter and stop in NC for gas as it is about the halfway mark. Many decide to just stay and send for their things. Then they make a point of getting involved in the local government to tell us how stupid we are, how uneducated we are and what rednecks we are but no worries, they will bring their NY and NJ ideas of civilization to ‘learn us right’.
Of course this is after we have to endure them complaining that they can’t find a good ‘haaaaaaaaahhhhhdddd roll’ anywhere. Ummm....I-77 does run two ways. Pick one and leave.
Yup, you got it: “we need to learn you right” We have one lib from Ohio in my service club who was berating the local Police Chief over gun control. His comment was do you not hear what is going on in the country about gun control and if not, you better listen. Chief looked at him and said violence is not a one trick pony except in parts of the country where they never seen a pony.
On a related subject, I pointed out to my wife one time about why NYC drivers were especially bad: they are used to getting into a steel tube that travels on tracks and they don’t have to steer.

LOL, sounds like it was a Masshole liberal you encountered.
I live in beautiful East Tennessee, and can relate to your story. Once, late at night, a young couple pulled up beside me at a gas pump. They had New York plates. As they filled up their car, the man looked at me and said ‘Wheeaa are we?’. I replied Knoxville. ‘Wheeaa is dat?’. Tennessee I replied. He looked confused....’How far to Flaaaridaaa?’ he asked. I then realized that he likely only visualized New York, Florida, and California in his little reptilian brain. All the rest was just a swirling mist that you have to drive through or fly over.
