You keep complaining that #3 replies to you or comments to you in response to your posts to others. Well, I did a little scroll of the first page of posts. Seems your first post to me (#52) was in response to something I said to someone else. Looks like your doing what your complaining about.
And so you know, I love living in NC. Have no intentions of nor any interest in moving. Sure there are things here I bitch about and would like to change. But every resident of every town in America can say that with honesty. I don't bitch about them and want to change them because I am a yankee. I do it because i think the changes I would suggest would be an improvement. And none of them are to make things like they are "up north."
I have just sat here for a rather lengthy time trying to think of something from "up north" that I grew up with that I wish I had here. Here is what I came up with...
1) NY Pizza (though food is a regional thing and is different everywhere)
2) My wife's grandfathers bagels. He has been a bagel baker for over 50 years at the same bakery. I could get them, but I don't think they would be too good after being shipped to me.
3) Salmon fishing. (Damn things just refuse to live here! Though your probably happy about that. Don't want those "Yankee Fish" living here.)
4) The "regional beer" that I grew up on in NY is either not available or is so damn expensive compared to back in NY that I refuse to buy it. Take Gennesse beer for example. $9.99 a 30 pack where I grew up. Here, $7.99 a six pack! I just have family members load up on it for me when they visit. Problem solved. Others just arent available. But then there are wonderful local beers here not available up there.
5) I miss Spiedies. They are a food product only available in the region around Binghamton NY. But i just make my own now. Problem solved.
That's about all I can come up with that I wish i had from the north and it took me about 15 mintues! Sure there are other things, but they are little local things like certain restaurants and bars, stores, places of interest. But if you move from one town to another within a state your are gonna lose those.
So what does this yankee want to change about where I live in the south that is so horrible that I should be deported back to where I came from?
This is a discussion forum and posts beget comments. A lot of the Southerners on this thread think that they're better than everyone else in the nation because they're friendlier, just pointing out their hypocrisy.
There you go again, jumping on someone else's post.

Charlie wasn't talking to you....as if that mattered to you.
No, it doesn't matter to me. This is a discussion forum.
I wasn't talking to you either when you showed up with your anti-Southern bias comments.
In response to 50 of yours and your friends.
