Sullivan Missouri
I'd personally upper south, but others will have their own opinions.
It's in the transition zone, a blend of midwest, and the south. So I wouldn't called it the south, as also it's not fully midwestern also as being transitional. I guess the uppersouth however can have midwestern areas like northern KY that are not fully southern. Especially around covington in far northern KY.

I wouldn't really consider that portion of Northern Kentucky to be the "upper south"...I'd consider it to be a transition zone. I certainly wouldn't call Sullivan part of the upper south though. Definitely transition.

I won't deny the southern parts of Jeffco like Desoto, Hillsboro on south it does start to pickup a ozark feel and St. Louis has less of an influence than it does on northern jefferson county. But once you get into St. Francois county you feel the transition zone.
Easter MO is so odd because if you go due east into Ste Gen county the midwest feel comesback strongly, then the change is very sudden in Cape county like KSHE said.
An ozark feel isn't the same as a southern feel though. The Ozarks are both their own region and a blend of midwest and south. The southern Ozarks are a sharp contrast to the Northern Ozarks.

In the ozarks ares about 15 miles north of hwy 60 on south into arkansas seem the same to me. Not Midwestern. Table rock does not feel Midwestern.

Exactly. You can find communities all the way up to Rolla that are more southern culturally than midwestern, but it definitely isn't the rule until you are south of 60. On the money as always stlouisian.
I don't have any experience with the area, but it sure is a long way north for someone to call it southern.
Covington is further north in latitude than St. Louis and similar in latitude to Kansas City.
