It is possible my SO and I might move to the south. This could be exciting, but, I have only lived in New England. The prospect of little or no snow is awesome, but, hot summers has me concerned. Can anybody tell me what it is like? Especially culture, entertainment, pet care, dining out, medical care etc. Anything would be appreciated!! Thanks a zillion
"The South" that place where everyone's conservative and speaks slowly, where it's hot and liquor stores are closed on Sunday and everyone goes to church and we are still pissed about that 150 yr old yankee incursion so we proudly display our stars and bars; where Uncle Remus tells a young boy stories about trickster Br'er Rabbit.
Seriously, does NY=Bangor=Newhaven=Atlantic City=Philly=Rochester ?
Where are you going to move? Moultrie, GA or Miami, FL ??

He has applied for jobs (he is Air Force) so it will be either GA, VA, AL most likely but don't know for sure.
Anywhere around an Air Force base is going to be full of transplants from all over. Some southern towns are so full of transplants from other areas that you cannot even hear a southern accent.
Find out where you are going and then ask. There are subtle differences but for the most part the US is the same.
It's still the USA and people don't even speak with a southern accent there anymore. There is AC everywhere, and you will acclimate to the summer heat quickly, but complain about it anyway.
A southern lady your mother's age is still called "Miz Betty". Learn to like Grits or biscuits/gravy for breakfast, and sweet iced tea with all other meals. Cars don't have front license plates. Toyotas have American flag stickers.
Guys whose grandfathers beat up hippies to teach them not to come down here looking like that, now have long hair, beards and tattoos. If you don't have a gun, pretend you do.
