thats true. i can think of a handful of films that were filmed in north louisiana. off the top of my head harold and kumar 2, roscoe jenkins, and the fog (which actually took place in new england lol)

That seems to imply that northern states are fashionable. They really are not at all. People are quite practical and wear sports sweatshirts and such...dress way down. At least if we're talking about Milwaukee, St. Louis, etc.

The only places I know where people dress well would be Californian cities, New York City, Miami, and I think that is about it. So it wouldn't be hard for any city to try to dress more than K-Mart attire, and gain a top spot in American dressing abilities.

Milwaukee and St. Louis are not northern cities, they are in the Midwest.

I think Tiger Beer is speaking vis-a-vis Southern cities in which case Milwaukee is certainly Northern.

It's north of Houston but it is in no way "northern" like NYC, Boston, Philly, etc.

Since when are these cities not northern? That's news to me. They are not in the northeast, but they're definitely northern cities. Along with chicago, cleveland, minneapolis and a host of others.

I think you are confusing geographical location with cultural affiliation. Or perhaps you are using the 1860's as a reference? For example, San Diego is "south" of most cities in the United States, but I would not call it "southern."

I would say Dallas...

I just came back from Houston and wasn't that impressed, Houston has it's nice parts, and some homes are VERY nice but overall some of the people are dirty and some are stuck on stupid while some are very friendly.

Great assessment...Move to Dallas because the people are clean and smart. Unless you mean dirty as in nasty. There are quite a few adult bookstores still around.
