Yes, the dividing line for climate is usually along the Ohio River further to the east.

Springfield, to me, is more of a country-Southern, as in trucks and cowboys southern type. Not the South of cotton, fields, sweet tea, etc.
Yet, there are touches of midwestern mannerisms to it too, minor, but they are there. |

Springfield seems to more closely resemble all of those upper-Midwest cities than it does with places like Mobile, Savannah or Birmingham. In fact, my next-door neighbors recently moved here from Louisianna. They can't believe how different life here in the Ozarks is, and they consider themselves very much of Southern influence. It's been my experience that people experience less culture-shock coming from the places that you described than true Southern states. |

just look at the terrain around Springfield, theres nothing too terribly southern about it. Especially to the West around the Kickapoo and Sarcoxie prairies-very midwestern. As you get closer to Ozark-Branson it becomes more southern

I will completely agree with your sentiments about Springfield being a pretty friendly area. I've always thought of Springfield as a large "small town" due to the culture in this area. I grew up north of St. Louis, in a small town that would definitely be considered rural Midwest. Part of the reason that I liked Springfield so much was that the culture was very close to what I was used to. I haven't lived in the upper-Midwest, but I'm sure that you are right about them having a different feel since you've experienced those places. Did you get the chance to spend time in some of the more rural places up there? I'm curious to hear if the culture was similar to the larger metropolitan areas. |
