My wife and I used to make deliveries to a place right on the line. The warehouse was on the north side of the line and the parking lot where we slept overnight was on the south side. So we slept in Dixie and in the morning made our delivery to those Dang Yankees! LOL
Did you notice the vast differences between the parking lot and the warehouse?
(in other words, I don't think one exists these days - I don't think there is one "south", nor is there one "north". Both are hodge podges of multiple subregions defined by a 1800s war and the various political intrigues surround it.)
the Mason Dixon line is just a highly accurate survey line. It doesnt really have anything to do with North or South really.
Also, I dont really understand "rural poverty". I mean, of course people living out in the sticks generally dont make as much money, but they dont actually need to. Its not like inner city poverty, where you have to be making money but arent. Rural living has advantages in that you dont have to spend much money to live comfortably. A lot of people living out there are hunters and fisherman and farmers and they get a lot of what they need by living off the land. They arent rich, but they arent starving either.
come down to rural south carolina and i'll show you real rural poverty.
Saw a program on the history channel the other day that said history is being changed daily with discoveries. I don't think the Mason-Dixon Line is one of them though.
