No Georgia on that list ......

You can't reason with aggressive ignorance.


It must be very painful to find out that you live in the region that you loathe when you thought you were exempt from it. LOL! A bit of time and maturity will help someone like this understand the world a little better.

Not ignorance. Just fact. Florida isn't southern, and doesn't like being grouped with the rest of south. Call the sparsely populated panhandle what you want. 9.5/10 Floridians don't live there and couldn't care less about it.

More people from backwoods GEORGIA trying to tell Florida what it is. Laughable. This is why I hated living in Atlanta so much. The people there are straight up bizarre.

Florida isn't the most culturally Southern state, but it's in the South and Southern culture is certainly present there. That's just a fact.

You hardly speak for Florida, THANK GOD!

You give the place and it's residents a bad name, to say the least.

You simply couldn't cut it here in the big city, plain and simple. It has obviously made you beyond bitter. You need to stay in your cute little boutique of a city, and just resign yourself that Naples is the perfect place for the likes of you.

Yet hundreds of thousands of your lucky neighbors have moved here quite successfully, and continue to do so. I'm guessing they all must be wearing bibs around town, you know - for all of that slobbering you have to encounter here.

Like I said before, I have family and friends all over Florida and they all look at themselves as Southerners. From Tallahassee to Ocala to Orlando to Fort Myers to Port St Lucie to Miami. That may hurt you because you have a hatred for all things Southern. But you live in the South.

The Triad has not seen the growth that the Triangle and Charlotte have seen but it's growing at a steady pace. Ditto Wilmington and Asheville.

Interestingly despite being South Carolinas largest city, Columbia is probably the lease transplant saturated metro in the state. At least that's my impression of it. The BMW plant in Greer has done good things for the Upstate and it seems the region has become somewhat of a hotspot for Northern engineers in recent years. Charleston has the benefit of being on the coast, having a port, and its history is a draw for tourists, some of whom love the city so much they decide to call it home. I believe Charleston is really close to overtaking Columbia as the largest city, will likely do so before the end of the decade if it already has not. Retirees love Myrtle Beach and will continue to flock there until the end of time.

Anyone have insight as to why Memphis is low on the transplant totem pole?
