kshegirl--the Boothill is AWESOME! lol. I think I live in one of the only states to have every region of the United States within its borders......
ya sure got that one right!!!! Thats what makes our state of Mo so wonderful, its diversity! btw, my mamas family lives in the bootheel, and has since before it got platted out into counties.
THere are a ton of different regions, although a vast majority of the them are polluted with Cracker Barrel, franchises, and brick housing. I cannot believe I once lived in the South.
What's wrong with brick housing? It holds up much better than any other building material.
Despite there being a number of brick homes, they don't make up a majority. Lots of vinyl and wood.
Actually I didn't. I kept my mouth shut and tried my best to fit in and appreciate it for what it is. I just missed the mountains, ocean, weather and culture of the west. I'm a westerner and was a fish out of water. I like sushi and hate fried food. I prefer surfing to watching football. I hate Nascar. I don't like all the trees. I don't enjoy mowing lawns or going to church. You get the idea. I didn't fit in b/c I don't belong there.
You prefer a barren landscape, or the typical meditteranean landscape of the southern California coast?
You can keep it. Most of the trees are not natural, rather planted. That includes all of your Eukalyptus and Palm trees.
The Ozarks are a subregion of both the South and the Midwest. The same i think could be said for Appalachia, which also is a subregion of the Northeast.
Don't pat yourself on the back too hard. You exchanged one brand of conformity for another.
Not sure what you mean by that. I don't ski, surf, sail, or hike to impress others. But even if it is conformity, I gladly welcome it. I hate the South.

Oh, experience has taught me that if you hate an area, it's really your problem not theirs. I'm pretty sure that, in another 3-5 years, you'll hate wherever you are, too.

I don't buy that at all. When I lived in California for 10 years I loved every minute of it. B/C of a job I moved to the South and didn't like it much. I made some good friends, but I love the Ocean, mountains, dry weather, and the California culture. I've know Southerners who moved to the West and missed the South and left for home. I'm a westerner and don't BELONG in the South.
Bible Belt is often used when referencing much of the south east. Isn't Texas in Tornado Alley or something like that
