I miss the warm weather
I miss the great food.... the gumbo, the jambalaya, the boils
I miss the friendliness and simplicity of southerners
I miss laying by the pool almost year around
I miss tailgating at college football games
I miss the slow paced easy life and the cheap living

Moved to Minneapolis this year after a lifetime in Louisiana and Texas.
1. Weather is incredible from May through October. A handful of "hot" days in the 82-85 range, great baseball weather and you can spend all day outside grilling, playing golf, working on your property, etc and never break a sweat then start a fire in the pit at night for the 55-60 degree weather.
2. People are too nice. Almost fake nice. Hard to explain but just weird.
3. Food sucks. Well it's more that there is no difference from place to place. There are so many places with great burgers, cheese curds, wings and sandwhiches, but they all taste the same. Steakhouses are pretty good but not like Houston of course. Seafood is not good.
4. Very liberal and people dont work as hard or as long as we do in the south. They value time off more than money or career. At least my experience.
5. Cleanest and safest place I've ever been.
6. Very expensive, everything.
I've actually enjoyed it but it feels like somewhere I have to live for a while versus a new home. Just can't make it feel like home even though we are in a great place. Looking forward to getting back to the Gulf Coast in a few years.

It should be but in my line of work I find much more conflict in things that were just a given in Louisiana or Texas. Just a different sense of urgency to deliver business needs than what I'm accustomed to.
I can't argue the notion, just makes things difficult for the employer, but it has definitely made me stop and think about what the balance should really look like.

I think you’re struggling to separate southern culture from redneck culture.
. i understand what you're saying. however, you say most of n carolina does not have this old south culture. i just want to see a list of some areas where this culture is prominent.

I can’t say 95% of the jokes I learned in the South up here without being charged with a hate crime by the PC police.

You managed to ignore every question thrown at you. Good work.

Carolina isn't Southern you dumbass redneck!
Or something like that.

north does suck but the humidity and heat suck when you are older.

We could really learn a thing from you, California

You seriously didn't mention the quality of southern women over the north?

Do you miss the statues?

This, and there is no debate. Only a slight exaggeration...you can see more beautiful women on the Quad in 15 minutes than you see in a week walking around downtown Seattle.

They were hot before they cut their hair short, died it blue, got nose piercings, and gained 50 lbs.
