Charlotte and Raleigh are still southern and full of southerners. Go further than the airports and hotel zones.

The whole state of Missouri.

Knoxville – No genuinely Southern city would proudly serve a Skyline Chili knockoff called Petros. And that downtown? It’s giving “Cincinnati cosplay,” not Southern charm.
The weirdest thing about Cincinnati is how southern it can feel at times.

Indianapolis has that feel.

Huntsville thinks it’s a suburb of Nashville and is therefore guilty by association.

Houston, maybe along the Nashville timeline

I don't think either of these view themselves as "Southern"
Fort Worth thinks it's Dodge City in 1880
Dallas thinks it's New York
I wish I had thought of that, but you know that by next week, I will have!

Houston & Austin – These two are uncanny in the truest sense. They’ll swear they’re Southern, but your senses immediately know something’s off. Wait a little and the California DNA starts showing.
No one in these cities have ever considered themselves traditional southern cities. Ever.

Knoxville has a Rust belt feel in some neighborhoods. East Tennessee had pro Union ties during the Civil War era. For those reasons, Knoxville never felt “southern”. Maybe a southern Apps feel once you get into Maryville and down towards Tellico.
Yeah. I like Knoxville, but you half expect to see mine workers leaving a shift with their lunch pails.

Disagree - as corny as it is, it is definitely southern.

Dallas–Fort Worth
Southwestern much more so than Southern.
quote:
Knoxville
Agreed, more Appalachian than Southern. Petro's is awful. Don't get the appeal. I saw people eating it in Neyland on Saturday and questioned who in their right mind would pay $10 for that slop, even when drunk. I'd rather spring for the stale Papa John's personal pizza.
quote:
Charlotte & Raleigh
They don't feel as Southern anymore because of their "newness" - more cosmopolitan with the influx of transplants and the banking (in the case of Charlotte) or tech (in the case of Raleigh). However, both have very Southern roots and the suburbs/exhurbs still feel Southern. North Carolina itself is still very Southern despite what some might say.
quote:
Houston & Austin
Again, more southwestern than anything.

But yet their local university is a founding member of the “South” Eastern Conference.

Doesn’t think it’s southern but everyone else does.
this might be the most insightful thing ever posted on the OT

These still feel very different to me considering how close they are. The lines are clearly blurring and they may be indistinguishable in another generation. But right now I appreciate Fort Worth in ways that Dallas legitimately annoys me.

Agreed, we get them catered for work lunches some times and the only thing worth eating is the Frito's. The chili is nasty slop.

Stop using AI to make these shitty threads.
We can all tell.
It's fooling nobody.
No real person talks like this.
