NC is North to me (Central Texas) and many of the guy's I've worked with in Georgia. So when he was saying southern town without just naming the darn city I'm expecting something without a greater metropolitan area. The last guy that I worked with from Charlotte was an awesome developer so "howdy" from Austin.

NC is North to me Hey, hey... careful, them's fightin' words! Oh, wait, there I go fulfilling a stereotype about people from here... dangit. :-) Seriously though, when people talk about "The South" I assume they mean something roughly like "South of the Mason/Dixon line" or "State that fought as part of the Confederacy during the Civil War." When people say "Deep South" I take that to mean something a little more restrictive.. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. The last guy that I worked with from Charlotte was an awesome developer so "howdy" from Austin. Gnarly! "Howdy" back, from RTP!

Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. Why do we Floridians get forgotten every time someone mentions the deep south culturally we are (where) similar to South Georgia and have a lot of Spanish and Southern history. We are like the Rodney Dangerfield of the south.

    Heh, sorry, bro. I almost put FL, but in my mind, Florida has a distinctive culture that separates it a bit from Georgia, Mississippi, etc. Maybe that's just because I tend to think "South Florida" when I think of Florida... since I'm a Miami Dolphins die-hard. :-)

      Yeah most people do think of South Florida when they think of FL. It funny how similar we are to CA with south and north FL being so totally different like it is in CA. Up until the 50's all of Florida was culturally similar to a mix of Georgia and Louisiana. After the 50's it all changed, I grew up in a town called Vero and it was on the dividing line between south and north. It was a cool place to be, like living on the border of two totally different cultures. That being said the gulf coast is still rich in old Florida culture. The coolest part about Florida is we have a deep pirate history, being a pirate buff as a child it was an awesome place to grow up.
