I moved from Albany/Corvallis (around Portland OR) to Raleigh, NC for school (I go to NC State) and the difference is clearly perceptible. Everyone waves & smiles to each other, people say 'bless your heart,' please & thank you etc. In general they don't give off the impression that they want to minimize human contact as much as possible like in Portland. I guess it's worth mentioning that there is a lot of animosity here towards people from NY and NJ (I have heard this from 3 people off the top of my head), but everyone I've met from those parts is cool too...
