After reading a few pages in this topic, I realize this must happen in most states. I thought it was just the south since everyone thinks we're all barefoot hayseeds down here. (we usually wear flip-flops/sandals because of the heat.)
We are very friendly, we wave at unknown cars passing by as we mow the grass.
And say "Hey, How are ya?" to those we know out in public and "Hello" to everyone else. We know our manners!
A lot of us still know the old crafts/cooking of our grandparents and enjoy it.
We don't like "transplants" moving in, telling us we should do things the way they're done in the place they came from. We say, If you don't like it, move back.
The pet peeve around here: Chattanooga is pronounced Chatta-nooga not Chatt-nooga, don't leave out the a, we use that. :)
