While I think Hank Jr nailed it a while back,the times are a changing,,,We still say grace and maam,,but very few of my friends hunt any more,,Been to New York several times,and the part about people never smile and say a word is true,They all to busy trying to make an extra dime:sadwave: ,,Met a girl on a cruise about 20 years ago from Connecticut named Pam,,went to visit her afterwards,,,Her family said it was the first time they had ever heard her name have 3 syllables in it,:toast: ,Had a good friend get drafted by Red Sox and was living in Elmira NY for a while,,Got asked to speak at the local chamber of commerce meeting,,he asked them what did they want him to talk about?They responded " we dont care,we just want to hear that accent",,,,:mj07: and maybe Bon Jovi hit it when he sand,,Its all the same,,ony the names have changed,,or GNR,,The streets dont change but maybe the names,,???Its amazing the perception we get from the news media,,,
Some differences between notherners and southerners

This quote from the movie Field of Dreams says it all....
" Is this heaven?
It's Iowa.
Iowa? I could have sworn this was heaven.
Is there a heaven?
Oh yeah. It's the place where dreams come true.
Maybe this is heaven. "
It's like that here in my small town in Texas :0008
I lived in Michigan and New York not the same as in the south.
The ironly...a resident of Detroit poking fun at other demographics :SIB

Forget the big comeback; Detroit focuses on what can be saved
With just 700,000 people left, ambitions are now focused on making less populated neighborhoods viable and repurposing land, perhaps for urban farming. Where the cash-strapped city can't provide, grassroots groups and investors help fill the gaps...
The number of murders per 100,000 people in Detroit in 2012 put the city's murder rate at around 10 times the national average. Even so, says Bing, persuading people in mostly deserted areas to move to denser areas, where there is "safety in numbers," is a challenge.
The population continues in flux because of another acute problem for Detroit - the foreclosure crisis. As many as 42,000 of Detroit's estimated 380,000 homes could go to auction this fall.
The ongoing decline of poor neighborhoods while downtown revives points to the sensitive subject of race, in a city that is 83 percent black and has lived through race riots in the 1940s and 1960s.

Makes me want to jump up and move to this liberal utopia...insurance business has got to be boomimg :lol:

you must be talking about the city cause if you came to western NY you'd get a friendly hello... :0008
North and south has little to do with it imo..... Many of us would get to know our neighbors and say hi to passers-by in small towns, but walk right past someone on a busy urban street.
No irony going on here.........I moved out of Detroit in 1990, 23 years ago. Moved to the suburb of Troy, now I'm in Royal Oak. Very few reasons to enter Detroit much anymore. Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, casinos and restaurants. Even our Pistons moved to the burbs. :SIB
I currently have a couple of Mason jars of Apple Pie, one black cherry, and one old fashioned white lightning in my refridgerator. Ill be set until about 2015!
Similar to the way Alabamans sit and drink on their porches all day waiting for their sister to come home from school so they can get busy?
stereotypes are cool!
nailed it, go to one of the true 'neighborhoods' of New York or Chicago and you can find this.
If you just want to pick and choose things that I said why not pick the part where I said its ALL the same,,only the NAMES change???and have you seen my sister???:shrug: :scared :142smilie
