I have lived in a bunch of places in the US. I have visited most of the rest long enough to get a feel for the places, and what life is like. The post about the South sounds about right except for one thing....

Every Southerner I ever knew preferred their steak more well done.
This seems particularly true of Texans.

Other than food, America is America. The climate varies, the topography and the food varies. But the people all seem pretty much the same to me.

Since I spoke of rednecks, I am one by birth, I have to share
this little ditty as it made me laugh out loud -

The most hole experience I have ever been part of had a wash tub(horse trough) in the back. A few towels to keep the water off of the hardwood floor.
Man the hills of Hazard Kentucky, and the people in em sure makes me proud to have it part of my blood-line
