LB, to answer your question as to why yankees move to the south...there is more opportunity in the south. I'm from Boston, it has more people per square mile than probably just about anywhere in the country. It's constantly packed, and jobs are hard to come by. Also, the cost of living in the north is way too expensive. My brother bought his 1600 sq ft house (built in the 30's) for 610k. Add to that the fact that there is a lot of snow in the north (which I personally miss, but a lot of people get fed up with) and that is why yankees move to the south.
It's prettier in the north, and is rich in history. It's also a college kids dream in terms of the amount of colleges. And I don't care what you say, the food in the north is much better than the south. All those hole in the wall italian places, and the best chinese on the planet. I've been to all but 9 states, and while every place has decent food, the north has the best food bar none.

Well, NC is a beautiful state and is very rich in history I think. I've never been up North so I don't really know what it's like up there.

Southern food is much better. We do comfort foods like nobody's business. You can't beat our bbq, southern fried chicken or country fried steak with sawmill gravy. Everything we eat has a ton of butter or sugar in it and lots of seasoning. It's mmm... mmm... good. You can't compare international foods, we're talking about american foods here.
