I'm not trying to imply it is or isn't, I'm just curious about what people in and away from the South think.
I live in Kentucky. It's okay. I live in one of its friendlier areas, but most people here are either aloof at first, OR they're really nice at first but actually have nasty personalities.
The GOOD:
-Mississippians I've met have been mostly nice and genteel but reserved
-I've had great luck with Floridians, also (even though they get a bad rap)
-Texans also seem to be friendly, congenial people. (I plan to move there soon)
The BAD:
-I've met some NASTY, smart alec people from Tennessee and (especially) Alabama
-Anybody I've met from Arkansas seems to have a chip on their shoulder
-My dad used to work with two people from So. Carolina that were just a**holes
So, I know there's nice and mean folks everywhere. But I'm beginning to wonder if the South really lives up to its mantra.
By the way, I love the South and I plan on living and dying here! Graci!

Southern hospitality isn't about what zip code your in, but the way a person was raised and/or decides to live their life.
I live in Southern Illinois, (not at all deep south) no one walks into my house without being offered something to drink, I smile at everyone (or most everyone) I meet. I wave at people I don't know while driving and say hello to people I don't know while shopping.
Southern hospitality is a generalization. Find nice people, they will have nice friends, hang out with them.

Oh, Travelin' man...you keep whining about how you've been treated in Alabama. Who knows what the real story is. Chances are you probably said something to dumb to somebody, and they gave you a swift retort. Grow up.
I've lived in Alabama five years, and these people are incredibly gracious.

You've met the wrong people in Alabama, pard.

I'm from Louisiana and I'm one of the friendliest people you'd ever meet. I'm not sure if it's a regional thing or not, it may just be a personal thing. Good luck. 2D
