All of this is very unlike, say, London, England, where I >lived from 1989-2001. The same is true of the Deep South (except the part about snow). I've lived all over the world and chose to return to South Carolina. I think most people who live here, contrary to popular opinion, would never want to live anywhere else because of the "Southern Hospitality." We even have a festival here in Rock Hill every spring called "Come See Me" because that's the phrase you hear most often. We love visitors and call everybody "Honey" or "Sugar." If you don't want to get intimate, don't come South, Honey!
