Going on a Jazz road trip

Just for the record, I was born in CT, lived in Virginia and FLorida as a kid. Lived in Texas for a year and a half. Lived in Utah and CA as an adult and presently live in NH.

I have visited or driven through every state including Alaska and two of the Hawaiian Islands (Maui and Oahu). Lived out of the country and have visited four countries and want to do a lot more.

The one constant thing is there are good/bad people everywhere. Even in Kentucky!!!. LOL.

Only responding to those places of yours you listed. I have lived in Cape Cod, Virginia (just south of D.C.), every part of Florida, several places in TX, and a couple places in CA... and currently live in Utah. That's about 10% of my stops.

Serious truth. What I have found is the values of most everyone is the same (family, etc) but the method of communication is drastically different.. and I'm not talking geo-accents. I am referring to how loud, or obnoxious, or slow speaking, or whatever... a southerner and Bostoner are mostly likely to grate one another's nerves.. but it's less about 'being' different (at the core) and more about a discomfort with the cross-communication.

There is soooooo much I would like to say about the specific verbiage of this post and not one thought would be permitted within the forum.
I will say that you have a few contradictory ideals in there.

Born and bred in the east, educated in the Midwest, visited the NW, and having lived in the South -- that's my opinion. To say that the politicians in the South are usually far more reactionary than the rest of the country is not opinion, but fact. To say that the South is historically more racist than other parts of the country is not opinion, but fact.

So could you define "rad" for me?

Food
History
Scenery
Friendliness
Culture of respect

I say this by having lived on the west coast, mountain west and south. (CA, UT, WA, CO and MS specifically) I have also spent significant time in AZ, NV, ID, TN, AR and FL.

As for your racism and politicians comment it is your opinion. Which is fine but if it is a fact then prove it please.

They are not contradictory they just cannot be done simultaneously.

See, cowhide? I wasn't the only one that read it that way.

I see how it comes off that way but I took it as that America is to large, and ethnically and culturally diverse to judge it based on any one area.
