you will be amazed how friendly everyone is. Nothern indiana was the rudest crap hole ive ever been in followed closely by Wisc and then MN. Plus ya'll don't have any food up there, why i'll never be north of the mason/dixon line again.


Not my circus, not my clowns.

As long as you keep Minnesota's liberal politics in Minnesota, I don't think there would be any issue. However, you would still receive the title of (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) yankee. lol.

I used to go down South fairly often. People were more friendly. The big difference is that they weren't in a hurry and take the time to talk. This tremendously frustrates many people from big cities in the North Eastern down to New York and New Jersey. If I had to move out of Ohio, I would move to North Carolina.

I would stay away from areas full of North Eastern implants. They mostly suck.

We've been accepted by pretty much everyone we've dealt with. You will, as mentioned, get called a yankee, for life. I don't think most of the people down here would cotton to having a liberal for a neighbor, but if you're a conservative and don't come down here and try to change everything, you'll have zero problems.

I used to go to FL every winter for a month, I met as many people from MN, WI and MI as I did from FL it seemed. You really don't have to go far South to escape the weather, Iowa and Missouri have very mild winters compared to us.

This exactly. Don't be trying to change what has worked for as long as we can remember and we'll get along just fine.

Yes, you'll always be a yank but it's up to you if you're one of the good one's or not. And we'll bend over backwards to give you the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise.

One tip, slow down and be willing to pull up a chair and set a spell. We ain't in no hurry and consider it rude to always be rushing off somewhere and unable to give the time of day.

Good tip, Warrior. Any time I'm down south it helps to remember to not be in a hurry!
I've always enjoyed myself every time I've been in the South. Nice country and good people.

Food, we consider a good meal among friends to be of utmost importance. Please don't be offended if you're asked to bring ice and cups to the potluck. It's just that we know who can and can't and try to keep things just so.

Now that said most of us are willing to least whatever it is y'all yanks call food. Heck, we might even like it. We do eat froglegs, crawfish and pigs feet so we're willing. Just be careful at potlucks, best if someone can vouch for it.

And if you're a picky eater please don't make an issue of it. We respect each other's peculiarities as long as it's not an issue.

I went from the Canadian border to close to the Mexican border. Lived in south Texas for a decade and LOVED it. To this day I am amazed how accepting everyone was, and how comfortable I felt. Being a minority was interesting to say the least, but it was a positive experience. God willing, I will spend some time there when I retire.

Don't ever say, "Back in Minnesota we did it this way." No one in the true south gives a rip how you did things where ever you came from.
