Are Southerner's Hostile towards Yankee's?

what you need to do is mve down to coastal AL(mobile, orange beach, gulf shores) and start salt water fishing. i was in jackson mississippi for 23 years and all i did was fresh water fish or pond hopping, moved down to biloxi and dude i havent set a line into fresh water since then. i dont care for hunting at all it is really boring to me and kinda useless considering i can go buy meat from the grocery store, but all the while i was growing up i fished ALOT and although fishing didnt keep me away from drugs it did keep me out of trouble with the law. your son has picked up a lifelong hobby that is very rewarding. encourage him to fish all he wants if he really does enjoy it and teach him proper catch and release practices so there may be plenty of fun for everyone to enjoy

I DO live in Mobile! %) And, I lovelovelove it!!!!!


I am trying to set it up with this guy I know who has a boat, which he docks on Dauphin Island, to take my kiddo salt water fishing when Kiddo gets back from visiting my parents up north. As far as the catch and release, Kiddo's daddy has stressed that ever since he first taught him to cast his line. For my kid, the joy seems to be in the thrill of the catch, not so much yet in keeping them, although I am sure that will come in due time!

Someone many posts back had mentioned the stereotype some northerners have that southerners are racist. I'm sure racism exists here, as it sadly does everywhere, but to tell y'all the truth, I saw worse racism up north than I see here. It seems that everyone of all races gets along better here. And, as crazy as this may sound, I have never heard anyone utter the "n word" here, whereas people up north toss it about like it's nothing.

As far as the weather, I don't mind the heat and humidity, especially as the pay-off is very mild winters, and snow is practically unheard of. It last snowed in Mobile in 1996, and people here still talk about that! Also, Autumns are beautiful here. It's a more subtle beauty than the knock-your-socks-off colors up north, but I have never seen bluer skies than October in Mobile.

perhaps the craziest thing to me, weatherwise, was when we had to run the air conditioner Christmas Day, as it was so warm and humid. It's crazy to be sitting there looking at the Christmas tree with the air blasting! But, it's all good.

This place feels more like home to me than I ever thought it could, and I will miss it when and if I ever relocate. Mostly, it's the people here. Good, decent, kind, polite, self-sufficient, proud, and strong.

I lived in Mobile for 6 months last year, its okay but there isnt much to do when its cold outside, but yea summer time is cool there, I lived down in the hood downtown near the "Campground" neighborhoood if you know where that is, right off Springhill Ave near North Ann st. My mother is from Mobile and I was actually born there while we were visiting my grandparents. My mom lives there now and I would have grown up in Mobile but my Dad loved New Orleans so thats where i was raised.
 
See, I don't think you understand Lacey, It's not 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity sometimes, ITS 100 DEGREES WITH 100% HUMIDITY EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 4 MONTHS STRAIGHT! It really sucks when you take a shower, put on a nice new outfit, walk outside and in 5 minutes your soaking fucking wet like you just ran a marathon through a damn swamp! Your whole body is sweating, your socks are freaking wet, which makes your new shoes stink, you gotta take 3 or 4 showers a day or otherwise you smell like a dog, trust me, when friends move down here from up north, they have a very hard time dealing with the heat their first couple of summers here. Also, there aren't houses or apartments here with no AC, it is a state law, you are required to have a working air conditioning unit in your dwelling, and its hotter here than in Arizona because of the humidity, there is 0 humidity in the Southwest and there are desert winds which keep you cool, but down here when the Heat Index is 115-120 it not only is uncomfortable, it is deadly, it can and will KILL YOU, we have heat advisories and sometimes the city will put out a warning for no one to spend more than 30 minutes outside at a time, when they have an code orange warning, employers have to let all their employees who work outside off work for the day. It's raining here today so the high is only 90 but with the humidity the Heat Index is 96, and its pitch black out and storming today!

All this talk of weather. Sorry to rub it in guys but its sunny 79 degrees F with
55% humidity @ 3:15 pm here in San Diego. In Atlanta evryone is required by law to have an airconditioner here by the beach no one I know has an air conditioner or a heater for that matter. I'm suprised no one wrote a law banning them with all the environmantal facists running around in this state. Thank God the state capital is located in the not so salubrious city of Sacaramento. Only broke out the fan over the passed week or two. Left the link to the local newspaper website and although I'm sure it updated, whatever weather it shows at the time someone checks it is going to much more pleasant than what I heard described here in this thread from people posting about their hometowns North or South.:p:p:p

I agree that San Diego has some out of this world fantastic weather! It's a beautiful city, and I fall in love with it more n more each time I go there, although it has been a few years now since I last visited.

I like Coronado. My best guy friend was stationed in the Navy out there, and I visited one year to see him off on a six month cruise he was going on. I spent a lot of time meandering around the little town, walking down to the ocean, etc. It was so breathtaking that I actually stopped a lady on the street and told her, "Do you realize that you might quite possibly live in one of the most beautiful towns in the USA?" :D She said she had lived there all her life and could not imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

The Hotel Del is awesome. I told my man that I want to take a vacation out there one of these years and stay in that hotel for a long weekend.
 
I live in Richmond now but I have lived all over the south and Atlanta was one of the hottest places I can ever recall being in the summer. I was there for a few days a couple weeks back helping a friend of mine move and it was actually pretty mild, high in the mid-80s and humidity was stayin around 40-50%. He was tellin me how its been a mild summer in ATL, it gets hot enough in Richmond but like people have said here: they don't call it Hotlanta for nothing.

The humidity is way worse than the temperature I can contest to that. Its what makes you feel uncomfortable. I agree with ATLien - nothing sucks more than taking a shower and being completely soaked head to toe in sweat after being outside for 5 minutes. Georgia had people dying of heat stroke and shit when I lived there a couple years ago though. I mean it really does feel like walking into an oven sometimes when it gets humid as fuck and the temp creeps into the triple digits for a week. But it hasn't been like that this year... yet. August has yet to come. Global warming reversal?jk jk
 
does amybody up here really care if southerners are hostile to us from a war we won a REALLY long time ago, and other petty reasons??
as far as all that fishin stuff. its great for kids- showed me a bigger world than the block i grew up on and while that catch and release shit may be cool in sweet water, please believe me when i say that you takin a fish or 3 from the ocean, bay/ bayou, whatever body of saltwater, home for dinner is just fine- and what God or whatever you believe in intended- i take ALOT of fish home for dinner, and even use them to fill my bank accounts!

Actually, it's impossible for 100% humidity at 100 degrees. The air begins to dry out the hotter it gets. Mayybe 70% at most. But yeah, it gets hot.

I really don't think there's a lot of hostility about yanks in the South. I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding amongst the two cultures, but no hate. Most people are all about southern hospitality. We are known for racism, but I think that's wayy overplayed. I think blacks and whites have coexisted in the south on the same level for so long and we are not nearly as segregated as they are in the north. We may be a little poorer because of our agricultural heritage as opposed to the industrial revolution that took place mainly in the north, but we're not all dummies like movies and the media would portray us to be. With the dawn of technology with TV, Internet and other communications devices, the country as a whole has become much more uniform. In fact, the southern accent is becoming extinct. Like, California is like, taking over ya know.
Anyway, I'm a well travelled person and I've been all over the United States and have been to England, France and Italy and I can tell you that there is some bias against southerners in the north. I've been treated very rudely by folks in New York (threatening violence on my father for standing too close to "him" in a line) and Las Vegas and Los Angeles (being called a "cracker"). It goes both ways. :\
 
^^^ SW saying the southern accent is going extinct is false as hell. that would be like saying the boston or NJ accent was going extinct. its just isnt happening at all. regional accents will never go extinct aslong as you actually have the same generations of families growing up in that area. is the london accent going extinct as well?

...Brit, I'm assuming.

NOLA in the house!

and uh, I'm only hostile towards "Yankees" when they do something rude/offensive/stupid.

But that's everyone, not just Yankees. Well, no, most of the things I get pissed off at Yankees about are things no self respecting Southerner would do.
 
basic manners things. not tipping bartenders. not saying "thank you" to the waitress, even if she's a shit one. answering your cell phone in the middle of a conversation, at the table.
trying to cut someone in line at the streetcar. not realizing how one way streets work.

stupid shit.

didn't yo mamma teach you nothing?!
 
I actually watched a PBS show on regional accents (they went all over the country, from Boston down to Kentucky, through the deep South and over to Texas and California) and said that many of the nuances in the languages are disappearing. I didn't just make it up off the top of my head.

And its a British accent, fwiw.
 
uh, different areas of england have unique accents just like different parts of america do 8)
 
i was in georgia for almost a year, im french canadien, and ive never encountered any hostility
they do fit the stereotype and i think its great
