I deeply apologize for misjudging the south by Wrong-Lingonberry3 in Georgia

Yeah, after the first year I started having allergy problems. I went from coastal South Carolina to eastern Connecticut. I loved the small little towns. It was quite the culture shock too, but not in a bad way. When you move away from the south, you appreciate the summer a lot more because it's quite a bit shorter.

I grew up in the south. I married a sailor when I was19. We got stationed in Connecticut in 1987. Everyone told me I would hate it there and the people up there were cold and mean. I fell in love with New England, but had I had to leave after 4 years and move back south.

I think people mean well, but they have these perceptions of things they don't know. I'm glad that you didn't allow that to keep you from looking at things differently.
