Double Bass Pride, Prejudice, and zombies

Born in North Carolina and spent all my life in the South and the West. Most all our relatives still live in Georgia, Florida and Texas. There is much I miss about the Deep South, especially the food :D, but the big sky and wide open spaces of the West are where I feel most at home.
 
Yeah its redundant, but the Southern Pride thread makes me think about how awesome my hometown is, or most of the northern end of North America for that matter.Whether its mountains that dwarf cities or open tundra. Its sparse and its stupid cold but somebody got to call it home.

well atleast you have awesome golf out in AZ too! I need to go to Scottsdale badly
 
What the hell... we've got Northern and Southern; we might as well get these Western folk involved.

I'm from Utah; it's awesome. I have 10 ski resorts within an hour of my house, and mountain biking everywhere. This time of year I can snowboard in the morning and mountain bike in the afternoon. Stop complaining about the liquor laws... you can get drunk here just as easily as anywhere else.

Go West! :cool:
 
As far as why Florida isn't included; the only reason I can think of is that everyone who isn't from Florida assumes the entire State is like Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. As some one who was born and bred here, I can tell you that is most definitely not the case.
If you go to Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Gainesville/Ocala, or any of the cities/areas that aren't on the coast, you'll find a VERY southern state.

Yeah, I'd say that once you're about 20 miles north of I-4, you're in "The South."
 
Yeah, we've got NYC, Philly, Boston. We have some of the safest beaches on the planet, some great skiing areas in the mountains and some of the hottest gals on the planet. Here's to Eastern pride.. fuggedaboutit!

Chime in if ya'll love the East Side yo.
