Uh, Mark Twain was born and raised in Missourri and, though it may have escaped your notice, Missourri is north of the Mason Dixon line. He also lived most of his adult life in New York and Connecticut.

I disagree, Misery may be north of the line, but it has traditionally been considered a Southern state, because of its history and culture. Just as one would not call Kentucky and W. Virginia "Northern" simply because they remained in the US during the Civil War along with Misery.

Ya know that may fly in the Boot Leg or some back water like Cape Girardeau, but that sure as hell wouldn't fly in Joplin, KC or St. Louis. Not to mention Hannibal. Which, btw, have you ever been to Hannibal, MO? I have, I can assure you, they do not consider themselves "Southern". The "southern" area of Missouri is pretty much limited to the Bootleg and to the Ozarks.

I didn't disagree with whether or not Twain is a southern writer. Most literary scholars consider him southern.

I was taking issue with the post I quoted. What region he wrote about means nothing as far as whether or not he was a southern writer.

LOL, Although I think this is a funny thread , you responding and actually owning up to living in the Garbage state makes me LOL even harder

I was born and raised in NJ, left there 18 years ago, the North does have some beautiful places and great Italian food( can't get good pizza in the south, lol) but there is no way you can compare the North east to the south as far as a vacation spot

If the north has it all over top of the south why are all the vacation spots in the south? Yea there are some great spots to vacation in the North but most of the norther's come south for vaca,

As for schools do some checking there a lot of great schools in the south

I guess it all boils down to, do you want to be the only person in the mall that speaks English or the only person without a southern accent, lol

But as far as NJ goes, my boss tries to send me there twice a week or to the north east anyway cause I lived up there, and I just assume to drive 100 miles out of my way to stay out of the Garbage state

The best site NJ has is looking at it in the rear view mirror from the Delaware Memorial Bridge , LOL
 
NJ has great food no doubt- I've never had a bad meal there.

With regards to pizza, yeah I also know what you're saying. We've got a small chain that does make a good pie though. It's called Mario's, and the owner's from NJ. There's also an excellent, inexpensive Italian restaurant in Wilkesboro, and a great Italian restaurant in the mountains near my cabin, both places owned by folks that moved from, where else, NJ.

Atlanta and the surrounding area has a few good also, but I have found most are Greek-Italian , altthough they are ok, when I get laid over in NJ and have the real thing I remember how a good pie really taste, lol
