When people think of the “Deep South” they typically are thinking about Alabama and Mississippi.
Georgia has Atlanta and that airport with the really expensive turkey wraps. Louisiana talks funny and puts their strip clubs on main thoroughfares instead of hiding them in the industrial centers like they’re supposed to. North Carolina is about 93% banks at this point. Tennessee is where the region’s musical talent goes to wait tables. Arkansas and Missouri are too close to Texas and the Midwest, respectively. Kentucky is horse snobby. South Carolina has done a pretty decent job convincing the rest of the world that the whole state is Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
