NuNu Does The South

This weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to take a quick trip to the South. We laughed, we smiled, we gawked and we shook our heads at the great disparity that existed between those that were raised "up top" and those that were native southerners. 
The men, the music, the fashion, the hospitality, even the comraderie left me wondering... who really does it better? Can Northerners learn a thing or two from our southern compadres? Does the South need a crash course in how to be less country?
 

Do you prefer Northern or Southern living/women/men/food/culture/lifestyle? I wanna hear from you!
