Anywhere north of the Mason-Dixen line is off limmits. Having to deal with freakin Yankees would drive me insane. I don't care for rednecks too much, but you can avoid them most of the time in large urban areas. I have lived many places outside TX. But I always end up asking my self, why?
Is your only response to everyone that criticizes Utah... "but daggum we have a ****load of snow!!!". I swear, I haven't heard you say anything but "NASCAR" and "lotsa snow"! lol. If you care to know, there are people out here that hate snow and couldn't care less to be near it... Anyway, I've been to Utah and enjoyed the people more than anything despite the fact I thought the city was boring. I wouldn't mind moving there some day. I like the scenery compared to Texas and SLC was a lot cleaner and of course less congested than Dallas or Houston.
