To me, the South is home. And why wouldn't it be? I moved here when I was 19; so I pretty much grew up here, got my degrees from UAB, got married here, had kids here. I've been up North and out West, but I didn't really ever feel like I wanted to stay.
Are there some things that irritate me about the South? Of course. But not enough to make me want to move.
I like the South, I like Southern culture, people, and food. Wish I could live in an antebellum-style house! Perhaps when I decide to build my next home ;) I may not like the Bham area... even though it's undergoing a fairly active gentrification, it's still a bit dumpy. If I ever do move, I'd consider moving to Huntsville. I think Southerners in general are pretty decent people, very friendly. Especially older black ladies and gentlemen.
As far as being "them", I'm not sure how to answer that question. I've been a non-conformist all my life. I just hang out with other weirdos (and I don't mean other immigrants) and we get along just fine.
