Yes; there's definitely something to be said for this part of the country. There are many attributes to the south that are less than ideal, but I know I'll miss getting called 'dearie' and other things, and men being chivalrous. And not in a creepy way. I'm very independent, don't get me wrong; I also had an interesting and short conversation with a woman at a rest stop who was moving from Maine to Florida— one of those happenstance conversations. She had asked if I was going home from school. ROFL. I loved that she thought I was in college. :P
