Moved down south for a bit, which totally helped me appreciate CT more. We are not hung up on the civil war, we have good Italian food, and people here drive at least the speed limit.

It kills me how limited the food options are down south. My in laws are there and we eat terribly all week when we visit unless my MIL cooks. No breakfast places that aren't waffle house, no sandwich shops, no good Italian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese food. Just fast food. So much fast food.

I remember when I first moved to Florida I count believe how almost everything seemed to be a chain restaurant. Plaza after plaza of generic crappy fast food places and Cheesecake Factory type restaurants. There were so many chains I had never even heard of that were on every other corner down in Tampa.

Yeah i dont go down south much but i visited my friends in Peachtree City, GA and its almost like a college campus there lol. Everything just seems so "plastic". I asked where there was a deli to get a sub and they looked at me funny lol. Just didnt feel like a place I'd ever be able to call home.
