    Greetings from a northern California native living on the Florida panhandle.

    Sorry for you about that Fresno gig.
    A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.

    Howdy from a FL native married to the guy from Northern CA.

    I think my interest in urban planning came from "What the hell am I going to do with a geography degree?".

    Hello from Michigan
    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
