53. The South is winning now..

Tue Jun 23, 2015, 07:30 PM

Jun 2015

They may have lost the war...but they are clearly seeing their renaissance now.

Cities exploding, northerners flocking there like crazy to escape high taxes and overpriced real estate, better weather, everything new and clean..

Moving there myself soon! Love it. And don't let the stories in rural areas fool you, I encounter much less racism in major southern cities like Charlotte or Atlanta than I do even in the NYC suburbs...
