<p>The triangle is not southern and lacks the hospitality and other good things associated with the south as well. I live here. Northern and western transplants will feel right and home and may be surprised by the lack of locals. On my street of 14 families, only one is local. As I think about the neighbors closest to my home, Michigan, New York, Florida, California, New Jersey, Connecticut and Arizona are represented. My husband (born in NY but raised in rural NC) has the only southern accent on the block.</p>
