Retirees boosting states' rural economies

Even so, officials in those states are considering state-backed efforts to help small inland communities attract a share of the retirement boom."

Why do black people tip poorly? Why are women bad drivers? Why are asians good at math?

Some mysteries just cannot be explained.

"2) Why do you say Car instead of Kerr?"

If you are talking about Kerr Avenue it is named after the family name, Kerr, which was pronounced Car. But this is actually wrong and locals refuse to accept that... it is really pronounced Kerr.

I babysat for a family that vacations here every summer from NYC. I asked him if it's a huge culture shock for them here, and he said it is, but he said he really appreciates the difference in culture around here, for them it really is a vacation from every day life.

I was really happy to meet a yank that appreciated us here.

8/31/2009 8:17:27 PM

This is a crappy list, there are lots of things I don't get about southerners, but these aren't them, biscuits help you get full and are tasty, pronunciation is a cultural thing, and I don't know where you got the grocery store one.

8/31/2009 8:21:30 PM

What about the love of Cheerwine?!?! Do you understand why Cheerwine is amazing?

8/31/2009 8:22:09 PM

I used to like it but cherry flavor makes me sick now son.

i think i may know a legitimate answer to this. prior to mega-chain stores, most dept stores and groceries were referred to by the owner's last names. ie Rose's, King's, Pope's, Legget's, etc.

You have to use crushed peanuts, stupid!

8/31/2009 8:29:38 PM

I find it funny how you call everyone who isn't from the south a Yankee. I'm from Wyoming, we love hunting, cookouts, pickup trucks and whiskey. But you guys call me a Yankee like I came from Manhattan.

8/31/2009 8:33:11 PM

I surprised no one has mentioned the most cherished southern beverage. SWEET TEA!

What up north, y'all ain't got shit on that.

8/31/2009 8:33:52 PM

Chicago = Yankee

8/31/2009 8:35:48 PM

Technically every american is a Yankee....

But I think the reason why people call anyone not from the southeast a yankee is because it's just goes back to the original states that were part of the south...and obviously us southerners don't like change.

i heard columbia university did a study a while back on why black people don't tip, and the outcome was basically because they don't want to.

8/31/2009 8:58:13 PM

What's with the fucking confederate flag bitches? If you love your roots so much show the patriotism and unity in flying the American flag, k?

for real though, i agree with you completely. i guarantee most people who fly or have the confederate flag displayed anywhere probably don't even understand what the confederacy was even about.

This study sounds retarded. Could there be a more obvious outcome? What else would it be, a mental disorder? Some sort of genetic deficiency?

8/31/2009 9:06:18 PM

Dunno if it's been said, but I don't get the whole appeal of sweet tea.

8/31/2009 9:17:13 PM

i dont either and im from here. tastes like water to me, give me something with bubbles or some fruit punch!!1

well one might think there could be a better explanation than "because i don't want to." as shitty as it is, it would make more sense if maybe it was because they don't feel like bartenders/waiters should be paid extra for doing what's expected of them.

8/31/2009 9:33:01 PM

hey look its a north vs south thread!


cheerwinbe and sundrop are both gastonia bred, REPRESENT


black cherry vodka and cheerwine is the shit

sundrop slushies are unbeatable

also the cheerwine and sundrop sherbert ice cream that food lion sells is fantastic

8/31/2009 9:37:05 PM

I don't understand the hatred for bread. It's tasty. It's also the biggest thing on the food pyramid, isn't it? You're supposed to eat a bunch, unless you want to pull an Atkins and die like he did.

It's even closely associated with the birth of human civilization as we know it today. You have to settle down to make bread. Without those settlements, no cities, no literacy, none of that. Of course, I've heard the same thing suggested about beer, but really that's just liquid bread with booze in it.

I am also not familiar with the apostrophe/grocery store phenomenon, and you'd think after living here 24 years I would have run across it. But then again, the one example you can think of is Kroger, which, honestly, I thought had gone extinct like a decade ago.

8/31/2009 9:46:07 PM

Kroger's is still alive and kicking

8/31/2009 9:50:55 PM

ive never heard anyone say kroger's

Seriously? Yankees are the fucking worst drivers in the US. Here in Charlotte I can't go to work without having to pass at least one slow ass w/ New York plates cruising in the left lane (and Michigan plates too. They're only borderline yankees but they seem to have trouble with the left lane concept as well.)

Get out of my state with your troll ass thread.

8/31/2009 9:52:37 PM

Cheerwine was first made in Salisbury, not Gastonia....

8/31/2009 9:54:49 PM

i've experienced a higher percentage of drivers failing to follow the "headlights when it's raining" law in the South compared to anywhere else

8/31/2009 9:57:06 PM

^^yes but there a bottling/distribution center in gastonia, hence why i said bred and not born

8/31/2009 10:01:20 PM

saps theres this new thing. shorter version than arguing

8/31/2009 10:07:25 PM

I promise you it's in Salisbury. Carolina Bottling Corp. which is in Salisbury.

8/31/2009 10:09:42 PM

wait...cheerwine and sundrop arent made by the same company?


there is definitely a sundrop bottling plant in gastonia, which i would think it would bottle cheerwine as well, could be wrong though

[Edited on August 31, 2009 at 10:12 PM. Reason : .]

8/31/2009 10:11:32 PM

No, sundrop is part of Sundrop Bottling Corp. which is actually in TN.

8/31/2009 10:13:47 PM

It's already been said, but Cheerwine wass born and bred in Salisbury you fucking cunt. The headquarters and bottling plant are still there. Don't try our steal our thunder with your Gastonia bullshit. Thank you

8/31/2009 10:14:05 PM

8/31/2009 10:15:05 PM

oic, well sundrop is gastonia bred


salisbury sucks but cheerwine is great
