Yes Ma'am, there are a lot of good things about the South, and as Gnu says people are people.

One of the best folk clubs ever is in Huntsville Alabama. And the catfish and hushpuppies (sorry hu-uu-ush puppies) are out of this world.

But there are still a few things that could be changed. In the town (village) we lived in, you couldn't buy a beer. Now that's downright uncivilized! And we had a segregated cab service in our town. It just happened that one of the first of my neigbors that I met down there was a black cab driver. So when I needed a cab I gave him a call. The white cab driver (also a nice guy) turns up and says Tom told me you needed a cab.
