... and I have been in the best shops and restaurants on 5th Avenue, North Michigan, Ghiradelli Square, Buckhead, Naples, Worth Avenue, Seattle ... and where I go, the queers lay low ... evidently, they are a bit more refined than the queers that you are used to. heh heh heh

BTW, the "South" is the up and coming place, in case you didn't know. The "rust belt" has reached entropy and is in serious decline ... that would include Chicago too. The East and West Coast are rapidly bankrupting themselves, accompanied by a deteriorating infrastructure. Crap, man, Harrisburg PA can't even foot the bill for their waste processing center, and that's the rear end seat of gummint in Pennsylvania. The fresh water system in California is in serious jeopardy, as it is in the New York City area.

Cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Birmingham, Orlando, Raleigh, Richmond, Greenville-Spartanburg, Tampa are entering their Golden Era. Your way-out-of-date stereotyping of the South reveals your lack of awareness of what's coming down, dude.
