As a lifelong Floridian, I was taught that “Yankees” meant anyone north of Virginia for the northeast & anyone north of Kentucky for the Midwest. I was also taught Snowbirds were an essential part of our economy & should be valued & treated with respect.
Oh, & Granny always said, “Every old person drives like they’re the only one on the road, they can’t see & can’t hear, so just smile & stay out of their way!” Good advice, I think.
