The region of the country you come from does make a difference. Coming from a small Midwest town not that far from Kentucky---life generally was pretty laid back. When we moved north to a big big city---"things" were different.

We might as well get over it---Florida is not New York, Jersey or Chicago. Thank God for that!!
