    And I can drive a couple miles to a sign that says “Welcome to Tennessee, Gateway of the Deep South.”

    You tell people they’re part of the “upper” south and they’ll set your car on fire.

      Tbf the existence of a “Deep” South implies the existence of a “Shallow” South (or in this case “Upper.”) It does have to start somewhere.

        That’s not true? Just because there’s a Great Lakes region doesn’t mean there’s a Mediocre Lakes, or Lesser Lakes region. Just because there’s a Mid(dle) West doesn’t mean there’s an Eastern West region.

        Also, this is surprisingly fun.
