I forgot to mention Jackson and Mobile.
Mobile is one of my favorite places in the South, weirdly enough. I suggest checking it out if you want to live near the ocean.
I'm not sure what my infatuation with Jackson is, but it's also a great town.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
