They also don't believe me when I tell them there's practically one on every street corner, either.

This made me smile! My daughter (we're from the mid-Atlantic area) has been completely won over by the South (I believe she was always really a Southerner, she just was living in the wrong place). The one thing, however, that she does miss from home is Dunkn' Donuts coffee. She just got home from school last night (only home for 2 1/2 weeks as she wants to quickly return to school and work in the admissions office) and Dunkin' Donuts was one of the first things she mentioned.
