One of my favorite life vignettes was watching a mother and her young son in Manassas (right outside of DC). She was introducing her son to the store clerk, and in a rather thick drawl said, "Say hey to Miz Louanne, Roy Lee," to which he stuck out his 3-year old hand and said, "Hey, Miz Louanne."
I promise you, I'm not making up the names, either. But it does go to show that, as said again and again, there are pockets in some states that had a decidedly more southern style to everyday living than others.
