My favorite "definition" of the South is Dr. Reed's Dixie Map...Y'all are probably familiar with it but whatever...
The dots represent number of stores (of any type) that are named Dixie. Of course it does omit Arkansas to some degree and then make parts of Idaho and Utah to be southern, but whatever. Flaws.
I wonder what they did with "Dixie Cafe". I mean, that's a chain. Do they have those outside of the South?

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
