Auburn is more my style. The people are much more southern, well mannered, the girls are prettier...there's just too much yankee/Atlanta presence in Athens. Plus Auburn is a lot more politically conservative, which I like.
I thought of this thread today at internship when every man I was around today (3 of them) all opened the door for me and let me walk through first...like, they went out of their way to make sure they opened the door for me. Not everyone may agree with it, but I love southern hospitality!
This brings back memories of my 11th-grade U.S. history teacher, a no-nonsense type who had no reservations about calling out the unruly. If someone was talking while she was trying to lecture, she'd just point at them and say, "Poor home training." That, and "Precious, shut up."
