Drunkard Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I choose lower seats because I like to watch the game that way, not for the company. Same here, although that's easier to swing when you only go to 1 or 2 games a year (like I used to when I'd go to Raleigh to see the Sabres). My preference is the back row in the 100's section because it's easy to see the entire sheet of ice and it's quick access to the beer lines, the pisser, and the concourse when I need to go outside and grab a smoke.

They still let you go outside to smoke at Canes games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you cross over into Pennsylvania you are in the south and you can smoke anywhere. They allow smoking on planes just flying over Pennsylvania.

WildCard Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 South Of Virginia and not including Florida. Gotta include Virginia. What else would it be? I could see everything south of West Virginia. And yeah 100% no Florida. Has to be east of Arkansas, except Louisiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) They still let you go outside to smoke at Canes games? I haven't been in a few years now, but I assume so. North Carolina is home to all the RJ Reynolds brands of tobacco (Wistons, Camels, Salem, Pall Mall, Doral, etc.) so I imagine they won't want to ostracize us folks with black lungs.

Drunkard Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The south is kind of a relative term. Richmond was the southern capital during the Confederacy but I've heard people in southern Viriginia claim that Richmond and all parts north of Richmond were considered the North to them. Then you talk to some yocal from Alabama or Georgia and they consider people in North Carolina and Virginia to be Yankees for sure. It's all a matter of perspective. The Mason Dixon line puts Marlyland, DC, and Virginia all in the south, but I see Maryland and Pennsylvania as more Northern states than Southern ones.

Eleven Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Virginia is definitely the South. UVA is even nicknamed "the Harvard of the South." DC is right in the middle, which is why Washington is said to have the perfect blend of Northern hospitality and Southern efficiency.

Drunkard Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) It's kind of similar to the term upstate New York. Someone in Watertown (for example) probably doesn't consider a town like Ithaca (another example) to be upstate New York. I was born in Cobleskill though and we've always said we are from Upstate, NY, although that might be just because most people hear New York and automatically assume NYC so upstate is really just a modifer (like central or western) to differentiate from NYC.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The Mason - Dixon Line really has nothing to do with the South, especially the Confederacy, no? Was it not a line surveyed to settle a border dispute between the colonies it divides drawn some 100 years before the Civil War? Especially when PA outlawed slavery. They needed a clear border and the line is still that border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hey I live in Northen Westchester and people from Manhattan think I live upstate. Ive always maintained you need to live north of Middleton to be considered upstate. But these folks dont have a clue how big NYS actually is. The census on this very discussion https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/maps-data/maps/reference/us_regdiv.pdfPS TX, OK, Ark and LA are not really part of the old south. Use to say to and old boss of mine from TX Habblah Espanol... can you say Santa Anna... we can always give you back. Furthermore, Im from NY... we kicked you ass once... we can do it again and now NYers have infiltrated TX so foget about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed a clear border and the line is still that border. Traditionally, the Mason-Dixon line is the South (see also: Dixie). Since the US Civil War, Maryland has been disowned as they didn't commit treason against the US. As the Northern Virginia suburbs have filled up with city people, many people don't consider it the South, but anywhere outside that area is pretty Southern in practice. West Virginia is not the South, by nature of them seceding from Traitor Virginia during the war and joining the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
