1. Southern hospitality is in fact a thing. People are nice and conversational. We went to a rest stop where they had people to sort of usher us inside to get brochures and free coffee.
2. Afternoon thunderstorms. It seems like every other place I go has thunderstorms for an hour or so in the afternoon. The sky can be clear as the day is long but the skeys will go dark and poor rain without fail.
3. Sunshowers are quite common. Though down here they have a lot of different names for it. My personal favorite is, the devil ia beating his wife.
4. You can't be bad at ordering. ALL southern food is good food. (unhealthy, yeah. But soooo good!!)
