Around 2016, I was doing a job near the coast in Georgia. Now, I love Georgia, but in my opinion, Florida's coast tends to be prettier. With that said, the next door neighbor saw me in the yard and came out to talk. He had a heavy New York accent. He turned out to be the friendliest guy you could ever hope to meet. When he introduced himself, he followed the introduction with, "You can tell by my accent that I'm not from around here. I'm one of those Yankees". We talked and joked around some. I finally asked him why he decided to move south. He said he had to get away from the northern winters. I asked why he didn't move to Florida since it had the prettier coast. This is what he said, "Oh, we checked Florida out first, but to be honest, there's just too many damn Yankees down there."
