I know that my cousin's husband who has never been to Louisiana had the notion that it was all swamp and alligators, but I can attest to, as well as others, that is not true, we have hardwood forest, tons of pasture land, and more.

In some ways there are misconceptions about the South, as well.

What about England,

Australia,

and Canada,

i lived in las vegas for ten years. LOTS of misconceptions about vegas.... the two biggest? a) there are no churches, and b) prostitution is legal. both of those are wrong, let me assure you! God is alive and well in las vegas. there are more churches than 7-11's in that city! and they're usually packed. and prostitution is not legal anywhere in the county (also not in the county where reno is.) the legal brothels are so far out in the desert, it's usually about a 20 minute drive to the nearest gas station.

I live in Texas. The only cowboys you'll see wear stars on their helmets. If you want to see cowboys, go to Washington state.

Helmets? or Western style hats. Very interesting.

that would be blasphemy in Texas!!!

:biggrinflip:

It is our national religion to attend Friday night high school football, cheer the Longhorns on (boo Aggies) Saturday, and rush out of church to watch the Cowboys on Sunday

That's why I go to a congregation on Shabbat, so I don't have to miss a minute of it.

(actually I've only been able to watch a couple of games per season over the last decade, but you get the point)

Being born and raised here in Arkansas I've heard it all. Some folks are surprised to see we wear shoes, well, sometimes. LOL

p.s. I was not related to my wife before we wed. lol
