I know what you mean, Dawn, and this is a great summing up of the ambiguity of having roots in the Appalachians. It’s a materially poor but culturally rich heritage, but it took me until high school and reading Look Homeward Angel to appreciate that, though I had been visiting my grandmother outside Asheville all my life.

You'll get that kind of thing from a backwoods education. Um no Michael, and contrary to Eric's statement, it wasn't on purpose, I's just a hillbilly and don'ts knows nothin.

I admit an anti-Southern preference in general; the region, for the most part, has not treated me kindly in my travels. But I have met many terrific people in the south, and, of course, I *love* Mayberry.

It is - Dawn was rather cleverly demonstrating an Appalachian creativity with the language. And we went through more than one Mayberry.

I always thought it was "Y'all come back now, Ya HEAR"

If you're considering archetypes or stereotypes about North Carolina, the top cultural icon would be Andy Griffith and Mayberry. Surely anyone would be proud of that.
