That. Right there. That’s what’s wrong.

This and live in the right zip code, kids attend the right school, belong to the right club = status for grown adults today. It’s not that different here in the DMV.

+1
Read the post that comes up every year when the private school admissions come out. It is tongue in cheek, but so many people here spend tons of $ on trying to get into the right schools, CCs, etc all so DC will have an advantage.

Most of the stuff these girls are wearing is fake/dupes if you are looking at the Carter and VCA stuff--you can get really good dupes now of those brands (if you want to spend more than typical dupes but less than the real thing there are amazing dupes in real precious metals/stones out there that are pretty much indistinguishable).

The real stuff is the stuff like enewton and Kendra Scott, which are not that expensive and are pretty cheap materials.

That's all you've got when you're former traitors who lost the war.

Did we lose though? Seems like the states of the Old Confederacy (including VA, NC, SC, TN, FL, and TX) are pretty much controlling everything in America right now.

And I think it’s fair to say nobody sees that trend changing in favor of NY/MA/NJ/CT etc any time soon.

I agree blue states are losing because they are fiscally subsidizing these poor, low-educated red states. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

Yes dear. Now go shake your pom poms. The blue States have some work to do to help support you.

+1 if it wasn't for the rich blue states subsidizing the poor red states, those colleges would probably be in worse shape. AL is like bottom 10 in every academic measure.

The Greek system in the SEC, particularly in the Deep South states, is one of the most lucrative networks you can plug into. Joining a top-tier sorority at Alabama puts you at the front of the line to date and potentially marry the fraternity men who will be running the banks, law firms, and investment firms in 5-10 years in cities like Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, etc.

It's a swanky and rarefied world, and becoming a part of it often starts on bid night freshman year.

But why would anyone want to live in these cities?

Warm weather, proximity to the coast, friendly people. But the biggest is cost of living. Who wants to live in a shoebox townhouse in NoVA when at the same income level you could have a 4,000 square foot house on half an acre with a Bimmer or Cybertruck in any number of thriving cities in the South?

The inability for anyone to admit that areas of the South are nice is kind of mind boggling. I live in DC and love it. But Charlotte, Atlanta, Huntsville, the research triangle, Nashville are just as good if not better. Beautiful homes, incredible shopping and restaurants, thriving and diverse culturally (esp. Atlanta), burgeoning industries across the board - govt to tech to finance to creative, and some have really strong academic medical centers as well. Artistically, there are still pockets of affordability that are attracting creative types and creative industry.
I can't even buy deodorant at CVS without getting "let into" the shelves. Quality of life here has dropped pretty dramatically in the past twenty years.
Take the blinders off and put any of these cities up against a dying NE or Mid-Atlantic city (I'm sorry Baltimore) and you can see that there is a clear set of winners. The SE is trending with the young people and with industry. You like to remind the South that they lost the Confederate war, which is true, and they should stop celebrating. Well, I could say the same for the small minded, NE, liberal intellectual elites. Your moment is over.

DP. Not in the cities, they didn’t. At least not in Charlotte, Atlanta or Nashville. And at least some of your neighbors also voted for the moron.

Enjoy. I have spent plenty of time in Florida and I don't want to raise my family down in the south. But you go ahead.

Have you spent any time in Huntsville? It's pretty awful. I'm there for work a lot. Yes, it's cheap--there's a reason for that. BTW I don't hate the south, I grew up in Nashville. Before you put that on your list of affordable cities, check out the real estate prices--not that cheap.

As for being let into the deodarant case at CVS? I live in McLean. It's not locked here at the stores.
