South Georgia or south Carolina.

Small towns are the best bet, or go like me and live no town and take a leak in your yard freely, without someone wondering "hey what's he doin' over there ?"

Having just moved from a metropolitan area (Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads) to the mountains (Woodlawn, VA) the difference is night and day and requires some getting used to. My neighbors are quick to help when needed, tolerant, and everyone here seems to have time for me when I need help. Of course, I am only a 30-minute drive from Andy Griffith's home town. Plus, it helps that I grew up in the mountains before I moved to Virginia Beach, so for me it is "coming home" and not a flatlander trying out the mountains. There aren't as many places to fish for bass here as there are back in Virginia Beach, but that just means that I will learn them better. The people here are the friendliest I have ever met.

Florida is the only place I can think of where the further south you go, the more northern you get.

Saw a car with a Alaska license plate a couple months ago and see cars with license plates from New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,California, etc almost every single day.

Texas! Southern hospitality!

Thanks  for all the replies. Lots of them I know to be true.I wish I could stand the heat/humidity better.Not ready to make a move yet,but I`ll be fishing where ever it is.

Again thanks

If I could afford to move you would see a Pennsylvania license plate driving past with the driver smiling and waving at everyone. In about 2 months we will have 40 degree temps and with no luck...snow! Coming up, 5 months of no fishing. I'll take grumpy neighbors over that any day.

I have seen Pennsylvania license plates numerous times and almost every single state license plate.Many of these people are visiting here for vacation and a percentage of them are moving down here to stay.I agree with you about how close to freezing(or below freezing) temperatures is not enjoyable, I would also move South to avoid that type of weather.It does get very hot/humid down here,but even the hottest day isn't that bad.You can always go to the beach to cool off and relax.

Spent a lot of time working in Oregon, outside of the hipsters in Portland they are some of the nicest folks I've ever been around.

Today is a day that makes me proud to be where I am from. My mother was in accident today. Someone rear ended her and started a chain reaction. I was less than a mile away. I got there before the emt's or cops. By the time I was there 10 people were there checking to make sure everyone was ok. I had made a bunch of food for our church homecoming and my mom was crying saying that the food would go bad as it needed put in the fridge. A stranger that did not even go to our church offered to take the food for us.

Then the cops came. I was trying to put moms car back together with bailing twine just to get it home and I did not have my knife me. It honestly is the first time that I have not had with me for years. It was just one of those days. Anyway I asked one of the police officers if they had a knife I could use and he just looked at me and threw me his blade.

I am sure that is against regulations, but he was a good kid. Needless to say there are still good people out there and I am thankful a bunch post here.

sorry for the rant

My home town (Elkton VA) is a small town about an hour from Charlottesville and the people here are really nice. I live in the country so my neighbors always help me and I help them . North and South Carolina are also really laid back, the worst has to be Florida in the Orlando/Tampa Bay Area.

Just moved to Florida a few days ago and already some jerk in a Lexus flipped my wife off because he couldn't get around her in traffic. Funny how little boys like that don't do that when I'm with her. I would have no problem "addressing" his attitude problem.

Just saw a Wyoming license plate parked in a supermarket close to my house. Nobody will drive that long of distance unless they really want to move here.
