My guess would have been BOSTON. You nailed it with the attitude of BOSTON, I've been there. I have to say anywhere we stopped in MASS. was RUDE. Most of the time I could have a Jack Nicholson moment with their nonsense and bring them down a peg, which then they slammed my food down on the table in disgust, or slam the ticket on the table with "here you figure it out", no tip. They get kind of testy when ripped by a southerner, you know.

NY well its NY, but when asked a question most were gracious enough to try to help. Only problem I encountered, none of them knew out to get out of their own burrough, let alone NYC. They could not tell you how to get on the Interstate. But they were nice about being ignorant.

Crossed over into N.C., and we stopped for coffee at a quick stop. First thing I heards was, "How Ya'll Doing", OH MY we are home, those sweet words, and you know it did not take any energy for her to be sweet, takes a lot to be RUDE.

Travel between boroughs among those who live, and not just work, in New York City is as unusual as travel between states is. And each borough does have a population larger than a dozen or more states (except “suburban” Staten Island, which by all rights should have ended up as part of New Jersey).

How Y’all Doin’? That IS “Hi” or “Hello” down south.

That is the way you have to answer the phone down in Memphis. Probably pretty much of the “south” south.
