The Other Southerner is dedicated to those of us that have moved to the south from other locations. After living all over the world, I finally settled down in one spot – and became the “Other Southerner”. Although my roots are shallow, my love for my chosen home with its friendly people, beautiful landscapes, rich culture and diverse history runs deep. But I’ve some times offended or stumbled (ah hmmm – down right embarrassed myself) because I didn’t understand the nuances of “being” southern. This site is for me – and YOU. I hope to hear from you about your experiences too – respectful comments or emails are always appreciated. http://theothersoutherner.com
