It'd be nice if there were a Regional sub-thread for the Mid-South area. "Southeast" covers such a large area. Maybe it could be a sub under that? Just a thought.

The Mid-South is an informally-defined region of the United States, usually thought to be anchored by the Memphis metropolitan area and consisting of West Tennessee, North Mississippi, Southern Missouri, Western Kentucky, Central, Northeast, and Northwest Arkansas, and Northwest Alabama.[2] Southern Illinois is sometimes included in this region.
Or East South Central States?
