Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 913359, member: 397"] No, it's "Southerner's" trying to make comparison to misfortune that hit "Northerner's"... it has nothing to do with where Syracuse is in the "North" related to the hurricane. I'll relate a story from when we were living in Greenville, South Carolina (I'm from CNY)... my wife worked with a lady that had jury duty. She was on the jury for an armed robbery... and one of the witnesses was being asked to describe his attackers... his response was something to the effect of he was sure that they were "foreigners" and he could tell by their accents. When pressed further on what type of accent they had, he elaborated that they had "Northern" accents... this was within the last 5 years, not a story from 50 years ago... the culture of "North" vs. "South" is still strong even almost 150 years after the last shot was fired in the Civil War.
