Hey, it's all relative, as by happy coincidence it turns out that my character was just born in St. Louis and grew up in Alabama. Is that Southern enough?

It's strange, but because of the impact of American culture through television, film, literature and music, there's quite a set image of most parts of the United States over here. Though I know where Florida is geographically, the image of the state definitely isn't one of being a stereotypical southern state, if you know what I mean?
