Alabama has its crime problems, but it isn't as bad as The Carolinas as far as I know. So I would choose Bama, but if I was a stoner I would pick Carolina.

Obviously uneducated.

Not really, The Carolinas are a drug corridor.

You'll have to provide some hard facts to back that up, because I don't see that to be true at all, except for an occasional bust on I-85 of someone smuggling drugs from Miami to locations in the Northeast.  Believe me that does NOT make the Carolinas overrun by drugs at all.

I-95 is also a major drug corridor, and a lot of these drugs get bought and sold along the way. I know some people that left Alabama for South Carolina because it was harder for them to sell dope in Bama.

All that tells me is that Alabama probably has a drug problem.  If that's the only reason to think the Carolinas are full of drug dealers then I don't feel any worse living here.  Good, you had me thinking I wouldn't be able to get any sleep tonight.

Exodus, some data to back up your assertions would be nice.

I also voted South Carolina, because I like the Atlantic coast.  I like the sunrise over the ocean.  Besides- I have only been to Alabama once and that was only in the EXTREME northeastern corner, where I-59 crosses over from Georgia.  I am sure it is a nice state however.  I have family in upstate SC in the Anderson area.  They used to live in Easley.  We visited them there and I loved it.  I have also been to Myrtle Beach before- loved it too, but it was too crowded.  I actually prefer Wilmington, NC - just up from there.

My aunt and uncle went to Muscle Shoals, AL a couple of years ago - they went to some sort of theme park there.  Seemed they enjoyed themselves immensely.  

I want to visit Columbia as well as Charleston - but I also want to visit Birmingham.

An old topic and not trying to ignite the fire here again,

Fayetteville is the halfway point between NYC and Miami as there is a SERIOUS drug trafficking problem out there (many overnight stays occur out there). Also, Eastern & Western NC are seeing meth problems that are growing at epidemic levels.

Thanks for bumping this ridiculous thread back to the front page.  

P.S., Although it's a year after the argument occurred, EVERY corridor is a "drug corridor."

I don't think it's neccessary the  Carolinas. I-95 runs up and down the east coast.  That would fall for every state on the atlantic coast. I've read stories about Va. and Florida also.

Yep.  When I lived in Texas and made the frequent drive to NC I got stopped no less than 3 times in Mississippi and Alabama not for speeding but because it is a drug corridor and they were suspicious of the Texas tags, that was the story anyway.

=============

As to this poll, think I would choose SC simply because of an inner ear kind of thing - I can sense when I am not "east" anymore, which to me is roughly along the appalachian line, ATL being right on the edge of that, for example, Nashville beyond it and therefore having a somewhat "foreign" feeling, ditto the western part of PA, etc.
