I'm starting to see the difference between north and south now [View all]

I'm without a car right now and see in my problem the difference between north and south.

Here I have half the shop offering me rides for free until I get a car...in Detroit everyone would tell me life sucks and leave me standing.

Here I am waiting on my ride early so we can check on some fencing for him...in the north you would get told to fuck yourself by your neighbors if you asked for help even if you planned to help him with his fenceing

I LOVE the south
