Re: Just wondering if the South still exists?

said by MIRV:

I never considered Texas 'the south'. That's more 'the west'.
Ft. Worth claims it's "Where the West Begins". Dallas is more "Southern". Then, there's West, which is a town on I-35 between Waco and the Metroplex (Dallas/Ft. Worth) and it is Czech. Just east of Round Rock, there are many Swede descendants and, until recently, some of the church services were still in Swedish.

As many times as I've been through West, I've never stopped and gotten any kolaches.

BTW, stupid spell check doesn't understand "kolaches".

That's OK. Most people don't understand kolaches either. When I first moved "up north" to Fort Worth, people here thought a sausage roll was a kolache! I had to explain that a kolache was a pastry with fruit in the middle and what they were dealing with was a pig in a blanket.
Isn't this a fun state?

At least Wikipedia knows about them, including West - »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolache.
