"England Metropolitan Area"

I've seen this for big US cities and assume it's partly a job-searching thing but....England is probably a little too big for that

[Valmy]

England is leaving the Union?

Would Scotland still want to leave if it was just them, Wales, and Northern Ireland?

Logging it it looks like they don't want London, UK anymore. I've three options:
South & West Hampstead, England
London, England
and that aforementioned one

[Admiral Yi]

Border states are like that.  I would say part of Kentucky is solidly North/Midwest, and part of it definitely South.

I'd say Kentucky is part of the south and Missouri is part of the Midwest.

Sal, I like Larch's suggestion too.  Avoid Alabama and Mississippi.

[Barrister]

"the South" to me means the states of the Confederacy.  Which means Kentucky aint part of the south.

[The Brain]

"The South" means non-Vikings. Weaklings with poorly guarded gold.

[PDH]

"The South" is Los Angeles, a loathsome pit of vileness and evil.

Kentucky to Californians is "Back east somewhere"

Take care, Sal.

That road trip sounds like really great fun, but foreigners driving around the South...    Be careful with rural sheriffs!

They'll be fine. It's honestly not as bad as people claim down there. I mean, out-of-towner stops happen more often than they should, but it's not like the movies.

At least not anymore. My grandparents used to drive out from Okieland to see my uncle in Miami during the 1960s and their stories of how unwelcome they were driving through the South were amazing. A threatening glower and a terse inquiry on how long they intended to stay was the usual response whenever they stopped for any reason. Two middle aged white people with Oklahoma plates were being mistaken for freedom riders I guess.

Surely the men of the Orphan Brigade would have disagreed with you.

I would guess the Confederate government of Kentucky would have as well, though they spent most of the war in exile in Tennessee.

[Valmy]

The Confederate Government was a bunch of illegitimate posers whose authority only extended as far as General Bragg's soldiers' bayonets (which wasn't very far).

And the men of the Louisville Legion made sure of it

West Virginia and Kentucky are not southern states no matter how much they want to be sometimes.

Thanks for all the tips!

And for the potential Civil War hijack.

The route or the eating? 

Yes.

Good answer!

Louisiana has the best food in the union, IMO.

I do like southern cuisine (I wish Spanish US-themed restaurants weren't so overwhelmingly "burger & steaks" cliched), but I find some of the things they do to seafood rather objectionable   

Anyway, best food in the union is probably the Italian/Japanese restaurants in large cities
