In addition, the only thing I can add is the food element. I can't speak for New England, except clam chowder perhaps, but the South has its very own rendition of food associated with the region that is more than just a dish.

When you get in the historic, charming towns/cities in the original 13, there's a unique vibe in many of them. The average person tends to be more down to earth and less materialistic. The downtowns in these small cities/towns are what get me- They aren't overrun with chain restaurants/shops and traffic- they're historic, walkable and the people are more laid back. Overall I think the towns in the NE/SE have better groomed yards- The vegetation is beautiful.
The combination of history, vegetation, and sense of community that surrounds you is something you just have to appreciate.
I'm not certain I totally agree with your post, but it does have it's merits. I find it funny though that some people (not you) will often only mention New England and other Northeast states when talking about those towns...when forgetting that the South was a part of the original 13 too. The big cities may be different north to south in the East but, the small towns (particularly those that date back to colonial times) have a lot of similarities.

Of course.
I haven't had the opportunity to visit many small historic towns in the south, but I know there's plenty. Charleston is a prime example- It's not "a small town" or anything, but Providence and Charleston have their small city "historic charm" very much in tact. I'm bringing up Charleston because I've been there.

Visit Savannah they have one of the largest historic districts in the nation.

I've been wanting to visit Savannah for a while now. I've driven through it, but didn't spend a credible amount of time there.
