Kansas is flatter than a vegan woman's chesticles. Therefore, there are no hills for hillbillies to roam around in to cut up tourists into meatsauce pies.

Rednecks, on the other hand, abound, except for in Lawrence and Kansas City, where a semblance of civilization exists, as long as you do not explore a street that has a number in the hundreds.

More like the South's Greenwich Village. At least, that's Houston, which is more or less a big cow patty of Southern trash and Northern business interests mashed into a creamy, smelly paste.

So where do you guys figure that the South ends and the West begins? It's got to be in Texas somewhere, all other things aside.

from my experience, Texas is really its own place.  I'd place the western edge at Arkansas and Louisiana.

East Texas (Henderson, Longview, Marshall, Nagodoches, down toward Jasper) is pretty much indistinguishable from Louisiana north of deep Cajun country.  Most of those folks consider a drive into Shreveport of Texarkana "going to the city".  My maternal grandfather's family was all over that area, tho many of them have gravitated to the Metroplex over the past 40 years or so.  There's definitely some redneck in that area, but it's not stereotypical west Texas cattle-and-tumbleweeds-and-oil hicks.

People would rather go to Marfa than Houston.

At least, I would. The longer I live here the more I don't like it, and it's been 21 years! Can't beat the job market, but mine is pretty flexible, so when my wife retires in a few years...who knows, but we can likely move anywhere we want.

Texas is a mash-up of many distinct cultures. Along the Rio Grande you pretty much have Mexico (take your pick as to which side of the border). Dallas tries hard to be urban and metrosexual, but the only thing it truly succeeds at is traffic congestion. Houston likes to think it's progressive and happening, with it's "first ever lesbian mayor," which the media loves to bring up every chance it gets (the lesbian mayor that is fighting hard to give "transgendered people" (:2funny: I can't type that with a straight face, color me intolerant if you must) the right to use whatever bathroom they want, no matter their plumbing...because you know, there's not more important things to spend your time on here). East Texas is pretty much as Brant says. West Texas is super-hick meshed with super-oil. South Texas (north of Rio Mexico) is pretty much redneck cowboy cattle country.

Lubbock and Amarillo are pretty much Twilight Zone episodes in the middle of nowhere, but at least Lubbock has Texas Tech while Amarillo has...uhh...has...the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame, I guess.

Amarillo has the world's largest helium deposits

I've been through Marfa. On my way to...well...some nameless place in Big Bend country and back. I'm convinced a lot of the people living around there are hiding from the government.
