question is pretty vague, so ill detail a bit more. im from northern va and va and nc are commonly considered southern states. however, the big cities in these regions, (notably charlotte, raleigh/research triangle, richmond, and hampton roads) do not feel southern at all despite their surrounding rural areas being very culturally southern. there are so many other big cities, like jacksonville, atlanta, and cities in the texas triangle that still feel uniquely southern.
