I've worked in about 40 States over the years. I've drank beers with a lot of nice people, but some of them were completely ignorant about the world outside of their borders, hell some we're completely ignorant of their own country. I had one guy from Texas argue with me that New England was a State.
I'd say less than 20% knew where Calgary was. You name off any city with 1 million + people in it in the USA and I'll have an idea where it's at.
Maybe Global geography should be a mandatory class down there. I can only blame the education system down there I guess.
Btw, the Southern states are my favorite to work in. Awesome people live down there!
