No more red state histrionics, racial hypercognizance, scarcity of culinary diversity, stifling humidity, paucity of musical panoply, inundation of second hand smoke, rebuke of all but the narrowest "norm."
 
No clouds of mosquitoes and "Who are YOUR people?" and snide remarks about the lack of superficial beauty beyond the South. No rebel flags and white columns and endless pick-ups/SUVs and ghosts of the Confederacy.
