Comparison and Contrast: Southern and Midwestern States
The Southern and Midwestern states are very different in terms of their physical characteristics, their economic and agricultural bases, and their urbanization. For people moving from one place to the other, or doing business in states where they are not familiar, this can be a bit of culture shock.

Not surprisingly, these innovations have provided small town police departments with access to the same level of online resources as their larger urban counterparts.
