ATLANTA, Ga. – Movies have made Southern hospitality renowned all over, but nobody does it better than Georgia, which took top billing in a recent survey by Twiddy.com that ranked Southern states for their unique charms and down-home goodness.

According to a survey of more than 2,000 Americans, Georgia easily boasts the most Southern Hospitality in the South. The Peach State received 26 percent of the vote, followed runner-up Louisiana (17 percent), Texas (13 percent), South Carolina (8 percent), Alabama (8 percent), Tennessee (7 percent), North Carolina (5 percent), Mississippi (4 percent) and Florida (3 percent).
