I've lived in small New England towns for most of my life, but I lived near Chicago when I was in college, and I lived in Nashville for 3 years when I was in my 20's. I think it's awfully hard to generalize. Sometimes I think people in the South just seem nicer not because they actually are, but because they have this colloquial way of using words like "hon" or "honey," even with strangers. But I also agree with Mal that my own mental state may have alot to do with how I perceive others. If I'm withdrawn and feeling isolated, it's tons harder to feel a connection to people and at such times I may just see them as being unfriendly or seemingly disapproving.
