No all northern cities follow the NYC formula for the most part. I remember a Chicago dude on CNN laughing at a dude who was claiming Chicago but was from a suburb right outside of it.

He was trying to clown someone from Evanston. You can’t really clown someone from Evanston though.

Chicago has over 300 suburbs and the collective area is called Chicagoland. So suburbanites will say they from Chicago when talking to people out of town. When talking to people in the area, you can be more specific.

It’s can be a bit more complicated with black folks though, especially those living in the suburbs, because most of their families lived in Chicago for generations, and just moved to the burbs within the past 25-30 years. If all your people still in the city (95% of them are), you grew up still going in an out of the city, I don’t really care if you still claim Chicago. All of our families are from there.

Atlanta is different though because it’s a city of transplant. Especially for black people. New York is different because you have a lot of immigrants. Chicago isn’t a black transplant or immigrant city. 99% of the black people there, their families have been in the city for generations and if they left for the burbs within the past 25-30 years, they grew up going back and forth into the city.

For instance me, we had a suburban house, but also had a condo downtown that we went to on the weekends. I say I’m a suburbanite but I can technically say I’m from the city as well. Lots of folks have both city and suburban houses.

Also depends on how long your family been in the city. A person whose family came to the city during the great migration telling a suburban person whose family came to the city before the great migration, that they not from Chicago, can stfu.

Sidenote, why does it seem like black people are the only ones who care about this type of shyt? I'll never understand this shyt :dwillhuh:
Ehhh, Texans are like this, hell most southern states are like this period. Whites who move from the north are still looked at as carpetbaggers for the most part, and they don’t even really associate south Florida with the south.

I mean shyt down here people will greet each other with “Roll Tide” as a way of speaking and acknowledging one another.

remember on king of the hill Hank Hill cried because he was born in New York and not Texas?

To be honest this not a really an issue. It’s just been a debate about do you claim Atanta by the city limits or the metro area.

I'm guessing NYC is the only major city where folks on the outskirts know not to claim there from here. Cause Chicago, LA, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc all have this problem lmao no one from Westchester is saying they're from NYC unless they want to get roasted.
Because Nyc big as fukk and already has 5 boroughs people can claim.

Mitchell Road in Norcross is no joke. A lot of plugs stay in G-Co too. You can find anything from the Mexicans on Buford Hwy heading towards doraville, or you can get on Pleasant Hill and find it from the Koreans

the thing I love about Gwinnett is you gotta have a little money to live out here, so you have nothing but hustlers everywhere

A lot of hoods in Gwinnett just like anywhere there are Black folks from a county and been there since the 30s. They likely from the hood. Lawrenceville got a ton of projects as well as Norcross, Buford, and a shyt ton of places with Black folks period. shyt where they don't got projects is shyt that used to be white like Collins Hill, Snellville outside of the Shiloh area which is basically DeKalb.
