How does the coli feel about Edge Cities?

[DrX]

I'm just a city dude....that's I'm built for the concrete jungle...I love the personality of city ppl...more sincere

The suburbs are mad boring. Especially if you're black. Being surrounded by nothing but cacs 24/7 who do nothing but walk their dogs and cut their grass. Everything closes @ 10pm. Its just too organized for me. I would love to live in a big city being surrounded by diversity, never seeing the same type of person twice!!!

I'll never move to the boonies. I need a 250k+ city with at least a 25% black population

Aka atl?

I've heard this term years ago, but I never been to one nor have I figured out what makes one an "edge city" so to speak.

Raleigh NC is an example of a Edge city...

ATL is where I'll be moving in 2 years. But I'm in VA Beach/Norfolk right now

Too small and not busy enough to truly be the city, yet too big and too busy to be the burbs.




An edge city will have bodegas, a hood section, lots of the food options and usually a huge mall and commercial buildings but also has suburban qualities and areas.

?????????!!!!!!

Coli Brehs from DFW metroplex, What the hell would qualify as a Edge City using this nikka's definition? That just sounds like another suburb to me.

By @Bishop KG Dinero logic. I guess it would be the Cedar Hill and Desoto area.

Edit: Arlington would probably be considered an "Edge City".

Actually Arlington is a decent example of an edge city

Edge City just seems to be an Immediate Suburb & the OP just doesn't want use word suburb.

I live in a diverse suburb. Non-Hispanic Cacs are only 36% of the population.

OK, I just re-read you description. Too small to be a city, too big to be a suburb. At what Population size is a surrounding city too big to be a subrub to you?
