Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
Bay Area breh but lived in Maryland for hella years. People who make good money in the DC suburbs are cocky as fukk.:unimpressed: I'm talking about the mayo slathered ones born and raised in the suburbs. They think they are better than everyone because of where they went to college and what non-sexy government job that allows them to drive a Tesla and pretend they are rich as Jeff Bezos. They think they flex harder than anyone on the planet. They were wearing basic ass clothes and had no swag a few years ago and now they are super sayin level hypebeasts because they downloaded their style from the net.

But the catch is that these cocky upper middle class folks in Montgomery and PG County think they are DC folks and barely identify as Marylanders if at all. They will say "I'm from DC" when they've never lived in DC limits their entire lives. :what:PG County a little different because many folks from the old DC moved to PG after they got good jobs and moved on up to the eastside (of the beltway) to a deluxe apartment not far from dipper smoke in the sky. DC/PG folks come off as snobby calling everybody a bama. But hella DC/PG brehs cool if you manage to hack the matrix and find yourself in their social circle. DC/PG brehs act like that because they don't like outsiders. It's understandable because DC is one of the top three most gentrified cities in America, if not the most gentrified. Give outsiders an inch and they take a mile. DC brehs have experienced this worse than most.

Baltimore folks is the coolest black folk of any of the East Coast city in my opinion. Baltimore people know how to have basic conversations. Baltimore people also have manners, which is rare in DC or NYC.

If anything NYers are by the far the cockiest. NYers look down on everyone... Yet refuse to admit their culture has been blatantly inspired by other places. NYers call everyone country... Yet bang Cali and Chicago gangs and copy the rap style of down south and even London rappers. NYers under 40 years old want credit for creating a form of music... 50 years ago. :mjlol: And just me typing this will generate so much NY butthurtt. :unimpressed:


The only one clearly butt hurt here is you. CLEARLY!

:laff:

I'm from where Petey come from
What’s funny is that it was a native DC nikka who even coined the term DMV back in the early 2000’s:pachaha: But you always see DC nikkas running they mouth thinking it was a Murrland nikka, or “Meezy” as they like to call us, that created the term when it was literally one of their own, dude was a radio personality or DJ too lmaooooo

Also, I visited UMD’s College Park campus today for the first time in years and actually explored it. shyt’s the most beautiful campus I’ve ever step foot on, I can see why that shyt definitely is the pride of the state :wow:

Born and raised in NorfEas DC :myman: 42nd and Gault Pl NE to be exact. Now I own a home in Nap town (Annapolis). It took me some getting used to it but I actually like it out here now (can’t believe I just said that :snoop:)

Actually it was Big Tigger that coined the term DMV and he’s from CO-OP City (BX)

As you already know we don’t even say DMV, them out of towners (cacs) use that term.

But in the end it’s the cacs that love and worship the MD state flag :mjpls:




NOT US.... :scust:

We got a Sheetz around here? Lol

Here in PG, we got both WaWa and Royal Farms. RF is originally from Bmore and you can find hella branches throughout the Bmore area and over on the Eastern Shore.
I know. I’m saying I never heard anyone have a heated debate over which is better.

A lot of interesting history with the state flag, Lord Baltimore etc

Coat of arms of The 2nd Baron Baltimore



The Red and White portion of the MD Flag is a nod to the Confederates.

:mjpls:

Despite the antiquity of its design, the Maryland flag is of post-Civil War origin. Throughout the colonial period, only the yellow-and-black Calvert family colors are mentioned in descriptions of the Maryland flag. After independence, the use of the Calvert family colors was discontinued. Various banners were used to represent the state, although none was adopted officially as a state flag. By the Civil War, the most common Maryland flag design probably consisted of the great seal of the state on a blue background. These blue banners were flown at least until the late 1890s.

The Calvert family coat of arms was reintroduced in Maryland in an 1854 law that called for a new great seal based on the Calvert design. The seal created pursuant to this act contained several inaccuracies, and in 1876 the General Assembly provided for a new great seal that conformed closely to the Calvert original.

Reintroduction of the Calvert coat of arms on the great seal of the state was followed by a reappearance at public events of banners in the yellow-and-black Calvert family colors. Called the "Maryland colors" or "Baltimore colors," these yellow-and-black banners lacked official sanction of the General Assembly, but appear to have quickly become popular with the public as a unique and readily identifiable symbol of Maryland and its long history.

The red-and-white Crossland arms gained popularity in quite a different way. Probably because the yellow-and-black "Maryland colors" were popularly identified with a state which, reluctantly or not, remained in the Union, Marylanders who sympathized with the South adopted the red-and-white of the Crossland arms as their colors. Following Lincoln's election in 1861, red and white "secession colors" appeared on everything from yarn stockings and cravats to children's clothing. People displaying these red-and-white symbols of resistance to the Union and to Lincoln's policies were vigorously prosecuted by Federal authorities.

During the war, Maryland-born Confederate soldiers used both the red-and-white colors and the cross bottony design from the Crossland quadrants of the Calvert coat of arms as a unique way of identifying their place of birth. Pins in the cross bottony shape were worn on uniforms, and the headquarters flag of the Maryland-born Confederate general Bradley T. Johnson was a red cross bottony on a white field.

By the end of the Civil War, therefore, both the yellow-and-black Calvert arms and the red-and-white colors and bottony cross design of the Crossland arms were clearly identified with Maryland, although they represented opposing sides in the conflict. As officers and soldiers returned home after the war to resume their peacetime occupations, the greatest challenge facing the country was reconciliation. Nowhere was the problem more serious than in deeply divided Maryland, where veterans who had fought under the red-and-white secession colors" had to be reintegrated into a state that had remained true to the Union.

As the slow process of reconciliation took place in post-Civil War Maryland, a new symbol emerged. A flag incorporating alternating quadrants of the Calvert and Crossland colors began appearing at public events. While the design derived directly from the seventeenth-century Calvert family coat of arms, for Marylanders of the 1880s the new banner must have conveyed a powerful message. The passage of time had gradually diminished the passions of former Rebels and Yankees, permitting them to work together once again. Now the colors they had fought under had come together as well, symbolically representing through this new flag the reunion of all the state's citizens.\

This gave me an idea, might go through there when I pop over to Red Onion record shop.

My first place I lived when I'm moved from Sierra Leone was on Adelphi Rd, before the Popeyes. Used to bike up the Campus and around Lewisdale all the time.
