Let's keep it real brehs, the south is boring as hell

[Kyle C. Barker]

That’s a very common theme I’ve noticed with most Southern cities, big or small. They would have a traditional grid layout in the downtown core that’s very similar to the East Coast and Midwest cities but once you’re outside of that, their grid system starts looking like a bunch of ant farm trails and oodles n noodles and the presence of sidewalks tend to be a lot more hit or miss and downright abysmal the further out from the downtown core you are.

That's been my interesting too.

For brehs that live in old eat coast cities it's like throwing a downtown area in the middle of a suburb.

The layout for a city like Tampa is actually comparable to rockville or columbia maryland. Or Tyson's corner virginia.

Lowkey most of America is boring. If you ain’t in a real city you’d probably either in a Deep South area, flyover Midwest, somewhere with white rural people, or the desert

Maybe you're just a boring person


Weather is great all year and highest percentage of black people in the country.

In places way up north where the weather gets hella cold, everyone just stays shut in their houses, nightlife dies, no one wants to do shyt for half the year.



Cities all over the country broke homicide records in 2020, even Minneapolis and Cleveland.

I went to Atlanta last February and it was 30 degrees.

the gulf coast and Southern Florida are the only true southern areas with all year round great weather.


Most of my family lives in west palm beach btw.

progressive? You a cac?

Ain't no difference between cacs. They're all racist. At least down south there's more black folks around and the weather/scenery is better.

The north is so ugly and cold compared to down south.

The north arguably has the GOAT architecture in the United States. Sprawled cities are typically viewed as ugly by everyone.


As far as scenery goes you must be talking about the Midwest portion of the north cause you aren’t talking about the NE.

Nothing different but his point is that there is more to do.

it's been an hour, crickets still chirping

 

[SadimirPutin]

to be honest generally when I see people in their twenties on the gram now their only interest is clubbing, hookah, the occasional vegas trip etc

And you can get that in any city.....so when the OP asked for 6 different things I was actually interested to see what posters would bring up for their area.

I was hoping to see some outdoors shyt, maybe a rec sports league or something lol

posturing and browsing their phones at lounges while waiting for mayhem to jump off so they can start recording

Sheeeiiiittt come up to DC, movahfukkas would turn up all season pre-COVID. I can’t tell you the amount of times I had to maneuver through hella crowds on both 14th Street and U Street after work either within my car or omw to the Metro station and it would be in the low 40’s or even high 30’s in the middle of fukking January or February And that’s just the nightlife....The brunch/day parties in DC be off the chain too even when it’s brick asf outside. The pandemic temporarily killed nightlife in DC but the brunch/day parties are still going strong since nikkas stay promoting them every weekend on The Gram and FB.

Pre-covid DC was a single professional black man's playground

I remember checking ATL’s weekly temperatures last week and it had quite a few low 30’s going on and those were the daytime temps....Prior to that, I was under the assumption ATL weather rarely dip below that high 30s/low 40s threshold. That’s about the average for DC around this time of year, but I never expected to see that in a Southern city...Let alone one in the Deep South. Learn something new everyday I suppose

Correct. And the week that I went to ATL the weather in NyC had not dip that low yet.

I think what southern people mean by “great” weather is that the winters are shorter and they get less than an inch of snow.


That’s not good for me. If I’m leaving my area for weather reasons then I better not see cold at all.

Yeah it’s only a handful of cities in the South that got interesting architecture. Hell I’d even go as far as saying some of the most dilapidated cities you can think of in “The North” got more attractive looking architecture than the most dilapidated cities in the South. For example, who got more attractive looking architecture despite having a decent number of areas that look derelict asf:

Buffalo, NY or Jackson, MS?
Baltimore, MD or Memphis, TN?
Pittsburgh, PA or Jacksonville, FL?

And I know good and damn well he ain’t talking about no damn “North looks so ugly” in terms of scenery From the almost uninterrupted stretch of coastline that transitions from the sandy beaches of Maryland to the rocky, lighthouse-dotted shoreline of Maine.....To the beautiful apple country of the Hudson Valley and the wineries of Northern Virginia....To New England’s iconic autumn and winter landscapes....To the incredible majesty of the Chesapeake Bay....Pennsylvania by itself got one of the most gorgeous topographies and geographies in the country and Maryland in particular got practically every single natural biome that this country got except for tropical rainforests, deserts, open plains, and glacial/alpine areas (it’s a reason MD is called America In Miniature)....A lot of these steel, brick, and stone bridges that dot the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic add to the scenery as well....Both North and South share the Appalachians....Etc., etc.

He would have a point about the Lower Midwest since much of that shyt is very flat and rarely changes elevation. However, the Upper Midwest and some of the Great Plains states have some very interesting topography and geography that rivals almost anything that’s on the East Coast and the South.
