Petersburg, Virginia

not trey Songz himself but the song itself.

And as far as Trey Songz speaking he doesn’t have an up north accent but he def doesn’t have a deep southern accent as well.

I'd agree that alota Virginians don't have a deep southern accent. Its southern, but not deep. But again I'm a Virginian, I can hear the Virginia South accent in everybody from VA that most people can't hear---->Wanda Sykes, Iverson, Vick, Zo Mourning, etc...

Virginia is unique like that, wide range of dialects but there is a specific "Virginia sound" that if you're just used to hearing thousands of Virginians talk, you can pick it up. Chad Hugo and Constance Wu may be the only famous Virginians I can't hear it in and that's probably because they Asian lmao...

Unless you’re going to Cook-Out or Virginia State University, hellllll no. There’s nothing in Petersburg.

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

That name alone sounds a like place no Black person should even be within a mile off.

It’s a majority black town with an HBCU but outside of that - there’s nothing there. Surrounding areas might as well be sundown towns

 

[Nicole0416_718_929_646212]

Hell no, one of the eeriest towns I’ve been to

Lot of negative history - confederacy. Land of civil war battles and plantations - haunting, unrested souls

What type of people you want to surround yourself with?

Good people

Southern and tidewater area Virginians have a very distinct southern accent. It’s how they inflect certain words and a “twang” with the vowel sounds. Northern VA not as much - it’s not “southern” and it’s not “east coast” . Just like you can tell a Baltimore accent from a PG County accent.

Cleveland has professional franchises and billionaires to house them. Let not forget the Cavs owner who shytted on Lebron publicly when he dipped to Miami all for him to come crawling back to Cleveland.

Cleveland has an ugly history too, dont forget that

Petersburg (and Colonial Whites) are independent cities, there really is no surrounding towns. Lots of black businesses in Petersburg too.
