OP when you get a chance cross the queens / Nassau border and observe how everything literally changes in an instant...the swag, the atmosphere, the look, the people...everything. It will bug you out.

Moving from Philly to NY, I didnt think would be a big cultural difference, but goddamn :damn:
Im staying in Jamaica, Queens, but I want to live farther north soon, maybe Flushing or Elmhurst.

- NY'ers aint soft. I aint seen no violence, no fights, not even a gun, but I can tell niccas aint suckas.

- Nikkas think my Philly accent is "country" :mjcry:

- So many cultures and diversity. Seems like whenever I see a brother, and say "wassup", breh responds in a crazy ass accent, either Jamaican/ African/ French/ some shyt i dont comprehend...
I cant hold a convo with them Jamaican niccas, breh.

- That E train is a journey

- Shyt is segragated as hell. I aint seen no white people at all in Jamaica, only black and Spanish. Flushing seems to be all Asian. Jackson Heights is Middle Eastern. Corona/ Elmhurst is Latin. All the cacs is in Astoria and LIC (expensive as hell).

- The ladies :blessed:

- Seems like people not from Queens hate coming here. I told Brooklyn and Harlem people that I live in Queens and they do the :mjpls:
Because it becomes a clusterfukk driving through certain neighborhoods

what you mean Exo?
Man there are parts of Queens where you will just get LOST. I mean Manhattan has a like a grid system so you generally know where you're going if you know where North, South, East, and West is. Brooklyn I'm from here so I just know where everything is just cause.

But Queens....you can be in the 70's and then all of a sudden it becomes 140 something street and you like :damn:

I remember me and my boys got lost as fukk in Queens trying to find this Korean BBQ spot, and we were driving in circles for like an hour. Yes we were high but that's besides the point!

:ld:

Depends where. Woodmere Park is nice. Great Neck is nice. Elmont is basically Cambria Heights with a 516 area code. Other than that :yeshrug:

High key LI lost its swag. I remember going out to Roosevelt Field like it was a special trip. Now it's like :manny: Maybe I'm just getting older.

My favorite part of NYC right now is north Brooklyn. Prospect Heights, Greenpoint, Bushwick....... thats the part I legit miss.
