Pretty much.. at this point as a people you do not want to get locked out any city :manny:

They abandoned your ass when you right around the corner from city hall. If you're poor, they don't care where you are. They don't give a fukk about you.

The Truth
What I'm starting to notice about the black people in the city is how they're pretty much a crab in the barrel mentality now.

I never really noticed it back in the day (actually... I noticed it with black teachers/counsellors) but I see it a lot more now.

nikkas look at you sideways, females act like they only catch attitudes when it's against other black people...

I was just talking about that to my bro the other day. It's the saddest part really. It's a lot more common now

shyt man, I actually like Decatur a lot. I'm actually really comfortable in the Dec cause I'm around my people. But I feel like I need to be in the middle of Atlanta since the city is kind of spread out. That's why I been looking at Mid Town. I've been trying to get a job downtown, but keep ending up in Kennesaw. It's a lot of good paying jobs out there for what I do (Finance Field) I at least want to move past that bottleneck that you hit trying to get past the downtown area on the highway. That's where I spend most of my time on the road. shyt be turning my 9:00-5:00 into a 7:00-7:00:mjcry:

you sure you wanna be in midtown?
:mjpls:

Move to Vinings breh. Right next to the city and you can get to your job much easier.

If you black and willingly live in Cobb then I'm prayin for you :mjcry::mjcry:

I was up in Marietta, near Delk road and 75, a few months ago. Man, that whole area has gone to compete shyt. Franklin Road still a goddamn hazard area even 10 years later.
