yeah i grew up in Capitol Heights then moved to Clinton. 2 different worlds back then. You must be out Upper Marlboro or Bowie
Your journey thru PG sounds like mine breh. Born in Cheverly (PG Hospital) back in ‘92 but grew up in Suitland (back when the Homer Ave projects were still around and them Tooley St. and Swann Rd. nikkas were even grimier than they are now, I lived in City Line towers next to the cemetery literally just a 2 min walk from PG’s border with the Soufside), Forestville (lived in Park Berkshire, Forest Creek was around the corner tho), District Heights/Silver Hill Rd, and Walker Mill (Shady Glen Terrace). I was stayed in those hoods for an average of 5-6 years, Walker Mill was the longest stay (2002-2007), so outta all the hoods in PG County, I feel more of a stronger connection there since half of my childhood, preteenhood, and early teenhood was spent there. Then around summer of 2007, I moved out to Clinton and fast forward to Feb 2014, I live in Brandywine now.
Both the inner and outer Beltway parts of PG are two different worlds. Hell, going out Clinton back in the day used to feel like a road trip when I was living in Walker Mill and District Heights....Don’t even get me started on Waldorf when it was way more country than it is now.
I also used to briefly live in Northeast near Eastern Ave as an infant but like I said, briefly and as an infant. I don’t claim DC hoods since I didn’t grew up in the City.
