Chicago, yeah cats get killed here but what major metro city doesn't. Outside of that it's a lot to do here. As far as tourist go they stick to downtown and the north side. It's a lot of gems around on the south and west side, with beautiful architecture and everything. In the summer, Chicago has it going on with a lot of the festivals going on. West Indian and African fests. Like I see if you a ? ? that's what you got looking for, ? ?

Dallas
Too much money here to be made, and honestly I'm an electrician I hear about all the new ? they gone build here, if the projects get approved to be built here that they are going for(and more than likely will) well as my LA born fiance says 'Dallas is gonna be the LA of the South in like 15 years' better get here and get your hands in the ? quickly. -
The only really good thing about the city I live in is the fact that the rent is low/cheap compared to the rest of the state. Other than that, people getting shot/killed left and right, the school system is a joke, the traffic is horrible, if you have kids this isn't the place to raise them, the taxes are high. I need to get out of here.

Someone mentioned seafood; man the seafood is great! Can’t go home without getting me either a shrimp or catfish po boy. It’s a cool city for water activities as well. The fishing is good. My boys and I usually take a few kayaks and row under neath the bridge to fish, or we’ll hop on the boat to go fish at one of the islands.
If you’re into gambling, there’s quite a few casinos. One of my best friends played black jack with Michael Jordan. That ? goes through some cash and he said he’s ruthless on the tables; constantly telling people to hurry up and if you ain’t got no cash get the hell on. The casino buffets are good as well.
As for partying; you’ve got the casinos that have the clubs in them. There’s quite a few daiquiri spots; they just opened up a Fat Tuesday. The hard rock hotel is usually boomin. Bar scenes cool in nearby Ocean Springs. Usually get ? as a fool then hit the juke joint that stay open till 4am. You also got New Orleans an hour and some change away. It’s also an artsy city, so there’s many museums.
I ? with Biloxi,Mobile,Pcola. Good people, food, and easy money made in each one. -

I talk to one of our promoters and he's trying to get Trap Karaoke here (I'm super excited) and he's also trying to get Krit here.
We just need other things to do than the club.
They say that we're going to be another Atlanta and I pray to baby Jesus it doesn't go that far.
I never thought I 'd see the day when Atlanta was looked at in a negative light. what happened to Atlanta? who ruined it? I haven't been there since 2002 and right now I'm not so sure I want to go back.

Nashville is slowly getting there.

Atl embodies the best and worst aspects of "black" culture in America

Atlanta was always a strip club mecca since the 90's but I remember when Atlanta was just a city. now its another Hollywood ,they are shooting all of these reality shows there, a lot of wack rap is coming out of Atlanta now. also Atlanta always had a ? population but now they've gone into hyperdrive with it.
also there used to be peaches up there. I remember flying to Atlanta in '98 and seeing beautiful ladies greeting me with warm smiles right at the airport terminal. i'm on my way back to my aunties house after the family reunion and seeing bad ass caramel colored broads standing in the front yard like its a normal thing. my cousin was working as a bailbondsman up there in the down town area and he said at lunchtime he used to look outside his office window and see a parade of bad ? on the sidewalks. what is the scene like up there. does modern hip hop reflect how the city is now? is there a bunch of bloods and weird looking young thug type ? wearing dresses. are there still peaches up there or did they get replaced by fat ugly ashy hoodrats. i'm going by what I saw in that Atlanta security guard video. I miss the old Atlanta. -
Dallas is too spread out. I hate visiting family there cause It is a hour here and a hour there. Plus add traffic. McKinney to Mesquite to Plano to Cedar Hill to Ft. Worth to North Dallas. It takes me damn near a week just to visit. That is why Dallas will never be like Houston or Atlanta or any of the other popping cities. There is no central area. Dallas is not the central area spot. Everything and everybody is spread out.
But the part about jobs and money is so true. It is ridiculous the amount of money it is in Dallas. If you cant make it in Dallas. You are a sad individual.
And back on the ATL, Why does seeing ? people bother you all so much? I see ? people in every major city in the world that I have been too. Really overseas (Europe, Middle East and Asia) you cant tell because male to male behavior and how women dress is far different compared to America.
Midtown/Downtown/Buckhead is the central area where everything happens in the ATL. It is the tourist area. It is also the area that is a ? hub for Atlanta. So if you are visiting the ATL and hit all of the tourist spot. Then yeah that is what you will see. Like going to San Fran or NYC. But why does it bother you that much? -

its not so much seeing ? ? . my main concern is that ? is now weird and unfamiliar also I forgot to ask whats the crime rate up their now? I know theres crime in every major city but I remember last year that Atlanta was featured on the next 48 quite a bit. that's what worries me, i'm worried that Atlanta has sinked to Miami's level of decadence. really I don't know Atlanta that well. I've only spent a few summers and a couple of holidays up there. -
@caddo man @southsil4lil Y'all got me thinking about Dallas very adamantly now. These days need to fast forward, I'm ready to hit that city up like last year

what cuz durant got money now?
Nah PG has always had a strong black middle class. It got hit hard by the recession and housing crash but its bouncing back. Only issue is PG is classist as ? . The nice areas are REALLY but the ? up parts are super ? up. Like going from Suitland or Forestville to Upper Marlboro you will think you went to another world -

You left out whats most important though.
Has some of the highest ? property taxes and a horrible ? school system. -
@SuperManuel
It only seem prevalent because it is centered around the tourist area. When you leave those areas it is less prevalent. But that is all you see because all the attractions are downtown outside of the new Braves stadium.
The crime is par the course of a large city. Carjacking, bank robberies, drug deal gon bad, high and low level prostituting. Miami was built off of ? money so the level of crime will never be at that peak. Also Miami has whole sides or sections of poverty. ATL has pockets of poverty. It is still alot! Hit the wrong turn and you ? . ? will be right beside a $500,000 subdivision. Case in point: Grant Park surrounded by hood but is becoming one the most sort after places to stay in ATL.
ATL is cut up in sections like any major city.
Southside (below Memorial Drive) - blue collar residential.
Northside (above Memorial drive) - Midtown/Buckhead/Downtown/Perimeter white collar jobs/white collar residents
Outside the perimeter (285)- suburbs mostly mixed
Outside the perimeter (285) between 75 & 85 north - A whole lotta money
Atlanta is going through the type of growth that Dallas was during the late 80s and 90s. If anyone remember Dallas in the 90s. Mesquite and Plano was the suburbs and damn near country. There was a actual large gap between Forth Worth and Dallas area. Atlanta is spreading the same way. -
Dope thread.

Yeah this is the only part about the city that kind of sucks, but is great at the same time. Nobody who was from other places uses to believe me when I would tell them that if I started driving in North Dallas 20 minutes later I would still be in North Dallas.
Thing is you have to live here to understand, every side of town or city has it's own identity. Dallas is different from Arlington, and both are different from Ft. Worth. You figure out where you like and you live there. I like North Dallas so I stay in North Dallas, most of my kinfolks like the southern side, none of us ? with Tarrant County though. lol
My fiance is from LA and she loves how DFW is set up, she says we actually have space to live and park our cars because everything is spread out. -
Hey man yall gon stop speaking down on the island of ATL.
The ATL is a international city now. So they have legit international city problems.
But the amount of hustle out here is damn near mind numbing. If you dont have a side hustle going on MFER actually look at you funny like, "WTF are you doing with your life."
Most people here are hustling trying to be a star and the movie industry here is not helping. ATL is not Hollywood south. It is co-op by Hollywood. Let those subsidies drop and they will be back in Cali fast as ? .
But it is something happening every weekend or weekday. Job market is stupid good. You really dont have to leave the island of ATL for ? .
Or and why do I call it the island of ATL. Cause when you leave this place. You fall right back to the reality in the south. The ATL has a gravitational pull on everything in within a 200 mile radius of this city. Dont ? else happen in the other smaller cities before it has happened here first.pretty much the same thing here ^^
Yo my mom is finally leaving there to move here. It is bitter sweet but that is the last person in my immediate family that stayed there. I have real reason to return, outside of nostalgia trips.
@caddo man
Thank you for representin' the ATL delegation in the proper manner! lol -
I keep running into these videos of black people saying DON'T move to Atlanta. E.g.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwqTO73ciM
And there are a lot more where that came from.
Any truth to this? Cause I'm in the process of applying for some jobs, one of which is in Atlanta.
