Because we aren't southern.....

I when I be in NY and Philly I feel like I'm at home. But when I go down south its a big culture shock.

COPS? Seriously? Yes, let's base our idea of a city off of a television show that specifically shows the worst part of any city on purpose. Not that you actually have a reference for this particular show or where it was supposed in Atlanta. I mean, we can't expect you to have any hard evidence to back up your claims.


LOLOLOL

Did you even bother to see what that neighborhood looked like?

Here's the street view.
331 Elizabeth St Ne, Atlanta, GA 30307 - Google Maps

For those too lazy to click, here's a picture:



For those too lazy to figure it out, those are rowhouses and an old factory turned into lofts and hoity toity restaurants. Not trailers. Obviously.

But neither Boston or Atlanta and the probably 20 combined trailer homes between the both, can match the high density trailer home developments found on the outskirts of your very own Scranton:

Come back when you have an intelligent argument, the adults are talking (for the most part).

Are we still on this??

DC is Northeastern or Mid Atlantic. Ask DC residents. This is what they will say.

Case closed.

I swear DC played this song to DEATH when I was up there for Howard homecoming. Every 2 minutes.....no exxaderation.

But there's no one southern accent, and Wale doesnt sound northern either.

But everyone might as well give this argument up.

What about the ubiquitous neo-classical and strongly European-influenced architecture in D.C.? Is it more northeast or southern?

Some of yall are real thirsty to have DC be a part of the Northeast. lol. But a real true DC native/resident will not want to be associated with anything other than "DC". They don't care about it being Northern or Southern.
