yeah, Woodmore is pretty ridiculous. I live down the street from there. (Im not balling, and I live down the street but that street is about 15 minutes)
In fact if you goto that Woodmore/Mitchelville area, there is nothing but gated communities.
Yeah, you must be by Largo or Landover. No offense but I hate that part of PG its dead as fukk to me I used to go to Ray Leonard's gym in Palmer Park so I'd ride around the area shyt is
.That's the thing I like about Fort Washington, DC is a straight shot and VA is just across the bridge. Plus you can actually drive through the mansion areas.
I was deceived breh, my entire family livin in NoVa.
No shock, lots of Ethiopians stay in VA they usually on that
shyt.

You can drive through the mansions the mansions during the day and be ok. It is a barren area though. I love going to Wegmans on weekends tho. So many wimmenz be out there.
Wegmans, Giant, and Target. Thats the highlight, brehs.

Not necessarily...it's just that in the South you can make less money and still be havin' thangs. If they did a top 20 or 25, i'm sure it would bear that out...

it's not even the govt contracts, much of that money is old money. black history in md/dc is strong as fukk. a lot of it is new too, this area just breeds a go-getter mentality regardless of race tbh
@
same with the md ones. "mitchellville" was created like 10 years ago, i still just call all those "cities" old pg county. they're more neighborhoods than towns

There's is no well to do black communities and it's definitely not any here in Memphis.

"Well-to-do" is open to interpretation, doe.
While they may not be "Ladera Heights", there are still enclaves that are "doing well".
(you're right about Memphis, doe)
There's none in Dallas or Houston.
The closes neighborhood is Missouri City, but that shyt is mad ratchet now of days.
Damn I didn't know that. So it's safe to say that NoVa is pretty cacced out huh.
I think that @2Quik4UHoes may remember this, or maybe not, but Arlington, VA was an exercise in gentrification, almost like an experiment, before DC. You had scattered pockets of black communities in Alexandria and Arlington (Green Valley being most popular in Arlington) but also a heavy hispanic population coming into the late 80's and 90's. Once the potential was realized for the area, that rent went up and redevelopment kicked it, that was it, the white washing of NoVA began.
With that being said, NoVA is rather culturally mixed, white dominant, however there is a cultural hodge podge in the Arlington, Alexandria and Falls Church areas.

I'm in Falls Church and I see this a lot.

My sister is a lawyer in Alexandria (close to the Pentagon) and that area now is like a gated community of rich white folks and well-educated immigrants. It certainly wasn't the case 10 years ago, not even close.I think that @2Quik4UHoes may remember this, or maybe not, but Arlington, VA was an exercise in gentrification, almost like an experiment, before DC.

Yoga studios, gourmet joints, etc... It's like hispters with money.

Yeah Mitchellville look new compared to Ft. Washington, you can find old plantation properties in the backroads around here the Fort itself been around since the Civil War I think so some of the houses on some historic shyt. Everything around Upper Marlboro is some new shyt tho.

lol, all I remember of VA is when my moms lived off Glebe Rd in Arlington. I hated VA, but my brother got to experience the black VA before it was wiped out. Only minorities in NoVA now are Africans, Latinos, and Arabs. Black folk holding on for dear life in Old Town, how much you wanna bet they'd reunify Alexandria and D.C. once its enough whites in Washington.
