"Decatur isn't Atlanta"- ying yang twins

[987654321]

My cousin lives in Decatur. So is it Atlanta or not I’m confused??

It’s like saying queens or Brooklyn isn’t New York lol. Decatur, Brookhaven, East point, college park, etc technically aren’t Atlanta. But metro Atlanta is considered Atlanta, and that’s coming from someone who’s lived in Atlanta, decatur, Stone Mountain, and Gwinnett lol. I consider it all Atlanta. Atlanta, to me includes Fulton county, dekalb county, Gwinnett county, Cobb county, and Clayton county. They’re the most dense population wise and they all physically touch Atlanta.

Watts isn’t LA but I consider it LA because when we mention LA we’re talking about the whole metro area.

This is the definition of a metropolis lmao. I don’t know why people still argue about this shot as if it means something.

Jody Breeze is from Joneboro. If someone asked me about it I’ll say he’s from Atlanta smh.

If y’all count the whole Metro as Atlanta then y’all city has 6.1M people.

I don’t see how places that don’t even resemble cities just a bunch of country suburban sprawl how can that be considered part of a city.

This is right off of Candler. You telling me this is the hood?

Google Maps

Dawg, I drove down Candler Road on the way to school for 2 years straight. That place is the HOOD

Another thing about atl natives is that we only put respect on where you're from depending on what high school you went to.

Southwest DeKalb, Columbia or Towers were legit. Druid Hills, not so much.

Hempstead don’t look shyt different from Queens.

I went out to Hempstead a few weeks ago to see the AEW show at UBS Arena and I legit couldn't tell you where Hempstead started and Queens ended

He showed you Candler St. That ain't hood. Now Candler Rd is a different story lol.

 

[blase_chic]

Literally no one considered gwinnett to be Atlanta until the migos came on the scene.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

I know Dallas nikkas don't play about that shyt lol. If you from a place outside Dallas city limits then that's where you from

Don't be a Mesquite nikka trying to claim Pleasant Grove

The NYPD patrols both boroughs so I’m assuming the APD patrols Decatur?

Also isn’t Watts a legit neighborhood in LA? @getmoney310cpt

 

[FunkDoc1112]

In New York we rep exactly where we from that nikka aint from here and it shows.

We would laugh a nikka out the building if he trying claiming a hood or area he not from.

I dont kno how them Atl dudes do it man , that just seem weak as fukk lol.

It's because the city of Atlanta is actually pretty small. Population only like 500K - that's how most cities are. But NYC is so huge, dense, and insular that it's silly for anyone outside of the city to claim it.

Think of it like this - in NYC, we refer to Manhattan as "The City" while Queens, BX, BK, and Staten are the outer boroughs (And indeed, New York City was originally just Manhattan and south Bronx until the other boroughs got incorporated in 1898). For Metro Atlanta, ATL is Manhattan and the surrounding parts within the perimeter are the outer boroughs.

NYC is just such a clearly defined city that the "politics" of cities elsewhere might be harder to grasp.
