"Decatur isn't Atlanta"- ying yang twins

[Art Barr]

Nah just Brooklyn. Each cmboriugh is its own county but all part of New York City. BK is 112, Queens is 111, Manhattan is 100 Bronx is 104 I think and so on

so the boroughs are actually mini cities within an actual city on an island then.

is that simply how to think of it.

i wanna ask you in a different borough.
what your zip code is?



art barr

Elaborate. U wanna know how zip code works? Zip code out here is basically all over the place. For instance.
Bronx has 10457(East Tremont), 10458(Fordham), 10463(Kingsbridge) etc etc. Some areas have more than one like Brooklyn 11208,11207,11239(all East NY). If u notice the trend. Bronx is 104, BK is 112, etc etc. It’s mad zip codes in NYC.

gary is a town.

they may say city but that is just because they are close to chicago.
playing zone games from the old steel mill and transportation factory up sibley.
i even wanna say gary is called mainstream wise as a selling point:

the town of gary

I couldn’t tell you the technical difference between town and city. Gary is about fourteen times the size of Decatur though.

Yeah, though it's actually three islands lol. Bronx is mainland NY, Manhattan is its own island, and Queens and BK are part of Long Island, though culturally Long Island is only Nassau and Suffolk

 

[Art Barr]

okay...

so why do south bronx people.

give off this aura of they are from the city and other boroughs are like more suburban tho.
yet not the bronx.
when they are all major cities then.

so does the bronx have a burb?
or does the bronx consider the other boroughs suburban?

i am trying to understand the stigma from my peoples in real time tho.

okay so that is why the bronx have that bravado about them then.
then they act like manhatten is like downtown or up north to us. plus mixed with outwest.

it is like the more advanced where i am from rep games to the umpteenth power.

probably where rep'n where you from even down to aesthetic of grassroots location...

okay that makes it make way more sense.

why the bronx is the way they are and why they covet being the mecca.
from a distinctly origin standpoint. plus why harlem in the new school way of thought.
had to rebolster themselves culturally as far as perception in the emcee pillar singularly.

The Bronx has suburbish areas within it especially north Bronx on the West Side deep in Riverdale where all the Jewish people are. South Bronx is like that because Manhattan/Harlem is literally right there. Bronx and Manhattan are right next to eachother. There’s parts of the Bronx where u can walk across and be in Harlem.

is decatur known for manufacturing anything like gary in the past?

yeah,....

i always saw that perspective.

that is why the heavy heavy distinctive bronx river south bronx bravado.

okay......

so...in the bronx is that the main hub.
where people would be coming in as transports to migrate to america?
or the place where more grassroots people born in new york.
or what we could say was a native new yorker have a kindred?

That doesn’t come up as a Decatur address though. That comes up as Atlanta. South of Memorial Drive - East Lake, Belvedere Park, Candler-McAfee areas are categorized as something other than Decatur.

East Lake, Atlanta - Wikipedia

Belvedere Park, Georgia - Wikipedia

Candler-McAfee, Georgia - Wikipedia

Looking at city boundaries, Decatur stops just north of Memorial Drive, which is why I asked in another post if the city boundary maps are accurate.

Or all y’all just attributing certain neighborhoods that are not part of Decatur as part of Decatur? There was mentioned an unincorporated Decatur. Are these the areas considered unincorporated?

I've lived in East Lake since 2011. Candler Rd south of Memorial is unincorporated Decatur (30032). CITY of Decatur (30030) stops a little bit before you reach Memorial but leads right into unincorporated Decatur. There are also parts of Atlanta that are unincorporated but that's a whole other story. Avondale Estates and Belevedere Park are right there as well. But Avondale Eststes is an incorporated city with its own mayor, police etc. Belvedere Park is in unincorporated Decatur

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.

nikka what you talking about? Watts is literally Los Angeles. Their address says Los Angeles on it

"I'm from East Atlanta not Decatur"

 

[BrothaZay]

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

Yep. I grew up on Peachtree and Bruton. That's literally half a block from pleasant Grove but nikkas do not consider it Dallas at all
