"Decatur isn't Atlanta"- ying yang twins

[Deoji]

North Decatur has an Atlanta address. I’m going by address. Essentially you are right. Just like some parts of Dunwoody have an Atlanta address.

I'll give you Dunwoody but what part of Decatur has an Atlanta address?

People get silly and small-minded with this conversation.

A suburb of a city requests to be it's own city for various reasons. If I'm not mistaken Buckhead is currently attempting to become it's own city right?

If your city is less than 30 minutes from the major metro...you're apart of that city. Not to mention if your city BORDERS that major city......I mean come on!!! You're driving down a road, I think it's candler, and one minute you're in Atlanta, the next you're supposed to be in an entirely different city? Foh.

It's possible if you live there and have to vote and send your kids to school. I had to learn all the boundaries in the area when I was house hunting. The easiest way to tell if you're in City of Atlanta is if the street signs have quadrants (NE, SE, etc)

False. No parts of Decatur are Atlanta.

North Decatur has an Atlanta address. I’m going by address. Essentially you are right. Just like some parts of Dunwoody have an Atlanta address.

this is why the coli dope.

we dissecting this prison industrial economy shyt to the core.
as we only give a fukk about these types of things because they have crippled us purposefully through poverty to these obscene levels.


shyt wild.

crack epidemic has left us so riddled we have to respect the struggle of every one factually as it is.
so keep it real is just a wild slogan.
on so many levels before it was misappropriated from emcees.
taken into rap..then processed into this mixed bag of rep'n.


shyt got us twisted.

except the silver lining is.
hiphop history has the secrets and knowledge to actually thwart this.
so you see the prison industrial economy cripple the last drawing business derived in rap.
to bring us all here.
from the last large gateway coupled with universal's acquisition and later sale.


shyt crazy....

Over there by perimeter mall. To
be exact Peachtree Dunwoody road NE. I know for fact actually because I use to live on that road.

Edit my bad I’m drunk read your post wrong. North Decatur would be near north dekalb mall with an Atlanta address

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.

Manhattan being referred to as "the city" is mainly a colloquial term based off location within the boroughs and metro

Same thing goes for "outer boroughs"

As a bronxite, manhattan is more so "downtown" or a specific location i.e-Harlem,wash heights,Dyckman etc Or just simply manhattan

The city seems to be more of a bk/qns thing. Which I never understood

North Dekalb mall area basically Claremont exit

He might be getting Dekalb mixed up with Decatur. Decatur and Atlanta always gonna have a separate address. North Decatur Rd. becomes Atlanta around Emory, specifically Clairmont.

Your right, north Decatur rd is Atlanta in that area.

Ah, okay. I haven't lived in NYC for long and most of my family is from Brooklyn and have always called Manhattan the city.

And then since my city of Jacksonville is so huge ( it takes close to an hour to drive from north to south or east to west borders) I realized most of these cities are tiny! All of NYC is probably 1 1/2 maybe 2 of our sides of town. Atlanta proper is maybe a quarter of our Westside.

So this helps you realize what happened. They broke the cities up into multiple smaller cities for economic, population, or transportation reasons.

it just hit me...compare it to NYC. You have the boroughs, I'm in Brooklyn, queens is right around the corner! Or at least what I'd call around the corner. The entire NYC can fit in our Southside.

Fam I can do this shyt right in the Bronx and have u thinkin shyt sweet. Lol. This how nikkas get caught up by sleepin.

That’s how a lotta DC nikkas get caught up loafin when they come out here to PG County or go across the bridge in VA thinking shyt real live sweet like that when they be on that rah rah

 

[Gator48]

Ummm.... who cares.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Distance. It’s right there tho. At some point is has to stop. Fairburn in Union city or not Atlanta either. Suburbs outside of it tho

That's why I say Atlanta Area. My black ass in FayCo in Tyrone.

It's easier to say that or just say Atlanta outright tho
