So if a nikka from NY or whatever just minded his own business and made his money legitimately, and he said Newburgh, he still a "square?" More grimey nikkas form up north are from the isolated areas since they were victims of gentrification in NYC.

Didn't say that. What I meant was that alot of dudes move down here trying to be someone else and false claim an area when dudes from Atlanta will quiz a nikka about his hood cuz we know that alot of folks move here and try and re-invent themselves.

Anybody can move there and make moves the right way and be cool. That's the beauty of Atlanta. It's not a territorial city. Don't matter where you from or who you are. The only way you will get caught up is if you get slick or try to knock someone else's cash flow. If you from any random city and move to the A and do business the right way you good. Come down trying to sell dummy bricks or run a scam thinking nikkas not about they money and you'll end up in a trunk somewhere.

One thing they are trying to push in ATL is urban farming, since many of the hoods lack access to real good (just junk fast food) they city has been pushing for urban farms to be developed, the thing is is White folks are capitalizing on this and giving old burnt out people and homeless cats chump change to do the dirty work for them while they are seen as "job creators" and heros, then they go and turn around and try to resell it to folks at crazy mark ups. With the farm stuff I`m researching mainly because the land isn't that expensive, its just getting good land and equipment and such.

I see why some posters are saying they wanna move certain groups out of the metro area.
I'm feeling the success and energy of ATL in this thread. No wonder the Hawks are now an elite team in the league, it has a lot to do with the upward mobility and dynamics of the area.

How far? The obly old shops i can think of are in the run down part of Downtown Kennesaw, and they're giving those things the :camby: to build condos for hipster KSU alumni.

The redneck country types have been mostly been gentrified out by hipsters and mddle aged soccer moms.

The thing I like the most down here is that you can find a lot of like minded brothas down here to link up with. it's been pretty much all love for the most part, I definitely feel a certain comradery that I didn't feel up north where nikkas is more grimey and will stab u in the back to get to the top :manny:

shyt, I respect the ATL heads with getting money legally and living in big houses. I be upfront about making money together and they respect that. nikkas in NY/NJ be on that :birdman: shyt and tryna take your money with deception to trick on hoes or to show off to they people.

:what::dahell::damn::camby:. my aunt telling me its a ratio of like 4 women to 1 nikka, and you drop this bomb on me.:camby::camby::camby: i guess im staying in maryland smfh. i had dreams of wifing up a ditzy country broad from the A who just likes to cook and fukk (me only) :damn::damn::damn::damn::damn:
Women in the A is about making money and get turn up. You could find you a woman with housewife quality, but it's going to be hard to find in the A, because most of those broads are career-oriented.

:what: You must never been to Bmore or PG. I'm in Greenbelt Md as I type this. Blacks in this area don't network and work together nearly as much as they do down south.

Black Pop. in Arlington, I just moved from Arlington/Shirlington. What Black population? It's might be 10%. No way you live here. I've been here since 2004.
I find it easier to network with powerful ppl in DC than ATL but I had the network in GA that was more powerful but that took yrs. In DC, it's as simple as being in the right place at the right time. In ATL, it's all about who vouches for you.
