The Cities Where African-Americans Are Doing The Best Economically 2018

Yeah




Just kidding, Austin would probably be my choice before Nashville though. Not far from Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. Great barbecue and Mexican food. I've worked in Nashville for the past 6 months. It's cool, but also country music's mecca...

Nashville is not very far from Memphis and Atlanta. I am here right now and it is a pretty nice city. Glad to hear about D.C., but I am not shocked to hear about Chicago.

I bet Austin and Nashville both have bad ass women. The night life in those cities must be surreal.

Nah, my cousin lives there and he says it's more like a glorified college town with a skyline than a legitimate city for adult nightlife. Not to mention it mainly caters to cacs.

You get a lot of mixed messages about Boston. Some people make it seem like a racist shythole, and others say that is overstated.

As for this topic - I just can't see myself living in Atlanta. Too many things about Atlanta are just offputting.

Nashville seems interesting, tho'.

Why? I fukking love Atlanta.

Good money in central Texas plenty of jobs and opportunities to start businesses. Gives a fukk about the night life?

If it means that much to you open a bar.

Real talk DMV could be the capital of Pan-Africanism. Africans, AAs and Carribeans all eating.

Isn't that mainly due to the government gigs there? I`d rather see more focus on entrepreneurship in that area before making that statement.

DMV is good except the rent.

good night life means a lot to people in their 20s

once you hit your 30s you stop giving a fukk because the shyt you used to enjoy has gone and left


I'm 23 but I ain't moving to texas unless it houston and yes it would mostly be due to the nightlife

I will say this if your're not in STEM or do not have very concrete and marketable skills in business/finance do not move here. You'll be disappointed

If you moving here to turn up, you'll be VERY disappointed there has been a serious man hunt to shut down all the black clubs since '09

Buh...Buh... The South!

We have our differences but agreed 100%.
