"The GOAT Black City" The Official: ATL Discussion Thread

[staticshock]

I'm trying to support more black-owned restaurants around the Atlanta area so I've compiled a list into a public map. If anyone has any suggestions, please provide them and I'll update the map. It could really use some listings outside the perimeter, too. Link is below. Use and Share if you like.


Atlanta-Area Restaurants

For OTP:
Jamaica Country Kitchen in Fayetteville
Jamaican Taste in Jonesboro
Fireside Jamaican Restaurant in Jonesboro
THAT Burger Spot in Riverdale and Jonesboro (a black lady owns these..burgers put you out for a few days )
Rosa’s Home Cooking- Fayetteville (soul food kitchen)
Papa Lou’s Kitchen- Fayetteville (Soul Food take out and buffet)
Mr.Everything- Fairburn

those are just the ones I can think of that I frequent where I stay at. I’ll add more when it comes to me.

30033 and 30030 are North Decatur/City of Decatur which is really expensive, but the area is nice and it has a top 3 school district in the state.
30032 is "loud Decatur" where trappers occasionally flex. Its Zone 6 adjacent (15 minutes from downtown), lots of petty crime and junkies going ham at the gas stations, heavily policed (pulled over a couple times for no reason) and schools suck.
30034 and 30035 is working class Decatur, not as dangerous or dilapidated as 30032, but schools still suck.
Unless you can afford North Decatur, I'd rather live in a nice metro suburb like others in the thread have mentioned.

I was tempted to say something about the schools in my post, but I held off.

I know you don’t mean no harm breh but I hate how black schools and districts are labeled as bad like kids don’t learn a damn thing and teachers don’t know what they’re doing.

being in the education field that shyt infuriates me. Teachers in black schools teach just like those in white schools. Our schools get a bad rap cause each school has a few students who don’t wanna do shyt. And those test they use to rate schools are culturally biased.

If/when I have kids, I wouldn’t mind putting them in a black school that’s labeled as “bad”. You just have to push the importance of education to your kids and tell them to make good decisions on who they call friends.

A kid at Riverdale, Cedar Grove, Doug, Stephenson, South Atlanta, Banneker, and all the other black schools can get into the same colleges as kids from white high schools can.
