I was thinking about this and taking to my brother about how you know you in the hood of any city. Some things I came up with:
1) Any street named MLK Blvd., Dr., Rd, St. usually ain’t a good sign honestly
2) You’re usually not near the prime attractions or prime real estate of a city
3) The area contains a bunch of streets packed together that are named as numbers I.E ( 4th street, 15th ave, etc.)
4) Strangely you are usually closer to the airport in that city, assuming that the more upscale areas/neighborhoods don’t want to hear planes taking off and landing all day
5) Usually a highway runs thru it/separates it from other parts of the area
Y’all got any others to add?
