Jan 06th 2015 | 89

Pretty well defined in NYC for the most part |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 4
|
Yeah, people might not know hard lines of demarcation |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 7
|
yeah when you are driving the LIE / Northern State it's pretty easy |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 8

Street signs are a dead giveaway too |

I'm not sure how Breezy Point is allowed to exist in NYC |

North of Mount Vernon is Upstate |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 5
|
WRONG! anything north of the Bronx is upstate |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 11
|
(real talk, I actually believed that until college) |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 12

I'm a grown ass woman and I still believe that to this very day |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 14

Off topic: I remember when the Bronx area code was 212 |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 15
|
i didn't believe it when people used to tell me that either |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 17
|
wait, they made that switch in the 90's? I coulda sworn it was the 80s |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 18
|
according to wiki it was 1992 |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 23
|
i'm pretty sure there were 718 #s in the 80s |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 68

memories don't live like ppl do |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 78

I remember 212s and 718s |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 81

True. I count Mt. Vernon cause of Sue's though |

no, we hate all of you... |

in Bmore, one street splits the city between 'ova east' and 'ova west'..... |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 6
|
did you know there was a W. North Ave, North Ave, and E. North Ave? |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 84
|
damn, so it's not just West and East? there's a plain North Ave? |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 102
|
Yes, Seattle is bordered to the east by Lake Washington. |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 20

It's cut and dried in Philly (DC, too). |

Jan 06th 2015 | 25

i use to think chestnut hill was it's own town |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 44

it's not so clear here, depending on where you are. |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 28

I think #7 also applies to Chicago |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 29
|
generally, yeah. |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 36
|
Miami and Miami Beach are separate cities |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 32

this still confuses me |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 73
|
I like Miami proper a lot |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 74

I so sick of this 'proper' shit. There's Miami and there's Miami beach |

Jan 06th 2015 | 88

It's not recent. |

It's recently being applied to places it wasn't before ie the examples |

Exactly. There's no difference if your lifestyle and frame of reference |

ah this explains it, say no more |

This is a great point here: |

what Bostonian doesn't know that C-town and Rozzy |

Jan 06th 2015 | 33

Bill Simmons, for one |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 38

Simmons lived in Charlestown for years, I highly doubt he didn't know |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 46

He referred to it as a town outside of Boston on his podcast |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 47

lol. |

Jan 07th 2015 | 164

possibly |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 165
|
Yeah they're acting like it's Randolph |
|
Jan 09th 2015 | 233
|
because most people don't give a shit about city lines |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 35
|
most people ain't city folk |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 40
|
even most city folks don't. |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 53
|
I think it comes down to two things |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 56
|
yeah. and police. |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 57
|
In Richmond, it's "Watch out for the Henrico County police" |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 64
|
yeah it is |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 91
|
police are definitely at the top of the list. |

This was such a strange concept when I lived in Ohio. |

Jan 06th 2015 | 50

none of it is strange to me b/c i read maps as a hobby. |

I'm only now realizing that's a NY-centric thing |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 63
|
it's not just a ny thing |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 70
|
the city ends on the south around 130th St. lol |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 69
|
yep, that's pretty blatant over here, LOL... |
|
Jan 09th 2015 | 218

according to the Census, there are 28 counties in the Atlanta MSA |

Jan 06th 2015 | 61

yes |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 170

areas in city limits can be suburban |

Yes. It's very obvious in Philly |

Yall gonna shade me, but I used to think that Yonkers was part of NYC |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 79

Overcompensating dudes got you with all that "6th borough" nonsense |
|
Jan 06th 2015 | 80

for black people? |

Damn. *Crosses Yonkers off the list* |

Jan 07th 2015 | 162

yes, but a good bit of it is still "Richmond". |

Jan 06th 2015 | 90

L.A. can even confuse natives because we see some areas as cities |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 93
|
not exactly. |

Jan 07th 2015 | 95
|
here's a better map: |

Jan 07th 2015 | 96
|
Is it saying that Baldwin Hills and View Park are their own cities? |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 99
|
yes. |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 100
|
that doesn't help |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 108

it helps if one can read a map. |

Jan 07th 2015 | 113

i can |

What? |

These distinctions are really irrelevant |

They are very real distinctions |

Jan 07th 2015 | 105

you just proved stattic's point |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 109

Nah. People use cities as a sort of shorthand for experiences |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 110
|
nah, it's only serious for those who NEED it to be |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 116

It comes off like they feel they're in some exclusive club.... |

If you don't give a shit why lie? |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 128
|
it's not a lie. |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 130
|
because it isn't a lie... |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 131

Because you can say "near pittsburgh", "outside Pittsburgh" or |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 132
|
and so what if I don't? |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 133

the San Francisco 49ers are liars too. |

The differences between city/suburban schools can be huge |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 134
|
And sometimes the experiences aren't that different. |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 147
|
As adults, it matters if you're a homeowner or have kids |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 152
|
and when ppl 'claim' it falsely your kid's school suffers. |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 154
|
we've already established that it doesn't effect my life, but |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 155
|
That scenario actually has nothing to with his point. |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 156
|
Henrico County lost money when it's residents told ppl |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 159
|
How come no one will answer why it matters enough to falsely-claim? |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 157
|
Because it is a childish and fatuous demand. No one can answer |
|
Jan 07th 2015 | 158

it. is. not. a. lie. |

can't this be true of ppl living in the same city limits though? |

Jan 07th 2015 | 136

Jan 07th 2015 | 137

IKR... I get the differences with schools, taxes, police and such.. |

In all likelihood, your cousin lives closer to downtown NYC |

I got an earful of southside Irish when I called Beverly "suburbs" |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 188
|
in philly it's fairly obvious and along most boundaries |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 189
|
I think it's pretty cut and dry in Orlando |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 194
|
I don't think ppl from the ATL or DC suburbs will stop claiming the city |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 196
|
Which is sort of ironic in DC |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 199
|
Yeah, when someone says they live(d) in DC, it could mean a lot of thing... |
|
Jan 08th 2015 | 201

what u just wrote makes me very little sense in regards to dc |

it's not lieing. it's a matter of convenience. |
