but it would only be a two year stint in dallas or if that doesn't go through it's looking like my next option is charleston.

as much as i love living above and just below the Mason-Dixon line, these winters are starting to suck and going south is sounding more and and more appealing

Best of luck. Don't end up with a shag either.

ATL won... the lady has family there and it's always been a minor plan to live out there for at least a few years at some point.

But I'd love to make a life in N'Awlins.

Because to me anything past Cincinnati is southern

but back then it was very Southern. I'd argue that of the major Texas cities, it's the least Southwestern and most Southern.

my neighborhood reminded them of la jolla
i live in The Galleria

3rd ward houston looks like southeast san diego or south central LA

i was trying hard to find them someothing that was quentisentially HOUSTON and not look like cali
the only thing i could come up with is River Oaks

It should be nice to catch up with old friends. May even get some new ink.

i'd say montrose = kensington/adams ave/hillcrest in san diego
maybe melrose in LA

museum district is balboa park in san diego

san francisco might better offer more exact replicas of these two nabes tho

you could say ray st, but there are no galleries there anymore
you could say barrio logan, but those are craftsman and not artists (no judgement, there just aren't any galleries there)

space4art is about it and it's in the east village

san diego doesn't have an art scene, everything is spread out and ppl are fleeing the city for LA

Houston reminded me a lot of LA for some reason.

And I found a reasonably good Jewish deli down there, so I'd survive.

New Orleans is just great on a lot of levels though. I've got friends down there, my wife's got family. I hated the humidity, and the French Quarter basically reminded of the LES in the late 80s, but I could keep a pistol on me at all times, which I think balances the whole thing out.

Houston's diverse, has good eats and plenty of jobs. I wouldn't be thrilled driving everywhere, but I think I could cope. Also? Central air.

AND HOW YOU GONNA SAY IT'S NOT A SOUTHERN CITY WHEN IT HAS CHIK-FIL-A

NO seems like a good idea on paper but ionno. I think the idea sounds better than the reality.

Never been to Houston

I live in Charlotte tho and have no desire to live in any other southern city.

New Orleans seems like the most fun in the least about of square footage which is what is the major appeal of East coast city life is. the metropolitian area is more condensed than sprawling and i like that. especially in DC.

with that said. i might end up in Atlanta soon. i really don't wanna live there. i think i'd enjoy myself but not as much as i would in DC. but...i'd live like a fucking king. and i wanna live like a fucking king.

Don't quote me on that though

I like a dense, urban city, and love the character of the city. I can't fuck with sprawl at all, and Houston is probably the most generic big city in the country.

@geahuwine

Obviously my choice and still is today. I haven't been to Houston yet but I doubt it's better than the A

New Orleans, I think is cool, but I find it very overrated and feel like a lot of ppl didn't give a fuck about it being "cool" until solange and brad Pitt moved down there and of course they weren't checking for it before Katrina

Atl been popping and popular

prototype

stand ur ground, believe in urself,
believe in love, prepare urself for love, remove the negativity from ur life, and accept the love u kno u deserve

but I think people always thought NO was a unique, almost magical city. It's easily one of the most romanticized American cities.

i still blame hip-hop.

live in houston
deal with fuckery from rental units in atl
nawlins is a 4hrs drive from my house

i dont know if nawlins is cool to live in and make a life out of day in day out

schools are all TRASH in nawlins
you MUST go pprivate

in atl/hou there are some decent schools depending upon where you live

i choose houston as texas has no state income tax
and we are 30mins from the water (Kemah) with some of the best seafood you can have
and since we close to nawlins we get truckloads of crawfish too

AKA a gang of Mexicans

New Orleans is dope but I already drink enough. Seems like the type of town folks drink real heavy (even though NYC ranks up there too)

I haven't been to Atlanta in a long time but I used to love it when I'd go. Unfortunately, one of my recent requirements for a city is that it has to be near a big body of water.

New Orleans is dope too although I'm less sure about living there.

I've never been anywhere in Texas but I'd like to visit. How far is Houston from the coast? And that post yesterday talking about 30 degree weather might knock Houston off any list.

yet you want to be a african americana studies person/professional

My fam in Pittsburgh act like it's still 1960 down south....

These same family members live 15 minutes from some of the most racist little small towns outside of Pittsburgh.

when they go down south for a family trip and see a pickup truck with a rebel flag they act shook as shit. All while living 10 minutes from towns with racist white people with pickup trucks who have no problem letting people know they don't fuck with Black people.

think they "classy" because they went to the AUC and act like reality TV show stars BAMMAS.

I could make a whole separate post going in on ATL.

As stupid as thinking that every man in Philly had a thick beard and said yerp

ATL is way more than y'all silly stereotypes.

I think these reality shows have people all fucked up on what ATL is like.

When I go I have a great time but then again I never bought into the Southern stereotypes and spent half my life down here.

people in ATL are no more annoying than NYC "nah mean" niggas or shady Philly/Jersey niggas

There is nothing else to New York.

Only Manhattan exists, too.

That is about as accurate as you paint Atlanta. Which makes sense because someone lie you couldn't possibly have access to the real Atlanta.

For that you need to know people who matter beyond their financi plan.

"Those loud ass New Yorkers that come to ATL and can't stop talking about NYC"

This road goes both directions

A full 50% of "NYers" I met in the army couldn't tell me shit about the city.

but shit ain't that serious.

brunch you were planning for this weekend.

I still don't understand the logic of being 15 miles out from Atlanta, but still saying they live in Atlanta. Especially since it causes the kind of confusion that it does. I guess claiming "ATL" sounds a whole lot cooler than "Decatur" (pop. 20k)

"Roll me further bitch"

you have listed and seriously pondering moving to the other one after a recent visit, I'd say Atlanta is still the best city in the south to live in

Houston seems really really nice but to be fair don't know enough abt it

but

I am surprised NO is leading this poll question

I couldn't disagree more - NO of course has some attractive features to it (food/music) but unless you have money this is far from the best place to live in

The French Quarter is great and all but after awhile it gets old too after you've lived here

The blk folx here are hurting worse than any other (southern) city I've lived in or been to...there are no jobs other than service related jobs mostly in the French Quarter...the educational system is hortible and consequently that has factored into a lot of the ignorance and backwardness you see amongst the poor blk ppl

at least in Houston or ATL you have mobility
