I never listed one of these area's ghetto except Kensington - so the only ghetto you've really spent any time in was Kenzo...Ok Good for you....NOW TALK ABOUT WHAT GOOD HAPPENING THERE DAMNIT....And LEAVE PITTSBURGH OUT OF THIS....
I do believe that your quote was that every neighborhood outside Center City are "war zones", your words by the way, and I was pointing out how sorely mistaken you are. And please read my second paragraph, I believe I fully represented goodness in Philadelphia. Word of advice. If you are going to write absolutes that are blatantly false ("We don't kill our cops in Pittsburgh" and "All areas outside Center City are war zones") you need to be prepared to be shot down. Uh, no pun intended.
Let me tell your negative ass something, I don't care if its one block of positive in Camden! I'll mention whatever city I want!. YOU were the MAIN person coming here just spread negative comments and remarks about every city but want everyone to praise Philly when I see way more negative comments about Philly on C-D. I never said I had much knowledge on Camden. Matter of fact I've only been to TWO cities I mentioned, Detroit and Cleveland and its been a while since I've been to Cleveland. Hence why I made a thread asking ppl to make POSITIVE comments on these places. BUT you were the first to complain! get over yourself! you have changed my whole damn thread to Philly vs the world and thats not what its supposed to be about it.
What in the world?
When did I "spread negative comments and remarks about every city"? Please, show me. Read comment #3. Don't tell me to get over myself, you're 100% wrong.
Pardon me for getting you so pissy- But you are pointing out the wrong person, BlackBeauty is the person you should be "complaining" about. But of course ignorance dismisses ignorance.
Here's my 1st post (since apparently, you talk out of your ass)
Quote:
Detroit used to be one of the most affluent cities in the nation with one of the strongest job markets in the nation. Motown was probably one of the most successful and most popular record company's of its time. The city still has a lot leafy neighborhoods with historic, well maintained mansions that highlights its once affluent past... Basically, the city has done a lot for itself.
I'm not sure why Philly is up there. It has its armpits like every city, but overall- it's still a thriving, historic, majorly toured city.
Baltimore has one of the best harbors in the nation, it has a a banging seafood scene, and the infrastructure of the city alone is one of my favorites (despite its vast rundown areas)- The British attacking Baltimore is what influenced the National Anthem- That alone is a pretty big deal, no?
New Orleans was once larger than NYC- It has one of the richest histories in the nation, and it's food is AMAZING. Nuff said.
My City:
Newark was a very important industrial colossus and still is to a degree. It also controlled a lot of the growing Northeast American financial growth.
International shipping has always been a major part of the NYC's economy, and Newark-Elizabeth Ports are what powers the vast majority of it.
The city has been making tremendous strides lately, it still has a long way to go, but Newark was the most dangerous city in 1996- Today it claims near the 30th spot. (not sure about the actual number)
~
What happened to these cities is a shame though. It's really hypocritical to belittle these cities when I can sit here and predict *hit holes of the future. You think the growing cities you know today aren't capable of turning into crap?
Detroit, New Orleans, and Newark were the fastest growing cities at one point-- People throw tomatoes next to a ticking bombs.
Now please, yell at a wall or something. That would make more sense in comparison.

I don't think these cities take much of a beating on CD. If anything I would say they get a lot of sympathy. It's the "new and booming" sunbelt cities that seem to get most of the hate.

It was one isolated incident by a young crazy male...and it happened in his house not out on the street but a bunch of thugs...
Pittsburgh is the 7 safest city in the US, Philadelphia is the 8 most dangerous...those are facts.
I never said ALL Philly neighborhoods, but there are a "SIGNIFICANT" AMOUNT and I listed those out, and out of the ones listed the only one you've spent time in was Kensington...PERIOD! and I dont see you refuting my list of ghetto neighborhoods either, so I must be telling the truth....
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

All you Philly people have done nothing but complain smh. "I don't know why Philly is up there" smh. Where the hell have you all been? Last I checked there are plenty of people on C-D calling Philly a bad or ghetto city. I just read another thread today saying Philly was ghetto. "Worst city in the Northeast" or something like that. I THOUGHT I was doing a favor by including Philly in my thread silly me smh. Instead of complaining about why Philly shouldn't be apart of this thread you all should have just posted some pictures, positive things in the city or SOMETHING! gosh. As for your little comments on me not knowing about Camden, once again I didn't say I did. BUT you could have kept you little negative comments.
