In regards to the bolded criteria, this is a black family owned company based in a small town in between Rochester and Syracuse in the Rochester metro area: https://brfoods.com/
It is in an area with some smaller communities with a visible to just above average black populations nearby and near the Finger Lakes/Lake Ontario as well.
If your raising a black son- Catholic Memorial is one of the better private/catholic school options.
This is their 2022-23 HBCU Tour. Thomas Claiborne is a black college counselor. He is also their Athletic Director and former NFL practice squad player and Boston native.
He took Juniors and Seniors on a college tour in the DMV, they went to Morgan State, Bowie State, and Howard.
Hyde Park, where CM sources many of its black students, and my hometown. This is Cleary Square. This is one of the absolute most suburban areas of Boston, still pretty walkable not that suburban. And clean..i miss clean sooo bad
And just because weather is real- and poeple always ask me..... THIS is what it looks like in an average Boston neighborhood during snowfall. Much time spent on the bus in this weather after Basketball practice... NOT MY FAVORITE THING!
Remember, this is coming from the user who supposedly doesn’t hate Philly. Lol.
Philly is too rough and low income yet lives in… Baltimore. Literally facing the same issues plaguing Philly yet Philly is the city being hated on. Caught in 4k
It’s also funny how the OP hasn’t responded yet since Philadelphia won the poll in a landslide.
But y’all don’t hate Philly or downplay it. Nah, I’m the crazy person and it’s all a big conspiracy from me.
I'm not against BBMM as a person at all. All of our interactions, be it on this thread, talking to the most obscure city threads, or in the hip-hop thread, we've always been cool and cordial. My intention was just to bring slighted comments on Philadelphia to light so he can at least see where I'm coming from.
OP is a different story though. He has always had a negative view of Philly regardless of the topic. I honestly think it's not just him either it seems like every user from Atlanta has a deep-seated dislike for Philly. Every Atlanta vs Philly ends up being locked down like the most recent one earlier this year.
Is it not a coincidence OP hasn't returned to his own thread after Philly won his poll? It really looks like sour grapes on his part. he never intended for Philly to win, and is now trying to forget about it because it goes against his beliefs that everyone hates Philly and it's a low-educated, nonbohemian, impoverished city.
I'm this close to starting another Atlanta vs Philly black-edition thread for the 20th time. Philly will win like in all the previous polls, Atlanta users will get angry and it'll just devolve into misinfo, diatribes and name-calling.
I don't even remember AQ saying that but yea I don't really like Baltinore- I feel like I probably wouldve responded with that. Philly is leagues ahead of Baltimore and I would've moved there but this was more convenient from Suitland MD.. Didn't have to switch state licenses and other things.
That being said its still rough as hell relative to Boston, for sure. That's not just the bad neighborhoods- but on balance.it is what it is. For many millions of people that's not that important. The affordability and powerful black presence and culture are more important. I understand all that.
It's always nice to see intact urban neigh orhoods, so in always down to see more places in Philly. AQ has shown me areas I wouldn't see on my own.

Do those areas include Northwest Philly neighborhoods or the Oak Lanes?
East Oak Lane is the city's best-kept secret. West Oak Lane strikes me as the rowhouse version of the east-side Kansas City neighborhood I grew up in. It and neighboring (don't-you-dare-call-it-)Cedarbrook are both Black middle class redoubts.
So is Mount Airy (where Cedarbeookers will tell you they live), though a good chunk of its Black population lives in its not-as-affluent southeast quadrant.
Germantown, where I live, is all over the map, socioeconomically speaking.
Speaking of Catholic schools and Philadelphia, I wouldn’t be surprised if many black families in the neighborhoods mentioned in the post above go with this predominantly black high school: https://www.westcatholic.org/
