LOL! Okay.

There's a difference from going somewhere, and actually going to a place, and embracing that place's history/culture.
And? You don't know me, or anything about me. You have absolutely no idea how I travel.

I'll be attending Caribana in Toronto in a few weeks, you probably wouldn't know too much about it, or how much it means to Toronto's Urban Culture.
Guess again, kid. I've lived in Mississauga. I've been going to Toronto since before you were born, I know more about it than you ever will.

You've been to places, but your mind is still stuck in Atlanta. Whenever I travel, I blend in and adapt. You're not letting yourself become objective to the ideas and distinctive cultures that surround you; and that's how you've come to where you're at now...
Again, you don't know anything about me. To assume and state this crap is the most delusional thing you've posted yet.

You've been proven wrong, repeatedly. You were caught in an outright lie. You have continued to move the goalposts throughout this diatribe as it's suited your strange agenda.

In other words, you will stop at absolutely nothing to prop Birmingham up to absolutely insane levels with beyond outrageous claims. You're an embarrassment to Birmingham in my opinion, and a discredit to the more level-headed posters from there.

And I don't believe you've been to 1/10 of the places you claim to have visited.

Considering your lack of acknowledging the local culture and distinctiveness between two cities, you're not doing a very good job influencing that.

lol you lived in Sauga; if the TTC couldn't get you home, then you're not from Toronto. I'm not from there, and still probably have more of an idea of what's going on locally than you do.

I don't have to know you, it's implied with how you're posting. I have yet to be proven wrong, considering you haven't even remotely sat there to let yourself engulf the idea of Atlanta and Birmingham being two distinctively different cities; your only response was that I was..yet again delusional, even though I've posted proof of various sources literally explaining the same exact thing, the SAME exact thing lol. You're honestly acting like such of a carajito to the point where it's blatant stubbornness.

I could care less about being an embarrassment to Birmingham, I'm not even from there to even give a crap lol. And nor do I care enough to get validation from other Birmingham posters.

You don't have to believe it; my hobby and career allows to me travel to various cities. And if you've haven't caught wind of it yet, it's 2017, traveling or "road-tripping" has become a common thing among millennials; I mean jesus christ, my previous ex lived in Houston, and the one I'm trying to talk to now lives in Toronto, lol. Like I said before, I come from a very diverse family, we're all over, from Dallas to the Dominican Republic.

I don't think there are any prototypical cities for regions. Also don't think there is any reason to subdivide the US into regions.

OK City or even Fort Worth are the prototypical cities for the South-Central United States.

New Orleans' influences stretch from Houston to Pensacola. It's very unique but its also representative.

Mobile Bay is still part of the Gulf. It's a bay of the Gulf, just like Tampa Bay. One wouldn't say that San Francisco Bay is not the Pacific Ocean.

I love how this thread is about ALL the US regions, but 90%+ of the discussion is on the South, and 80% is on Birmingham and Atlanta -.-

And I fail to understand why a particular Georgia poster aka newsboy always gets his or her panties in a bunch when it comes to Birmingham. Did someone from the area **** in your cereal or something? This person has white hot hate when it comes to anything Birmingham. Pretty lame if you ask me.

The back and forth between OT and the various Atlanta posters is the most pointless ive ever seen on city data. Atlanta is the bigger city, etc so whats the big deal or why even care about what is going on here?
