You could only know the differences between both sides if you studied the people for years. I always viewed the Dec as an island. Although we had our rough parts in the SWATZ(Adamsville,OC,Carver Homes,Pittsburgh,some parts of Campbellton Road), I thought that Decatur had this vibe that was separate from any other part of Atlanta. The nuccas seemed more grimey, the girls were freakier and everybody (even the kids from the burbs)had a little more hood in them. Dudes from the Dec was quicker to pop off while the cats from the SWATS would usually only mess you up when you crossed them. To me, Cascade represents the entire scope of black America. On one street, you have several fckd up traps, a decent working class and doctors and lawyers who got bread for days. And like Cascade, the SWATZ seems to have a little more balance in that you have thugs, average folks and ma-fuckers who know what it takes to get bread. Not to say that the Eastside doesn't have those elements, it's just a different mentality on the other side of I-20. But with so many folks from other cities moving here,the east and west side has been diluted to the point where it's hard to tell who is from where.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849197989457216262.post-24982806673841104832007-08-16T00:58:00.000-04:002007-08-16T00:58:00.000-04:00Yeah.

I even plan on throwing up a post on it.<br><br>I loved your ATL insight. You right about the Westside though. Those cats are more rooted in what is going down with the government. H-Rap kicked it there and many other cats with knowledge. I loved cruising RDA Blvd, The Uni center,and Bankhead. <br><br>For a white dude it was a revelation seeing what life was like on the other side.

I was googling the Marta train and it came up in the search. I'm actually surprised more ATL cats don't put the Marta in their vids. Them new york cats use the Subway all the time. Video was funny. I even heard its getting a few spins on a station. I just moved to College Park. 904-476-5282Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
