    if you come on here & you is from C-Town(not columbus but C-Town) & you
    don’t know this you have been overlookin’ your city. either that or you
    have never been to the poverty stricken areas in the city im from the
    cities SouthEast section of Buena Vista Rd i see it all the time in every
    part of the city except for the northside the only side not really
    affected. even tho the city is tearin’ down the ‘jects & more run down
    sections of the city & replacin’ the ghettos wit town homes

    like “bunker hill” a neighborhood of like 15,000 ppl but its upper middle
    class tho

    the rural areas?

    kill some fast food

    @RottenPeachState706 i thought the same way until i went other places (i.e.
    Atlanta, Austin TX, Dallas, Miami, L.A. and etc) to pursue my degree(s) and
    came back. Columbus Ga is devoid of any opportunity and is a Mill town. The
    best thing that anyone can do in Columbus is move away. people ignore the
    elephant in the room, Columbus is an “Old Money” city and if you’re part of
    the club then you’ll be broke if you plan to stay there.

    @dixielatino i dont know who told you that its the “best city to find a
    doctor” that HAS to be from an opinion you formed

  7. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    @ThatsMrTimex2You i been outside of C-Town myself to alot of the same
    places but i guess since i grew up here my 1st memories were here ALL the
    insight i learned from the ol heads on the block from the pain of survivin’
    here to the good times the romantic nostalgia of hard times that builds
    character in these C-Town streets i guess it formulates to the sayin’:
    “home is where the heart is” so i can understand where you comin’ from but
    i couldnt EVER say that tho i learned to much from C-Town

  8. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    i absorbed C-Towns essence like a sponge mane from every hood in the city &
    thats how i came to be a man. so no matter how hard it is it’s those
    memories when i was a youngsta that leads me to say shit can get better ya
    feel me. but on another note you are right to be real on the “Old Money”
    city sentiment BUT you have to realize the dichotomy of life in Columbus is
    rapidly changin’ the demographics do NOT reflect that “old money” way of
    life & the more black & brown that come into the city

  9. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    the more of a likelihood that THAT “old money” structure will be thrown to
    the wayside & abandoned in favor for a new prototypical modern version of
    leechin’ the wealth of & from the city

  10. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    @Blaquegoddess13 they do BUT its a limit

  11. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    @dixielatino your 1st comment had NO correlation to what you spoke about in
    your 2nd comment im FROM C-TOWN you from NEW YORK you NOT even from here
    mane i have an easy time comprehendin’ you obviously got the mental
    blockade within you to not understand what i was sayin’

  12. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    YOU said: “If you don’t have medical insurance , Columbus is the best city
    to find a good doctor for a reasonable price” I said: “i dont know who
    told you that its the “best city to find a doctor” that HAS to be from an
    opinion you formed” how in the fuck am i “having a hard time
    comprehending”? i spoke on the MEDICAL aspect of what you spoke about &
    nothin’ more b/c thats what YOU said NOT me.

  13. Nyeusi Nafsi says:

    be from the east. She was very pretty just hood lol

  17. Same Ross says:

    I remember when this hit the news this pissed alotta the rich elite off
    this type of thing ain’t nothing new people been saying this same type shit
    for years but it falls on deaf ears until you get people from the outside
    to pay attention its something that probably won’t ever change.
