So to this day, some people from elementary school know me as the kid from NYC, or that man from Cleveland lol. When I realized that recently, I went

. But still, I always rep Cleveland when someone asks unless they ask where I was born. But my families roots are all NYC. My uncles, cousins, aunts, etc..

But you know you were born in NYC when your Social Security Number starts with '0'

.

WORD!!! I never noticed that. All my friends have socials that start with "0"

why do you know all your friends socials begin with 0... ?

Lowkey I've always wanted to go to high school in NYC just to ride the subways every morning.
I just felt like it had to be fun to do that every morning until I found out about the people that get on those trains.

i got a bunch of dudes out here in cali that know about the halal spot.

i would say ask them to prounounce houston st and grennwich village.   i went to a mets game with a member on here and a few friends and everyone gave him that look when he pronounced houston st  like the way you would say the name of the city the rockets and astros play in.

You'll know is someone is from NYC (or atleast BK) if they can tell you what the old Atlantic Ave Terminal used to look like.
or if they from the BX, what supermarket and project buildings do you have to walk by to get to the Bronx Zoo

Very simple... ask them where's Houston St and see how they pronounce Houston. NYers are the only people that pronounce Houston different from everyone else

I believe it's pronounced as 'HOUSE-THEN'.

I remember my folks talking about this a couple years back...

.

And it's not how people in NY pronounce Houston that way, it's just that specific street.

To tell a real authentic BK dude [since that's the boro cats always false claim] ask em where their parents took them for school supplies growing up if they don't say Bobby's or Conway 9/10 their not an authentic BK head!

I used to go to Caldor on the top floor of the Atlantic Center before it shut down. Went to Rite Aid ever since. Bobby's was too far and Conway was always a mad house.

I hate cats who pose to be Los Angelians and NY-ers

Had this girl from the South Bay saying he was from LA. People constantly think just because they're from the LA county that they're from LA

My idea of living at a set location is when it's in your damn address. If it doesn't say LA or NY, you ain't from there.

SMH @ liars.

 

[inspektahdeck]
