misconceptions about your city

[cash money 1999]

MIAMI

everyone thinks miami summers are 

but honestly its ALOT of rain , hurricane season , mosquitos and its 90 degrees with humidity so its musty

best time in miami BY FAR november-march ....barely any clouds , breezy and mid 60-70's alot of the time

LA

That you'll see celebrities all the time. Only in certain areas.

That everyone is fake or wanna be actress. Again only in certain areas, most ppl are regular folks like any other city

Orlando.

That its all Disney and that's it. We've got a great (but small) downtown that pops the eff off. Sunday Funday in Orlando is wild .

arent like 90 percent like in a either runyon canyon exercising or sunset strip or rodeo drive

thats a small area considering how big the city is

 

[mangudai954]

Never understood why some Miamians refer to Broward as "the fields".

 

[rell826]

That NYC has no houses and backyards. People actually believe this.

That's good to know. I had that misconception.

I guess it depends on what scene you're trying to fit into. I think some people go out there and try to fit in that scene and get rejected/cant keep up and get mad and just go off on that scene alone when it's not a real representation of the place as a whole. They're the vocal minority. Makes sense.

Detroit...

Everything you've heard about San Diego is true. We have the best weather and women and is the best place to live in America.

Philadelphia

The hood is bad yea, but if you chill downtown the crime isn't even a problem

I always wondered about Detroit.

Atlanta.

Yes, it seems to be an influx of homosexuals, but to be honest, they keep to themselves. Plus, from what I've seen, they tend to congregate in different hubs around the city. For the most part, they seem to have gotten tired of being ridiculed by the masses, so they've become recluse and stick to their own crowd. In my experience living in Atlanta, they only "try you" if you give them reason to. If you treat them like any other person on the street and not make it a point to acknowledge their gayness, you've got nothing to worry about.

Other than that, the ******* are indeed bad as all ***** in this city. You can see a classy joint with high hopes, aspirations and a good head on her shoulders walk by, followed by the most beautifully ratchet joint wearing them shorts that show all of her thighs, thus revealing the tattoo that proves without a doubt that the ***** is indeed part cheetah.

I don't know any about Minneapolis so I have nothing to defend.

Op is right. Fl summers suck. Especially inland it's hotter. :x I used to spend my summers between ft Myers and Jacksonville.

NYC

That we think we're the best and center of the universe, etc.

We don't think that, we know it.

I approve of this message.

Most ppl are very Materialistic...VERY

MIlwaukee

When I tell people I'm from Milwaukee when I'm out of WI, I get one reaction mostly...

"They have black people in Wisconsin?"



From the census.

People QuickFacts Milwaukee Wisconsin
