How to tell if you're in the hood.

[Senoska]

1: Excessive presence of blacks
2: No traffic on the streets
3: Bars over windows/doors.
4: Lights over stores only work some of the time. CVS just turns into "V".
5: Burned down houses or houses with living room furniture on the porch


How do you guys tell?

I'd like to how how to tell when I'm NOT in the hood (besides the opposite of your list obviously).

6.- Rap and or Hip-Hop music.
7.- Water hydrants leaking water. (Robocop we salute you (*'.')/ )

Probably the best way to get a gauge is to go downtown and then head just west beyond the Marquette campus. As soon as you step outside, it's pure bonafide ghetto.

Point 1 needs broadening. You could say that about a number of ethnic groups.
Point 2 needs clarification. Daytime? Sure, there may be a number of people. Nighttime? Fuck no.
Point 3 is a given.
Point 4 I can see.
Point 5, yes and no. I live right smack dab in the college neighborhood and I see furniture outside all the time. However, the burned down or abandoned buildings is definitely a given.

Brings up a good point. Usually the vehicles are busted down pieces of shit hanging on by a thread. There's always some major defect.

And if there isn't, chances are you'll find said car with a broken window and a stereo system ripped out.
