    Just closed on a little apartment on NE Alberta, my move in date is late May. I'm super excited to be out of the fucking 'burbs!

    Yes. I'm a social minority with a cheap car at least attempting to rough up the place a bit.

    Given what my apartment cost, I doubt everyone here is rich. It's a pretty cheap place for inner NE.

    You can only REP where u were born and raised.

    You cant say "I'm from NEP" but you can say "I live in NEP"

    Just ask where they got their gas and groceries growing up. Way to weed out the gentrification hipsters.

    Murray and TV highway for Arco and K-Mart, Albertson’s was Cedar Hills Blvd... all this is in 1990.

    I get it; I’m not from the numbers. I don’t care about saying I’m from a neighborhood. All I know was growing up my neighbor ran a meth house, and we had Neo Nazis and a biker gang down the block on Rita Ave. I’m not gentrifying shit if my childhood/teen years have anything to say. But I get it.

    My condolences, but you get what you vote for.

    NE Alberta cuts a line straight through Portlands drive-by shooting district.

    A few things you'll need to survive:

    Stay off the streets after dark, avoid neighborhood parks like your life depends on it, and do not initiate eye contact with drivers and people whose pants are falling down.
