Its definately not the same though.. I every area that is home to me in the bay area is different and I still refer to them as if they were in late 80's/early 90's condition so I understand referencing your hood in that respect. However the village is not standing and when people make remarks such as , " Yuk is scared to come to the vill etc... " you act as though those projects that Ant and his brother along with a number of other bosses ran while they were alive that was rampant with drugs and poverty are still physically standing...( I dont know what buildings you cats are referring to but the both complexes were torn down).. on 69th there is a new housing development and on 65th there is a vacant lot with piles of debris...
Another example of this is how no one refers to Ghost Town projects(Cypress, and Acorn) that are no longer standing but the areas in which they are located in are still serious.....
