The hot spots in NYC - True guide to the old school ways of hustling corners.

From 1996-2000 - King Coopa - Cooper Street in Brooklyn, you can pick up the Coopa Haze and the NYC Wood. Wood was this packed up weed in the shape of a square, you smoke that on the regular and you was nice.

Knock out haze - Last known spot was uptown manhattan/bronx on 172nd street and st. nicholas @ the fried chicken corner. Sealed dime bags of haze that were air sealed and had small punching gloves on them. Thats when dimes costed a dime =) This happens to be close to Audubon Street, another great haze spot

The official NYC haze, washington heights, Dykemen, Post, and Academy the home of the real haze, not the 'haze' you see in weed mags, this is where you get what you get and it gets you good.

Well those were/are the spots that gave the name to street corner hustling. They did it like no one else did it.

I'm not sure how I got in there).


LOL you did our city better justice than I did.

And yes, there are A LOT of asians here in K-W. I find that I will often be the only white girl in the midst of asians when I am on campus. However, this means we have some pretty sweet sushi bars here too

my city was burned to the ground by union troops during the american civil war.

the only building spared was st. francis xavier cathedral which still stands today. it was spared as the bishop of the dioces of alexandria begged the union troops not to burn it on the front steps of the church. here's a pic.



TMYK!

Kirkintilloch was a place of importance in Roman times, when a fort was established there on the east-west barrier across Scotland, nowadays known as "The Antonine Wall".

This was constructed around 142AD as a boundary line between Roman civilization and wilder territory not under permanent Roman control. For a short period it replaced the more southerly "Hadrian's Wall".

The departure of the Romans was followed by a Dark Age when little is known of Kirkintilloch's history, although the name "Kirkintilloch," in its original form of Caerpentaloch "The Fort at the Head of the Ridge," dates from this period.

Light began to dawn again during the twelfth century, when the prominent Comyn family established a castle in central Kirkintilloch, with a parish church to the south (at the locality now occupied by the Old Aisle Cemetery).

The Burgh of Kirkintilloch was created in the year 1211, and a local market was held weekly thereafter.

Kirkintilloch today:

My city is a thriving metropolis of asymptomatic action. The people here came from poor lower class primordial slime backgrounds, but now everyone is rich & owns mega-microns worth of hair follicle real-estate.

The population is around thirty three trillion, which is a great effort taking into account that the other day allot of us died in a war against anti dandruff shampoo.

Currently the local police are setting up speed cameras all over our city because of the problem with adolescence sperm racing. Locals are sick of wiping sperm out of their tentacles.

In Chester it is still legal to shoot a Welshman with a crossbow if he is found inside the Roman walls that surround the city centre after midnight

I dunno... my city has a lot of history, but you have to be living here and interested in history to really care I think.

I know that a lot of people travelled from Pennsylvania and settled here back in the 1800's.



waterloo also has the worlds worst bar (the starlight) and no food outlets open after the bars close.......


but symposium has great breakfasts...... and big bees......
