I am not that much into Alabama, so I don't know about those areas. I am sure someone will be happy to "school me"...
I am from California, but I did attend Spelman in Atlanta during the late 80's, so I did see the differences from Cobb and Tucker Counties to Tate and Forsyth Counties.
San Diego, California was not THAT overtly segregated from the haves and the have-nots in terms of absolutely who could not live in certain communities. That had slowly died out when all the servicemen were being shipped off to Vietnam then came home in body bags...
But we have the Uber-Riche in La Jolla, Del Mar, Torrey Pines, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe (where them Hale-Bopp folks killed themselves), and Olivehain. Some in Fallbrook and Escondido. I am talking beyond Mansions sitting on the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean with your own private beach--like Black's Beach
(it's a beach where clothing is optional).
Then we have the dirt poor areas that USED to be off Commercial Street--8 blocks outside of downtown. But now that's changed ever since Petco Stadium was built.
Hayle, it was getting so expensive in San Diego, that you couldn't own a Fridgedaire Box on asphalt in the ghetto... That's why I left.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
