Prince George's County

Part 1 of many installments....
I like where i live for some reasons and theirs a lot of reasons why i want to get out of here..
For one, There is no where good to eat aside from chains that have been strategically placed to exploit our communities( Aside from College park, a virtual "Bio Dome" of PG County). ie. Mcdonalds on every corner, a KFC built into Cheverly Terrace
apartemt complex ( a low income african/ african American apartment complex riddled with crime, there has been 3 murders there in 2 weeks) There is a popeyes/Mcdonalds in Dodge park, right outside of palmer Park and Kentland.
To top that off, right across the street is the "25 hour conveninece store/ liqours " Dubbed by the comminity "2-5" signifying the Landover area.. Really?? a liquor store is representing where your From??? tight!!

If you head south a bit more down 202 you will come across largo town center/ The Boulevard..Guess whats there?? Chick-Fillet, BOJANGLES!, Mcdonalds, taco bell... Any mom and pop Shop?? any local neighborhood deli?? nope. The community wont support it. Why?? Probably because corperate America has trained this area to only be accustomed to these establishments. Is it our fault?? Probably. The only way this area will get it self out of mediocrity and crime is by Demanding and establishing home-grown buisness'es and customers who care for and support them. Bringing in Revenue for its inhabitants and not Mcdonalds and bojangles. Do i think this will happen?? Nope. People that live in PG county seem complacent where they are. It's always dubbed "The Most affluent african-american county on the United states"...So WHat?? what are African-American's abroad (for the most part) doing?? obviously not much if PG is the "Gold Standard".
This is the exact reason it is not acceptable to stay stagnent.
Back to food. The only privately owned buisnesses are chinese carryouts (Gotta love that mambo sauce). I mean we got everything as far as carryouts, Lennys, bennys, Yums, Asian carryout, And "Landover Carryout" (Shown above) All of these have deeply fried chicken and overly sugar'ed sweet tea (further exploting black peoples chronic diseases such as diabetes). On top of that, all the profits are going to non-resisdent asian folk. Where do they live? Probably virginia and MOCO
Alot of the times i feel like im fucking crazy, like HOWCOME NO ONE SEEMS TO ADRESS THESE PROBLEMS???. So for now, ill continue eating out of those styrophone trays, gallon cups of sweet tea (With the mountains on the cup) in the plastic "Thankyou thankyou" bags. I just really hope something good to eat opens soon or atleast i get out of here before it gets too bad...
