NOLA is no where near the East Coast.

Well it's kinda considered in the "Southeastern" portion of the U.S.
In gang terminology...it's considered on the "east coast"....


FYI..
I am NOT a member of any gang ...neither do I have any affiliation nor have I ever had any affiliation with any of them. I just have read about them back when they were extremely popular in the 90's.

Cause I've been through some stuff with folks on here. I'm trying to be more cautious this time around...
How long have you been out of AL?

I was there as a kid for a short time. But mostly, raised in IN.

Understood. My point is that, generally speaking, if i say I live on the east cost of the US, NOLA is definitely not one of the places that would come to mind. Or is it? I take it you are an American?

I think what she means is that in gang culture, there is just east and west coast. And New Orleans is east not west.
Geographically, you are right, New Orleans is south.

Yes....Black American/Nigerian.
You are right...but there's a certain imaginary line that is drawn on a U.S. map that would say that the states to the left of that line are considered "west coast"...& the states to the right are considered "east coast".
I was thinking that the crips/blood rivalry was mainly between Cali and New York..
