Touring The 'dirty South'

I'm on vacation right now in Columbus Georgia. This is my first time here, and so far it's semi-enjoyable. I had no idea how warm and humid the air is down south. I've been told many times it's *hot* down here; however, I might aswell be in a sauna! Anyways, I have to bring back a few gifts for friends and such. Could someone point me in the right direction? (shopping malls, strips, etc.) I'm looking for more of the 'inner-city' lifestyle. I was hopping to find some graffiti to photograph while I'm down here, but so far I haven't seen anything. Help?

    Go to Atlanta, you'll find malls there.

    Go to a train yard, you'll find graffiti.

    Go to Raleigh North Carolina. You'll find black people who think they're gangster.
    They really aren't.

    Our gang population percent is only in the top 100s, (159 or something I believe). nothing like atlanta or detroit.

    I'm not looking for black people. I guess you we're being sarcastic but; really, I just want to locate the 'inner city' hot spots. I guess I'm being too vague. Is Colombus really boony-ish in comparison to Atlanta?

    My advice is to get out of the South, but avoid everything to the West also stay away from the North. Keep out of Mexico and Canada is boring.

    I don't recommend any of Africa, Europe, or Asia, and stay off our Ice Caps as well.

    Also Australia has man eating dragons so I would keep out.

    Other than that there are plenty of cool places to visit.

    Considering the only Columbus I know of is in Ohio...

    Atlanta is where all the real OG gangsta mofos live. Like Lil John. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well I live in Metro Atlanta. Atlanta's not too shabby, high crime rates, though. 5th in the nation.

    I live in Huntsville, Alabama. The only fault I can find in my city is that we have a bunch of retarded white teens that think they are black and talk about gettin totally drunk every weekend.

    I've lived here all my life and used to be all "omgz south sux" but I've grown to love it.

    I think it's an insult to OGs everywhere that you even consider a "Durtah Souf" hillbilly like Lil John to be gangsta. Ice T is an OG, son, not some country bumpkin with a pound of ice on his wrist.

    If you want a cool "inner city" Southern experience, I would try looking for BBQ and blues joints. If there's anything good the south has, it's ribs and soul.

    You know, those dragons are a major problem for the ecosystem down here. They're an introduced spieces, and they compete with the native drop bears for food (not to mention the damage to livestock). In fact, I hear the CSIRO are working on an anti-dragon virus to try to control the population.

    Hmph, I'm not even trying to 'experience the south.' I could care less really...It if was up to me, I'd be in NYC right now. However, my luck just so has it that I'm here. So, *where* can I find some nice stores, or some inner city night life. I'm not looking for barbeque's or blues, or what have you. Surely there has got to be some 'down-town' like area around here right? I'm sure I can find what I'm looking for in Atlanta...I was just wondering if anyone knew of something closer. If anything I'll just venture down into Atlanta for a day or two.

    Hah, yes I know this area isn't really known for it's amazing street art. I didn't come here looking for it though, I just figured while I'm here if there's any spots to check out I might aswell peep 'em.
