Rice Krispies:
Much ~ma for Maria and husband. Thinking good thoughts for you today, sorella.
Also, ~ma for Matt's friend and hoping there's no major surgeries involved.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I have a fictional upper middle class black couple--the wife is a lecturer and the husband is an engineer, and they live in an affluent black suburb, and they're not *too* far from a Jamaican community. Where can I set this story?

Glam - all cute shoes. . . I find myself drawn to the idea of your little one and his mamas in matching footgear. . . there should be pictures.

I missed this discussion yesterday. PG County would work, but the LeDroit Park (where I live) would work as well. However, neither of them are places where white faces would be out of place.
I don't know of a specific Jamaican community in DC, but it would be located in or around U Street or Adams Morgan. Again, places where white faces would not be out of place.

If my forehead is itchy and hurts a bit, does that make me Harry Potter, and Voldemort is nearby? Mmmm maybe not. But I am at doc office waiting to have stitches come out. While I want them out, not looking forward to the actual removing process.

I'm looking for somewhere where they're not being run out on rails, just that people look at them with a bit of amusement. They definitely catch attention, and when one wants to go clubbing or something, the other suggests they just skip it and drink in the hotel room. I want them to feel a minority in the face of black America, and a minority in the face of Jamaican expats too. Double whammy.
I could kinda do this in Detroit, but not in 2010 or 2011.

What about Baltimore or Philly?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need a university for her to teach in, a place for him to engineer in (or suitable other jobs), and a black community where two tall white guys turn heads, and a Jamaican community big enough to have an Obeah woman. Would Baltimore or Philly satisfy that?

Atlanta might, though it's been long enough since I've lived there that I can't say specifically.

ah, I see. Then they should go somewhere like Bohemian Caverns. I was there for a reggae group once and the few white faces were looked at askance. But, this was a few years ago, so it may have gotten more integrated with the neighborhood.
