Atlanta might, though it's been long enough since I've lived there that I can't say specifically.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

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.

When did it get so late? I've been looking at information for the UK trip all day, and I haven't packed for the beach yet! TCG is going to be home in 45 minutes and I need to pack and grab us something to eat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What neighbourhood is Bohemian Caverns in? And where are the Jamaicans from there?

not your mom's socks.
Would Baltimore or Philly satisfy that?I'm not as sure about the Jamaican communities.
Yes, I think so. Baltimore has Johns Hopkins, Loyola, and University of Baltimore. There are civil and hydro engineering projects, both civilian and through the Port.
Philly has plenty of schools - UPenn, Drexel, Villanova, etc. Engineering too, is plentiful and clients can cover the whole eastern seaboard. (At least it worked that way for my dad)

It's in the U Street Corridor. And I have no idea where they are from. I don't know if this might help, there is a Jamaican restaurant close by, Negril

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Atlanta has the universities and firms to hire engineers, but it's so spread out that the concept of neighborhood is rather diluted. The most affluent African-American community is Cascade Heights in southwest Atlanta, where Andrew Young and Hank Aaron live. I don't think it has much of a Jamaican presence. The Jamaican communities are mostly on the east side. The overlap would be Redan, parts of Stone Mountain and other communities east of Atlanta and just north of I-20. There are a number of Jamaican restaurants and clubs on Covington Hwy, and not many white faces.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Pretty much all of the NYC neighborhoods I can think of where I know affluent black people live are fairly mixed, or at least mixed enough that white people wouldn't stand out. (Actually, the only places I can think of that I've been where I felt like I stood out as a white person and most of the black people around me seemed fairly affluent were the Howard University campus and some parts of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard.)
