📹 Stumping Grounds of MJofLakeland1 : My Birthplace - Lakeland, Baltimore, MD
The place where it all began just 22 years ago in the small junction style neighborhood of Lakeland. Located three miles south of downtown at the city-county line, this community has been through many phases of migration and cultural change.
The era of the 1990s sited the age of hip-hop culture overshadowing the once quint community of Lakeland. A predominantly black neighborhood begin to settle-in as most of the original residents began moving outwards into the suburbs. I was born in July 1993 at the nearby Saint Agnes Hospital. My chapter is erected at 2610 Patapsco Avenue, Arbuta Arms Apartments. The first nine years of my life were to be the building blocks of what I am today. The 2000s behold a lot of life-long learning experiences.
In come 2003. Moving to the new address of 2542 Marbourne Avenue - just three blocks from Arbuta Arms Apartments - also being the first 'non-apartment' house I will call home. Still in my neighborhood, my birthplace that I truly believe I would never, ever leave but like life portrays it, all eras; all chapters; all that you have been accustom to, has to come to an end at some point. Just two years after moving into a lovely house, my parents decide to move to Northwest Baltimore to be closer to my grandfather and their jobs. Yeah. It flipping sucks having to start over and make new friends for the first time and maybe if it was in some earlier eras where technology wasn't as powerful as it was and is today, it would have been hard to be a pariah. Well, leaving my birthplace was a punch to the gut but meeting new and even more people elsewhere turn out to not be so bad. It's not long that I live in northwest (2 years) before we chose to move back down to the south-side by the request given to me by my parents. It may not be Lakeland but it's less than a mile from there, that place is the infamous and so-called "notorious" island of Cherry Hill. Five "GREAT" years living there and the kick-start of my YouTube sub-career to what it is today.
