>>63196230
You were super close. NJ is the place.
Most of what is referring to NY is actually referring to NYC, which may as well be part of NJ anyways.
>>63195985
If you meant a country, Australia?
>Gamble Your Childs College Fund Away or Forget About Your Troubles...
New Jersey. That song's gotta be referencing Atlantic City
>>63196275
city, but you got the right country senpai
>>63196302
bingo
>>63196272
True. I live a bit north of NYC (guessed New Jersey before I saw your post, >>63196302
was me) and used to go to school in Buffalo and basically all of NYC and Long Island is nothing like the rest of the state
>>63195795
San fran?

>>63196548
No, but you're on the right track. My city is often mentioned in that vein of discussion. Also, the boxing part is a pretty well known story
>>63196545
I was going for oregon overall
>>63196583
Philadelphia? I feel like this whole boxing/factories thing is a very East Coast thing, I live in California so it might take me a lot of tries.
>>63196615
Not Philie, but I can see you're thinking Mill Towns. My city isn't a huge name, but if you're from Cali you must see a lot of Cambodian immigrants from the Khmer Rouge, right. Well my city was one of the biggest refugee spits for them.
I don't want to give to much away, but my city was THE American mill city at the beginning of the industrial revolution. It kinda started here.
