Lead = bullets
“¡Plata o plomo!” - give me your money or get shot
“¿Plata o plomo?” - take the bribe or take a bullet

This is the capital of the province of Buenos Aires. It was planned in advance, therefore his tracing of streets is perfect inside a square. It possesses avenues, squares and strategically placed diagonals that come together in the center of the city where the Cathedral and House of Government are.
It is the perfect city to live because that thing about has everything through a big city without so much chaos and descontrol as the one that exists in a big metropolis as Buenos Aires, of which it is to 47 km.
In 1881, Dardo Rocha was elected governor of the province of Buenos Aires and on the following year he sent the project of law for which one decided to found the city of "La Plata, Argentina" like cardinal piece of news of the province. On November 19, 1882 the fundamental stone was placed.

Defined in articles as one of the best high schools in the US and the best public school in southern Maryland. But... what local teens know it as spoiled rotten, rich, druggie, sluts and oh yes, all the white people (sike we all knew that).

It is white people galore at La Plata and the only sports we can win are... you guessed right! White people sports! Golf, Tennis, Wrestling, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Ect.

But I digress, yeah... tons and tons and tons of drugs. Tons and tons and tons of STD's and lots and lots of of daddy's girls and boys running around in cars that cost more than all of St. Mary's County while putting their face in a coke bag and tokin a doobie.

Yessir that's La Plata. 6 out of 7 of the only black people in school come from the meadows and are known for their dirtiness and coming straight from DC and skipping the whole PG/Waldorf experience.

But if you ever think you see a La Plation... think to yourself. 1)Do they carry around too much money? 2)Do they wear excessive amounts of perfume/cologne 3)Do they drive a luxury vehicle worth more than your house? 4)Do they seem to be the only white people at parties in the Dorf? If you said yes to all of that, then you just might have one.
Andrea Rockefeller: OMG I am hella syced for this partay in the dorf tomorrow!!! Chill a sec... I gots to get ma dutch bag from the Beamer. Ugh like La Plata High School has so much drama. But atleast I have money!

Matthew Kennedy III: Sounds straight, hold up lemme crotch this shit before Kaylor gets at me again. My parents said I can't go to Aruba if I get caught 3 more times.

Andrea Rockefeller: Blowwwwnnn

The school that is one of the worst in the terrible Charles county of Maryland. They are a bunch of white ass broke boys who think they are rich because their daddy pays for them to have Corvettes and they live in the luxorious Swan Point. This school is full of the coke smoking acid doing crackheads who can't keep their heads straight enough not to threaten to shoot up the school. Hated by all other schools for the causing of backpacks being taken away because of too many Glocks being brought in.
Oh, shit he went to La Plata High School. He must be a dick.
