southpark

A neighborhood in the south side of Houston, TX (south central /southeast houston to be more precise) commonly heard of in many houston hiphop tracks and highly represented by many houston rappers native or keen to the area (also the location of screwed up records and tapes - shop of the late dj screw, from which he allegedly hails from; and unofficialy the screwed up click; SPC (South Park Coalition), and SPM (South Park Mexican) - among many others).

The neighborhood is located square between (highways) the South Loop East (I-610), beltway 8 expwy / sam houston tollway (south / east), I-45 South (gulf frwy) and 288 South (south frwy). The exact location would actually be on MLK blvd, south of 610 where, upon entering, you will see the "Southpark" declaration sign 'welcoming' you to the neighborhood. The size of the community is not exactly known, some might say the perimeter is approximately bounded by South 610 East, Cullen Blvd (even as far as scott st), Mykawa Rd (or even around reed rd), and Bellfort Ave - some MIGHT say.

Back in the day, MLK blvd actually was named Southpark blvd and it started out as a middle/working class white neighborhood. Eventually, most of the white populous moved out, while at the same time, more middle/lower-middle/working class to quite low-income blacks began moving in. Today, southpark is predominantly a black neighborhood.

What `hood dost I rep thou sayeth young squire? why South Park, but of course!

Well, I must say sir, I'm quite partial to the Timmy Chans in South Park - the original...some say.

Ah, yes, quite right thou is, quite right good sir!
