What is mount Vernon?

A city that's getting more and more dangerous each day. I grew up there and its really sad to see what goes on in Mount Vernon today. Gunshots are a normal sound now. If you see something red on the sidewalk, its blood, not a popsickle stick that a kid dropped. So much stuff happens there that it isn't even put on the news anymore.

My uncle was carjacked in Mount vernon two days ago.

Mount Vernon - what is it?

Mount Vernon is a town split in half. A bridge divides this 4 square mile town between a ghetto and a pretty nice surburban neighborhood. Unlike some of the definitions of my counterparts, the dividing line is not black/white, it is between urban/surburban. My whole family is "white" and I grew up on the ghetto side. So, by default, there must be more than one or two white people. Sorry guys your definition is inaccurate.
Mount Vernon also has an underfunded public school system, which suited me just fine. Life is what you make out of it. You can grow up poor on the ghetto side of mount vernon go through an underfunded school system and still make something of yourself.

Mount Vernon is the exact opposite of some of its neighboring towns. You have to work harder when your from Mount Vernon to get certain places, but it is worth it. Mount Vernonites learn the value of hard work.

What does "mount Vernon" mean?

MurDaVille, Money Earnin', Mo V., Da Ville, Murda Mount are all the same thing. 1 of 3 NYC suburbs on the north border of the Bronx (Mt.Vernon, Yonkers and New Rochelle). Consists of 3 main neighborhoods: Fleetwood, Chester Heights, and Da Ville. Fleetwood is rich people (from what I hear), Chester Heights is too, and Da Ville is the ghetto. There is one project on 3rd and 7th called Levister Towers. Everywhere else in Da Ville is depressed and ghetto. The only 2 shopping centers are The Ave. (4th Ave.), and Gramatan Ave. Rich, white folks go to Gramatan to shop, hood people go to the Ave. Has the highest crime rate in Westchester county. Also has a higher crime rate than NYC(check the stats). Home of world famous strip club Sue's Rendezvous. Childhood home of up and coming rapper PureComp. More recently, the home to the MurDaVille Bloods, mainly on 3rd and 3rd. Only 4.2 square miles. Rejected by NYC and Yonkers. Yonkers people swear they better than us. Guess what? You're not. Start a conversation with anybody 4rm Y-O and the first thing they'll say is, "Well in Yonkers..." MURDAVILLE STAND THE F**K UP!!!!! S. FULTON AVE. ALL DAY!!! R.I.P. 2-5.

1.Nas: To everybody in Queens, the foundation
The world is yours
To everybody uptown, yo, the world is yours
The world is yours
To everybody in Brooklyn
Y'all know the world is yours
The world is yours
EVERYBODY IN MOUNT VERNON, the world is yours
Long Island, the world is yours
Staten Island, yea the world is yours
South Bronx, the world is yours
Aight

2.Mt. Vernon person: "Let's go to the Ave."
Yonkers person: "Well in Yonkers we go to the square, hah."
Mt. Vernon person: SHUT THE F**K UP ABOUT YONKERS!!"

3."Yo, they call it MurDaVille 4 a reason, B. South Fulton is crazy."

Mount Vernon - meaning

often thought of as the ghettoest place in westchester, mount vernon actually contains one million dollar houses in overlapping areas neighboring country clubs in the "elite" bronxville, eastchester, and tuckahoe towns made up of very irish and italian imigrants. the other half is a scaryass place that half the city has never been to, you know, or else they'd get shot.

Person One: "I live in Mt. Vernon."
Person Two: "Oh..."
Person One: "No, no, but I REALLY live in Bronxville."
Person Two: "Ohhhh!"

Mount Vernon

aka MurdaVille aka Money Earnin' Vernon where stars are from...

Home of: Phylicia Rashad (Bill Cosby's TV Wife), Denzel Washington, Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, Heavy D, Al. B Sure, Ben Gordon (on Chicago Bulls), Lynn From "Good Day NY" (Fox 5 Morning News), Misa Hylton-Brim ,etc!!!

Borders the Bronx

Yes it's Ghetto, but has come up. Both rich and average class folks live there. Most hated on city in Westchester County, and often imitiated..never duplicated. Yonkers, New Rochelle,etc can complain but MV has its history. If Mt. Vernon had as much economic support and land as the other cities, it would be even better!

Person 1: "I'm from Mount Vernon"
Person 2: "Where is it located?"
Person 3: "In Westchester...Next to the Bronx, New Rochelle & Yonkers"

- Mount Vernon Boys' Basketball Team: Successful State Champions several times in a row

- Mount Vernon High School students accepted in top schools such as NYU,Columbia University, Cornell University, UPenn, Princeton, Yale,etc often...so the education must be decent here.

Mount Vernon

money earnin' mount vernon is the city that heavy "d", denzel washington, and dick clark hail from. (to name a few) (yeah i hate hate dick clark too but whatever) no matter where a kid grows up here they can walk to a ghetto or a extremely wealthy neighborhood, thus creating a keene sense of social class division at a young age...
which can explain why the middle to lower class people from here will forever be chasing paper, and the wealthier people will forever be moving out of town.

Middle Class Person: "Today I walked the length of Gramatan Ave. South to North.. at first I felt as I may get jumped, but by the end people looked at me as I may jump them."
