Two's up, It's a two's up

As the title implies, noble readers, the post is a two for one deal. You read that right: this post will give you two glorious pieces of weave. Unlike the first post, which featured two pieces of weave within one city block in Baltimore City, below will compare weave from two different cities. It is an exciting day, as we will finally talk about cities we have never discussed before. Let's begin.
A buddy of mine from the ultimate frisbee team, Julian, emailed me this picture:

In this instance, we have an interesting conundrum: is this weave, or is this not weave? When an extension is woven into the hair, or glued to the scalp, or carefully clipped, it is not so easy to say whether or not it is real. Does that woman have extensions? Is she fakin' it? Is her hair really that lustrous and voluminous? We don't know. We can't tell. When the weave, like a bad graft, rejects the recipient and flees, it is easier to investigate and ask big questions. This could be weave; or it could be wrapped string since dropped by a crafts enthusiast. As Dr. Dog has said, the world may never know.
This piece was found in Towson, Maryland at the Towson Public Library. Now, Towson is not a city, but a "community" says www.maryland.com. It is a bustling suburb nearly 15 minutes outside of the limits of Baltimore City, and home to the original bagel haven of Towson Hot Bagels. As an aside, THB has become a chain and spread to locations such as the Baltimore neighborhood of Canton- a Towson Hot Bagel in Canton. The wonders never cease. And they continue here: according to www.maryland.com, Towson is an anomaly with a population of 0, with a population density of 0.00 people per square mile. Unless my four years spent in Towson, Maryland was an elaborate ruse organized with the timeless movie The Turman Show in mind, this information is false. Well done, internet. But for those hoping to check Towson out for themselves, the visit Towson page on www.towson.com does not work. Maybe my theory is not far off...
Now for the summary as my writing has already become long winded:
Towson hosts about 53,000 residents- 50,000 of which are students at Towson University (based on how many of them regularly make the lines unbearable at Pasta Mista and the liquor store). Overall the income for Towson is above average for the state of Maryland, the former being $72,000 and the latter being $69,000. In regards to the demographics of the population: 81% is white, 8.4% is black, 4.9% is asian, 3% is hispanic, and the lingering "other" constitutes 1.9%. Interestingly, "American alone" is listed as 0.2% of Towson's population. Who are these people? I'm assuming the residents who registered to vote under the Tea Party.
And now on to our next piece. This one was lovingly sent to me by my friend Quinn who has recently rejected the title of "Yankee" to pursue a life in the South. While settling in, she found this piece of weave that she then passed a couple more time while riding the trolley. Your first thought should be, if you don't live in San Francisco or West Philadelphia, "the trolley? Did she actually land herself in an episode of the twilight zone where the trolley is still a notable form of transportation?" No, dear readers. She is simply in the south. There is a slight difference.

Oddly enough, New Orleans, where this weave was found, is slightly more complicated to summarize than Towson, Maryland. Contain your shock. This weave, notably more like weave than our first picture, was found along St. Charles Ave.
New Orleans isn't all sadness and the lower 9th ward, it is also full of history, art, music, good people, delicious food, and a strong spirit. New Orleans has a grime recent history and many have written off the city as a new Detroit. I have been to both places, and I can say, in all seriousness, that both of these cities are two of the most memorable and enjoyable places I have been in the United States. Blah, blah, blah. New Orleans is located in southeastern Louisiana, straddling the Mississippi River, and was founded in 1718. It also goes by the aliases NOLA and The Big Easy.
And, now, weave. According to www.neworleans.com, St. Charles is “The Jewel of America’s Grand Avenues", as it boasts the largest collection of mansions in the south. Kudos. Also taken from the previously cited website, "The Avenue is also in glorious state as the place of residence for historic Audubon Park, for the City’s renowned centers of higher education – Loyola and Tulane – and a score of churches and Synagogues that are our City’s major centers of worship". I had no idea there were synagogues in the south- and my family is Jewish. Within the New Orleans parish, the actual population is 354,850. Whereas the overall income average for Louisiana is $42,492, the average income for the parish is $36,468. I highly doubt it is the residents of the St. Charles Ave. area bringing down the average. To break down the population demographics, we have Mo Rocca (just kidding, I am just trying to up my intellectual hipster street cred):
61.2% of the population is black, 29.8% is white, 4.7% is hispanic, 3% is asian, 1.1% is the mysterious other, the now common title of "American alone" comprises 0.1% of the population, and finally 0.1% of the population is Mardi Gras parade floats.
