Just a Baltimorean driving around city streets... mostly Baltimore, but I get around to other cities too from time to time. Occasionally I'll offer my thoughts on some issues that seem relevant, sometimes I won't. Let me know what you'd like to see more of and I'll do my best to get it.
I grew up in Chester. We had fun as kids. We would ride the bus from West End to downtown n eat lunch at Leon's. We went all over n never had problems. The various schools had dances n there were block parties. The various churches would have bizzars. It was fun
my old neighborhood mid 60's, specially from 30th street and beyond , i see the old fire station right before 32nd everything else is unrecognizable til you get to 33rd st and see the historic boulevard movie,
And this is where Subaru of America, Inc. Park, home of the MSL's Philadelphia Union soccer team is located. And I'm from North Jersey (Passaic County, New Jersey). 🤦♂️
Back in the day yes. Nowadays I'd say no. I live on Smithers Street behind the old Sacred Heart Hospital now it's Everest. I never seen any gang activity. When I used to live on Honan street in Highland Gardens back in 2000 I did. Smithers is also in Highland Gardens. It's quiet now. @@thestreethistorian
I'd say Camden is looking pretty good by this video. A LOT of trees, wow! And a number of residential blocks that look much better than they did 10-20 years ago!
Billionaire Jerry of Ben and Jerrys came into co op art gallery in Downtown Chester...they said the samething about Dumbo Red Hook Harlem..Dont listen to pp who want ur town..NYC 90 MILES the north Washington 90miles to the south..with a Amtrak station in the middle of town.
I bought a house there and lived there for ten years, no problems except people on my block were so low class! throwing trash in the alleys, parking wherever they wanted, just low life.
Eastern end of Washington Boulevard is where the bulk of the growth is. It’s still looking for the best retail mix but row homes are being rehabbed. That synergy has to expand westward though. Super happy a new Grocer is coming to Mount Clare Junction.
No disrespect but the look pretty nice compared to Morrell park. Washington blvd the 24 25 26 hundred block it’s awful there now.. I’m so glad I don’t have to live there anymore. Thanks for the video ❤❤❤❤
Where Out of the Furnace was filmed. Friend's brother has been living there for about 20 years (he is white). Bought his house a few years ago for $16K. Place is a sh**hole.
