My siblings and I lived in Flag Projects in the 70s. We have many memories of the struggles with a single mom. However, we all became successful as a result of that struggle and the iron fist of our single mom. I’m extremely proud of my sister who became a doctor and is now a Captain in the Navy, my brother who graduated the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, myself a proud Navy Veteran who continues to serve our Veterans daily, and my youngest brother who is an IT Specialist. It’s all about survival and choices. I thank God there are some of us who grew up in those projects who made it. The families that are still there have opportunities as well to make it. I always tell young people not to allow their environment to dictate their future.
Baltimore made me and I may live out Cali now but I wouldn’t be as sharp as I am if not for where I come from. I will always have my heart in the 410 but the weed just to good out here in Cali
Same, born and raised in Baltimore. Moved to Utah a few years ago, I absolutely love it here . Baltimore is definitely a proving ground ( not in a disrespectful way,,,but it is what it is) I feel that it Forged me growing up there.
Lived there for 40 years. Outside of a few decent neighborhoods, Baltimore is a perpetually decaying shithole rife with an open air drug trade, abject poverty and a government that couldn't care less. Hurts to say, but leaving was the best decision I ever made.
Yes it is! Only place I ever lived where when living in a Penthouse apartment on top of a commercial building, you could look out the front and see what you normally do in a busy, nice business district. People going to work in business casual or nicer clothes, nice landscaping, and a few restaurants and shops. Out the BACK WINDOWS it was Crack deals, hookers, gang fights, and bullet holes all up the building to the 4th floor. We had to reinforce our bathroom window in case someone started shooting up in the air and hit it, like they sometimes did. I'll never go back for any reason. You couldn't pay me enough. The people aren't very nice either.
@@vincec.202 You are correct! We visited the city during the Super Bowl run/parade. We were SHOCKED to see people selling drugs in the open and inside of the McDonald's!! The police were all standing around talking to each other like they were on lunch break. It was unbelievable!! Two people fighting and no one bothered to stop them including the police! I nearly cried by how kids were on the streets during school hours. Now I see why they allow people to stay on corners and clean windshields without the owners permission. When we returned home everyone thought we were lying!!
I live in Lexington terrace from 1968 to 1980 not a good place to grow up. Children who grow in the projects are like kids who live in countries where they have wars you become traumatize by all the violence and then it become a Normal part of life .I never like living there .no child should have to worry about getting hurt or killed out side playing with other kids .I was glad when these buildings were destroyed .
antonio Overton the buildings themselves had nothing to do with it. They were home to poor people who were pushed aside and forgotten by our society. Lack of good job opportunities nearby led to the rapid decline of these housing projects.
nothing like 1058 Murphy homes projects 9th floor seen alot of shit there as a kid I shouldn't have growing up but I'm glad I went thru and made it out of that blessed up
How did it develop u¿? Did it inspire u to get an education,are u employed,did it teach u to b a good blk man to a gd woman,and lastly did it teach u to a gd father that's in the lives of it children? Pls do tell how it made u who u are today
alona love definitely made me stronger mind set wise to not ever allow myself to go back to that. when you come from a place like that it can make or break you,in this case it made me I graduated in 2003 from lake Clifton 3.7 average I have two years college experience I been working since a teen started with summer jobs , Cleaning schools , whatever what was available. I've donated to churches, boys and girl clubs in Baltimore, I still up to this day give homeless people money and encourage them it's not the end and it's not to late to turn your life around because it's to many of our people bashing each other. I have a great wife who I been married to for 4 years and have 3 kids 14, 13, and 12 two boys one girl I set them up all CD accounts of 5 grand each to use towards a education and better themselves something I didn't have .
I was born and raised in Baltimore, Md. All they did was make the projects look nice but the people haven’t changed and the poverty and crime is still the same.
I've lived here my whole life and I'm in agreement night life is definitely a stretch, yo named fells, fed hill, and Canton, you've obviously never been to other cities
@@borismarkov1141 far from boring brother, seems like that's your line for anyone that says the nightlife in Bmore isn't it. I'm sure you weren't even around for the Bohagers, Baja, or Harbor Inn days. I was the one walking straight in that the females flocked to and owners greeted while you were standing in line, I've been everywhere in the city and compared to other cities Bmore don't stack up. I'm saying the establishment's, we'd have a ball anywhere we went, certain people or groups can make a place seem great, then you go to the same spot without those people in attendance and it suck
kevin foster exactly and mind your business. I don’t mess with nobody and nobody messes with me. I trust no one and I’m always sharp. That’s just life man, it’s simple but people see this and get fear in their hearts. Yes certain parts of the city is fucked, and it’ll take a miracle to reverse the damage. I can assure you though now a days you’ll be fine if you stay aware and live your life. Every now and then an innocent gets touched and that’s unfortunate, but those situations are far and few.
People are so poor its hard to change. Understand if you are put in desperate situations you will act desperate. Most people will commit a crime or be involved in a crime to eat. You can't change people who don't want to changed. Addiction is fucked up in a form.
Baltimore doesn't have a vibrant Nightlife I don't know where the maker of this video got that info from, most people from Baltimore go to Washinton DC to go clubbing
Jada Blaze Not most some people plus D.C is a boring city some people go to D.C to say they traveled somewhere it’s clubs and lounges people go to in Baltimore another thing when people act as if there’s no nice neighborhoods in Baltimore , Baltimore county is still Baltimore by the way.
The Power Plant , Club Choices and Paradox are about the only 3 Clubs in Baltimore and all 3 are hole in the Wall Places, Power Plant might be a little step above than the other 2, everyone knows Washington D.C has much more of a variety of Nightlife even in the PG County, Montgomery County DC Suburbs u have a good selection of Nightclubs, not to even mention the GeorgeTown District in D.C, People are so scared to venture into Baltimore at night that's probably why the city never had a real hot nightlife, People bypass Baltimore for either D.C or Philly
@icebur91 u need to face reality Baltimore is the ugly stepchild to Washington D.C I use to work at the BWI Airport and most people traveling to this area are going to Washington D.C the nations capital how can D.C be boring when all the Museums are located there?
I grew up in Baltimore projects, Lexington Terrace Mulberry Street building. During the 70's and 80's, there ccomplished was a lot of crime. There was also a lot of good people as well. I would not change my past, it made you grow up and learn to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Not like these sheep walking around today looking down at their phones waiting to be victims.
Ha Joe this is my Lil bro they lived down there and we were up park heights but would visit my brothers all the time. We had fun I don't know what these ppl are talking about.There were some good ppl that watched ur kids while they played. Families became as one. To the maker of this do you know GOD loves ppl in the project too. They are not a LOST people. And I love you Joe
You talk as if your happy to be from this place no disrespect but I would be embarrassed. Won't see me posting about my neighborhood if it was this bad.
I have been through a few of these projects. My father's family was from Gilmore Homes and I had family in Cherry Hill as well. I know it was rough, but as a child in the 70's, I didn't know how bad it really was. I remember dating a sister from Dolphin and Argyle in the 90's and seeing 6 & 7 year olds out in the streets in early am. I love Baltimore, it's a great place to be from.
I remember when Murphy Homes was first built. I used to watch them build Murphy homes when we were coming home from church on Sunday. I remember Murphy Homes more than any other project because one balcony served two apartments. The divider on the balcony between the two units was a brightly colored rippled plexiglass slab. When I was a kid the buildings looked so pretty. Over the years from a distance I watched those buildings turn into extreme hell holes. All demolishing the highrise slums did was change the density of the criminal elements in the areas. With the demise of the projects two things happened. Lower density public housing made it slightly easier for police to deal with the criminals in the ghettos where nothing changed. In the areas near "Little Italy" developers came in to build luxury condos and luxury apartments for rich folk. When you see the white lady in jogging shorts and a pony tail running along the street gentrification has entrenched itself. People don't see it yet but little battered Baltimore is quietly gentrifying. I grew up in Baltimore when living a good distance from Downtown and the projects was safe. By the time Baltimore had turned into Lebonon By The Bay I had moved to Texas. I got a good job in the Baltimore area so I came back. I moved way out into the county. I also seldom look back. Half my friends growing up like me went to college did well and moved way out into the county. Many of my friends did well enough to build their own houses so far into the county it takes an hour to drive there. The other half my friends from Baltimore growing up died of HIV \AIDS, are homeless on the streets, are in prison or were shot to death. It was depressing seeing how so many good big strong men ruined their own lives by doing drugs and engaging in crime. I walked away and never looked back. I'm disabled. I am not a strong muscular man. I am a geek, a nerd. I get out of breath running for the bus. Some of these guys I grew up with could bench press my body weight all day and never break a sweat. I ended up going to college for computer science graduating with a 4.0 GPA and walking into a great paying career. For the life of me I don't know why some of the big strong dudes I grew up with on the same streets could not do the same. I'm autistic. Back when I was a kid most of the kids picked on me saying I was mentally ill, retarded whatever. Surely if my dumb butt could be a success they could too. I just don't understand! Back in my childhood I lived in Rosemont. Today Rosemont is the inner circle of hell. Back when I was a kid 65 years ago Rosemont was so safe you could and did go to sleep on your porch listening to Chuck Thompson on the radio giving Orioles Game play by play. Rosemont had new schools. James Mosher, Lafayette Elementary and Calverton Junior High before it became a shit hole trainings school for Future Imates Of StatePrison. (FIOS)
Chris Hill It’s positives in negatives in every town our city has nice parts as well as our county but yet you hate Baltimore yet your working in Baltimore 😂
We have many problems but we do have beautiful neighborhoods and diversity. Born in Baltimore and have lived here my whole life. Many of these housing towers are long gone now. The towers are a complete government failure to jail people in a downtown location.
Im from west port lived there 15 years i know of 30 people murdered but if your from there they will fight to the end even if they don't like you plus cherry hill is only ones left Westport only has a few buildings left
As a case worker in the 70’s I worked in 5 of these projects, including the 2 most notorious, I watched the damage that the war on drugs and deindustrialization was doing to these communities, and the damaged worsened since then.
You can tell when someone not from Baltimore they either taking pictures or pronounce it like Bal-ti-more but people from Baltimore pronounce it like bal-da-more
I live here. It is easy to rag on this city. But it has its Charm. Hence, “charm city”. The separation of poor and middle class areas is fairly apparent, but also, you can be in little Italy one sec, make a wrong turn, and be in the ghetto. All this just blocks from the nightlife of the harbor and fells point, which are great fun. I think these adjacent dichotic areas cause a lot of the violence, mostly for no reason. There are many areas in east and west bmore that are mainly poor, but like I said, the nice areas have some badly placed ghetto blocks that can cause some trouble if you don’t act right or know where you going. But I like this city. It gets a bad rap from crime. Give it a shot, just know what u doing and be respectful. The people may just surprise you. I also lived in Philly for three years in 2005-2008. I love that city too. And I can tell you, you can say all the same things about philly, and almost any other mid-to-large city, than u can about bmore. Maybe a little bit better definition and separation of good/bad areas in philly, but some are similar. Crab cakes and football...that’s what we do! You’ll love em both.
stackz dollaz Baltimore is one of the worst cities to live in and its economy is stagnant and depressed. Even its downtown and prized waterfront isnt doing all that great. Plus the city is still losing population.
Robert Preskop visited there can confirm, so little people walking about downtown even on a Saturday, most people are there for ravens game or orioles game
People who live here need to Stop bragging about the crime and murders and start living the right way. We all need to live up to the name "Charm City". GOD Help Y'all. I pray 🙏everyday for a better and peaceful place. Increase the peace. GOD BLESS EVERYONE !!!
Bmore is the most hardest city in the us. Park Heights and Woodland. Shit gone 2 they rippin Bmore apart and takin all our memories with wit. It ain’t all bad I Love my City
@@robertkish2483 Just finished one degree now I'm starting nursing school. I have taken steps to research areas in Baltimore as well as volunteer before the pandemic hit. Still have some work to do but I'm getting closer. Thank you so much!
I grew up in the Flag House Projects. My mother and father moved in when the Projects were first built, and I was a baby. There were just as many white people as they were blacks. We grew up in a time where we had fathers living with the family...yes your real father. It wasn't unusual to see someone's father going to work, or sitting at the dinner table with the family. Those were the best times for me, with a lot of good memories to look back on. Then in came the Welfare System, and changed the way they wanted you to live in these Projects. They made it hard for the father to remain in the home without having the rent escalate. So the whites and some blacks started moving out to buy homes. But most of the blacks stayed. But by staying and more black families were moving in...things once again changed to make it even harder. The Welfare System destroyed the black families by making it seem better to have the father or the working man of the home, removed, and away from the home in order to now live in these Projects. Because the father could not be in the home without the rent going up...if the mother was working or not, the Welfare System did not care. They were pushing for it to be for the mothers with children only. Some families did stay together, as long as they could, in spite of it all. And in spite of all the dealing with the break up of families, we still had a lot of good times.................Until...............Martin Luther King was killed. That's when all hell broke loose. And Flag House never recovered from that. Then the drug scene took over and the good times were no more. The rest is history...The End.
Well said; I lived in the projects until I was 5yrs old then I moved in with my grandparents. Father disappeared ; stepdad in the Cut most of the time. Moved from West Balto. In the early 60's 600 Blk of Streeper St. 3 blks from the tracks and the hood. Lots of fights all the time. Robbed at night point beatdown a few times. Then came the "Riots" real riots not like that civil disobedience shit that happen in 2012. Grandparents both died leaving me on the streets by myself. I decided to ho in the Army. Seemed safer to me. Came back after 3 years things changed for the worse, the end, moved to Miami things hot much better. Oh my the way I am a white man. Just sayin
Paramedics I knew in the 1980's often wouldn't go in Lafayette Housing without police backup. They faced being shot at, not being allowed into the elevators and people stealing out of the ambulance. I had a friend there. First time I'd ever seen a roach. Or rather roaches everywhere. I was freaked out. My friend would step on them with bare feet or her hands an move on. I kept thinking... people should never have to live like this. People should never have to accept living like this.
Wow! This took me back! I’ve been through MANY of them. Lived near Murphy Homes (George St. Projects) a block away on Franklin Street. A grandma lived in Lexington high rise, I walked through Murphy and Gilmore to go to Booker T Washington school. Bought lottery tickets Played video games in the liquor store that was on Franklin and Fremont Ave.
I grew up in DC & PG County, but I’ve been living out Baltimore for a year now (Cherry Hill) and you definitely have to be careful. Know your surroundings and be aware cause it can get bad real quick. Other than that I love the city man. One day things will turn around for the better, but it’s up to us the residents to do so. Cause the government not going do it for us. I understand why some people left and I don’t blame em.
My mom grew up in Lafayette projects. She wanted a better life for us so she left & never looked back. My whole childhood was filled with stories of that time.
I have lost a ton of friends to street violence. But I love this city. I live in Baltimore county and It’s nice out here. I’m not far from downtown or any part of the city I like to migrate to. People act like violence isn’t everywhere. It may not be as much as Baltimore but it only takes one opportunity for it to be you and that can happen anywhere.
I'm an 80's baby frm Lexington Terrace 701 Mulberry St Apt 603 and Murphy Homes. I remembered so much that I tried to forget watching this. I love & still pray for my city/state & country, plus I'm still here.
I worked at University of MD hospital trying to do home medical visits, sometimes on my own time, and teach doctors to see the whole person. Treating AIDS,IVDA, cancer, diabetics when the projects had been written off by the establishment. The amount of hostility aimed at me by young men for "comming onto my world" to treat their families burned me out of risking myself anymore. They didn't make it safe for nurses doctors or social workers to do any real good. The hospital gave up on allowing us to go because we were not safe. Blame yourselves.
I was born and raised in Baltimore (pig town) in 83. I joined the military in 2006, so I could get out and do something for myself. I miss the people, and those I called family/friends. I’ve lost so many friends to drugs, and prison it’s scary. I believe I have 1 friend from when I was in elementary, who is still alive. I lived in O’Donnell heights for two years as well, and that place was rough.
I live in DC ... recently went to Baltimore. Downtown looked ok ...beautiful architecture! Then I got lost going out to Hunt Valley. I was so sad to see how parts of Baltimore has gone down the tubes ... trash, boarded up building and Lot of people just hangin' ....
I live in the Baltimore suburbs in Howard County, MD. I remember back in the late 80s early 90s my Mom driving me and my brother for our doctors appointments at Johns Hopkins Hospital and we would have to driving past the Lyfiett Courts High Rises to get there since Hopkins is located unfortunately in the middle of the hood . Man, by the 1980s and 1990s the high rises were the creepiest buildings to look at. The caged linked fencing was the only thing keeping people secure on those top floors made the buildings look like a prison. You could see (as you can see in some of the pictures for #10 Lyfiett Courts images) people standing out on the long open walkway balconies, behind the caged link fencing. The people looked like caged up animals behind the fencing. That is what was so off settling about it and made it creepy to look at. The high rises were just gloomy and ugly looking too. By the mid 90s they were finally demolished. I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital parking garage rooftop parking lot with my Mom, Dad, brother, and Grandmother to watch the "Implosion in Baltimore" of the Lyfiett High Rises. I was so glad to finally see those ugly high rises go bye-bye.
Lived on a sailboat in Fells Point for 5 years. Shootings started to creep into the area so we left. Now we are sailing around the Mediterranean, but eventually we will make our way back to Maryland, just not back to Baltimore.
Terry Evans I was a kid running through those buildings. My Grandmom had the nicest yard in the low risers and my aunt lived in The high risers. My family was known all through there... It was a true reality check
I love all the fancy pictures of all the plans that they're never going to do, if the same people keep running the place. born and raised in Baltimore!
Born and raised in Baltimore, still lived in Baltimore. I lost my uncle due to Violence, my mom was able to get a good career to move us out the neighborhood we lived in. I hope Someone can do something about the killing though
Shana Peterson Cherry hill honestly is not that bad now a days. I live in Cherry Hill.It’s still has its days, but like any hood you just had to be on your P’s & Q’s.
GIRL, BIG FACTS. I used to live off Beechfield and Frederick. My girl got a flat in Brooklyn just by Cherry Hill and when I went to pick her up I drove into Cherry Hill just to turn around and a cop, a foot soldier, flagged me over to tell me I was not from around there I needed to leave. I was GAWN. Not for nothing but I'm pretty sure you live and die in Cherry Hill.
I live in Texas now but I love coming home to Baltimore. I have walked, been in and had friends and family that lived in some of these areas. Baltimore will always be home to me. Every city in America has problems and Baltimore is no exception
I lived in Bmore and was heavily active in the music biz in the late 80s and early 90s. I Dj’ed and work at Volcanoes night club on Greemount Ave. I saw a lot going on around there, I used to hang in Summer Set Projects, Lafayette sometimes and been around all the other projects. My co-workers lived in Summer Set and Lafayette so I kicked it with them sometimes. I knew Mac 10 from the Mac Black Mafia (YBM). I did a little music production consulting for him and he came to my open mic sometimes. I lived in East Baltimore , Harford Rd, Patterson Park and on the West Side as well. I was all over. Yes drugs and shootings were common place. I witnessed a few of the drug wars during those times and even got caught in the cross fire more often than I cared for. The good side is that the culture and music is awesome though and I love my Bmore fam. I was a Dj and record store manager and owner. I saw a lot. I never had drama because I was chill, minded my biz and kept it moving. A lot of crime families and organizations were involved in the music biz so, yea I saw some things. I once helped a friend move his family out of Murphy Homes Projects. People were dropping bricks and bottles off the roof. Something commonly done when people move. While working at one record store I met a NY cat names Waah he told me about this Emcee he was working with and how he was gonna be huge. I invited him to my open mic out in Good Now Apartments. They came and that’s how I met Waah and DMX of the rough ryders before they became famous. There was war at that time between Baltimore and the NY Boyz so DMX and Waah were a little nervous being a room full of Bmore Emcees. DMX rocked the mic and challenged all the emcees and they bounced pretty quickly though. Lots of history
I worked every area you displayed second class of the Housing Authority Police Force when they got started in 1987 I came on the force 1988. We as officers had to depend on one another the Baltimore Police wouldn't hardly back us up. We survived didn't loose one officer. We gained our respect in the community. We treated people fair we wasn't planting nothing on no one and when we had to fight fought. Those was some fun times miss it.
I live in Baltimore city and seen a lot of things we aren't the one's living in the projects so being that i LUV the projects it brought family's together.A LOT of these projects are not even open
I knew a kid from school that commuted from Baltimore. was already shooting and getting shot at. Hella quiet and almost seemed slow. Baltimore people are diffferent
I been in Flag House...for all the wrong reasons in my youth. I'm from Baltimore but no longer live there but I love my city and alway will love it and represent my city but I aslo hate my city....but don't nobody talk about it or you got a problem 😡
Been in Bmore for almost 41 years & Ive always felt like ppl here r mean. However its the struggle that causes ppl not to be nice...some were thinking what for. Now Ive lived in Cherryhill & Westport most of my life. Its interesting he didnt mention the Projects in Westport Kent Street....before they were torn down they were off the chain too. While living here it doesnt seem as bad as they say but of course the rare of crime is high. I just pray a prayer of protection aroubd myself & family. Baltimore does have the potential to be a great place to live we just need a huge shift of Gods love & unification & it could ne transformed.
I'm one of the lucky few and moved out of Baltimore City, been shot at many times , jumped, robbed, knocked off of my motorcycle , seen innocent people shot, children shot, old people shot, had "people jump into the back seat of my car at stop signs going home from work ( I would run them after that ) I have seen it all living in Baltimore City . I was never part of the drug scene but saw the after effects of it, in 1999 after 3 of the local prostitutes were found dead at the end of our ally on the train tracks we decided to get the hell out and we lived in an "upscale" neighborhood near the 2 brand new Stadiums , I knew a lot of the police and was told many times that the reason 90 % of the crime never made the news was that it is bad for the tourist industry ( the inner harbor, football, baseball the Arena I still call the Arena "The Arena" ) I worked on Jewelers Row and dressed like a bum to lessen my chances of being a statistic . Baltimore is not only a war zone but a shithole, their "Mayor" is on the run as I type this for embezzlement, stealing public funds, and God knows what else. I'm glad we moved and will never go back, you can keep " The City that Breeds" and everything that goes with it One of the top 5 corrupt Cities in the United States
murphy homes was a very dim area .. I was born in baltimore park heights was my stumping grounds until we move to the county been back in fourth living there and fl and I was there in the height of murphy homes days not living just hanging around demons ..92 thru 98 I remember i got my first brand new car in 99 and use to go to cherry hill an chill with this girl I was dating back then shit was lit I miss 90's baltimore in a weird way all areas out west were hustling grounds there used to be long crack head lines in cars and standing in line with kids running fast with backpacks on transporting dope ... it was as real as it gets in those times to me .. cant speak on any other era
My family come from down the Lexington Terrace projects. 701 West Mulberry Street high rise Building. My grandmother lived in the Saratoga Street low rises. We move across the underpath to the Murphy Holmes Projects in the 851 Building. I grew up and learned the ropes hanging outside of the infamous 1058 building. I thank God all mighty he allowed me to survive such a violent place. But I will always love the projects tho. M.H.P. 4 LIFE & L.T. for L.T. 4 LIFE
I grew up in Murphy Homes and it was very clean and full of working people also. The government scaled back many of the useful programs, drugs arrived and so did generational welfare recipients. It was a place in which families could get on their ferry and move to a better neighborhood
Baltimore is not one of the best places to live in no where near the best, Baltimore has lost it;s population cause it;s a dump u got more people leaving Baltimore than coming to Baltimore
Messed up thing about the city tearing the projects down is that the crime spread all across the city afterwards. Thus, destroying working- class; middle class enclaves and neighborhoods.
Baltimore is where I’m from and it raised me!!...yes it has a lot of crime but it’s crime everywhere,a lot of people speak about Baltimore and not even from there....I love my city and I will never give up on her!!,Baltimore has good parts and bad parts like every other city!.....charm city baby one of the realist cities out there...the real concrete jungle!!
the problem is the people, change them change the City. The fish rots from the head down right, so get the corrupt leaders out, bring God back and pray for a better way. But Start with Prayers.
I raised my family in Brooklyn Homes, aka 10th Street, in Baltimore during the 1980's and drove a cab mostly at night because the money was much better at night in West Baltimore for twenty (20) years. I was one of the very few Cab Drivers that would go into Cherry Hill at night and never could figure out what everybody was so afraid of. Don't go looking for trouble and there won't be any trouble.
Being born and raised here I never realized how violent it was until I moved away. I knew all of those places and the rep they had but its was just normal to me because I didn’t know anything else.
I've been to Baltimore, if you seriously say it's a good city to love in you have no standards at all. Take any street and you can be within a neglected, rough and ragged down neighbourhood within a mile radius.
Change the thought process in these people and these areas will change for the better! Nothing can be done to help, until people have changed their way of thinking! You got to be willing to accept and respect other ways, people of all races, and backgrounds! Life is precious and can be short, don’t go through it, like it don’t matter, yet cry for help! People help people, when the Congress elites won’t! But you got to Unite and love thy neighbor!
Wes Moore came from Murphy Holmes and they were demolished in 2000. Most of my cousins live in those Projects accept Murphy and Perkins. I pray for them everyday 💯
Little that people know projects developed in INDIA. Over population in those countries of course adapted by America for the poor. Game plan. In the 1800 a senator from New York said, the best way to get rid of the poor ..was to put one against each other.. drugs, crime, rape, etc.
Seeing this breaks my heart. 99% of my family still live there and my parents and family grew up in these part (including the #1 spot). Without any real attention from the government, places like this will inevitably crash. Unemployment will rise, crime will rise and cops who are over worked will become criminals themselves. It’s a chain reaction that will continue because of skin color. Baltimore is not a “pull yourself up by the boot strap” type of scenario. This is a natural disaster that is over looked because of drugs, the types of people living there and no one in power not giving a damn until its election season. This is a god damn shame.
Unemployment has actually been lowering each year here.... the new generation is boosting the number up and their idea are starting to flourish over the 60s and 70s babies....
