1972 SPECIAL REPORT: "DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, AFTER DARK" 

Love their food when I can put enough money aside to afford it. It's the best pizza place we have over here on the west coast

We had several Gino's in Newark also, two of them in fact that I used to eat at. The "Gino's Giant", a great burger. Better than McDonald's by far. Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts founded them I've heard.

Same age as me lol, 52 😅🇬🇧✊🇺🇲💯🤟

The crack y’all chose to smoke

#GFYS

@@davidmicalizio824 that's what I say gfys

@@neverhungryagain2187 I never smoked crack a day in my life

@@salvatoresalernatano5964 I’m talking about the generation that smoked it. Nobody forced them to smoke it

Where are the homeless and gangs?

If u deport all afromericans from this city it will become calm its simple

@@Efreet17 wtf? Seriously? racist much if you think that would solve the cities issue you're a dumbass blacks have nothing to do with the problems in Bmore. Corruption isn't biased wether what race, creed, religion its BAD PEOPLE who are the issue nothing to do with race

The animals were controlled to a point

💯💯💯

She’s very lovely!

Do you want me both

She was so stunning wasn't she

Racial tension?

I knew a drag queen named Rachael Tension.

Oh though 1970s is an era of creak heads, honestly.

@@seanpetaia that was the 1980s. It heroin in the 1970s.

@@qolspony does it’s matter though? Both eras literally invited the most deadly drugs ever, & to this day it’s had kills more Americans. If it not “only” America definitely the whole world too.

Yup, they shipped them out to Timonium and destroyed Dulaney Valley High School. My brother lived out there while it was being systematically destroyed. A 21 year old woman’s body was dumped in a residential neighborhood right in the middle of a 4 way stop intersection. That was only 1/2 mile from where my brother lived. He got the hell out of there.

It’s Dulaney High School not Dulaney Valley. I graduated from Dulaney in ‘07. Dulaney Valley Rd. is in the area. Still live in the area and have never heard that story.

I agree 110%. Women were much better looking in the 70s..

Ya know?

What !? You got to ride in the limo with RUN DMC ?

@user-br7wi7xc6n yeah. Run, Russell and Danny are my stepmothers first cousins.. crazy right

@@JB-hl1qx I knew this dude for 30 years...and he never shared that story with us..and we used to rhyme together...you think he would've mentioned that sometime in 1992....🤷😂

@@HezakyaNewz If I had that experience I know I would have told everyone & their mom about that !!

@HezakyaNewz bro you know what? I didn't think it was as big of a deal as it actually was. I used to be in the Phat Farm store chilling in the back, went to dinner with Russell and Kimora a couple times. Went to DefJam a few times. All this with my stepbrother who is ... Derrick Adams. He's a painter and had an entire season of the TV show Empire dedicated to his painting

I was only in Baltimore once, about nine years ago, to attend a lecture at Johns Hopkins. I could tell THAT Hood ain't GOOD.

Did you listen to documentary at all? I'm sure you weren't on the streets where the most crime occurred. Certain blocks were safe. Certain other blocks weren't. Thats how it is now for the most parts in inner cities. The most crime-ridden area in LA is downtown LA with the homeless encampments happening and just a block over there are the finest restaurants and beautiful high rise apartments. I mean idk Baltimore now but it seems from what I hear it's pretty bad.

I know you like complaining and playing the victim, you seem like a negative, pessimistic person, but @1:11 mark in this video, in Baltimore, 1972, a woman says, "I don't even feel safe in the daytime.". Get that? You are not saying anything new, just same old tired victim mentality.

Baltimore has always been a very pocketed city, with certain areas being dangerous and other areas being just fine. From what I have heard, the waterfront was legitimately dangerous in the era before Harborplace. Since then it has been perfectly fine. Any of the other gentrified sections of the city will be fine. You just need to know the areas that are safe and those which aren't. Generally, most people won't have any business being in the unsafe areas in the first place.

​@@rockets4kids and i have to add, during the day even the unsafe areas you'll probably be OK in, as long as you take the normal precautions and are there for a reason, like to patronize a business or visit someone who lives there

​@rockets4kids some of the big city gentrification strategies remind me of what they did with risky subprime loans. They dispersed and package them with less risky loans leading to their ultimate collapse.

Sorry to hear that. I hope nothing happened to you.

It wasn't.

I did a ridiculous websearch as well, and found the answer also, only to see that you already posted this. Thanks!

@@arthurw8054 Your welcome sorry I did not reply back till now.

Thanks; I had seen that episode at some point. That was Barbara Anderson as the waitress; who was also a regular cast member on the Ironside series, playing Officer Eve Whitfield....

"Lynda Day George (Casey) character's absence is explained by Phelps at the beginning of the mission when he tells the group that she is handling the operations on the European branch of the Alpha Group and will wait for the IMF team in the US first before acting. Since she was pregnant during the filming season, the female role went to Barbara Anderson (Mimi)." -Imdb

WDS’s legacy is obvious…put all resources in a tourist destination and let’s see what happens to the rest of the city.

🤔 I wonder why?

​​​​@@jaimestewart8295drug war, poverty,gentrification bad government policies and total neglect of its poor and working class citizens

@@Error_-qz2zr yeah that would be some of it for sure 👍

@@jaimestewart8295 did my comment got deleted by RU-vid? 😂 Censorship is crazy I didn't even say any bad words just why it got like this

@@Error_-qz2zr it probably did , that happens to me all the time

Nope. Last city in the US I would ever consider living in.

@@lchaney language has his own ways. Conditions of where i'm doing my days in are far from "considering", let alone places in the US:=)

😐 oh!😂😂😂you were kidding

😂😂😂

It looks really good compared to now, it got like 90% worse

2 cents/butt....

Loosey in Bmore goes for $1 as well..

@@CalvinP420 cancer is big money.

but but diversity

They need cyborg cops… complete with prisons with robot guards.

The biggest criminals, on the streets, are the police department. If you want to be 'safe," then go and get yourself locked up. Because, that's the only place where safety can be guaranteed ... in a dungeon.

@@itzenormous 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 in 2020 the year you were crying about black lives US citizens committed 21.571 murders 25% of those without guns 55% of the total committed by blks proving the 13th amendment has caused more crime than the 22nd Lastly that same year nationwide police shot 1000 suspects less than 200 were black So who were the 800? No riots for them no statues or lib media press?? tell me again cops are the problem

@Donnell Okafor Yep 12 decide or 6 carry My only problem is How do we know who is the good guy once the shooting starts? You realize that another armed citizen could shoot you thinking you are the aggressor? I support the 2nd but also support common sense

Population in Bmore was 1.6 million in 1972

Of course it is with dope fiends moving there from all over the nation

I'm a Red Sox fan and Camden yards is my favorite park to visit for road games.

The Downtown revitalization lasted until may the mid-2000's if you're referring to the Harborplace area. What was once a tourist destination is no largely closed.

Yes it has it got more dangerous

🤔

I was born 2 years later, just down the BW Parkway on Fort Meade.

Come anytime....I live up the street from the block....spent thousands of hours in there....had some great times. You'll be fine...just mind your business and enjoy ya self

Don't get too wasted....lol....you need your streets smarts

@@HezakyaNewz Oh, no drinking for me sir. If I go, it will be when doors open. Do my thing then bounce while there's still daylight. PG County got the bright idea of closing all underground spots right as the MGM went up. Ironically, I hit up the underground spots at night because it was too close to base didn't wanting anyone recognizing me. 😂

@@morbidcorpse5954 Well that's even better. You'll be cool...I usually go during lunch time. You basically have all the women to yourself... because it's nothing but smelly old men at that time. I was able to take a few home just to bang. Going at night....it's busy and the girls are too busy for personal attention...unless you got the money. I get by on my flavor and personality...so they be attracted to be me without much money.

@@HezakyaNewz Cool 🤘

Yes it has 😐

Get a job

Baltimore was predominantly an industrial town, with an economic base focused on steel processing, shipping, auto manufacturing (General Motors Baltimore Assembly), and transportation, the city experienced deindustrialization, which cost residents tens of thousands of low-skill, high-wage jobs. #Wikipedia

@@elegantcourtier just ignore him. He's a known racist on ALL news on RU-vid regarding Baltimore and Black people

@@elegantcourtier So globalism AKA diversity Jack Dover many US cities but the reality is Baltimore is 70% B Look up pictures from the 2015 Baltimore riots then come back and tell me W are the problems=

@@beewalk34 Yes Blks need to get jobs-

I don't get people who act like that. I'm only slightly younger than you, and I've NEVER been afraid of Baltimore City. There's no reason to be, at all. When people get shot, or beat up, in "The Hood," it's usually because they wronged someone, and were looking over their shoulder when it happened. Random people don't get assaulted, or accosted. If you mind your own damned business, you'll be fine in Baltimore.

lol, Towson kid talking about the means streets of Baltimore.

@@HKim0072 Laugh it up skippy, Baltimore is a shit hole and is Maryland as a whole. So sorry you are unable to get out.

False.

I’m a short preppy white boy who has walked the streets of the hood of Bmore many a time at night by myself… Never once felt unsafe.

Don’t forget about Philly

Statistics have gone down we got ring cameras now

Unfortunately, most cities peaked in the '80s, but not Baltimore. Was on a downward trajectory until 2015. And, then it blew up again.

I was wondering the same thing.

Mission Impossible S07 - Ep05

I wondered the same thing

Don't know exactly why, but I trip on this stuff too. Watching documentaries of ordinary people is as close to time travel as I can get, and I'm awestruck by change over time.

I am that baby's exact age. ❤

Just say you're a bigoted racist. I saw them interviewing white women in those "unsafe" areas too. So whites weren't out there committing burglaries, robberies and such. Baltimore had 1.5 million people then. All crimes were NOT restricted to just Blacks.

We can tell you're from Kentucky... Baltimore is great. I live and work in the City. It gets a bad reputation from Republicans in flyover states who are scared to go somewhere if there isn't a Cracker Barrel nearby.

Yes, just stay home.

So diversity not a strength?🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@silentmajority8365 makes no sense, Baltimore had a huge black population back then and it was still a great relatively safe city to live in especially compared to now; so obviously race has nothing to do with it.

@@silentmajority8365 You laugh at yourself, frequently? Because, honestly, nothing you said was that funny, bro.

One of those newspaper headlines shown in the video says "6 homicides bring total to 220 for the year" which is pretty high.

Did you not watch the video and hear what the people were saying?? Jeez.

I left Towson in '89 to go out of state for college, I never went back; Maryland stopped being where I was "from" in '89. I still have family there, whenever I go for a visit I only ever feel an intense dislike for the area. I will never live in the Baltimore area again, not for any reason.

What about Maryland, makes it a "socialist state" as you say? Do you even know what you're talking about? I'm going to guess that the answer is NO. A very definitive NO.

Good on you for not hating your parents. So many people from your generation hated their "r^cist" parents for daring to protect their families from the obvious elephant in the room.

​@@MatewanMassacre With the absolutely massive redistribution of wealth to Baltimore to keep that hole subsidized, whether it's Maryland taxpayers paying for Baltimore's police and firefighters salaries, the city school teachers salaries, the gigantic unaccountable welfare programs that exist in the city, including dedicated buses just to take one person to and from their job early in the morning and late in the afternoon, to say there isn't a level of socialism to this equation is just foolhardy. You go from neighborhood to neighborhood in Baltimore, at least half the residents are entirely unemployed, reliant on welfare paid by Maryland taxpayers from all across the state, and just loiter on streets and in front of businesses and homes. If that's a healthy society to you, I got some oceanfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you.

He sounds like Al Sanders from WJZ back in the day as well.
