Augusta Georgia forever home. Still here to this day. Even in what you call “the hood” I always feel safe cause everyone here just minds their business
@@ThumbNurBum I was in East Bound for a girl once and them boys out there was trying to jump me for being there, Thank God the police was already out there lol
I don't know because some of these spots look too dam country. I felt like I was about to see a Juke Joint or people dressing they were back in the Jim Crow Era randomly walking around.
@@trillythagr8259 My city isn't country my boy shit real around here... Plenty more hoods than what's shown... He only drove thru South side projects...
@@blast4me754 so sagging your pants and looking dusty is the way to go? Okay then. Black men definitely dressed down back in that time. Go back and look at some pictures.
I left Aug 7yrs ago & it brought back so many memories from watching this, especially seeing you cruise through south side...my lil sis & her husband use to live out there & we have all grown & matured & have educations & nice houses & jobs now with families🙏🏽💙💪🏽...have alway seen other city's but not my own being filmed.
One of those neighborhoods look like where I use to stay with my aunt and uncle during the summer. We had so much fun growing up there. Great memories! The road was dirt back then. My uncle had a clean Cadillac that he wanted to stay clean!!🙂 We knew everyone on our street. Great, simple, fun times!
I been on those streets many times before dropping my daughter off every day at school. Now happily moved. But you picked a nice time to drive through them, and not in the more dangerous parts of Augusta.
@@kennyedwardscrucible Look at what your feral people do to what other races built! You know there’s twice as many subsaharans on earth as their are white people and none of you have ever built a city anywhere on earth, not even in Africa? You’ve only destroyed what others built and live in what you’ve hollowed out. There’s a reason all the streets are named for white people.
I’m so glad that I joined the Army 12 years ago and I never had to live like that. Every time I go back home I see people hanging around at stores, still living in the projects or broke down homes like it’s cool to be barely making it, and the crime is ridiculous.
When I see some of the old houses it reminds me of my ancestors. Wondering what was Augusta like back in day? I wish, I had a time traveling machine, where I can go back to the pass and see what all my ancestors had to endure.
He was born in Barnwell, S. C. @ 5 yrs old he moved to Augusta, Ga with his Aunt & Dad. He loved doing block parties entertaining providing prizes, etc to his fans. ....His radio station years ago off Washington Rd had the best Easter Egg hunts for children. Thanksgiving/ Christmas assistance to needy families, good human being. May He RIP.
He had been living in Beech Island SC for a long time. That's where his house was. I used to live in Beech Island and around 1993 I pulled up to a convenience store and James Brown exited the store with a bottle of T.J. Swan wine and he stopped and looked inside my car at my children and said "God loves the little children" and he left. I'll never forget that. He lived about 2 miles from the store off of hwy 278 that takes you to New Ellenton SC. You could ride to the front gate of his house, he had large 🎶🎵 musical notes on the front.
@@judyloveday9615 Yes I know of the Beech Island home as well. He had a lovely home on Walton Way as well in Augusta. Christmas time You were allowed to ride and view the lights on display. I attended Silas X. Floyd school where He also attended. James Brown was very involved in the community during those days.😊 My first cousin and his wife also worked for Mr. Brown at James Brown Enterprises during the time it existed. My family was well known by Mr. Brown. His former favorite teacher used to live down the street from My Grandmother as well. My memories are fond of those days. Your story is a nice memory as well.
You find that a lot in either the newest areas or the oldest areas. Oldest areas because those neighborhoods/towns predate cars and in the newest areas because everyone is intended to drive according to design.
This would be cool. Literally EVERY small town in Georgia has at lest one neighborhood that would seriously shock people. Even my tiny hometown of Eastman, Georgia. You drive to Skid Row & quickly realize if you’re not in the market for drugs then you really need to get the hell out of there
Augusta is not really a "poor rural town". Augusta is a city of about 200,000 and the center of an MSA of close to 500,000 people. Unfortunately, the population of Augusta proper is about 60% black so the majority of govt offices and jobs are filled by black people. The black politicians act like the rulers of African countries. They focus on looting public funds to line their pockets while totally ignoring the job they were ostensibly elected to do. Department heads, almost all are black, view their departments as job placement programs for their friends and family, regardless of the qualifications or lack thereof the person has for the job.
Get deeper than that but Tru book literature I'm from Augusta Georgia hood name Harrisburg north Augusta was Hamburg read about Hamburg massacre you Will find out but so much what I am getting at I can go there and not out no book feel me but check it out
It’s where the white people live. But that’s not going to be true much longer, either, is it? You know black people built none of that city but are responsible for 85% of the homicides in that city the last decade? They won’t even play The Masters there within a decade.
Georgia peach! I was born in Augusta Ga. We left when I was 8yrs.old I only came back in 85 for a family reunion I haven’t been back since then I would love to see what my hometown looks like now 😅
Why not say what neighborhood you are riding in how ppl suppose to Kno if they were to visit Augusta where not to go. You just driving around showing bad areas.
Back in the 90s when i lived down there in my teenage years Augusta was dangerous for real i remember having to fight on a regular basis in school hearing gun shots at night and hearing news reporters talk about homicides almost every day on the news
Mais tem no interior igualzinho essa cidade assim mais isso não tira fato de ser bonita diferente outras cidade dos Estados unidos que são feia e perigosa kkk
I’m here right now! And this is one small part The East Side of Augusta been here my whole life but it’s not all of Augusta and what he showed is old run down houses that the city is trying to work with the owners of the lands to get rid of but no one lives in those things and that’s just one project “hood” area and yes you can drive through them without anything bad happening!
Very accurate! Of course all places will have crime, but if you talk to a lot of people from Augusta who grew up in those “hoods” and even right outside of those areas, they will even tell you that only a handful of folks actually see that stereotypical lifestyle while everybody else just minds their business and lives their life.
Yeah its that Southern hood. Augusta definitely aint a Detroit or Chicago but from time to time stuff still go down. Its really the younger folk causing problems around here. Most people just keep to themselves. I used to work in Atlanta then moved to Augusta, some real good people here.
Everyone keep saying there's more to Augusta which is true. I live here. But if you follow his blogs you'll see that he mainly highlights the hoods of most of these cities
I haven't been round there in 12 years. Lived there on and off for 20. How bout I ain't recognized none til....oh my gosh is that the back entrance to underwood?!?!?! Man I'm glad I ain't had to see it go.
As an African American who grew up in Texas, I found the culture of our southern brothers and sisters to be very different from ours in the Southwest. Working with them was a cultural shock.
I briefly worked at a factory and the first thing that stood out was the lack of teamwork. There was also noticeable low self-esteem, especially from those in supervisory positions. The supervisors instead of motivating the lower level workers to be the best in their functions demotivated them by using intimidating tactics. I might be wrong but to me it seemed like the message they were projecting was "I am the slave master, you're my slave. Do what I tell you or clock out".
That’s a cultural difference you noticed between people from the southwest & the southeast??? That really seems like just a personal thing with those exact people instead of a cultural thing with work…. I live in Georgia and there are good managers & shitty managers. that was probably the farthest response from what I was actually expecting
Where is this? I’ve been gone from Augusta for 25 years and I’m having trouble recognizing it. Thanks. Btw, I live in the beautiful state of Colorado and there is plenty of crime right here in my very nice neighborhood. It’s people that do it. It is not any worse there than there. The crime may be prettier here when you have the Rockies to look at.
If your "very nice neighborhood" has "plenty of crime", then by definition it is NOT a "very nice neighborhood" How many OTHER folks there are from the Deep South ? Statistics (Numbers ) don't lie.....
There use to be gigantic Oak Trees lining both sides of the streets . There were flowers in the yards .Houses were kept up ..Now the area is looks ran down . I grew up there so I know what I'm talking about .
I visit, on a regular basis, but wouldn't raise my kids there. I lived there years ago, but wouldn't dare return to reside there. Augusta has gotten crazier!
I've worked in Augusta years ago, really friendly people and I've met and dated the finest women there. They have a club there called cream, I wonder if it's still open.
Section 8 housing and gangs sure seem to gravitate to each other. The people look hopeless. I think some of them only need to get out of there and start out new.
