I lived there and I never had any problem.. this little town is full of hard workers, honest immigrants and very nice people.

Bpt. is not as dangerous as the old days. It's nothing compared to driving through Father Panik at night in the 70s and early 80s.

I’m from Bridgeport and instead of riding around smoking I smoke and watch this guy ride around

I grew up on the North End in the 70s and 80s near the Trumbull Bpt line. Best times of my life. Mostly Black middle class area. Very clean and safe area.

Can you pls visit 298 palisade avenue in Bridgeport

Born n bred in the e streets of Bpt. Conn. The era I grew up was more ruthless and the reason I promised my parents I would break the cycle and did. I had the best time growing up with a little of both raised in the hood but went to catholic school big up Blessed Sacrament St Mary’s and Kolbe Cathedral

Please mention the traveled streets to know Bridgeport better.

My whole family and me grew up entirely in the hollow and on the west on Norman and iranistan...my kids went to Columbus which is right behind the greens and my husbands fam is all from the east side...he has a huge family lol...family in the greens that just moved from there to PT about 2yrs ago...when you got to park Ave and took a right and got to park and beechwood I had friends passed on that corner but if you would have taken a left the old “sports page” bar and corner store was one of the many places to be when under age...both my parents and all their friends went to sports page when they were underage and then we all got to be teenagers me and some of my friends that were the kids of my parents friends all started going...got into a few fights over there lol then went next door to the corner store and got more 40’s to go chill after...a lot of fun and a lot of trouble lol once we got licenses we would all take turns driving around smokin and listening to music and drinking...2 of my best friends passed within 3 months of each other when we were 23...I taught her how to drive standard in her driveway going back and forth lmao getting whiplash and when it got dark enough we would go down to seaside and drive around at night so she could actually practice more than just 1st gear and reverse lmao we all had so much fun...so many things have changed in bpt but the memories will always be there... I could write a book just about all the fun, crazy ridiculous shit we did just driving around bpt...I’m sure so many others can say the same...I had a friend when I was in high school and she was from Ansonia and her mom loved me but told her that she was not allowed under any circumstances to come to bpt...she came down 1night and we all went down to this corner store on Park Ave going down to Seaside right before you go under the train tracks and right before we were about to get out of the car somebody started shooting at people on the other corner and she cam near had a panic attack...that was her FIRST and LAST time ever coming to visit lol

Not as bad as it used to be. Dangerous years were 1985-1995 because of new drug crack.

The mayor is a gangster, not surprised!

you know what add to make a city look ugly? is ugly streets, with patches and pot holes, you would think in this day and age they could come up with a good looking material for streets that last almost forever

I've seen nearly a dozen tours of Bridgeport and to be frank, this was not a pleasure to watch - it was so repetitive, looking at almost nothing but numerous side streets of triple decker houses. I'm guessing the cinematographer stayed in this small area preferring a short visit not far from I-95. It would be nice if one of these tours would venture to Seaside Park, the gem of the city and the only public beach on the "Gold Coast" that has a 2.5 mile road along the sand & water which wasn't mostly bought up by the rich as in the other towns. As far as crime goes, New Haven and Hartford have higher violent crime rates than Bridgeport and CT has a lower crime rate than the national average at 3.9 versus 6.5 per 100K.

All I see in this video are multiple family homes.. which spells to me a strong rent market for real estate investments. 💰💰

thank you for this tour. I used to live there. appreciate your work.

This isn’t the whole Bridgeport. Bridgeport is one of the largest cities of and there are a lot of single family homes and nicer areas. I lived in the west end and and Northend. Bridgeport is dangerous, but not everywhere and not the worse in CT.

He's not anywhere near any

Born and raised. Webster Elementary, Blackham Middle and Central High. It's not like it was when I was a kid, but it's alot better then the late 80's early 90's when the crack wars were on. Before they tore up FPV. When Lafayette Plaza was still open and kids had a place to hang out, downtown was ALOT nicer.

Them: this is a dangerous city. Also them: drives in school zone, which is almost at every part of Bridgeport

You bring me Back in the 80s Bridgeport

Bridgeport resident from 1961 to 1969, It's a great city.

My favorite place in Bridgeport. Cafe pleasant M. Amazing

Had a business in the Hollow for 24 years. The Greens housing was and still is, one of the most dangerous places in Bridgeport.

I was born in Bridgeport but raised in Quebec did I miss a better life?

Bridgeport Connecticut is a good place

we had homes in new canaan, bridgeport, norwalk, stamford . . . all absolutely beautiful and safe in the 50s and 60s. what happened? demographics?

Anybody remember the macies, as they called it, down on hallet?

Now go watch drive-throughs of the Baltimore or Philadelphia hoods. This is a dream compared to those hoods!

The roads suck and the drivers suck worse. Traffic lights in BPT are just a suggestion.

Reminds me of father panik village. Place was a war zone. People walking around with paper bags over their hand to hide a handgun while they were doing drug deals.

Used to live in the south end on Broad St. nice video!

where are you from? you took a left on pequonnock , at the end of maplewood......why not right? what are you trying to show ? brick buildings ?

Lifelong resident here and victim of many crimes

6:51 that sucker goes thru a stop sign

You pasted by my old house :\

Riding around the Hollow..where I grew up.

Used to live on boston ave

You Wouldn't want to take a drive in those neighborhoods at night..

298 Carrol Ave 07/90s/Dunbar

Yeah it’s Fairfield County, but not really.

If Bridgeport dangerous the driver wouldn’t have made it out of P.T Barnum in the car. The city has changed so much since. I’ve been living in the city since I was born.

Bridgeport is the most populated in CT. It is also the 5th most populated in New England. This video captures none of the beauty of the city

There are some really beautiful neighborhoods in Bridgeport that you should record instead of only showing the bad. We have black rock which is the majority white neighborhood that borders Fairfield and is pretty trendy and artsy, you have Brooklawn which is a mixed single family and multi residential neighborhood( where I was born and raised) which is pretty nice, and then the north end and north sides which are your typical middle class neighborhoods with modest single family homes( ranches, colonials, and capes) with the two cars parked in every home and minimal crime. You should try and highlight those neighborhoods more often. It frustrates me how people only highlight the bad in Bridgeport and then wonder why it doesn’t get any better. Honestly ask yourself who’s going to want to move here or invest here if all they hear is bad things.

See what is happening in Kensington in Philly. Much better in BP

Yo si viviria en esa ciudad, se ve bien

When I lived there in the early 70s it was known as the armpit of Connecticut. Hasn't gotten better! Btw, we could walk around downtown and have no fears. Wouldn't do that now!

Lower East Main Street. Graduated from Harding. Left bpt in 1976. I walked thru FPV to get to. school. I went to Franklin School and had home ec at Waltersville. Hung out at Maraczi's and The Greeks and Seaside Park. I am white as if that means anything. So tired of people putting down my birthplace. Try New Haven. It sucks. Hartford is 10 times worse. Where do you live? Lily white Fairfield? You snob. If it is so bad how did you get out alive? You people in the burbs use to come to my city to get your drugs. You had money to buy tgem. Bigger drug problems in Ffld Trumbull The Valley and Stratford. I grew up with both good and bad. Mostly good hard working people.

The first part of this video was PT Barnum Apt I grew up there bld 14..PT was no joke you will get your shit twisted out there....

Hollow world. !!!!!!!!!

I would think that you had more comments to be on your thread from where we were raised in Bridgeport Connecticut we should all get together and write a book my name is Joe c a p o z z i e l l o

Bro you want content, part 2 has to be the east side, east main st and Washington park is a little KESINGTON in philly , leaning and doing toe touches by mistake and the t-Rex pose, pandemic made this like the 90’s

I live in P.T.

Heh, from a Canadian viewpoint, I thought all of Connecticut was posh, I was way wrong.

The most dangerous thing I see in this video, is your driving, SLOW DOWN so people can see the video. Terrible video.
