Knoxville, Tennessee Hoods 

I drive rideshare in Knoxville. Even the worst "hoods" have some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

My wife raised her daughter in Montgomery Village along with their grandma in the early nineties. They've all done amazing in life and had absolutely no regrets. Why? Tennessee is actually a nice group of folks who CAN look past things and see the human inside. At least that's the way I like to see it. I'm proud of where I live in good old friendly Knoxvegas 🙂

Not everyone can afford a $200,000 home. I respect people for not where they live or drive but their goodness. Thankfully they have a home and that’s what’s important.,

This is sad, but you know you will find some of the most humble people in these areas, they are poor not bad. I live about 20 minutes from Knoxville .

Beaumont, Mechanicsville, Magnolia, western heights, MLK , is what I recognize

It would be cool to see a map of where you are in the lower corner every once in a while, GTA style.

The left turn off Jourolman Avenue @ 1:01 - my mom's side came straight from that "hood". I love being around there. People are always outside to hang and talk with. Not like where i live now, everybody has the door shut, staying inside. There's actually a sense of community in the places this video shows.

The overcast sky really added to the mood of this. You got my old hood there it was rough back in the day aint no better now probably. Sweet camera work bro I feel like im riding a carpet down those roads so smooth

I live in knpxville now. Awesome channel idea!

I live in Knoxville, been here for almost 40 years. It's alot better than I used to be. That's the truth.

Grew up on Dutch Valley Rd. Just off Broadway..not far from Fountain City. I don’t recognize the areas you filmed.

Every town and city in this nation has "hoods" Knoxville TN has them too..It used to be even worse..Much grassroots effort continues to improve the blighted areas..we are ALL equal in God's eyes..what else even matters?

You will find a lot of great people in Knoxville, and City Hills Church is a good place to visit! 💜

0:17 anybody from Knoxville who remember when this building used to be an arcade? Yea I'm that old 🤣🤣

Most city's hoods are easy to find, just look for MLK street, boulevard. your there.

Thanks for the cruise thru my hood ☺️

Please add more Knoxville hoods videos. I was born and raised there but have been gone for decades. Omgosh, and the pink dogwoods in bloom is a bonus. Love seeing these. Great filming. Aloha from Maui, Hawaii.

It's a hard knox life for us! I see you rode through beaumont, western heights, walter p, and more. These are considered suburbs!! Lol!! Knoxvile is a great place to live, but we have a parts of town like anywhere else!!! Alot has changed over the years!!!

This is the city I am from and live in the hood beautiful Thank you

Crazy... I'm from the other side of Knoxville (the west, wealthier), and I don't recognize any of these places. Probably because I actively avoid heading further east than Papermill.

As presented here, these neighborhoods look pretty clean and nice enough. Compared to bad parts of major cities like Philly, I'd live here all day.

Way to rep Knox, cleanest "hoods" ive seen so far.

I lived across from Rule as a little kid. We got a bullet hole in our car once (early 90's). After that we always ducked if we were outside the house in the car when another car drove by. I think it's a lot better these days.

what is that group of buildings at the 9:42 mark? a prison or center of some sort

I grew up in Western heights in the sixties.....graduated from Rule High school in 1970.....was a decent place to live at that time....

This is my birth place, love East Knoxville..

Maynardville TN here been to all these places working

This is my home the first place you went is Beaumont avenue I run these streets on the daily

Now you're going through Western hots our house is right on top of the hill from elm Street.

That one street looks like the projects 😳

I had one brother! Who use to live! In Western hieghts! I use to live in Walter P. Austin Holmes! Up from the Old city! Downtown Knoxville,tn. In 1996

The heights!

Knoxville have alots history there, alots old building still there . You don't sees alots trash and bottles laying around the streets in hood. Wantyou do LAFOLLETTE TENNESSEE , alots history there also.

From Knoxville but I can’t figure out where is 9:20 area?

ahhh yes my home. at 16:49 i lived right up there street there on Chickamauga ave for many years when i was a kid. me and the neighbors kid would play all over that place and there used to be a basketball court behind a church near there. me and my dad would go there and he would run pickup games while i watched. they took down the goals tho supposedly too many fights broke out there. but i never seen any it was always friendly sometimes got a little heated over "fouls" but nothing crazy. my grandmother still owns the house, i'd really like to buy it off her one day. many good memories in that spot. good video man keep up the good work.

My neighborhood I live on Vermont right around the corner from there I bought the house 21 years ago my husband's renovating it as we speak nice neighborhood though I said it's the hood they had nothing ever bothered us.

I have been level in western heights about 46 years

Raised in lonsdale my dad owned a house next to went side baptist church he sold to the church and went to rule high school

Crazy my uncle has a mansion in Knoxville, rich neighborhood, fancy homes, crime up in the five years there off Clinton Highway. He carries two guns on him 24/7. And afraid to use them.

Mon village used to be bad in the 70 still is it used to be called dodge city I live in Knoxville

Next time try Montgomery Village.

Lol at 1:01 there we are on the left

At 1:58 you are right in front of my old apartment

all the job's moved to the SUBurbs!!

R.I.P

I went to the zoo recently from just a few cities away. I was appalled at the state of Knoxville.... To the point of wishing I had brought a weapon. Lucky, I did. 😉👍 East TN isn't where you want to commit crimes.

It looks very quiet I’m from Baltimore so this is quite a culture shock

Definitely Lonsdale

Would be alot better if you tapn with neighborhood and talked about areas your showing.its gets wild around here you missing out on alot of good stories

Did ya swing through Walter P?

Western heights the place I was born 1973 August 31st

Ay 2:39 my cousin house is right in front of you

When will real change ever happen (never)

No summit hill?

Want to see more hoods? Consider subscribing as I will be posting many other cities

Western hieghts 1300 block

I can’t believe they closed Rule High School! We(Alcoa) use to love to play them in sports back in the 90’s!

My old high school. Rule High Golden Bears class of 1989. I still live in Lonsdale and there is a lot of good people that live there. You almost got my mom's house on Tennessee ave but barely missed it.

Wuow Tennessi

I was flying to texas in the early 90’s and ran into icing and the worst ice and snow storm in years. Was forced to land in Knoxville. Got stuck there for days…. It was awful back then. We had no car so we had to walk everywhere. Scary place. Never wanted to return.

I drive ride share in Knoxville all the time and none of these are as bad as Detroit

My heart sank when I saw Rule High 😢😢😢

I got 5 on it

You missed a few more!

Lonsdale is pretty bad to and east Knox where I’m from

Knoxville is so bad now. North Knoxville has gotten excessively bad lately.

Which city has the toughest hoods Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or Chatt…

it's over.

Look at all that run down junky area ! All that and they keep wanting to build more ? Those places are all over and then they get run down and dilapidated .But wonder why? You never know when one of these projects are going to come up .. Have you ever seen that many in one area? Talk about crime? Did you see the houses across the street? How would you like to have a home and then have to look at this all the time. That's too many in one space. All those people can't be from Knoxville . Look at all the homeless and people living in the streets.. Kinda makes you wonder if they would rather be there than living in a place that looks like a prison . Yeah Tennessee can do better than this if they just would .. IF they're gonna have affordable housing , they need to be kept up and keep up .Who ever did this video , you showed it well ! KNOXVILLE , Tennessee didn't used to look like this ..What happened ??

where's the War at?

This is a very good description of Knoxville TN. Most everyone here is either retired or extremely poor and needy.Knoxville is going down fast.
