@@kamranfulkerson5313 that's true , here in metro ATL I worked construction a few times and some of the workers run into old friends at the gas stations . It's like a network and many of the bosses know each other too .
Im from Louisville Kentucky and these "hoods" have some of the nicest people you would ever meet...i live in a nice neighborhood and a few weeks ago there was a murder right down the street from my home....dont judge a book by its cover
Everyone in Louisville made me feel welcome, its the south after all. It's definitely not sweet there though. I saw teenagers shooting at each other in the middle of the day in front of the TARC bus coming there way. No one paid any attention....
This guy travels all around North America to show us some crazy places like Philly, Camden, and Detroit, but this look more like a hicktown than a hood.
This is not the worst neighborhood in Louisville. This is not a good neighborhood, but also not one of the worst. He should have went into the West end. Portland, Shawnee, Chickasaw, Russell neighborhoods are the worst in my opinion. HUGE difference in atmosphere and appearance.
This is the south end it ain't bad it's known for drunk driving hit and runs lol victory park, parkhill, shawnee, places like that is why we are the 11th deadliest city not Taylor Blvd 😂 that's right by derby churchill downs
WTF you pose to made that left on berry to Georgetown, then a left on Manslick to Greystone, Went down Taylor wurr Irqouis use to be, then back up 7th Street to Parkihill, down W. Dixie to the West end! He didn't know wurr he was going are my dude was just scared to slide thru the real!
+Stinky Potatoes All you got to do is Google West end Homicides, Or South Louisville Homicides, and East end Homicides..tell me what you came up with.. females even kill on camera, in front of news reporters and the whole police force.
I live in this part of Louisville (South End) and I gotta say, this is absolutely not the worst hood in the city. It’s a little sketch, sure, but you can go literally 2 miles up towards 7th street and be in Park Hill which is far worse than this. And even that’s still not the worst hood. You gotta go west of Dixie and north of Algonquin for that. Basically any numbered street 18th or higher.
This is not even the hood. Try Hemlock st off 28th and Broadway. Or Hill st at 12th at Park Hill. Dinos store at 26th and Broadway. Plus you weren't even out at night. Shoot video on a Fri night...
Pointing that out must really be important to you, because you mentioned it several times. It may not be the worst area in Louisville but it qualifies as a hood. Poor people, usually a high crime rate, at least some of the housing is shabby, and others from Louisville claim it was the hood.
Nah...Just pointing out that if you want to make money off shitting on your fellow black folk, at least do it to the welfare and drug dealers and not the working class.
Most "hoods" in Kentucky are rather nice if you want to compare them to other states. Also note the majority of Kentuckians living in these hoods which yes are mostly black are pretty nice people and social able if you spark up a conversation. Also you won't find the sharp division here in Kentucky. I love my state :)
Some of these houses look better than the houses in Hawaii. I was born Louisville,and raised in Hawaii. I've seen some hoodss in the West end; you're showing nice neighborhoods.
These hoods don't look half bad at all. Mowed lawns, whites and blacks mingled, and some sketchy convenience stores. Same shit in lots of half decent hoods in Ottawa Canada.
@@knobstonestickbows4962 Hes probably too scared to go to places like Park Hill and Beecher Terrace. He probably would last 5 minutes in the parking lot of Cousins Liquors on a Friday night!
While it's not the prettiest. I can confirm its way safer in South Louisville than the West end. BUT, I used to live in Richmond, VA. Now, I don't know about statistics but driving in the bad parts of Richmond without getting out of my car felt much less safe than anywhere in Louisville. Louisville is in general feels safer in the worst parts than a lot of similar cities it's size
Lol this video took me back i miss my home so much. It felt good too see the south end. One day go to the west end, to oak st. and make a video. I lived in the south east an west. I love my city so much. So many good ppl no longer around but the streets still make me feel the same when i see em.
I lived in Louisville years (and by that I mean decades) ago, never made it to this area that I recall. Still, there are much worse areas you have to admit.
Lou Slugga I’m up here visiting my moms in louisville now I promise dude wasn’t in the mud. It ain’t Chicago, but nobody from the suburb would be comfortable stopping for gas on the west end in the day let alone at night here😂
Haha that sign on the corner of the lot green read "Cha Cha" haha. OMG it's called Cha Cha's! WIth cars for sale! lolol. Got that Benzo on the lot! Quick whip out Mr. Clean eraser and clean those head lights! All hoods of the world are pretty much the same. I think in America when it comes to "Black Culture" or any kind of culture you can see there really is three cultures... rich, middle and poor. It's not black and white, red or yellow. It's straight up those who have, those who have cleaning OCD and those who won't and those who don't have. Some people would consider my neighborhood a "hood" of 8 mile but I love living here better than the far west and north any day.
IT'S NOT WHERE YOU LIVE, IT'S HOW YOU LIVE, YOU CAN LIVE IN THE WEST END, BUT YOU DON'T HOW TO LIVE LIKE A THUG! LOUISVILLE IS GREAT COMPARE TO SOME CITIES! FACTS:
I just want to say I love your channel.This area isn't that bad. In truth, they've gentrified the bulk of the hoods in Louisville, torn down Hazelwood, the Hill, South Wick, Sheppard Square, Clarksdale, Beecher Terrace - all of which had pretty high crime - and very few remain. Some of those areas are still a little rough, though. If you ever return to Louisville, try the Russell neighborhood, S 9th to S. 33rd running east to west, West Market to West Broadway running north to south. To the south of there is the California neighborhood, which runs S. 9th to S. 26th east to west, and West Broadway to West Oak north to south. Then a little further south is Park Hill.which runs S 9th to S. 26th east to west, and West Oak to West Hill north to south. The Algonquin neighborhood is south of Park Hill and it has one of the worst hoods left in the city in terms of crime. If you ever return to Louisville, I recommend heading to Parkway Place/Patton Ct. Park at the Park Hill Community Center, or on the side of the road, and take a stroll through the complex. Also, you can ride down Dr. W.J. Hodge Street, which begins just off S. 22nd and runs north through California and Russell before ending at N. 22nd in Portland. Portland is another area worth driving through. It's a big neighborhood, running from S. 10th to N. 33rd, then N. 34th running east to west, and working its way into Northwestern Parkway and Bank Street in the Northwestern portion of the city. The southern border starts at West Market. Seek out Portland Avenue if you decide to drive through there. Of course, you can always drive down West Muhammad Ali from the east to the west to cut right through the heart of the west end. West Ali, Doc Hodge, and Portland Ave. are all good streets to hit, and Patton Ct. They have a lot of the crime in the city. Dumesnil is a good one to ride down, too. You could drive back into City View Apartments near Roy Wilkins Blvd. Might as well check the east side of downtown, too. Go to Smoketown and Phoenix Hill, around Clay Street. That was possibly the worst street in the city at one time. Two of the most dangerous apartment complexes used to be there - Sheppard Square and Clarksdale. Both of them are gone now and the area isn't quite as bad, but Clay and S. Shelby still get some heat, and they're definitely hoods. I enjoy your work. Just wanting to give you some ideas if you ever come back to Louisville. Be safe, my friend.
My friend some black comuunitys have gun violoence while poor white communities especially hillbiliies have lots more issues with their own folks and styles and culture. Watch how prejudice you are.
@@REVELATIONSTATIONAGENDA2030 Who said anything about race? I never mentioned it. White people live in those areas, too. I used to run in a lot of those areas when I was a kid. Sounds like you're the only one with race on the brain, my friend. Maybe it's you who needs to check themselves if you associate dangerous parts of town with race because, well...um...you're the only one making racial associations.
4:40 This is around my neighborhood This isn't the hood at all.. This is by the derby museum... It's one of the less fortunate neighborhoods, yeah. but not the hood.
I see people in the comments saying these are not hoods. I’ve lived in Louisville all my life and these are, indeed, hoods. There are worse hoods, but look at the crime stats of these areas he’s shown here. This is south west/ south Louisville. The west end (Portland) is extra bad. But look up the stats. This is not an ideal locale.
chris I urge you to visit some of the State Parks or drive around the horse farms surrounding Lexington or Green River Lake. This is just urban areas. A native of Eastern KY I am, but for last 4-5 years or so have been living in and around Louisville I've missed being in Hollows and seeing and smelling Mother Nature or fishing and putting in a garden for this fall. Really is a beautiful part of the US. Actually a lot of pioneers ended up setting roots in KY because it reminded them of their mountains in Scotland, hence endearing name Hillbilly 😎✌
@@jrc7660 yes, I know,what you mean. I live in a small town of Louisa, about 20 miles south of Ashland. All states have areas that need a little help. Just sayn.
This is about where I’ve had to drop off my friends uncle on his heroin run, it ain’t the hood the hood starts near West Broadway and extends all the way west towards the river
Ville got problems but it’s still durable to live compared to other dilapidated cites like Gary Indiana. City hall looked like semblance of atomic bomb dropped.
The hood back in the day was Southwick/Cotter Homes. Closest thing to the hood now is the California neighborhood or Shelby park. None of which compare to those in big cities.
"can i get a big mac with a coke? sir this is the ghetto package store. oh shit i thought this was mickey d's. lemme just get a couple 40's and a nip of fireball. oh and a mango blunt wrap i'm fina twist up."
He starts out on conn alley and turns onto wheeler Ave, used to be a decent neighborhood. They tore down most all of the projects in Louisville, now drugs and bullshit are in every neighborhood. Unless you go deep in the eastend!
The houses look like barracks. Were there servicemen stationed in that area at one time. Maybe immigrants, the houses are quite small. What's the history of this town?
I have a bone to pick ever made this video. I've been living in Louisville for almost 18 years and from South Louisville. I don't understand House South Louisville and be the worst neighborhood here hi, and I have seen worse elsewhere. South Louisville is it perfect, but for someone has to live close to downtown, out of all the neighborhoods in the area, this is the best one to live in besides Crescent Hill. Out of all the memories I have from living in Louisville, I had the best times living there. I'm currently living downtown, which is okay, but with a lot of grocery stores closing up in the inner city & poor infrastructure here in Old Louisville, I wish I could find a place in South Louisville. While stores & everything closing up everywhere else, places in South Louisville r there to stay with more commercial growth coming. so how can South Louisville be a terrible neighborhood?
@@gslimm40 Yes all 3. Both Now & back in the day. Yes Georgetown has went downhill. I remember when I moved here 20 years ago, it was a lot nicer. I do miss Iroquois projects. If they didn't plan to build anything after demolishing the whole project, I think they could have at least left the buildings around the front part of the complex up. I remember almost moving in Greystone around 2012 when the wall was put up. I remember going there a lot in the late 90s and 2000s. I did live around Shagbark for a while.
