I live in Montgomery, AL and have been on several of these streets. Just because someone may not have much money doesn't make their streets dangerous. The yards look fairly well tended to.
Well, I have to work there, downtown, and other parts as well, even at the Waters, few weeks ago at the pike rd Circle K two people decided to have a shoot out while me and my co worker were there, one guy had a automatic, don't know what cause I ducked, but he just turned and sprayed bullets Everywhere, hit the new work truck of our work associate across the street at the new eagle gas station, a woman was hit in parking lot walking in to the circle k, one shooter got hit and the chump who sprayed bullets ran off( with his vehicle parked at the store) yeah, Crime is high there, but most big cities are! Couldn't give me a house to live there, we are in a very peaceful rural area, Thank God.. AND dont get me started on Birmingham !!
@@briancombs3130 don’t live far from that gas station myself. i remember hearing about the shooting minutes after it happened because i had friends passing by it right after the shooting happened. glad you had the instinct to keep yourself safe.
I moved to Montgomery from Michigan & met my bf there. I moved back to Michigan but some of the best times I had was down there. I'm drawn to the country, gritty, rawness but yet southern hospitality of the city. He doesn't want to move back cause of all the shootings & killings but I actually wouldn't mind. Despite the bad every city has, it has plenty good. I Love the south 🧡
The footage is taken of old communities and neighborhoods around the High Street area in Montgomery... I did not see any danger taking place... This is so misleading... A stereotype that doesn't apply to all those areas.
It's cuz it was daylight. I severed a Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in Alabama 1999 to 2001. My first area I spent 5 months in was westside Montgomery. We didn't go out much after the sun went down. Spent six weeks in Ensly also and dido.

@@BEvans-sb3lp Don't believe a word of that! At least one major mall has shut down and another is a dangerous place. 20 minutes driving around Montgomery will convince you to stay away for 20 years.
@@MrTwister50 One major mall shut down because 4 other major shopping areas in the city opened. And the mall that closed is now a huge magnet high school on one side and a fire and police complex on the other. Fact is, you can make any city in America look as if it’s all bad by a clip like this, but the areas shown are less than 1% of the city. This city also now has its own Bowl Game. Ms Stardust said Thx for taking us around MGM, which the video creator did not, as stated in the video title.
@@BEvans-sb3lp Totally understandable! No worries! I plan to check out Montgomery at some point myself so I will get an completely idea of how the entire city looks and what it has to offer! I plan to vlog there as well!
@@TravelingOnStardust Wonderful! Tons of history here as well and an awesome EJI memorial and equal justice monument you should capture during your vlog!! I think you’ll love this little city! Population ~200,000…. 65% black 🖤
@Jason Coughenour We just do with a drink as soon as you wake up and then potato for breakfast mixed up all day with loads of the black stuff and then more potato and then more Irish whiskey and more spuds with more potato 🥔 and that's pretty much it all day long then come the evening event it's a big spud cooked with loads of Bailey's and Sheridan's and then a good old fight out on the cobles and then more Irish whiskey and Irish spuds and then story's and songs about the banshees and fight on a ring covered with potatoes skins and mixed with the black stuff and see who can't last two weeks of drinking eating spuds and more drink and stories of the old potatoes fights and drinking then it's been passed down from father to son and sometimes son to brother and more drinking then eating spuds on top of drinking the black stuff and eating spuds we have reliable transportation to drinking and eating spuds called ponsheen it's a grand life eating drinking and fighting so it is GODBLESS 🍀❤️🙏
Still plenty of rough areas in Montgomery but the downtown core has really improved over the last few decades. When I was younger it was very dangerous to go there at night.

You was downtown the whole time 🤣🤣 nowhere near the most dangerous streets in Montgomery. Actually relatively safe compared to the ACTUAL dangerous areas.
Old Cloverdale is pretty rough. This is one of the oddities of Montgomery. There is No Bad Part of town. It's not isolated to one specific area. There's pockets Everywhere.
I did my undergrad studies at Alabama State University in Montgomery. Most of this footage is near the campus. It's a low socioeconomic neighborhood but not very dangerous. In my humble opinion, West Montgomery is way more intimidating
It’s dangerous everywhere you go. Everywhere is just about the same. But just cuz some of the hoods look bad doesn’t mean they’re dangerous asf. Yea you’ll get what you’re looking for if you push out that energy but isn’t that just about everywhere?
From here and I’m gonna tell you these are NOT the most dangerous streets. Maybe more outdated areas. I’m gonna need you to ride the nawf side at night 😂
No thanks, I work down there, and Correct, never go to the north side, made a wrong turn and we got a bottle smashed against our truck , needless to say, we didnt go to our job and told the contractor to get someone else!! Be Safe!!
To be honest with you, majority black localities in the South are a lot nicer looking than the ones in the Northeast. Lots of single houses and the yards are well kept. And I hear the black people in the Deep South are friendly too, that is if you’re not disrespectful or involved in any rivalries.

The south is the poorest region in the USA…the northeast is the richest…beat schools ,healthcare etc. 2% if the USA land but make 30 percent of the money
Mate, what make you say this is most dangerous street in Montgomery Alabama? It looks like paradise to me in comparison to some streets in Los Angeles LOL 😂. I think people from Montgomery or even the whole State of Alabama are the most friendly people in the country.
Why do people associate poverty with dangerous? I went through Alabama on my way to Florida and did not see one crime- I’m white 68 year old and not once was I bothered. Went to the legacy museum and learned a lot about black history. We all need to fight against poverty. Kamala 2024
Montgomery, AL Most Dangerous Streets?!? Green grass everywhere, no graffiti anywhere to be seen, no trash in the gutters, no homeless encampments, no dealers slinging on a corner, etc. So what's the problem?
Come right the f*** off of it. I've been living and working in those areas 10 years now. You want to see dangerous go over to smiley Court. Even working as a public servant in those areas you drove through, wasn't bad. Most of those people out there are nice and just trying to get by. And just because you can get some party favors in the area does not make it dangerous.
The neighborhood shown was once an area of living, business, and commerce to the blacks citizens of Montgomery; especially during the Jim Crow era... The city withheld tax money for years from the community, which the area and community transitioned into a decline... The community had it's own movie theater, hotel, dining, etc in addition to Alabama State University... There is an array of great history that surrounds the area and community... However, BS that the streets are dangerous is posted...smh
go to north side montgomery and see what’s up, you just showing a couple streets around ASU, which is no where near the most dangerous parts of montgomery.
The system is not the problem its this generation...we got more opportunities now than ever before...for example.. this dude who rides around in his car recording videos probably makes more money than somebody back then that worked all day...its no excuse opportunities are everywhere
@@jamarcussimmons3044 there is no problem with this generation. Most of the hoods you see have always been hoods. Y’all just dumb as fuck believing everything was better back in the day. In fact this generation is more educated then ever before. The problem is this American style single family house was always doomed to fail. The people who built these houses left in search of bigger houses and didn’t want to live next to the smaller ones. So they left and the jobs followed them. Not to mention this is Montgomery you fucking goofy. Most of this shit has been here since segregation and they could never build the best houses.
Montgomery only rough when you fuck with us ... for the most it ain't all that bad ... but don't get it twisted ,,, if ya ain't from round here ,,, tread lightly ...
For Montgomery to be a major city and capital city it's behind the times, public school system fails the black youth while the other races put there children in private schools, and they go on to become something in life, I feel like the people that stay here never reach there full potential
@@chrisrobertson1654 always a racial issue with you internet folks ... there's plenty of black families who doing great out here and in private schools ... plenty of high class blacks out here ... plenty of low class whites too ... I can't stand when people make comments on things and places they know nothing about ...
I live in Montgomery It's not like the way you are showing this picture. Why can't you show where Montgomery has grown a lot. These are old neighborhood that are from their old family homes. But there are beautifully places
I was born and raised in the South. Even though I have traveled alot for my job. I always come home to Alabama. Southern hospitaly here is like no other. God Bless Dixie.
*Excuse me sir could you point me to the tourist information centre?* Sure - turn left at the trap house, go past the fly tip on your right, through the red light zone, right at the off licence with bars on the window & you can't miss it. It'll be on fire
Alabama is not that bad. The areas that is being display is where the older folks live. 80 and plus. There are some beautiful spots in Alabama they just explore some of the dirtiest areas
I live here for 2 years as kid who never live areas before these kids in these type of areas grow up too fast they act like adults having sex smoking doing whatever they what to do and the school system here is very terrible it’s like kindergarten work it’s sad but it was eye opener

As someone who has delivered to almost all of these streets. The struggle is real but ive gotten bigger tips at times in areas like these than some of the richer neighborhoods.
They are for the heating unit. It gets cold here, so yes...we need heat. It's unseasonably warm right now, but January and February are normally the colder months here. Northern Alabama even gets snow.

Is that the same cat 🐈⬛ walking the streets. Every city has a bad side of town. One thing I will never understand is that, some people rather live in a rundown home. But, are driving cars/trucks of the year. I’d rather fix my house & drive an old car.
@@dot7107 hello Dot :) , ....ce is not better in Europe, on the contrary, Europe is a "dead" continent where there is not much future for young people ... that's why many people try to leave for the USA or CANADA. I wanted to say that this is not the image that we have of the USA here in Europe.

That 90% of the landlords ? I know for fact, in Franklin County Alabama ! are what we call , Big Time Slum Lords ! And there's a big problem with that Because there's no laws saying, they have to do work ! to the home, that they rent out ! So if people don't fix it Their Selves, it is not going to get done ! Then The Tennant don't want to pay for something the landlord destroyed himself by not fixing It , when it was simple , & Cheap ? Instead of waiting to it costs to much ? Also these people down here are not the same as we are This the Dirty South ! If they can get something out of ur pockets instead of there's ! Then they will do it ! a million times over ! And lie cheat and steal big Factz ! And brag about it later !
