True. I've lived here my whole life. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Yeah, we definitely have issues. But it's not that bad. Some areas, yeah. But that's the same in any city.
I used to work at St. V's (Cherry Street) and one day I took my daughter who was about 4 at the time there because I had to pick something up. We were driving down Delaware and she made the most innocent comment about the boarded up houses. "There are a lot of haunted houses around here!" Yes, there are, honey.
I’m from Detroit but have to go to Toledo for work every Wednesday. Toledo is so dope every part of the city has whites,blacks,Latinos,Arabs. It’s such a melting pot. It’s refreshing seeing everyone coexist
aye someone said something positive about my glass city.East side I ride but I love it here..funny I hated it growing up and then moved away for college fir 7 years and then moved back to good old ttown.Nothing like it...so diverse.We need alot of cleaning up and people could be less rude hur it is what it is...shout out to the wyler's lmao featured in this video...still not sure what this video is about but I'll take it.Chillin by Smokedale myself as we soeak.
Strange how I've been thinking a lot about my hometown lately. Been gone for many years now. You can take a person out of Toledo, but Toledo lives inside the person forever.
Nashville Hillbilly here, Thanks for the post. Saw a place where I actually lived for a while. Lived in Toledo 11 years and came to love it but better paying job pulled me away. God Bless the Mudhens !!!!
This neighborhood looks fit for humans to live, unlike some other places he’s visited. When I was a kid, a friend of a friend lived in the Projects (we were too little to know it was the Projects), but the homes inside were really nice inside and out and we played outside and everything looked decent.
The thing bout Toledo is the same street that have family and friends on it enjoining life be the same exact street somebody could have just died on yesterday
@Jack I am from Toledo. Canton has a higher (not by much) Violent Crime rate than Toledo. The only two cities with the higher VC rate in Ohio in Canton and Cleveland.
I thought the huge old homes quite nice and very clean and well kept. Nice neighborhoods. The projects were very clean and well kept too. Looked like pride in the people in these "hoods".
Current status (and last 20 years) loss for words... Toledo is and always will be a nasty step kid to Detroit and Cleveland. A great hide out for all and anyone long as your not from here lol
@@j_toledo419 Well, it WAS a hideout for Big City Gangsters backed in the 1920s and 1930s. That is how the name "Holy Toledo" came from. It was a sanctuary city for Gangsters and other criminals who wanted to lay low, backed in the day.
Glad to see your back in Ohio Charlie. If you’ve got the time check out some west Cleveland hoods: Clark-Fulton (puerto rican neighborhood), and the stockyards neighborhood. Probably the most dangerous areas on the west side
I Live In Cleveland I Live In The Stockyards Neighborhood I Wouldn't Disagree However The Street I Live On Is Fairly Calm Most Of The Time I Found That If You Are Out Looking For Trouble Or Hanging Out With A Sketchy People You Increase Your Chances Significantly For Bad Things To Happen Not Saying Its Totally Safe But You Can Invite More Problems Into Your Life If You Choose To Go Down That Road That's Why I Just Mind My Own Business For The Most Part
definitely one of the better seeming places you've visited. one thing i enjoyed was seeing kids actually outside playing instead of inside on phones and ipads
@@davidalexander5923 idk bluhh you should see the pj's in Brooklyn or the Bronx. Those garden homes look like they would rent for $3,000 a month in NYC
I grew up in the Weilers lived out there from head start 2 high school. Saw my old apt you turned around in. A lot of memories, good and bad.Real definition of getting it out the Mud
My neighbors have been complaining about my front bush needs a little trimming. Your video proves that it is, I’ll be a good hoodlander and trim it up this morning.
Naw! I think the hoods are better. But, the city (citywide) has gotten worse than the 1980s and 1990s. But, at least we have no more COKEWOODS (1400 - 1500 Oakwood Crack Epidemic), anymore. The gang violence are different, but the levels are about the same today as it was in the mid 1980s - mid 1990s.
Hey Charlie, you should link up with hip hop artists from each city and put their music in the background of your vids. It would help promote the local music too
Every city has it's problems but living near Toledo and exploring all over the state of Ohio I would say Toledo is a good place that has it's issues just like across the US.
It’s actually a nice little area with proper civic management it could have good potential. The community keeps itself clean and presentable this is good
I literally just posted that. I worked for Marco's Pizza on Starr Ave. and those places were big NO-GO DELIVERY zones lol. Not nearly as bad as the delivery zone for the Marco's on Lagrange and Manhattan. There seems to be more no-go zones on their map than places they can deliver to. haha
im from this city name of these projects is the weilers on the east side unlike most cities in the country this not one of the best but its affordable to live in and i notice a lot of people from detroit is living here too lol so shout out to u
I've lived here all my life until 2018 where I moved to newcastle england and I can't get this place outta my head funny enough the hood areas in toledo look better than some of the good areas of newcastle, don't get me started on the people here aswell, people who think the USA is going bad should see how the uk is
Folks better stop sleepin on Ohio💯💯 All my family from Cleveland. They migrated to Savannah Ga when my uncle moved down here in started a business. Last time I was up there was in 2007 I was 15 before my gma died she lived in Euclid. Ima SAV baby but got nothin but love for Ohio still got family in Cleveland Chardon and Cincinnati still a die hard Brown's fan✊💪
Difference is, here in Toledo we try and NOT act retarded all the time, rather not ask the police to come thru ya know. Anyway this the east side, and looks early before anyone woke up lol..
@@joannlittlejohn3785 Well, they BEEN doing that. I was in Lincoln elementary in the early 1990s and I had saw 3 school shootings (that was when during a year I moved there in 1993, and took place between 1993 - 1994) there. One guy pull a gun right in front of me trying to shoot someone, but the gun jammed. Saw another one in Robinson Junior High (inside the school) in 1994. None of it was ever on the news, so I think many schools in Toledo was having gun issues, backed then. Lot of gang activity backed then. Unlike today, people was dying over colors and hats being turned to the wrong side, not to mention territory.
@@noneofyourdamnbusiness9012 SO TRUE. You right. I was in the weilers around that time and we was dealing with alot of stuff in there. Back then ALOT of stuff wasnt on tv
Finally went to the projects. Ppl act like we ain’t got any from other videos I seen. Like I tell everybody Toledo is a cool place fr but don’t get it twisted, crazy stuff can happen too. Toledo the type of place where you can talk to anybody and be very cordial but disrespect ain’t tolerated lol
Possibly but he also blew up during a golden era when people would buy and listen to anything on the shelf. That's why theirs been so many one hit wonders over the last ten years. In the spot light one day then gone the next
go to the woods or stickney. that’s Toledo. An if you wanna show the east go to Birmingham, the Birmingham Terrace, and Ravine Park Village (The Ville) or the 05 for short.
I do not know how your vision works, but Toledo is now divided into subdivisions of New York, Chicago, Detroit, and there are shootings just about daily. It used to be the perfect place to settle down to raise a family.
Yeah you get fines for not cutting your grass and there are burned down and boarded up but nobody that does these type of videos really goes in the hoods in Toledo.
1:49 - Not as emptied as that one apartment complex in Atlanta you recently showed us as you drove through that one night, but this also looks like something might be up someone's gentrifying sleeve in the years to come!
Ahhh nothin like the sound of the locust, been hearing it all my life been living in Toledo 8 years, it has it's problems but it's a very spread out city, one street rough as hell, go a street over and it's upper middle class. All in all treat people with respect and I've never had any problems here.
You went to the projects where mfs actually tryna raise they kids and move up out of there and stay to themselves lol . They can’t even smoke inside them apartments 😂
Born and raised in Toledo. I was born in Riverside hospital. I grew up on Buffalo Street. I know exactly what went wrong with Toledo and it started in the late seventies
Nice, you got the East side. Next time, why don't you swing through the Ravine Park Terrace area, or the Birmingham Terrace. Or just about any property in Toledo owned by BEAL. But East Side yo. Grew up on that end of town. Now in west Toledo. Pretty nice here (for Toledo).
CharlieBo in the O 💯💪🏾 I knew OG was gone slide through the mud soon or later, 419/567 my city born and raised. Southside native, but I fucks with the whole city!
@@CKACKAJACKA Yeah! He came from the Millvale Gym with Mike Stafford. I beat some of their fighters, before, while fighting for NUBIA, out here in Toledo. They got a lot of GREAT Amateurs from Cincy. Seems like everyone there were "Southpaws," which annoys me (So, they have a lot of Left hand writers? LOL). Hate fighting there because of those HILLS (I am scared of heights). Every time my Boxing Coach drive me around Cincinnati, it was like a roller coaster ride and I feel nauseated every time.
Thats Definitely only the Eastside which is across the water it's like a different city over there you gotta hit the West, North, and South of Toledo #419
@@Mosby55 We used to make jokes about the East Side. It is the OHIO side of the city. The other side of the river is Michigan. Technically, that is true. Vistula and Port Lawrence were the oldest neighborhoods in Toledo, and used to be villages in Michigan. When the Michigan-Ohio border wars ended (which only killed two pigs, I think, LOL), those places became Ohio. Then, the two villages came together in formed Toledo.
Their called the weiler Homes and i stayed there for 2 years. They look ok compared to some of the projects ive seen on here BUT dont get it twisted. THOSE MF IS OFF THE HOOK. SOMEBODY ALWAYS GETTING SHOT AND KILLED THERE.

It never fails to amaze me how many shiny new cars are in these neighbourhoods.
are they all supposed to be dirty because they’re in the hood? are they not allowed to take pride in their cars ? this comment is stupid tbh

@@J.Gainez I was referring to the value of the vehicles. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking pride in one's vehicles, and possessions. It is admirable.
@@J.Gainez No it's not because hood folks will take pride in their clothes and cars but won't take pride in the way their family and neighborhood look ...
Alot of folks say they know Toledo. I will state, no, we are NOT Detroit. Born and raised, and have spent some time in Detroit. No, we are not Detroit at all. If you want a dream, come to Toledo. If you want TROUBLE, pay a visit to Toledo. No, we are NOT Detroit. But if you want good or BAD, you will find both in my hometown. If you want trouble, you will STILL find it here in Toledo.
