What's up CharlieBo313! I know you've answered this question in the past, but maybe you have an updated answer. Which neighborhoods did you feel the least safe in? Oakland and Baltimore seem like two at the top.
Aye brother since you driving thru all these hoods lets understand why from east to west they are all a mess. 💥This Documentary was filmed by good folks from your city... Tha D!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f4Lxc3jNtro.html
Hi CharlieBo313 Dig your channel man. I have a question do you or your vehicle ever get recognized by people? I would like to think the good people who do say what's up and show love and respect.
Bruh you gotta show the projects like Barry farms, clay terrace, simple city, 37th, Lincoln heights, whaler place, Garfield terrace... you just drove around in circles around anacostia and Alabama ave
Lived in this area for 2 years but been around the area because my best friend moved there for almost 20 years. It's dangerous but it's home to a lot of people. With the prices in DC the way they are. You live where you can afford and you adapt.
Yes been in DC all my life never understood that. I mean everybody know what you doing? It's not like the helping to bring positive change to our neighborhoods. Fucking eye sore.
Rayryan dont mind em they ignorant racist ass ppl. If u dont mind me asking when did the chocolate city start declining? I moved to dc 3 years ago there was strong black presence at the time but was I there during its called chocolate city or I missed before I moved?
@@2.3_44XD-- lo primero que hice fue buscar la primera salida al subway. recuerdo que alguien me ofrecio lo que parecia ser droga en uno de los vagones del subway, pero créeme baltimore es mucho peor, DC es disney comparado a baltimore
DC still has bad areas but the murder rates have been much less than half of what they were in the 80's and 90's, even though they've gone up in the last two years. .
@@nataliegrayhandle chill man it ain't that bad. Sometimes they melee but they don't rlly do shootouts. If you tryna ask people that question do that on DC Deanwood and Stadium Armory DC videos. Anacostia is calm compared to those. I've been near Anacostia most of the early stages of my life.
Peggy Platter Hill I’m a white woman and most of the people I’ve known who have done that are white some of the hardest working educated people I’ve known are black! Ive been around almost 61 years and lived in many parts of the USA I’ve seen and heard it all and you’re comment so offensive on so many levels!
Be safe man..I can't imagine you're driving all over the country just for the money you get on RU-vid vids...idk wtf else you're doing, I can only guess but be safe boss man.
his videos get tens if not hundreds of thousands of views and he is consistent about releasing content. He's for sure making some decent money off youtube and of course people also donate to him on paypal
@Aimee Webber because we're getting kicked out of our homes by big companies. The people shown in the video know of a better life, and are envious of that lifestyle. Are we not allowed to complain about things that we feel are wrong?
Hey Charlie You should do some middle class black suburbs across the US, like parts of PG County, Stone Mountain GA, Carson CA, Southfield MI, Missouri City TX,
@@mrla3910 the golden lions lmao dude walked out of the shadiwa in the alley with a Bengal tiger. Lmfaoo just saw it for the first time in my life a few nights ago
Shiddd he driving a lil slow to be here in DC. I was scared for him on so many levels so many times. You can't just slow down and make stops and sit there in this city. Glad he's safe though.
Look like most of the beginning you was around Good Hope Road ( Choppa City ) then you ran thru 30th ( Big 3-0 ) then around 23rd and Savannah then up MLK around Mellon Street then up the legendary Barry Farms and parkchester ( Barry Farms getting torn down at this moment ) to back up Choppa city
@@adriann.e7529 when big dawg? That's more my side, division, eastern, mlk (md side) not having my car for past 2 weeks I've been ubering and haven't been around much. Shh guess matter of time before they run through rest of this side clay, Eastgate Benning park etc
Good Hope Road Anacostia Choppa City R.I.P. ALI Southeast Washington DC//This is gentrification DC you definitely cannot ride through certain neighborhoods just cruising like this when I was Young//That car would have got hit up like Queen latifah in set it off real talk butt keep up the good work and be safe
Yeah why is that ? Who just shoots up a random car driving down the street posing no harm? I'm from South Central Los Angeles we don't just air cars out , with out a cause, to me that's a senseless shooting, you know who your enemies are
@@LXRD-SUPREME-I just wrote so much shit that didn't even show up but anyway I'm not talkin about driving down random streets I'm saying driving slow through the alleyways at night and certain neighborhoods because there were a lot of drug war and Hood beefs and certain neighborhoods if they were not familiar with your car and you are driving around the neighborhood very slow that could end up being very deadly and especially if your car circles the neighborhood two or three times
@@kingroyalty-thelion1776 ook In that aspect I feel it and understand. Same applies here in Los Angeles ,if an unrecognized car keeps circling we call it lookin thirsty and would definitely be on it . Peace Love one and stay up champ 🤟
Every once and while you catch part of a random conversation that makes me lmao. @18:00 "It's bread brah. Cause he ordered a B L T, brah. That's what they put blts' on". I didn't know why but that had me fuckin dying.
@@giantgiant268 are you from there ?? If not shut it !! I am and I said it look like se but I looks like the part of dc across the md line you are obviously not from there so close it
DC has some bad spots! It ain't shit compared to late 80's early 90's when I lived there! It was murda capital then! Almost 500 homicides that year. It was chocolate city to me!! Home of GoGo music🙌 very first day I moved there a 9 year old girl was killed in the crossfire on my street 😔 but I stayed! 2 weeks later police officer was shot dead in there car, musta been like 20 holes in that car! lived there a couple years. Shit was hectic every day you walked out the door! You had to put your game face on every day! Get caught sleepin death could be the outcome! but I had good times to and i survived! Maybe cause i eventually left, not sure. Chocolate city always has a special place in my heart! I'm a white dude by the way✊ Much love to the whole DC metro area!✌
@@StromLxrd6 Exactly! And thank you! Its also based on the fact that I lived there at that time and lost some good friends to gun violence and crack cocaine addiction. You never forget, trust me!
Killer Tim_23 im originally from ATL but moved to DC 3 years ago i live in SE its def hood but aint bad if u mind yo business. On the other side, atl aint even like that its mostly jacking shit down there i stayed in Pittsburgh. Just Beware of ur surroundings at any gas stations in A they jack cars down there. Be safe bra. Check out gripsgoodeat in southwest atl (black owned restaurant) if u havent its a must they shit hella good lol
DC has had the "Chocolate" side for a while. If anything, it looks to have improved. Part of that (I guess) can be attributed to the value of DC real estate. Too valuable to bomb out like in Baltimore.
Interesting video! I am a fifth generation Washingtonian ..love my hometown. I actually grew up in SE. Kind of sad to me to see what it looks like today .... Most of my hometown is clean and has wonderful neighborhoods
I love how the comments are people saying "I can tell he not from my city he ain't go to the right hoods" but all the hoods yall name don't exist anymore. I guess yall don't know yall city either lmao
DC small. But have a lot of hoods. Streets blocks & corners. It looks like he just in SE DC. You have NE, NW, SW. In my opinion. South East & North East. Are probably the roughest part of Washington DC. North West & South West DC have rough sections of their neighborhood also. 80's & 90's era. Probably was the most dangerous times in Washington DC. I should say early 2000's. In 4/23/2003. I got rob & shot in the head on Valley Ave in SE. Over a $10 bag of weed.
Keep it real, dc aint really all that bad. Lived in quite a few hoods in southeast & on the northside. Their is crimes going on but if you mind your business, you definitely wont find trouble
@@Miami-sz7nf Ive lived all over dc & there are no blacks who act uppity or have privilege. Never ran across em. Are you getting dc confused with Washington state?
These places haven't been dangerous since the late 80's and early 90's. DC is being heavily gentrified right now. In five years these hood won't exist. The crime rate in dc has been dropping 10+ years now. The job market is rapidly growing in certain fields. The wages are just growing to meet the cost of living.
Thanks for this information, while every body else is in the comments bragging about how dangerous it is . To be honest most big cities in America are dangerous . I'm from South Central Los Angeles
@@LXRD-SUPREME- Dc still has its rough areas and still has alot of hoods but alot of areas been gentrified. In the 80's and 90's It was the murder capitol. Averaging over 300, 400 plus murders a year. Now Dc average like 160 a year which is still bad because our city is so small.
@@kayyjohnson8325 thanks love yeah the 80's and 90's was a treacherous time. The crack cocaine epidemic had a such negative, and devastating impact on America, especially in all the urban areas
Now I'm from DC born and raised Southeast and it's not as dangerous as it was in the 90s and is as we speak being heavily gentrified however to say its not dangerous is crazy Southeast have a population a little over a 144,000 and has a higher homicide rate then cities like Richmond Virginia and Milwaukee Wisconsin with almost 70 homicides on the year so far now you can take from that what you will
And In the last past two years the homicide rate in Washington DC has actually went up 60% And in the past 3 weeks in Southeast police have gotten shot at every week /There has been triple shootings in southeast every week to every other week//You are definitely not talkin about (Southeast 👀 who's homicide rate is in the top 5 or 6 in the country not including the rest of of DC and according to Neighborhood Scout and I quote with a crime rate of 60 per 1,000 residence, Washington has one of the highest crime rates in America
But back onna 80's and 90's Dc was way worst than baltimore. We was the murder capitol. Certain parts of Dc is getting gentrified now but its still a crazy place to live
I don’t see what’s so “dangerous” about black people chillin outside. Those scary black folks are outside in front of their homes again. Yes I’m from and live in DC.
Tiffany, what is scary is that they are doing nothing. You expect people to be at work, or studying, or doing stuff at home (housework, diy) in order to get ahead. People who are idle _are_ scary to most of us.
Reader 123 what you just said is scary. The assumption is that since they are outside and not cleaning their homes that they are a threat? That’s sad. What happens on Saturday or after they WORK or GO TO SCHOOL? Stay in the house and stay out of sight so you don’t frighten anyone?? Yeah, makes a lot of sense. You’re stereotyping and you know it.
Wow! Who knew there were areas like this in Washington DC? :-O Some of this was seriously dodgy, like around 12:00! Stay safe, Charlie, a few times I was worried for you (e.g. at around 16:44...). Are these places far from the "real" Washington DC (ie. what you see on the news, the posh parts)? Could you walk in? Or is there a bus, if you wanted to go there from these places?
DC is a small city, these hoods are not that far from the white house area. Given how small the city is, you will be able to see the overlap of ghetto and rich areas
I was born and raised in both Northwest and Southeast DC. It's the nation's capital and no excuse for vacant buildings and limited services to the "east of the river" neighborhoods as that area is called. What you didn't see was the nice neighborhoods where the lawns and properties are well kept. I've not lived in DC in over 30 yrs. and I still only see limited gentrification or a change in the mindset of how some residents don't take pride in their community. The city and government are not going to do everything for you.
Gotti Montana he already did Richmond but just Chamberlayne, Brooklyn Park and another part I'm not familiar with. I don't think he'd drive through the ward or any of the projects tho.
Yo, the hood looks nice tho... might consider moving in...uh I'm mixed Eastern European and Middle Eastern, but born and raised in Northwest my entire life between U Street and Columbia Heights area. I could integrate no problem, but uh... will the community accept me or nah?
Im from Capitol Heights which is literally across the street from SE DC, I work in Baltimore, but as a child I spent Alot of Summers in West Akron Ohio (where my moms is from) you really should consider touring through Hoods in West Akron and Youngstown, them some wild places too but they are just smaller cities though...
Fuck no! Yall DC niggas kill me bragging bout them 5 from 88-93. 🤦♂️🤣. Baltimore murder rate was sky high in the 70's, 80's, 90's and now. Still popping. Its no comparison
Compared to a drive out Kercheval once you leave downtown all the way out to Grosse Pointe, the DC hoods look positively prosperous. They also seem to have plenty of cops, something Detroit sorely lacks.
Wouldn't have been able to make this video in the 90s...lol... niggas would've been paranoid and shot his shit up on gp. It was way too many niggas beefing out here back then.
Mike jones you ain’t lying I remember back when I was in school lost some partnas too that gogos beef like dam their goes moe they caught him slipping sad days 😢
I love my city but it’s definitely real Out here!! You forgot the northeast side tho Trinidad the pentacles and 21st definitely trenches! South side go hard but the northeast side definitely do to!
