It’s ironic he’s recording the west side of Baltimore during a pandemic. On the show “The Wire”, which is mostly set in West Baltimore, season 4 episode 1one of the drug dealers who hustled for Bodie was on the corner yelling out “Pandemic! Got that pandemic!” as the name of their dope lol
Theres a lot of nice old houses in the area that just need renovating. A lot of cities have stopped demolishing old parts of the city to keep the character and history of the city.
Look at the kind of cars these people blow their money on no wonder they are poor, not to mention stupid, throwing garbage in the street causes their world famous rat problem
Thank you so much for driving through Baltimore during the quarantine! I recently found your RU-vid channel and rode through NY, NJ, and Philly with you! I saw your old drive through of Baltimore from 2017 but I was hoping you'd do a new one to show what's going on now! I work outside of our country and I always stay up on what's happening going on in our national and local news. However, your drive throughs really give me the insight I want to see! After listening to our news I find myself wondering, "What are our people really doing?"" You help to answer that question! Thank you for all your drive throughs, but I'm particularly thankful for this one because Baltimore is my hometown! Are you going to do one for D.C. during this quarantine? Take care and stay well!
714Diego714 Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Bushwick, Fort Greene, Harlem, et al. Hipsters know that they ain’t making grand buildings like those brownstones anymore. A thorough inspection, and they’re ready to retrofit them sh*ts into 2020-comfort.
I’ve been through this area before. It’s sad that a Popeyes restaurant or similar has workers that are protected from bullets because they are behind a huge glass partition. And this is normal for the customers!
@Brian O`Conner Yup, My friend lived in that area and we went into the post office and it had a glass barrier as well. I'd never seen such a thing at a post office and was shocked and confused. It made me sad on different levels.
When I look at West Baltimore I always think about Gary from “The Corner” roaming these streets and went from rags to riches and then death because of his downfall. I bet he was a real good guy in real life.
Some of those blocks were mostly boarded up....I wonder why so many people left? Are there no jobs in Bmore? I couldn't imagine living on a block where it's more boards up than occupied homes. That's too spooky and desolate for me. I wonder what would bring people back. At some point I bet these areas were lively and people lived in all those homes.
Baltimore in the past was a major industrial town, similar to Detroit or Cleveland. When industry's like automobile manufacturing left, many people did too. As crime and schools got worse, people started leaving to the suburbs. Baltimore also built many rowhouses because population was growing fast in the early 1900s with limited space. That's why there are so many abandoned homes, mostly older cheaper row homes
Everything that VeryLegitPerson said is true. However, we must address the tolls that drugs have took on Baltimore. Crack cocaine and heroine have done severe damage to Baltimore! Unfortunately, many people died due to drug related deaths i.e. overdosed, developed other diseases related to drug use (HIV and AIDS). Likewise, many that got addicted to drugs lost their jobs and families because they couldn't get themselves together again. Additionally, you have multi-generation of families that are incarcerated because of selling drugs.
Baltimore is a rust belt like the MAJORITY of the great lakes midwest area and exceptional east coast states like NJ, PA, And MD (Baltimore, Hagerstown, Cumberland)
Hey Clarlie, you're doing God's work. More people need to see these videos, cause there are a lot of people who dont fully understand or know what is going on in these areas.
@@rdns263 whiny ass uneducated crybabies always let the fear get to em, then they try to act big by telling the ones who know better about things they fear themselves. Laughing my ass off at you fools
@@yup7091 lol yeah, well i live near a large wood and am really lucky to be able to go and wonder in there and just sit and take in nature, i dont think i could survive in that kinda environment it just looks so lifeless & depressing
It is depressing to me.The people rude .Cant go to the store or gas station without some dealer asking if want to buy drugs.Damn all I want to do is take of my business and go home ,not get rush over asking do I want weed or that mess I call crack
@@lovingme1082 Yeah drugs mess people up badly, my friend got into the drug game and went from the most honest guy i knew to stealing and robbing (even his own parents), i know what addiction is like as i used to be addicted to gambling and once stole of my own father which is im obviously not proud about. Being able to live and survive without being realiant on the Government is key & then jut realise health and the basics is all you need, the materialistic stuff is just a waste of time and money
They should be looking for jobs with all that free time. Small towns are the same way. Doesn’t even occur to people to look for a job. 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t get it.
I'm not a big fan of this housing stock. (looks very similar to the Trenton and Philly vids, nearly same designs). Just blocks and blocks of of boxes. The homes are too close together. I'm glad when Chicago was built the builders decided to give space in between each home and im glad they built Chicago with alleys and garages in the back.
I see how on the wire chris and snoop was putting bodies in abandoned buildings so many and the show portrayed Baltimore so perfect coming from Chicago
I love Baltimore!! Much love for Christian Liberty Church!!! You gotta walk up and meet people with love in your heart and the people showed me that everytime I vist in August for the back to school celebration held by Christian Liberty Church Pastor Wayne Lee. Much Love Chi town Corey
Some of those alleys he is taking makes him look like one of two things. The cops or the opps. Lol Either way he needs to be careful. My heart pounding for him.
@@generalvanman8270 agreed the victim mentality gotta go...we are all responsible for ourselves... I'm white n grew up in the hood... it's not color or $$$ its knowledge and educating yourself...we are responsible for ourselves not the govt or anything else
It set in a long time ago in my ancestral homeland, B’more. In and around Mt. Royal Avenue in central Baltimore, there was quaint gentrification springing up around my father’s apartment complex on North Avenue right at I-84, in the ‘90s; when I went there in 2018 there was a lively, artsy community forming near the Amtrak (Penn) station; about a mile east of the infamous Pennsylvania Avenue. That’s how it starts. Have to admit, it was cute, and somewhat safe. North Avenue is always looming though.
People have been wanting to gentrify for the past 30 yrs its it's not that simple. There have been pockets of gentrification but obviously nothing major yet. There are very high levels of poverty hence the crime rate. Not just poverty but 3rd world level poverty.
rose l Sorry, rose I; I hear you, still, Baltimoreans DO NOT experience a “third world level of poverty”. If you want to see “major” gentrification, you need go no further than downtown Brooklyn, NYC, which, in only 10 years, has gone from seedy and dangerous to something resembling the skyscrapers of Upper East Side Manhattan
@@nycsongman9758 Are you from Baltimore? There a kids starving. That's why there a squeegee kids on the street and kids getting involved in crime to feed themselves bc they are literally hungry. If that's not 3rd world poverty idk what is. Even if their parents get govermnet assistance they dont use it to feed the kids or its not enough so they turn to crime.
I grew up there, and he rode past one of my former babysitter's homes....at least I think that was Smallwood he was on as he was heading toward Carver High at one point. The block looks the same. However, some of the other blocks where all or most of the homes were boarded up is heartbreaking. The block I grew-up on Poplar Grove and North Ave, is now boarded up or gone. To know that people used to live in those homes...and those homes were some people's pride and joy at one point. Geez. Wow. That's all I can say.
It’s crazy after all these years when people see anything dealing with Baltimore all they think of is the wire we need to bring more positivity to the city
I was just in Baltimore literally a day ago! People hang outside like it's nothing, but you can't go in ANY stores without a mask on. Blessings and shoutout to Baltimore, Maryland.
My home town this kinda shows you why we are out on the streets protesting not just because of cops it's because we have to live like this the leadership don't seem to care half of them don't even come down to this part of town out of site out of mind no investment in the community to all my Baltimore family speak up and hold those in power accountable much love to all stay safe and healthy
I haven't lived in the states since 1990, but I did live in east oakland during the 80s (hometown of the crack epidemic) and one clear difference is that there are some very nice cars on those streets. Still the same garbage everywhere, and the buildings are crappier, but how the hell can everybody own cars that aren't sitting on flats with trees growing out of the hood?
@@lamBETTERthanY0U They are on their way ..... just like they did New Orleans Brooklyn ,Harlem, Miami (overtown) .Next cities on list Philly, Chicago,Baltimore. They have done part of D.C The white man is patient give them 5 years.....Each city is going to only have 1 part that is dysfunctional and it will be a small part
Jaime D earn a living in a place with 0 municipal investment. Are you seeing this place thriving with small business opportunity? Are you slow? Maryland is like the second richest state in America. You don’t know anything about corruption and the legacy of jim crown combined with northern like corruption. You are just another obnoxious white man. Smug with no historical reference or understanding.
This just isn't how all of Maryland is, but yes, this is a very bad and unsafe part. Also, many other states have bad neighborhoods just like West Baltimore
You can drive 15-20 minutes outside of the city and see beautiful rolling hills and waterfalls. The bad hoods don't define Baltimore and Baltimore doesn't define Maryland.
The people in Baltimore are very friendly. It's funny how nice they are given the circumstances. I've lived in safer cleaner cities where people were downright selfish and rude.
Its like that in every hood rn and I predicted it would be and that black ppl would have the higher rates but although ik there are other factors but niggas for sure can't get away from chilling n partying, pandemic or not niggas gon die partying.
Does anyone else get the feeling all of America has been left to rot. Every part. The whole thing. As if it is not needed anymore. U.S. fought the Germans, it was a trick, they didnt want a central banking system. Now it's everywhere. We are all pawns of a rich man's game.
Mimi P poverty will do that similar to trailer parks , tenement projects etc !!! Lower socioeconomics come into play. The city isn’t rushing to put the same campaigns and tax dollars towards these LMI areas. Everyone is at fault
It’s kinda sad seeing my city on here && everybody opinions😐but we gotta be out, that’s how we survive. In Baltimore alot of us teens have to fend for ourselves, we gotta get it someway🤷🏽♀️. Like me my mom stop taking care of me when I was 9 years old, I’m 16 now with 4 kids. 3 boys & 1 girl I love my kids, I just don’t want them to be like me && I don’t wanna be like my momma😔! (Who ever read this I’m sorry I just need to vent) && we don’t do thing just to do it. There’s a reason for everything we do!
Maybe make your way out and then and only then maybe have children why put them in that situation. Otherwise they will be in the same sit....you know I'm wasting my time typing
John C I mean it’s hard I’m 16 with 4 kids, I didn’t wanna be a parent yet I wanted to be a kid but I wasn’t raised or taught properly, so I had to learn as I got older by myself
I do hope some who mare reading the comments section, In these neighborhoods , im sure everyone may have the internet connection, get on the learning channel meaning RU-vid and learn from Ty the forex trader, (and many others ) if you are willing to learn something new, you can better the situation and place where you live, start small you dont need $lots of $$$$$, you can even start with $100. So fam just type in the word forex trading join the groups, listen to people advise, but learn from them and start making your own money, GREAT JOB MY FRIEND YOU HAVE OVER 300k SUBS... GREAT FOR YOU
Oh no,the 'W' word! And whats up with that "them" thing?Whatcha mean by dat?? (Just having fun here.) You would think they would at least pick up what's in front of their house. smh
I went to a supermarket in the UK on Friday, it was very busy, maybe over 100 people shopping and squeezing past each other in the aisles. If you’re going to catch Coronavirus anywhere, it’s going to be there. I was the only person wearing a mask.
