WEST HAVEN Connecticut Downtown Driving Tour 

Just leave.

Stop whining. Your belly is full.

Hi u come to montréal and i come down there let s change

He’s right it sucks but why can’t you leave

someone got hooked on the drugs

Thanks for watching! I lived in west haven for a few years about 20 years ago and couldn’t believe how much it had changed when I visited at the time I took this video. The people were so rude. Traffic was horrible. It just looked dirty. Of course captain Thomas blvd and the Savin rock area was nice. But other than that, I wouldn’t want to go back.

I know, I am hoping people aren't getting sick of it! I am almost done with the New England content and will be going back to the Southeast areas before I venture back out (probably toward AR/Dallas/OK) to get more cities.. Thanks for watching! 👍😀

@@601TRAVELS No! We appreciate anything you post! I love Dallas! Been there three times and have really understood the area. It's very big! Lot's of new stuff. Plenty of space. Reminds me I need to check out Houston better.

Yeah west havens not as bad as new haven but it’s getting close lol

@@601TRAVELS Well, I would greatly appreciate some videos of the 'Darker Side' or negative sides of both West and New Haven. Are they as bad as the some of the footage like in your other videos from Mississippi?

Who makes it out as a war zone? That's ridiculous

Nah the Savin rock area got overrun by crazy teens doing whatever they want

Thanks so much

I lived over by UNH for about 5 years and I think West Haven changed a lot. You are right though, the day was miserable for a drive to begin with. Before shooting the video I sat on the beach at Savin rock and waited for the sky to open but it never really got the way I was hoping. Regardless there are a lot of memories there for me as well. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

Also grew up in West Haven and was a nice look back. It has changed a lot since moved away 35 years ago.

Glad you got a chance to see it izntmac!

Thanks for watching! I had this long thing typed out where I cussed these asshole drivers who were giving me shit for being out of state and called the city a dump but I decided to delete it. Its got some good parts but its a total dump in others. I think Michael Bolton has a beach house there. I hope those power lines electrocute some of the residents. Its funny how places change.

@@601TRAVELS They're that bad there?

Sorry I guess I am still just REALLY bitter. I felt unsafe more than once and I didn't even go into the really bad parts. Having people driving really aggressive behind/around you and getting nervous when stopping at a red light with them because you are expecting them to come up to your window type feeling. When I lived there I never noticed it. I think they saw the southern plate and they just assumed I was some lost idiot who didn't know where I was or where I was going.

@@601TRAVELS I take it they don't appreciate tourism then.

Thats odd, must people are very friendly in WH. All of my family is from there and I was there until after high school. I wouldn't even say WH us truly ghetto. It has lower income areas in Allentown...but the true ghettos is in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford. West Haven is still a beautiful city, but each is own. Everyone has their own opinion

The rock is still there, that is about it! Not like the good ole days...

I lived in Allentown.

Allen town is small and up and coming.

I used to live literally down the road from UNH off the Boston post road (Rt 1) and can say that it is a hit or miss. West Haven has a lot of crime being so close to new haven. I would call the police department and ask specifically about where you are looking to rent/buy. Overall West Haven is not very safe but it’s not the worst place to live. Good luck to you and thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you will stick around and subscribe. 👍🏻🙂

Allentown area is a little more ghetto due to New Haven, I agree. However, if you go more towards the beach and Milford it is much better. Closer to Orange is a hit or miss. I've lived all over WH.

West haven is nasty

That neighborhood in the North end of West Haven near the University of New Haven is called ALLINGTOWN … not “Allentown”.

Yep! Might as well be new haven.

You’re smart. And not because of your masters 😂

I'm stuck here and wouldnt anything more than to get back to Texas

@@jessicaluna9188 Just get in your car or buy a plane ticket on credit.

Same here! I just drove home to Hudson Valley back in 1990

I’m 110% with you.

Come to think of it I remember when Milford only had one black person and the house was off exit 36 across from the Exon where they put the hotel. Let's tour all waste Haven's projects.

I remember Milford being like that, too. I think there was 1 black guy in my graduating class. People got pissed when they brought in affordable housing, magnet schools, etc.. Then slowly people from Bridgeport, West Haven, New Haven, etc.. starting moving in and they got pissed again. It wasn't just black folk that were bringing drugs and crime into the town though, it was everyone from the other shit areas that were moving in.. Now, Milford wants their small little city back and its too late. Its over populated, over built and over priced!

@@601TRAVELS I recall them bussing minorities into schools and when we got armed police in West Haven high.

True story I dropped out of high school and got my GED because my parents moved to West Haven and I didn't want to go to West Haven schools because it was so violent at the time.

That was the best side. And even that is just shit so I guess it’s a good thing.

nah show 3rd ave no body saying shit bout dat

I know!! Also, Two Tomatoes is gone now... Sad times we live in.

High taxes in the city and state. Texas ZERO state income tax.
