Looks like low income housing anywhere. Like NYC, DC has been cleaned up a lot. Shlda seen those towns in the 1970s and 80s. This is chilled compared to those times. Your car woulda been stripped while you're moving. LOL!
I would like to start a patreon page for Charlie to get a new front end suspension system. Anyone else second the vote? Love the videos Charles, don't stop.
Acbn that’s the thing about DC. No matter how much revenue they make (among the highest) no matter how rich the neighborhood... the roads are just simply trash....
I don't know...driving up into the alleys behind some spots might not be optimal...especially filming stuff...no...it just doesn't sound like a good idea.
@@clevercode30 I use to live on Stanton Road across from Turner Elementary. Let's talk about helping out the "Hoods" of SE. TheAnswerIsTravel@gmail.com
yes you were in DC before .se Washington and also East over shopping centre . I use to live over there. 😮😮😮😮😮 It's really not that bad as long as you mind your business . they actually have some nice places over there now. big beautiful houses and condo,s. you will be surprised.
I used to live in Park Forest in Oxon Hill about 4 years ago.That area was no joke. I took my ass back across the bridge as soon as I got my money right.
I used to only pick up Uber in southeast dc. Now I only do doordash in southeast. I’m a skinny asian boy and I always get looks whenever I’m in the really rough part
hahahha man I feel you I went to a basketball game in Congress Heights with the metro, everybody was starring at me the whole time (I'm a white guy from Balkans) it was kinda funny. tbh I didn't feel anything more endangered then I did in my neighboorhood where I grew up back home. I think as a long as you mind your own bussiness you should be good, but I always kept the mentality from home when a thug requests you money/phone/whatever under a threat of knife/gun you always give that up, because you can always make up that stuff but not your health
Woodland Terrace and Shipley Terrace were Beirut back in the 80’s and early 90’s I grew up right at Naylor rd and Goodhope rd in Naylor Gardens. Across from that gas station use to be a row of stores and Skyland shopping center I worked at Skyland liquors I bet some folks should remember Clancy’s strip club and Fields record and variety store on Alabama ave. Where my Clancy’s crew at
+Alex Mawhorter When you say "always," do you mean since 2010 or some date like that? Because I can promise you, that a) that's not accurate and b) you definitely didn't say that in the 80s and 90s when DC looked as dirty as Baltimore and Philly in parts.
Dude drives through Woodland brings back memories,I went to Stanton elementary,somebody commented on you should see clay terr, my aunt and cousins lived in clay terr it was rough but no comparison to dudes and mayhem that came out of Woodland in the 70s,80sand 90s I know of 4 dudes from Woodland that got bodies that are still locked up to this day,Ainger pl,Bruce pl,Reynolds pl,and Langston lane was like the Wild West,back in the day it has cooled off now,thankGod.
You just drove into "the" most hated hood in all of DC. Let me give y'all a run down, I've been jumped by Woodland twice. & I had friends in Woodland/LynchMob. Now many gentrified hoods are forced to live in Woodland & murder is random & regular there. Welcome to Anacostia. The street you drove down with the steep hill is Gainesville GVG Gainesville Gangstas they used to always beef with Woodland. GVG is with Big 3-Oh & they beef with Woodland/LynchMob. Atleast when I was young, I'm 36 now. But Woodland beefs with everybody. I grew up & used to hustle on 18th, one block up from 18th & T that you passed around Good Hope Road aka Choppa City.
IIVLN Newman I'm from DC and let me tell you the parts you see in this video are very deadly,it was even more deadly during 80's and 90's, its kinda calmed down now but its still bad tho,He riding thru Southeast DC its real on that side of town
Hey Charlie I've seen a couple of your videos. Im a native Washingtonian. Next time come thru Morris Rd 1400 blk, Choppa City(W st, V st, Green St, T st) Big 30(30th st) Barry Farms, Whaler pl, MLK ave, 19th & Minnesota, A st, B st (Greenway apts),37th st, 36th & Minnesota. Thats just a few bruh i dont know if anyone ever gave u the hoods to go to but i hope to see a video on bruh. All are in Southeast DC
no this truck never goes to NE it's always around Langston pl woodland or Hartford at on the south side DC has many ice cream trucks that look the same we call him Jamaican and I talk to him almost daily
WASHINGTON AREA'S 703 HOMICIDES IN 1990 SET A RECORD By Gabriel EscobarJanuary 2, 1991 In 1990, 703 men, women and children were slain in the Washington area, most of them with guns, police reported. It was the third-straight record year for homicides here despite a drop in the number of slayings connected to drugs.
Harvey Grant during this time DC had 500 thousand residents Chicago and NeW York like today over 2 million smh it's called per capita for a reason why DC is murder capital...but I get ur disposition
Harvey Grant u got a point with that be always said our murders now are vein but it was in the past too...have u checked murder rate in mexico/Jamaica/brazil?...were a safehaven compared 2 that ..no love lost bro I agree with u 100 percent maybe I just misunderstood at first....
@Harvey Grant facts bra. I remember back in the 90s you couldnt even walk no where without getting fucked with. These 90s and 2000s kids nice hell now imo
Lets be real DC has real niggaz and still has some hoods. But DC in no way is consider a ran down ghetto even in their hood areas. Again its not to sleep on tbe realities of a hood. Its just DC is definitely what i would consider to havePolished hood areas, except for a few spots. Coming from North Philly, its not to brag but oyr shit is fucked! Broad st is looking better due to Temple U influence. And parts of South Philly being gentrified. But we still a bombed out poverty stricked ghetto. DC is not as dirty. I think its sue to the city structure and planning. Once again i would not sleep on DC for all the nay sayers. They get it in.
touggie2000 You do realize it’s because dc invested money into tearing these shitholes down right? White folks took dc back they dont give a shit about philly.
If you're proud to be in a violence neighborhood hold this L. How stupid that sound esp if u have kids. Get them outta there nd stop looking for your own people to do harm
Obey the traffic laws get off the phone get a full tank next time and tip lil dude and pedestrians have the right a way dont throw no stones on these neighborhoods when you are slacking
Jeronimo lol dc hoods aren’t that bad? U do know they got a higher murder rate than Chicago right? I wanna move to dc but honestly idk if it’s worth it, there’s no middle class there
If you look closely you can see they filled in alot of holes on those streets .. the city has been cleaning it up but this same area in the 80s was a different place compared to what your seeing here .. the late 2010s everything started changing everywhere up north if you ask me the entire Dmv felt the change
Marco Anaya why ? you shouldn't be afraid to be around your own people..I never understood why black people be scared to be around their own people..if something is meant to happen to you it's gonna happen 1 way or another..whether it be you going into the hood or you being around your way & somebody from another hood touching you..just my 2cents (if your not black then my bad disregard comment )
Yes Sir Mr Quincy. I appreciate your comment. I am bi-racial BTW. It was really meant to make a joke on D.C. I lived in D.C for about 1 1/2 years and really enjoyed it, I wanted to stay longer. I traveled all over. D. C., PG County, Virginia, and Baltimore. I had a girlfriend in Baltimore and I was there all the time. You are right, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. I will tell you true fact. My girlfriend, in Baltimore, who lived on Saratoga ST was more scared to spend the night in a quiet country home, then in the Hood in Baltimore. It is all what we know and what we are comfortable with. I grew up in West Philadelphia, not far from Mill Creek housing projects.
Marco Anaya I chilled on Saratoga (off of mlk blvd) a handful of times...stuff goes down there definitely...but why would she be scared to be in country just outta curiosity?
Her brother unfortunately got hooked on crack. They did not know what the little vials were until they showed them to me. He was a really nice guy to me. He eventually got help. She said it was too quiet, like eerie. She felt uncomfortable out of familar surroundings. Despite the thugs on the corner store waiting for the number to come out, the bums that used to hit on her and the random gunfire at night, it was home to her. You know good neighborhoods go down over time, it happens in the city.
East over is in Forest Heights PG county Maryland on the southern ave DC line, but its DC for real, that's where they shop and alot of crime there especially back in the day. Them Southside niggaz wasn't no joke.
