I'm from Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. Really enjoy with your stuff, Charlie. Maybe it's help me a little bit to research about the America's life through your trips. Thanks man.
You can't imagine how they're magical to us europeans. We've been bred on american television series and hollywood movies, so those urban sprawls are strangely familiar to us. But seeing their real version, as we're (well, the POV) driving through them, is something else. Also, since the USA are the continuation of european development, it's a bit like earthers watching martian colonists showing videos of their surroundings
@@VictorNickel Thank God for public television and indy film - gives us Americans a taste of what life is like outside the US of A. It's a big wide world out there and we know so little about each other. On the other hand, it's hard to get to know each other when countries are embroiled in their individual problems and tragedies.

I had family that used to live in Yonkers. It has a different vibe than any other place I been to. People are oddballs though but they good souls . It’s like they live in their own little world. I’m from Queens
This cute girl I've been hanging around lately lives in Yonkers. Im not gonna lie, it gets depressing every time I drive around there. It's not dangerous, it just doesn't seem like there's really anything to do there. Idk why I only get that feeling with Yonkers
Does it make you go.... Bonkers? I mean when you're in Yonkers... So boring it makes you go Bonkers.... Yonkers... And I second the opinion that Saginaw, MI is even more depressing; it's also pretty dangerous to boot.
Been living here 20 years and back in 2000 when I moved here it was rough when the projects Mulford Gardens was still here. The streets were flooded and they had a lot of local clubs open . The gas station by Whitney Young and the lot across the street was hang out spots and car shows . The Lox would be outside often. DM etc. Fast forward 20 years and a lot of businesses have closed and Ashburton Ave is not as fun down as it was. The stores close earlier and there is not much to do. The only area that they are building up is by the waterfront . They still don’t have a Starbucks there so gentrification hasn’t fully hit yet .Getty Square needs to be rebuilt with a shopping area like Yankee stadium has and it will bring more jobs and uplift the city . Crime is down for sure but they need to build new developments and get rid of some of the old run down houses and empty businesses.
The only reason Yonkers is considered ghetto is cause its one of the only non-rich areas of Westchester. If Yonkers was apart of the bronx it highkey would be considered a nice area
There is non rich areas on several cities and towns in Westchester its misconception Everyone from Westchester is well off. New Rochelle , Ossing, White Plains, Mt Vernon all have hoods
SFG.Agapito13 well luckily for me I don’t talk what I don’t know ! I live in Cottage Gardens . Both of my parents are from old Mulford projects which is now torn down .... So I think I know a lot about Yonkers aka MY CITY ....try again 😊🗣
The name Yonkers comes from an old Dutch word that means 'Young Gentleman". Here's a clip from an old Twilight Zone Show. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uqDkxtIUGIg.html
Yonkers has changed dramatically in recent years. It’s not a dangerous city. The crime and homeless rate has dropped significantly in recent years. It’s the second safest city in the nation for its size
Hi Charlie. Sure have missed these rides so its great to see you again.Hope you had a nice Christmas and new years eve. Hope its all good beginning in the New year xx Love youre videos ,THANK YOU Charlie X God bless.
Considered moving to YO (home of the LOX) , once I realized that there isn't any apartment in the Burroughs that I can afford. Then I looked up Yonkers rentals, and they were nearly the same price!
8:33 Schlobohm and Walsh Road lower income senior apartments where my grandparents lived. I’d sometimes have to stay over night at those Walsh Road apartments when my grandparents watched me if I couldn’t stay at my other grandparents who lived in east Yonkers near Roosevelt High School. Place was okay, but had a weird vibe. Born and raised in Yonkers until I was 10 in 1973. Glad I left, but I do find your videos interesting and a bit of a walk down memory lane. Yonkers has a lot of the same old house and apartments, but looks so run down, especially the downtown area.
Not too far from me. Same county. Used to work EMS in Yonkers. It gets pretty wild down in that area and up in the “tree streets.” (A large section of Streets named after trees)
Thanks and greetings from Finland, we don have places like this ..We only got reindeers and polar bears on the streets and peeps drinkin vodka from a cuckoo- clocks while playin heavy- metal :D
I apologize for getting on you last time. I shudda known there was a part two. Still ya didn't go into the Bomb or School Street Projects. They got a guard there now? Good on you for Hawthorne Ave, the rear of the Riverdale Ave. project. I grew up on Hawthorne Ave. It was not a hood then.
Pawel Olszewski For a city of roughly 200,000 population, that is pretty impressive. Rochester is the total opposite, it is one of the most dangerous cities for its size.
You should do a vid called "Hoods in Places Where You Don't Think There Are Hoods." For example, I was on vacation on Maui and found myself in a very spooky hood. On Maui! Hoods in places that we normally think of as beautiful.
Wow.. What an odd city. I don't know how to describe it. One thing I do notice is the traffic and parking is a nightmare. Seems like a cool place to visit for a weekend
Yonkers got their hoods spots like anywhere else but for the most part, Yonkers got a lot of real nice neighborhoods. Got a lot of family from South Btoadway.

I'm late to this video, but can I get some advice from the people who live in Yonkers? I've done research, and wondering if its actually one of the safest places on earth, and if it's worth living there, thanks.
@eirjrjej Haha. They have huge bday celebrations on a Tuesday. Or depressed over a break up on Thursdays and play sad Spanish love songs. Mind you I'm Hispanic . But dang I dont want to hear all that for 10 hours loud speaker out the window in any given day
If u think “y-yo” is hard, chew on this: yonkers only had 1 murder in 2018 while rochester had 29. Yonkers is a nice comnunity, dont make it what its not💯 Uplift!!
Damn, I've been outta Y.O for 10yrs now, i can't believe YK games land is still in Getty SQ aka GHETTO SQ LOL. I miss it. So thank you very much for sending me back down memory lane with my hometown👍👍👍
Love it,I fucking live Yonkers,I grew up here ,I'm 43yrs old,tried to leave a few times but always missed it to much and came back ,yo if you born and raised in y.o.,it's very hard to leave no matter how much of the bullshit you hate,it's all the newer generations that are fucking it up
@♡Jade ♡ thanks I asked cause I wanna move there somewhere that's not part of the 5 boroughs ..based on the looks yonkers looks tough coming from queens I don't want to be in that type of environment again so is it grimy there or safe for the most part .
Cities/hoods I'd like to see more of: -Oakland -Milwaukee -Buffalo -Cincinnati -Brooklyn/NYC -San Francisco -New Orleans -Pittsburgh -Boston -Memphis -Seattle
You need to do a tour of Americas Indian reservations (SD and ND). They are really no different than modern plantations established in the intercity that are managed by liberal policies to keep every one looked down
Chris Mayer Wasn’t Bill Clinton who started the Trail of Tears? Maybe it was Obama. They should just get off the plantation and integrate like the Monocan in Virginia, huh? /s
@@jonesbunnynot worth the hassle, besides the lack of music adds to the mood. You really want some corny ass music playing in the background. Get outta here punk kid
