Just a Baltimorean driving around city streets... mostly Baltimore, but I get around to other cities too from time to time. Occasionally I'll offer my thoughts on some issues that seem relevant, sometimes I won't. Let me know what you'd like to see more of and I'll do my best to get it.
Baltimore's "No Shoot Zones"
The city of Baltimore has been plagued by persistent gun violence over the past 5 decades. Criminal reforms, community outreach programs and everything in between has been tried to fix it. One of the more unusual attempts was the "No Shoot Zones" initiative.

According to Black October the crimes were committed in order to stamp out the drug trade. Others felt the group was just an opportunistic criminal gang, hiding behind social issues and politics.

Roughest Streets in Chester Pennsylvania
Просмотров 2812 месяца назад
Once a major hub of industry, Chester PA has seen a major decline over the past 5 decades. More than half of the city's population has left, leaving behind an empty, somewhat surreal scene. There have been some glimmers of hope for the city in recent years but it is unlikely that the city will ever return to where it once was.

Camden New Jersey's Roughest Strip - "Broadway"
Просмотров 2602 месяца назад
Camden New Jersey was once considered one of the worst cities in America. Over the last decade, things have begun to turn around, but the city still faces a number of serious issues. Broadway is a major street that runs north and south not far from the waterfront. The area has had many demolitions but still has a high number of abandoned properties. Drug abuse is also very prevalent along this ...

Baltimore Streets - West North Avenue
So...explain to me why driving through Fort Armistead, located on the opposite side of the Patapsaco River, is a representation of Dundalk? Or why it is you chose to pick the worst areas, but failed to go to the areas where home prices sit in the upper 200k-400k. Merritt Blvd, Wise ave, etc. Don't believe the hype, no area is perfect, but BLATANTLY MISREPRESENTED areas will always look worse than they are.
Well tell us how you really feel…
Back when my blonde wife was 18 and we were dating, she took a wrong turn leaving the inner harbour and drove through a rougher paet of town, she was at a stop and a group of guys surrounded her car and were staring her down and shaking her vehicle for about 90 seconds ( but she said it felt more like 15 minutes) until a delivery truck chased them away. It gave her mental trauma for several months, I noticed she started watching more black sitcom shows and movies. I later knowing it was mildly helping her cope, I introduced her to interracial prn and BBC fetishes, she was hesatant at first but was drawn in, the trauma drove a deep desire out forward. When she was 21 she cheated on me with man of color that she met at a ladies night, she felt shameful about the one night stand, but I knew it was going to happen and I told her its not going to be the first time and we went out to a swinger club soon after and started introducing her to BBC Bulls. We are still married today and happy as ever.
I have a big concern about you doing these videos. Why don't you talk about the areas you drive through. Anyone can drive around with a dash cam
RUclips is an open platform… you’re free to make whatever type of video you want

Hate how this is just cut together, none of these roads are actually connected.
Thanks for watching!
Good work be safe out there. God bless you😮😮
Can you describe what you had to censor?
Guy was getting beat pretty bad by 5 or 6 people
@@thestreethistorian Yikes! I thought it was either that or a homeless person relieving themselves.
Try following the 4th of July parade route next time. You left out most of Dundalk. I know; I live here.
They Need It B More look crazy 😂😂
I think you should try again or rename it so people are better informed my friend
Interesting point of view
Barley touched Braddock like you felt more safe in north Braddock and closer to Braddockhills and yes there is a huge difference!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching Melvin!
My father was a landlord he owned a row home on Browning Street back in the 80s. I lived in the suburbs, but I used to have friends and played basketball with them. When I came out their. I knew it was a rough area, but I didn't care, I never had an issue. Browning st. is good people, I don't care what anyone says. Those memories are Golden.
Might want to contact the video game developers to fix that bug.
My biggest gripe with the baltimore peninsula project is that it's basically cut off from the rest of the city by I-95. It feels like they'll need to work on that to avoid it becoming just a little bubble.
Agreed! I walked over there the other day and was thinking the same…. At least for now it’s not an easy walk (or drive for that matter) to get over there. Hopefully they integrate it into the rest of south bmore a little more as it moves along
2:46 my grandfather owns seapride
Wow! No one is outside at all besides people in the cars.
I haven't been there since the early 80's, a lot has changed, looks like Squires moved into a much bigger building not far from the old building, I use to love their pizza as a kid.
All the dangerous peeps musta slept in that day
This is North braddock
n chapel street 1600 block
I just bought a house right around there to fix an flip. Theres still a lot of hope for that area with john hopkins and all those developments being less than .5 miles away. N broadway stretches right thru Broadway East and looks amazing with almost no boarded homes
He got arrested near my house in Baltimore County for spray painting the 7-11
most of the video was north braddock
No hard feelings 😊😊
My father was born in Chester in his family home which the entire block is now gone, turned into a lot. I used to play there in the summers of the 70s and very early 80s. We would stay at my uncles place (132 Hayes) and then go across 2nd to my aunts house. My father would tell stories how during the depression they would walk across the bridge to Jersey and get apples from the orchards and they would bathe in the hot water coming out of the steel mills in to the Delaware river. My favorite was getting up at 3am and my aunt and uncle would take me crabb'n on the Jersey shore all day. We'd come back around 9 or 10 pm and cook pots of blue crab and eat til 2 am with the whole family. Then we'd go visit my other uncle in West Chester for the 4th of July. Going to St. Hedwigs on Sunday and a big dinner that night. What I really miss were the hoagies. You can't get good hoagies where I live now. Damn shame what happened to what used to be one of the nicest places in Penn.
You really need more viewers . Awesome content . Maybe if you had more visual aids
Thanks, appreciate it! And I’ll definitely look into doing that! My video editing skills aren’t great so no guarantees, but I think you’re right that something like that would help!
Man I'm sitting here waiting to See a "Video", but what I see is the same Ole Moving road, lol
What song is that....that shit slap
Interesting.
Thanks for watching!
Br here!! 🇧🇷✌️😉
Thanks for watching!
So many spirits out their
Just seconds in and already you hear a dirtbike …yea that’s west side lol 😆
Wouldn't be summer in the west side without it!
What a dam shame.
Agreed!
It’s wonderful what Uncle Fester, aka Senator Fetterman, did for this community as Mayor. It’s a virtual Garden of Eden (by liberal standards).
It's gotten better in some areas. The rest is how I left it 13 years ago: dilapidated, devoid of hope.
Reservoir Hill is close to Bolton Hill, Hampden, and hop skip and jump away from Roland Park. I remember people had this attitude about Crown Heights in Brooklyn and all it took was for Jay Z to build that stadium and all of a sudden, anyone who settled there before 2008 got very very lucky.
Business is booming because that’s essentially a mixed use neighborhood now, which America makes pretty much impossible usually with our stupid zoning laws🙃
I want to make a tv show around a drug spot. Tons of potential and with streaming platforms plenty of options ti get it seen.
Looks exactly like saints row 2 streets now😂😢
these people used to work in breweries, which have been abandoned for a while
I grew up in Chester. We had fun as kids. We would ride the bus from West End to downtown n eat lunch at Leon's. We went all over n never had problems. The various schools had dances n there were block parties. The various churches would have bizzars. It was fun
my old neighborhood mid 60's, specially from 30th street and beyond , i see the old fire station right before 32nd everything else is unrecognizable til you get to 33rd st and see the historic boulevard movie,
And this is where Subaru of America, Inc. Park, home of the MSL's Philadelphia Union soccer team is located. And I'm from North Jersey (Passaic County, New Jersey). 🤦♂️
They worked very hard to build this magnificent structure!
homeless , mentallyillness , disabled , skinny bone poverty delusion souls on bottom society in ghost town ,pray pray pray pray bless
This got to be a early Sunday morning
SO SAD TO SEE CHESTER GO DOWN LIKE THIS!!!
I lived in early 2000's. I miss all that people and atmosphere of Camden, NJ.
Chester has no gangs
3rd Bone? William Penn? Goonies Gang?
Back in the day yes. Nowadays I'd say no. I live on Smithers Street behind the old Sacred Heart Hospital now it's Everest. I never seen any gang activity. When I used to live on Honan street in Highland Gardens back in 2000 I did. Smithers is also in Highland Gardens. It's quiet now. @@thestreethistorian
