one more fun fact: As everybody from Hempstead and NYC is moving to ATL, A friend of mine said his son wore a "Hempstead,NY" t-shirt.

u gotta show how garden city (one of the wealthiest towns of Nassau County), changes into hempstead. Its gotta be one of the most drastic changes from mansions to hood in the USA. literally from one block to the next its fucking insane. Also checkout Roosevelt and Uniondale.
On its northern end Hempstead borders the very rich town of Garden City. There's no barrier like a river separating the two towns, just an ordinary street. The Garden City PD are notoriously tough about protecting their town.
Lmao that transition by the dealerships up there is wild. It's literally an intersection and bam, trees and beautiful houses. Same thing over by Kellenberg. You have the co-op buildings still in Hempstead but kind of nice and then bam luxury condos, huge houses, trees everywhere, etc.
fun fact: Ice Cube first solo album "America's most"was recorded at 510 S franklin st,Hempstead, as were Public Enemy, BDP founding member Scot La Rock funeral was in Hempstead. Rapper and posdcast star Nore use to hustle out here, Memph Bleek says "Take these keys to Hempstead", the heart of strong island.
Yo, this is bringing me back so many memories, i use to live on terrace ave wit my aunt and my cousins when i was younger, Hempstead was crazy man, especially in the 90s when i was coming up, sh** was wild son foreal. #StrongIsland
A cop that transferred from Hempstead told me it was a nice place prior to all the low-income housing that was put in place decades earlier by a mayor that thought it would be a good source of revenue, turned the place into chit!
@@jetwork131 The idea's been poking around for years, but AFAIK nothing's in progress. Just talk. I believe the idea came from East Paterson, New Jersey, which some years ago changed its name to Elmwood Park because the residents didn't like the association with Paterson.
Hempstead is not as bad as a lot of other places on LI but at night in the summer some crazy stuff can go down lol. Nassau County has been ranked one of the safest in the entire county but generally places like Hempstead or parts of Freeport are known as the "bad" areas. Also if you go into Suffolk County check out parts of Amityville, Wyandanch, and Huntington Station you can find some interesting areas over there.
@@drebsdxfferrent8867 It means that it will no longer be the "hood". It gets cleaned up inside out, it may push out many people who can't afford to live there anymore, attract those from improved backgrounds either financially, educationally, or professionally and crime rate goes down drastically.
Good stuff bro , you really be in there . A tour of Hempstead popped up into my mind randomly and then I see that you just posted a video on Hempstead . What are the odds.
Lived at Linden Knolls apartment building on 261 S.Franklin St until 2018. Now I’m in the south. Thank you for sharing this video. I sure do miss living back at home!

Thankyou bought so many memories I moved to GA with my Family in 08 but still claim Hempstead all day Hempstead Tigers keep Hempstead alive on point hands up
Hempstead was very dangerous back in the days even until late 2000s maybe 07 08, it's calm now, it's still hard knock life for 80% of the residents, Suffolk county hoods is busting guns frequently.
Looks ok to me. Clean streets, well maintained homes, I didn't see any graffiti . I saw only one vacant house which had fire damage. Almost every storefront was open with a working business. It's not Garden City but it looks like a working class neighborhood no different than most of Queens. Hempstead does have a relatively high crime rate .
Oh shit you’re on Long Island! head to Brentwood/CI my husband is from there and my father was a homicide detective there for 27 years. Bad neighborhoods! Go by the railroad tracks. Stay safe
Yes Hempstead rings bells in penitentiary cells. I go from From the Hills, MLK, Parkside to 100 Terrace to Midway and to the Heights.
