Charlie, I just found your vids by chance a couple of days ago and I just want to thank you for doing this. If I look up "the hood" on RUclips, I see ridiculous race-baiting prank videos and never any true look at what the hood is really like. Your vids are raw and real footage of how the other half lives. Most of the time people are content to remain in a bubble and only see their reality, but again, I just want to thank you for giving everyone and anyone insight into someone else's world for a moment, albeit from a distance.
These videos make me appreciate living in Salt Lake City, UT so much more! I just can't imagine trying to raise a well adjusted child in that environment.
I grew up in Kensington and still have some scattered family living there. I watched that neighborhood go from old run down industrial working class to zombie wasteland. It really is a scary place now.
1:39 - where the first Rocky film could have been made! Coming from UK, I find these 'drive thrus' you do really interesting. I also like how you keep it real - just the natural ambience and no music or anything (which would ruin it imo).
I grew up here and West Philly and I was adopted and lived in levittown until I moved to upstate New York I miss the food and the Franklin institute and Pat's
Hi Charlie, im just wondering if you've been back here in Kensington recently as iv seen some videos of the place bc as u know I'm from Sydney n if u think it has gotten worse or a little better theses-day or basically hasn't changed Plz #Cheers mate.
I've thought the same thing, especially when he is filming some shady and/or illegal shit. At first I thought they would be mad but then I think about the youth today and how they would probably eat up being an online 'underground ghetto star.' These kids make Gods out of Instagramers and viral video stars.
I had a couple people contact me who did not like being on here. I blurred one of the persons face and the other I totally deleted the scene they were in, because it's not always possible to blur the face. One thing I notice is people love to watch ghetto fight videos, and those people are being filmed committing illegal acts without there consent and nobody complains about the person recording and putting it online. People are just standing walking or talking for the most part in my videos. The one video where the kids were stealing in the gas station I didn't even know they had done that till after I viewed it later. There are a couple other videos where criminal acts including stealing were committed and I didn't know till people who viewed it pointed it out to me because I don't have to look in the direction I'm recording. Somebody contacted me about that drug sale caught at the end of that Newark video and I blurred the guys face, don't know if that was him.
My dad moved from N Water st in the mid 1950's. In October of 2019, he wanted to go by the old row house. Worst neighborhood I've been in. Can you imagine 2 middle aged and 1 older white guy in a mini van waiting while the guy in the car in front of you finished dealing drugs with some guy on the street?
This video brought back memories. Loved it. K&A. Did you go through Fish Town too when you were in Philly? I'm glad you didn't disable the comments over a few assholes. 👍to you and your videos.
BuyTheTicket TakeTheRide I know I'm late, my bad, but it's just alot of the time it's whites talking down on blacks like this represents all black people which I don't agree with and I'm white. I've lived in Charleston and Hunnington West Virginia and Dayton Ohio I've seen the sad excuse for humans of all races lmao.
Damn you got some balls driving thru the trenches like that. I live in N Philly and I avoid that whole area at night it's been real crazy out in the Badlands
Demeñted~Miñdstate there's 2 subways in Philly and the Market Frankford line (the one in the video) is the only one. Above ground. The broad street line is below ground and runs through some pretty tough neighborhoods so who knows
gucher99 Its the opposite now. The neighborhoods near the EL is gentrifying fast. Homes that were 15k ten years ago are selling for over 300k now, especially in Kensington.
This shit is nothing to brag about. We did this same bragging shit with Camden in high school. This right here is disturbing. Just imagine yourself walking down those littered streets passing by junkies, avoiding heroin needles, piss/shit, and your head turning 360 degrees every few seconds just to see if you're being followed. It's scary.
I'm honestly here because of Rocky. I'm visiting Philadelphia this summer and wanted to go to Rocky's house, but I heard this neighborhood is dangerous? Is it bad in the day? (I AM from south side chicago, so I have seen my fair share of poor and broken down neighborhoods...just don't want to get shot or raped)
I have a friend who lived in Kensington and Allegheny (K&A) and he said it was pretty bad back when he was growing up in the '60's and getting worse... When the chance came to leave... He did and never looked back...
It’s crazy to think your car is more important then the house in which you lay your head. Like, there are more nice cars in the hood than any nice neighborhood I’ve ever been in. 🤷🏽♀️
Hi from Spain. I will visit the city in October, and of course I´d like to visit Rocky´s first house, but I have checked the address in Google Maps (1818 East Tusculum Street), and fuck... the place looks really really scary, even at day. Do you think is safe for a tourist go there and take some picture?
Hi CharlieBo! Love your vids man and I have couple of questions: What's the most scary situation you've been in while making these vids? And how do you hide your filming while inside shops etc? People never seem to realise that you are filming them. Cheers
It wasn't always like that, I lived on Tioga Street, went Ascension Church and school it was a beautiful neighborhood great neighbors. We moved in the 1970's, going back now seeing what happened its a shame.
My mom got her chain snatched down K&A (Kensington And Allegheny) back in around 2000 💀 I'm honestly scared to go down there and that's coming from somebody that's from Olney (not all that good either) 😂😂😂
If your moms is from Olney she shoulda known full well to tuck her chain and not carry a pocketbook down around here with this gang of dope fiends and smokers
This isn't my life it's just a hobby, i think racist people are cowards. I delete lots of racist comments, and block some from commenting, but I can't get them all. I thought about disabling comments but i think that takes away from the video.
I'll make it down there eventually. Hopefully this summer. There are lots of places I'm trying to go. South Florida, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Memphis, Baltimore, and several others
I don't think you should block anything. Attempting to block hate speech has done nothing to ease racial tension in parts of this country or improve conditions in the hoods you visit. These places aren't like they are because of hate speech. Crusading against racists and hate speech are red herrings used by certain people to avoid the real economic, social and cultural forces at play.
You should go to Huntington WV, east side. Shootings, OD's, and everything over there. Its known as "little detroit". Very bad area. 8th Ave to McVeigh and Hal Greer to 20th street are notorious (kind of a square area but pretty much a lot of that area from Hal Greer and east of it). Also, Marcum Terrace is the worst of the bunch. The city has a lot of serious problems. If you go, there is a Marathon gas station just a block or so from Cabell Huntington Hospital (on Hal Greer/Charleston Ave). It is held up all the time, and shootings are common. They have been trying to revive the area, but I don't think it will do any good. Video footage of that area would be good to show the public and your subs just how bad of a problem we have there. Anyway, I really enjoy the videos, and thank you for doing them.
ThunderForce just know the entire city refers to that particular section as the "bad lands" and thats inside a town where theres only like 3 zip codes in city limits you can fell safe in
I'm from Detroit and I heard a lot of shit about kensingston ave...there's a doc about a heroin addict who is not from philly out of no where stop by Kensington and has never left
Howlin Iverson yes they can its just the police doing a shitty job..in Detroit our chief James Craig use to do drug sweeps every month and trust me a lot of Detroit trappers were pissed asf they even threatened him because he was sweeping the drug market
Brandon Ellington Philly police have been doing something, the crime rate is down since I think 2012, but the drug market in Kensington is just crazy. Police won't even bother with a normal seller they're too concerned for the people who actually supply the stuff and run the whole thing going on.
Funny I see this everyday this time its calm its worst in the spring and summer days and nights I live down the street frankford ave and it fucked to but no people laying all over the sidewalks
Crazy, a bright ass yellow Corvette just chillin out in the hood. Looks like a test to me, I don’t trust it. Lol 😂 That car alone is worth more than that whole block! Lol
Just passed down here a couple weeks ago. I’m in the county now. But ain’t no where safe. I just got jumped today. Up in Collingdale where it’s supposed to be safe smh.
none of your damn business never been to dayton but Kensington they call the strip KNA is literally just hundreds of fiens some passed out on the floor some high an bent over can’t stand up straight others begging for money to go get high shxts a disaster I’m a whole nigga an I don’t even like going pass kna in the day or the night shxts depressing an it be black ppl but most of them be lil suburban white kids
Trendkiller they started doin that in the city now! Becuz they ain't want no more people to smoke!! And kids and all types of taxes and shit. So they just charged them jawns in the city. You have to go to the counties more outwards or the hood hood Papi store to get cheap jawns but if you close to the city they gone charge you
I was born in DC & raised in the DMV & I thought Baltimore & Southeast DC were the worst I’d seen but Philly? Especially North Philly ....it’s sad is what it is for real 😞
Used to cruise those same streets in 93. My girlfriend lived off of Kensington Ave and Tioga St. I was greeted with a bunch of guys with baseball bats just because they did not know my car. I guess now it's not as violent but it is full of junkies. What I hear is Dauphin St about a mile down is a no police zone where the cops don't even patrol anymore because it does no good.
I am familiar w this section. It is an area in flux as there is gentrification in progress. It was known for prostitutes and drugs, I don't know if it still is. Hope things get better for all the folks out there.
DOW JONES à 21598 pts NASDAQ à 3502 pts et taux de chômage officiel US : 4.7% (lol) très bientôt le taux de chômage va passer en négatif :/ Bienvenue dans la vrai vie, et un grand merci à toi Charlie de partager avec nous tes videos.
110 people died of overdoses this past Saturday night just in that night alone from dope in this area because of Fentanyl laced heroin. Something needs to be done about this Fentanyl. It doesn’t make sense why dope dealers would kill their customers there has to be something bigger at play here.
yeah except for all the hella nice cars parked on almost every street. i live in an upscale suburb in CA - a lot of those cars are the same as what i see around here - what the hell?
It is the neighborhood where the Rocky movies are filmed at... From here to about Girard. There is NO EL train running through South Philly as a matter of fact. I think they filmed in Kensington,Fishtown area along to Girard Ave for more of an affect. I actually seen them fuming the later ones, have I have lived in the area on and off for many years, the housing is cheap and I can no longer afford to live downtown as the New Yorkers have driven the prices up. Anyway, there's places in South Philly that are just as rough, but visually I think the Kensington area more effective for a movie. It's ashame but it's been like this since the eighties, even before but got worse I the nineties and has just keep getting worse with the epidemic... It's ashame too bc there are people with families living here and dealing with this everyday.
what i don't get is, even in the parts of this neighborhood where the houses and the people look shitty and poor, the streets are packed with parked cars that are middle class or higher. wtf? here in CA, all our ghettos have very few cars and the ones there are always old, beat up, up on blocks, etc. so, who do all these nice rides belong to? am i missing something?
What do you do for a living "deliveries" or "moving" cause every video sounds like you in a box truck and when I drove trucks I would chk out chi town and new York etc. Just never recorded it that was a great idea for ppl who never see this side of city life
Tbh im a native Philadelphian and I'll say this.. Yes kenzo got its drugs and prostitution etc but you can walk anywhere and not really have to worry about somebody robbing you.. That's just my opinion tho
Were you driving around trying to score some crack? Then you decided did to have the film rolling to show your beautiful neighborhood! This is not Philadelphia bud! Trying to keep Tourists away?
Dude your videos are addicting. Hope you realize how much we appreciate you taking these risks to show us the other side of America.

These videos make me appreciate living in Salt Lake City, UT so much more! I just can't imagine trying to raise a well adjusted child in that environment.

Yeah but you have to live in salt lake

4 SOME REASON THE SOUND OF THAT VEHICLE MAKE IT ALL COME TOGETHER
Skip bayless He's in a tank
Skip bayless : I agree. Sounds like it is going to rattle and fall apart.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
I love it
It's the tank-bus
I grew up in Kensington and still have some scattered family living there. I watched that neighborhood go from old run down industrial working class to zombie wasteland. It really is a scary place now.
Our family was from D and Clearfield .... Don't need to go back
I notice a theme in all poor neighborhoods. Seems having a nicer vehicle is more important than having a nice home. Priorities🤔
Guy with the Camaro
Now I see why the Fresh Prince move to Bel Air LOL
🤣🤣🤣
This neighborhood is nowhere near were will smith grew up. He is from a completely different section
He from West not Kensington
It was a joke, why so srs?
Will Smith was from Wynnefield . Nice neighborhood in West Philly.
Dang bro I honestly just watched like 50 videos! It's crazy to see what things are like, good filming man!
1:39 - where the first Rocky film could have been made!
Coming from UK, I find these 'drive thrus' you do really interesting.
I also like how you keep it real - just the natural ambience and no music or anything (which would ruin it imo).
Jidnak Harris
well I did say I am from UK so what do I really know
I also said 'could have' as the vibe of the area reminded me of the film.
Jidnak Harris
wow your channel is really interesting. I just pinged it and can't believe how much content and uploading you do. SUBSCRIBED!!
Jidnak Harris Rocky was Kensington dude.
Rocky was from Kensington sir
That is where Rocky was made, that bridge there is the one he crossed while running through the city to the art museum
I grew up here and West Philly and I was adopted and lived in levittown until I moved to upstate New York I miss the food and the Franklin institute and Pat's
where upstate ny?
C'mon Utica has great food tho
I live in Joshua Tree and I MISS THE FOOD THE MOST ! Jims steaks on south ...Terminis Bakery ...Reading terminal

I was lost one night very late, right where that elevated train track is... I ran EVERY red light for 15 blocks. Scary stuff man.
Hey Charlie, do you ever have people contact you that find themselves in your videos? Thank you for your time in making these, we all enjoy them
A couple of times.

Glad you liked it, if YOU wasn't happy about it I would have tried to remove it or blur your face though.
im not worried about my face being shown. i dont hide from anything. im glad you came
I see you putting out multiple videos a week. I hope this channel pays off well for you bro. Good luck with everything

none of your damn business Huntington WV was up there too for a minute but they're all really bad on that shit still
It’s a white ghetto. Mostly. Kind of changing
Thanks for doing these rides Charlie ! Take care and keep your head on a swivel !
Damn you got some balls driving thru the trenches like that. I live in N Philly and I avoid that whole area at night it's been real crazy out in the Badlands
I do it walking I'm not afraid to kill or die🔫😂💯✌🤘😎
*Has anyone ever noticed that in a lot of American cities, the trains running high above the ground, are almost always in the hoods??*
probably because it devalues property and makes it more affordable for poorer people
Since this area is meant for poor people the area has to be shitty.
Demeñted~Miñdstate there's 2 subways in Philly and the Market Frankford line (the one in the video) is the only one. Above ground. The broad street line is below ground and runs through some pretty tough neighborhoods so who knows
gucher99 Its the opposite now. The neighborhoods near the EL is gentrifying fast. Homes that were 15k ten years ago are selling for over 300k now, especially in Kensington.
Also FYI when the EL was built, that area was %100 white. Facts.
Kensington got everything you looking for welcome to Kiladelphia Pistolvania 215 all day!!

Do they have really good weed

What kind of camera is that bro?
Drove by my old house and my old place of work. Too bad I wasn't fortunate growing up.
I knew some guys in Delaware, practically bragging to me how ghetto and bad the inner city areas were. Wonder if you have driven through that area?
Cassandra Harris Wilmington,DE ? I think he has... that’s baby Philly
I have a friend who lived in Kensington and Allegheny (K&A) and he said it was pretty bad back when he was growing up in the '60's and getting worse...
When the chance came to leave... He did and never looked back...
Kensington at night is LITERALLY the walking dead that shxt is zombie land fr🧟♀️
How long will a wholesome Caucasian gentleman like me last in the hood?
probably no more than 2 weeks tops, if not 1 day without being robbed, stabbed, or shot
lol in kensington more like 2 hours

Very comfortable place to live with nice and friendly people from all walks of life, nothing like a soulless Fishtown.
Lot of nice cars along the street.
Great video. It sounds as if your shocks and/or struts need to be replaced.
charlie i think you should pik up fans and do a hood vid so whatever city your in fans from there can come
heesil77 hell no. This aint a hood city tour. Thats the problem though black people cant be trusted
Que Kennedy why not its a tourist attraction
Que Kennedy this is a white hood not black lol
heesil77 more Hispanic hood but I get your point
+heesil77 its mix you must not be from Philly
I use to be in that area selling bus passes
lol then what happened
He sold them and bought heroin
I am moving to Kensington after Christmas....i like that hood. Can anyone clean the place before I get there.
Holy Shit is that on the left a Mercedes Benz W203/S203 Station Wagon?
Didn't expect to see something like that in America!
What is a Corvette doing there?
Yo this area looks crazy, what an atmosphere. Reminds me of action/sci fi movies from the 80s-90s. Is this area dangerous?
ThunderForce yup look it up
ThunderForce just know the entire city refers to that particular section as the "bad lands" and thats inside a town where theres only like 3 zip codes in city limits you can fell safe in
Thanks for some of the info. Love the look of the area even though it's high crime and pretty rough overall. Amazing place to shoot films.
I'm from Detroit and I heard a lot of shit about kensingston ave...there's a doc about a heroin addict who is not from philly out of no where stop by Kensington and has never left
Brandon Ellington open air drug market. cops cant even knock it

Funny I see this everyday this time its calm its worst in the spring and summer days and nights I live down the street frankford ave and it fucked to but no people laying all over the sidewalks
Know this route well. Even worse walking in middle of night. Clean now.
That's good to hear. Did they just move to another area?
Congrats, i from South Philly , been around Kensington a lil bit its a rough place
Bryce Harper could buy everything in this video.
Crazy, a bright ass yellow Corvette just chillin out in the hood. Looks like a test to me, I don’t trust it. Lol 😂 That car alone is worth more than that whole block! Lol
Just passed down here a couple weeks ago. I’m in the county now. But ain’t no where safe. I just got jumped today. Up in Collingdale where it’s supposed to be safe smh.
I only been robbed twice in Kensington. Not a bad ratio considering I was there every day. Been robbed more in Camden.
Trying to cop? Or just walking around
Heroin heaven
none of your damn business it is
none of your damn business never been to dayton but Kensington they call the strip KNA is literally just hundreds of fiens some passed out on the floor some high an bent over can’t stand up straight others begging for money to go get high shxts a disaster I’m a whole nigga an I don’t even like going pass kna in the day or the night shxts depressing an it be black ppl but most of them be lil suburban white kids
Kensington....they say once u enter u can never escape it.
This neighborhood doesn’t look that bad--lots of compact cars, stores, homes--night makes it look desolate but this is nowhere near bottom
Heroin heroin heroin............
You mean fentanyl
2:22 $9.80 for a pack of Kools? Jesus!!! I'd hate to see how much Newports are!
I thought prices in my state were high. (MI)

Chrispy About the same here.
Trendkiller they started doin that in the city now! Becuz they ain't want no more people to smoke!! And kids and all types of taxes and shit. So they just charged them jawns in the city. You have to go to the counties more outwards or the hood hood Papi store to get cheap jawns but if you close to the city they gone charge you
East coast prices are high cause of the city tax In Delaware not to far from Philadelphia you can get cartons for six dollars if you got a coupon
10.50 box 100
This is a dark and depressing city.

Used to cruise those same streets in 93. My girlfriend lived off of Kensington Ave and Tioga St. I was greeted with a bunch of guys with baseball bats just because they did not know my car. I guess now it's not as violent but it is full of junkies. What I hear is Dauphin St about a mile down is a no police zone where the cops don't even patrol anymore because it does no good.
Thanks to you i can see places I've never been to that id never have a chance to see.
just look at all of the brotherly love to go around....

I was thinking should I go down there tonight, I don't feel like it is
I am familiar w this section. It is an area in flux as there is gentrification in progress. It was known for prostitutes and drugs, I don't know if it still is. Hope things get better for all the folks out there.
Mike MakesRight gentrification not on this side the gentrified side more towards the southeast side of Kensington like round Memphis n Diamond
Awesome videos. But, damn sounds like you riding round in a van filled with fidget spinners.
Do you think he should drive a BMW through that area?
I like the roll down bulletproof doors-give a classy look to the hood.
It's gotten worst down there, this is the tip of the iceberg.
DOW JONES à 21598 pts NASDAQ à 3502 pts et taux de chômage officiel US : 4.7% (lol)
très bientôt le taux de chômage va passer en négatif :/
Bienvenue dans la vrai vie, et un grand merci à toi Charlie de partager avec nous tes videos.
110 people died of overdoses this past Saturday night just in that night alone from dope in this area because of Fentanyl laced heroin. Something needs to be done about this Fentanyl. It doesn’t make sense why dope dealers would kill their customers there has to be something bigger at play here.
This looks like the same neighborhood that was in the Rocky movies.
King Midway ATN It is 😊
yeah except for all the hella nice cars parked on almost every street. i live in an upscale suburb in CA - a lot of those cars are the same as what i see around here - what the hell?
It is the neighborhood where the Rocky movies are filmed at... From here to about Girard. There is NO EL train running through South Philly as a matter of fact. I think they filmed in Kensington,Fishtown area along to Girard Ave for more of an affect. I actually seen them fuming the later ones, have I have lived in the area on and off for many years, the housing is cheap and I can no longer afford to live downtown as the New Yorkers have driven the prices up. Anyway, there's places in South Philly that are just as rough, but visually I think the Kensington area more effective for a movie. It's ashame but it's been like this since the eighties, even before but got worse I the nineties and has just keep getting worse with the epidemic... It's ashame too bc there are people with families living here and dealing with this everyday.
what i don't get is, even in the parts of this neighborhood where the houses and the people look shitty and poor, the streets are packed with parked cars that are middle class or higher. wtf? here in CA, all our ghettos have very few cars and the ones there are always old, beat up, up on blocks, etc. so, who do all these nice rides belong to? am i missing something?
I walk these blocks going to school everyday #mastbaum zombie land
I went to conwell in middle school always went straight home after school
What do you do for a living "deliveries" or "moving" cause every video sounds like you in a box truck and when I drove trucks I would chk out chi town and new York etc. Just never recorded it that was a great idea for ppl who never see this side of city life
Why did you cut the cam on ormes and somerset
would you ever do a westcoast tour?
Did you know Kensington is also a god-gifted rock band from Europe?
Jash D who cares
what are you driving?
How many “Hoods” did this guy visit/reside in ????
This is my view, driving Lyft at night.
If ur in Philly go to the Northeastside by Philadelphia Mills
Jidnak Harris 😂😂😂. Low key yeah
Also, check out Chestnut Hill in NW Philly. You will find interesting creatures dressed in pastel-colored shorts.
Northeast philly is the least worst part
Charlie you know philly go down kensington ave past Somerset st and show the badd lands at night and keep your door locked!!
Tbh im a native Philadelphian and I'll say this.. Yes kenzo got its drugs and prostitution etc but you can walk anywhere and not really have to worry about somebody robbing you.. That's just my opinion tho
Were you driving around trying to score some crack? Then you decided did to have the film rolling to show your beautiful neighborhood! This is not Philadelphia bud! Trying to keep Tourists away?
That is philly . your an asshole tony
Is this the Market /Frankfurt line I see here?
Yes
Do you remember what night? Sunday? Tuesday?
damn the only reason i'd drive down kensington is if you wanna buy heroin, you're a brave man
There are still some dick suckers out there too.
Man sure looks nasty there
Clearly the Rollshutter Service Technicians must be busy.
We use to live close by here back in the mid 60's. Damn this place looks like a dump now...How lazy ass people won't take care of their neighborhoods.
