CharlieBo313 i know you didn’t come to the south and not visit the Mobile/ Prichard area ! 😡I didn’t know you were coming down this way !!! Mardi Gras time, too. Everyone was out. Love the 334 as well. Graduated from Alabama State. I see you in the Northside!!!
CharlieBo313 having lived in Montgomery AL from 1995-2012, some of these neighborhoods I recognized especially that last one at the Z-Mart, that was about 3 blocks from where I was living when I lived in Montgomery Though, I'm surprised that you didn't go through Chisholm or Smiley Court or even Gibb's Village, areas that I wouldn't go through during the daytime,let alone at night
I know a lot of people make racially insensitive comments on this site about what they think about the people who live in places like this but I've met some of the nicest, kind-hearted people who came from the most poverty stricken, economic deprived communities. Most instances, they just trying to survive and raise their kids the best they know how. Think about it. A middle class kid from an affluent neighborhood in Florida walked into a school and brutally murdered 17 people so don't think only people from the hood do bad things.
I live in what's considered the hood too and it's interesting you rarely hear or people's homes being robbed. The middle-class neighborhoods though.. One of my cousins lived in a middle-class neighborhood in Fort Worth. She was in her home in broad daylight when the neighbor's son broke into her house. She had a gun and military training, but she has a hard time being alone now.
The slow death of once the greatest industrial powerhouse in the world, this is what happens when you don't manufacture your own goods & let other countries pay you peanuts to manufacture for them
whirling dervish yep, watching it happen in PGH for the past 30 yrs, everyone thought tech would save them, instead it put them out of work, unless you work a service job, hospital, or education jobs are tight here. Funny, this was once the "steel city" now there is one plant in the entire metro area & it's not 1/2 of what it was at it's peak
Archie Roku no, this is because america rebuilt it's enemies AFTER ww2, if we would have left them & germany on thier own we wouldn't have companies like alcor mittal, benz, nissan & nippon buying plants from us steel & & building factories here, we won the war, but lost the peace. Btw check it out, all the companies i named have plants in this area, & they pay nothing near what us steel did or the big 3 in detroit
Drugs are bad. Maintenance is hard work. You could blame their living conditions on racism. But, that would also suggest that white people went down there just to litter.
Sorry to reply so late but Montgomery is really divided as to how the different areas look you cross a certain road and it looks like you are in a whole new city.It really just depends.
@Authur Outlaw Civil Rights Activists history is a big part of Montgomery's culture. I see tourists of different races that come for that. I've been here 4 years and still haven't been, but I do want to go this year.
Sadly, things have gotten worse in Montgomery. People dying almost every day, unnecessary arguments that leads to fights, children raised to be hateful thugs. I truly hope one day things will get better for my city. Regardless of so much negativity this city is giving off from mainly the black community, there are genuinely good hearted still around, as well as some surprisingly beautiful places to visit.

There are so many buildings that could house the homeless. But cities like New York City spend thousands just for pricy hotel rooms. And a billion a year.
Alabama has a really big number of homeless people. Look living under the bridges and wooded area's around the town's. The organizations that get fed grants and millions of donated fund's do Not go where it's supposed to at all. Pitiful really.

thanks for the upload, Charlie... the first part of the video hit me the hardest, the suburban scene with the near dead shopping centers, empty parking lots.... and the sterile, cookie cutter housing.... the older neighborhood still had some charm and a sense of place....

Everything else follows suit. I wish them well this Christmas which is about all I can do....

You may live in a "low income" or "middle class" community but a lot can be said about keeping your yard clean, house painted, and car parked in the driveway.
Thank you for these videos. As a Canadian these are my trips to the south which I used to do every year until you know who came in to the office. Hurry up and get him out so I can go back. I feel so at home down here. Blessing to you all, oops sorry, ya'll.
Damn, I live in Montgomery. Most of this video is around the street from me. I live in a neighborhood that contains different cultures, including white. Just because some of the Gump looks like this doesn't mean all of it does.
I agree, he missed the "Worst" hoods by a long shot. Need to take him down by Trenholm, Westgate, South Rosa Parks, Northgate, Upper Wetumpka, to Eastdale Mall.
depends where you go. mostly decent. in fact one of the places in this video with the gas station actually isn't *that* bad. I go there sometimes just passing through. the neighborhood around it *can* be bad but it's not a big deal really although I wouldn't wander around at dark.
I live in dis part of time. It always look dead over here I like when it’s dark 1:14 I had lots of memory at da stoe I live in the worst part I use to live a few street down by da stoe by south court street
Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the 🚪 door, knock: if any man 👂 hear my voice, and open the door, I will come i to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
I live 30 minutes North of Birmingham, and work in Tarrant. It is depressing to see this type of life. Before you start judging, walk a mile in some of these people's shoes. It's hard when everything is closed down, run down, and the leaders don't have the people's best interest at heart. Help those that are in need when you can, shake a strangers hand, tell a stranger good morning, etc. We've got to help each other, it all starts with love.
Chad Hyde Well, help will come to those that want to help themselves. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. As soon as we black people take the time to research the democrats are the ones who have their foot on our necks to keep us down, and vote them out, then the change that we were looking for to come, will come.
8:03 Holt Street. No joke, that street is named for my family. My many-greats grandfather, Dr. Samuel Doak Holt was the first mayor of Montgomery. That's a very old street. Both Holt and Hall Streets are from my family, many, many generations ago.
This is a product of people in Alabama not coming out to vote in midterm elections. These hoods used to be thriving communities in the 80's to early 90's. I'm from Montgomery, had to leave in 2004, because they couldn't support my Autistic child. Never ever want to come back to live.
The south side, north side , and west side, all have rough sections in Montgomery. All sides, including the east side also have some very decent neighborhoods as well though. If you’re gonna play some rap in the video showing Montgomery...at least play some local artists. Dezamn!
This is what happens to cities when they refuse to adapt in the age of Globalization. Montgomery prospered when economic forces were driven by industrialization and demand for regional labor was strong. Now, technological advances (i.e., automation) and international labor surplus are putting strains on cities that continue to use the post-WWII economic model. For instance, after the 2nd WW ended Europe's industrial base was destroyed. The Europeans financed rebuilding their infrastructure on U.S. industry; and this continued from 1950 thru mid to late 80s. Meanwhile, countries like the U.S. moved away from industrialization and became a knowledge-based innovative economy. In other words, the jobs that are in demand now require using one's brain rather than one's hands - professional jobs that require license or certification; jobs that are heavily serviced based in which one uses reason and judgment; and jobs that require planning and implementing processes and procedures. Cities like this have failed their citizens because they did not prepare them for 21-century jobs. And until they do these cities will continue to decay, while waiting for jobs that have long gone and won't come back.
Razor Lite let me reply to you from a different perspective when you debase your manufacturing and send it all to china India and other low wage countries that work for under a $1.00 and bring the goods back here and sell them for the same price as if it was made in the United States you put many many Americans out of work and thus they do not have the money to pay their bill and up keep yet the pair of pants thats made for .75 cent and sells for $60.00 Levi jeans for instance, were are you going to get the money to pay for such item when you do not have a job. Keep American Jobs in America then we could have the money for the up keep of our homes etc, but this globilization bull shit only benefits the rich and the working class just goes to hell. All just one big lie even Trump talks about making America great but get his products manufactured across the ocean in one of them slave labor countries Nike makes a pair of sneakers for under $1.00 in cost bring them back to U.S. and sell for 800.00 a pair for Mike Jordons so who is winning Jordon and Nike.
Razor Lite I am a die maker which at one time was higher paid labor. Dies are now made using computers along with lasers & rule processors. They aren't made by men anymore but machines do a better job & hold accuracy to the 1,000 of an inch & they are faster because they don't take breaks. I'm glad I did it in their heyday but those days are gone now. Never even dreamed they could have machines do it. Die making is now a lost art & never coming back. I was stubborn to the very end & feel sorry for the guys that have 15 or 20 years learning that trade only to become unemployed & to young to retire & to old to retrain. Don't worry about it they are even working on replacing Truck drivers. I'm retired & now 73 years old glad I'm not 45 or 50 I would have to go back to school to learn to program computers using cad cam. Although years ago I did go to school & learned what I had to know but never had to work as a programmer. Still made them by hand until about 2016 when I stopped. Lol. Got out before they told me that I was a dinosaur & wasn't needed or wanted. I enjoyed making cutting dies my whole life
Living in denver and looking at some of the neighborhoods there all i can see is potential i would love to live there. You have to take some kind of initiative to make it look better love the style of the homes there im sure there is plenty opportunity for small businesses i see it in the pics all over wow
No matter where you are in America or in the world, it's sad to see all the blight and struggle. It's not just in one place, it's in every city and state. If people really want to bring about a change for the better, bring it! It doesn't matter where you start. Just start somewhere! No matter how insignificant you might think your efforts would be. It all helps. It's not a job for just a few. It's a job for everyone! Do your part. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
Im from the gump.i use to stay on happiness in Ridgecrest. My unc use to stay right on S.Court St. The last road you was on. Cool vid. But seem like this a early morning vid. Making the gump look abandoned
Westside representin ...Day Street, Hill street, Western Hills. But yeah, we got some neighborhoods that are still holding strong and we got too many neighborhoods that are just stagnant. But there are some very complex reasons why that is so a in we bare a lot of our own responsibility as to why some of this stuff has happened. Kudos to the people who still living the Gump and who are trying to revitalize the areas for everybody and not just a select few
not really, depends on which part of north. northwest isn't, a few parts northeast are. most of north is kinda bad too, although it's also relatively empty
There is no reason for any able body person to live like this...I just saw my hood on here and I love my hood but I got up off my ass and got up outta there and I ain't been to nobody college... If u don't want better for yourself u should at least want better for your kids u can't blame this one on the white folks of u stuck here that's all on u Gee... Facts
Start a go fund me page so it will pay for his bills, gas and maintenance on his vehicle and if you live close to any of those cities you can upload a video yourself.
I’m from Montgomery Alabama I live in Atlanta now but to be honest the only side of the city that looks like that are the south and west side minority’s live in those area predominantly black but when you go out north and east it gets better
Hey man, this is a very good video. cause I searched so long for videos like this. Not specially Alabama, I was looking for a Video, where showing some 'normal areas'. So far, I just saw Videos from some big cities.
I don't understand why do you call these places "hoods", they all seem to have private houses. Is it mainly because of the violence? i am used to consider hood only public housing, which is pretty popular in europe.
Charlie, you should have seen the Toys R Us in Montgomery... the outside is a time capsule. A few miles south was home to RUclips sensation Sammy Stephens who made Flea Market Montgomery famous!
Well, thanks for the travelogue, but I could have got the same thing from Google. Some facts, some stats, comments on research of crimes or something that make these bad neighborhoods would decrease the bore quantity. So, boarded up strip malls; don't know of any cities that don't have some. Some random trash on grounds of the projects, but I've seen much worse projects. These looked clean and in good repair. Most of the houses you randomly drove by were older, but with neat yards and seemingly well maintained. Yes, a few had boarded windows, but they didn't appear to be crack houses. Some were unsightly, with peeling paint and so on, but having your house painted is expensive and if the occupants are elderly or disabled doing it themselves is not an option. One great thing about the older neighborhoods is the size of the lots! What nice big yards. Without some facts and documentation I don't see these as necessarily bad areas.
John Aguila Have you even been to another county? Obviously not if you think this looks like some parts of Africa or Haiti. A lot of those people live in mud huts.
John Eagle The places Trump called shithole look worse than this by 100 fold. You don't know what poverty is until you go to a country where the median income is $400.00 not per week or month but per year where you try to feed a family of 4 or 5 or more people one 1dollar per day. Only then will you understand what true poverty is. That's why so many of them try to come to America where minimum wage is a fortune to them & they almost all are willing to work very hard for that fortune (fortune to them) peanuts to us. My uncle that fought in the Philippines during WW2 told me that it was nothing to see babies floating dead in the streams of water because they couldn't afford another kid & life is cheap there
Gul Dukat Countries where life is cheap & mothers toss newborns into rivers because it's another mouth to feed & they don't ever get enough to eat as it is. Can't possibly feed one more so they dispose of them the only way they know how. I noticed lots of cars & some places you are rich if you can afford a bicycle where walking is the major transportation for them. This is why so many try for the jackpot getting into America. I am not suggesting in any way that we should welcome them. What I am trying to say is this is what libturd want for America, for us to become just like those places. Yet another reason I can't force myself to vote for a libturd left wing dumbocrap. I don't see this happening to America. And after that P.O.S. Obama showed them what his & libturd vision for America they are so stupid they still vote these tires into office. Sad but true they have to have IQ"s of room temperature
Charlie, a different kind of low income neighborhood, a different flavor of poverty here, when compared to that seen in your Detroit clips. There, widespread economic downturn has resulted in large swaths of uninhabitable streets. But here, despite the lack of resources to upgrade and remodel, there seems to be enough revenue for fundamental upkeep, and in the case of the house at 12:10, some pretty creative landscaping. Also, a real estate sign at 13:31 is always a good sign, along with the abundance of fenced properties, if not for security, but perhaps as a psychological delineation in an attempt to control what enters and exits the property. This looks like a low income, but stable, neighborhood.
Nem tudo é glória... Muito bom ver o outro lado dos EUA, o que ratifica que a pobreza é um mal que assola todo o globo, inclusive as superpotências econômicas.
It’s called deterioration slowly year by year. and about not careing paint and mow the yard is cheap.Where is the city representative? Where is the money going? Has to be corruption. They have hundred of million in the city fund and federal.
Brandi Renee My family is from New Orleans. A Ghetto is all the same and I've been to Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Antonio, Jackson, Birmingham, Montgomery, California. This shit is nothing to brag about. It's a sickness. We have to do better as a people. No jobs or economic power is coming to the hood as long as we have gangs, drugs and prostitutes. What business in their right mind would build around robbing and killing. (My family lived off Franklin.) My brother used to coach at Holy Cross and St. AUG. My sister in law graduated from St. Marys. When, I was young and dumb, we went to Calliope and Magnolia to visit his friends.
Born on Maxwell AFB. Lived in Chisholm. Robert E. Lee H.S. Worked for Montgomery Advertiser. Moved to Atlanta in ‘74. Worked for AJC. $105 a week more and the rent was cheaper.

"Ridgecrest" mainly
Hey i'm born and raised in the Nation Capital Washington D.C. But RIP to my Grandpa he was from Montgomery Alabama I still have family down there 💪💯
I still have family there too. That's where I'm from.
Coming from a Dude From Montgomery Al, This is Indeed Accurate, Especially Gibbs Village, you pinned the nail on the donkey with this one
Tail NOT nail. 😄
damn u from gibb village i got lots of people there u know somewhere named Cleaven coat
You may live in a "low income" or "middle class" community but a lot can be said about keeping your yard clean, house painted, and car parked in the driveway.
They playing Project Pat at the end lol gotta rep the whole south lol
Melanin Micai damn right
Thank you for these videos. As a Canadian these are my trips to the south which I used to do every year until you know who came in to the office. Hurry up and get him out so I can go back. I feel so at home down here. Blessing to you all, oops sorry, ya'll.
All the stores look they they left for lunch and just never came back...
🤣🤣😭😣
@@ohsomarvalus4712 Nice profile pic. The hair...🥰
I’m from here and on the side of town he’s ok they definitely took that 20 year lunch break
Damn. You got that right
Damn, I live in Montgomery. Most of this video is around the street from me. I live in a neighborhood that contains different cultures, including white. Just because some of the Gump looks like this doesn't mean all of it does.
Same here I see Gibbs Village and lived at Highland Village
I agree, he missed the "Worst" hoods by a long shot. Need to take him down by Trenholm, Westgate, South Rosa Parks, Northgate, Upper Wetumpka, to Eastdale Mall.
I live off Holt st
@@ki4csq Exactly!!!!
Is Azalea Drive in this video?
Damn Charlie I see you made to my city did you pass Asu down the way fam?💪
I probably did, I passed several colleges.
there's ASU, AUM, TSUM, and Huntington. The others are trade schools.
malik ELI hey Malik, I’m a Miami boy so I don’t know Alabama but how bad is it out there?
depends where you go. mostly decent. in fact one of the places in this video with the gas station actually isn't *that* bad. I go there sometimes just passing through. the neighborhood around it *can* be bad but it's not a big deal really although I wouldn't wander around at dark.
Ben Mason I appreciate it Ben! In Miami It’s sort of the same. Just in places like carol city, opa locka, and liberty city at night should be avoided.
What’s the property value like out there?
If you can you should checkout Jacksonville, Florida then Macon, Georgia
Lewis Duran 2nd that LD. Macoons getting bad !
The most sad was NO children playing.
Looks cold and like it just rained.
Maybe that’s why? 🤪
Mansur Zaman that’s exactly what happen man if you don’t shut your dumass up
Mansur Zaman pshh bitch please
Mansur Zaman what nigga
Mansur Zaman nigga please
Sounds like you're driving a 'rust bucket' around
Those projects are the start are GONE TODAY
Nice vid as usual! I wonder what this man's doin' at 14:00... invites travelers to taste fresh ribs at K&J or smth???
Терентий Тетерев he’s probably a crackhead or a meth head issa real problem down here
That scared the shit out of me.

Thank you CB for your time and patience to produce this video of our capital city.
I live 30 minutes North of Birmingham, and work in Tarrant. It is depressing to see this type of life. Before you start judging, walk a mile in some of these people's shoes. It's hard when everything is closed down, run down, and the leaders don't have the people's best interest at heart. Help those that are in need when you can, shake a strangers hand, tell a stranger good morning, etc. We've got to help each other, it all starts with love.
Chad Hyde well said!!! absolutely right
Chad Hyde Well, help will come to those that want to help themselves. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. As soon as we black people take the time to research the democrats are the ones who have their foot on our necks to keep us down, and vote them out, then the change that we were looking for to come, will come.
I see you came to Ridgecrest
S dot Slim Bro was eldorado red running shit down there years ago?
Ri
Ridgecrest all day
And he picked the worse streets to ride down
💝
You made it Montgomery. Salute to CharlieBo313!
Why did you film so early in tge morning? I live in down town but I know for a fact this was early morning.
This was mid afternoon. I'm not even up early.
It's so dead for a mid afternoon. I'm from SF California
❤❤💗
welcome to the gump
8:03 Holt Street. No joke, that street is named for my family. My many-greats grandfather, Dr. Samuel Doak Holt was the first mayor of Montgomery. That's a very old street. Both Holt and Hall Streets are from my family, many, many generations ago.
you needed to go to Birmingham Alabama
Alex Ray.
Lmao I used to live there !
Just in case you didn't know, they have a video up on Birmingham
Tarrant and Center Point is pretty ghetto. Huntsville too. Forgot about East Lake. Very scary
The Raging Reject Huntsville is not bad and no where near Birmingham .. a whole hour and a half away
North Bham, yeah. Anywhere south though and the actual city is gentrified already.
This is a product of people in Alabama not coming out to vote in midterm elections. These hoods used to be thriving communities in the 80's to early 90's. I'm from Montgomery, had to leave in 2004, because they couldn't support my Autistic child. Never ever want to come back to live.
SEC FAN I left in 1995. That was the best thing that ever happened to me.
The south side, north side , and west side, all have rough sections in Montgomery. All sides, including the east side also have some very decent neighborhoods as well though. If you’re gonna play some rap in the video showing Montgomery...at least play some local artists. Dezamn!

This is what happens to cities when they refuse to adapt in the age of Globalization. Montgomery prospered when economic forces were driven by industrialization and demand for regional labor was strong.
Now, technological advances (i.e., automation) and international labor surplus are putting strains on cities that continue to use the post-WWII economic model. For instance, after the 2nd WW ended Europe's industrial base was destroyed. The Europeans financed rebuilding their infrastructure on U.S. industry; and this continued from 1950 thru mid to late 80s.
Meanwhile, countries like the U.S. moved away from industrialization and became a knowledge-based innovative economy. In other words, the jobs that are in demand now require using one's brain rather than one's hands - professional jobs that require license or certification; jobs that are heavily serviced based in which one uses reason and judgment; and jobs that require planning and implementing processes and procedures.
Cities like this have failed their citizens because they did not prepare them for 21-century jobs. And until they do these cities will continue to decay, while waiting for jobs that have long gone and won't come back.
Razor Lite let me reply to you from a different perspective when you debase your manufacturing and send it all to china India and other low wage countries that work for under a $1.00 and bring the goods back here and sell them for the same price as if it was made in the United States you put many many Americans out of work and thus they do not have the money to pay their bill and up keep yet the pair of pants thats made for .75 cent and sells for $60.00 Levi jeans for instance, were are you going to get the money to pay for such item when you do not have a job. Keep American Jobs in America then we could have the money for the up keep of our homes etc, but this globilization bull shit only benefits the rich and the working class just goes to hell. All just one big lie even Trump talks about making America great but get his products manufactured across the ocean in one of them slave labor countries Nike makes a pair of sneakers for under $1.00 in cost bring them back to U.S. and sell for 800.00 a pair for Mike Jordons so who is winning Jordon and Nike.
Razor Lite I am a die maker which at one time was higher paid labor. Dies are now made using computers along with lasers & rule processors. They aren't made by men anymore but machines do a better job & hold accuracy to the 1,000 of an inch & they are faster because they don't take breaks. I'm glad I did it in their heyday but those days are gone now. Never even dreamed they could have machines do it. Die making is now a lost art & never coming back. I was stubborn to the very end & feel sorry for the guys that have 15 or 20 years learning that trade only to become unemployed & to young to retire & to old to retrain. Don't worry about it they are even working on replacing Truck drivers. I'm retired & now 73 years old glad I'm not 45 or 50 I would have to go back to school to learn to program computers using cad cam. Although years ago I did go to school & learned what I had to know but never had to work as a programmer. Still made them by hand until about 2016 when I stopped. Lol. Got out before they told me that I was a dinosaur & wasn't needed or wanted. I enjoyed making cutting dies my whole life
@@jackboyer1280 godspeed mr Jack
@@InAnotherLife90 thank you, wish I remembered what I posted. Lol
Girl I live here it’s not that bad lmao...the video is riding through the hood
Do Tuscaloosa next😊
You left Chisholm,highland gardens,capital heights and the rest of the nawf side out.
Living in denver and looking at some of the neighborhoods there all i can see is potential i would love to live there. You have to take some kind of initiative to make it look better love the style of the homes there im sure there is plenty opportunity for small businesses i see it in the pics all over wow
No matter where you are in America or in the world, it's sad to see all the blight and struggle. It's not just in one place, it's in every city and state. If people really want to bring about a change for the better, bring it! It doesn't matter where you start. Just start somewhere! No matter how insignificant you might think your efforts would be. It all helps. It's not a job for just a few. It's a job for everyone! Do your part. Thank you and God bless you and yours.
How come you guys gasoline is so cheap costing? we way up there round 3.89 an higher a gallon?
I’ll bet it was once a beautiful place to live when it was built 50 years ago.
2:46 That used to be WSFA Channel 12, but they recently moved into one of the RSA towers downtown.
Im from the gump.i use to stay on happiness in Ridgecrest. My unc use to stay right on S.Court St. The last road you was on. Cool vid. But seem like this a early morning vid. Making the gump look abandoned
nah our sky stay be like dat in da morning its not even like dat nd i use to live on s.court street too nd my school use to be davis in elementary
Not much there... once the young people finished school they left.. not only the blacks... the young white people too...
Margaret Barksdale I left in 1995.
Westside representin ...Day Street, Hill street, Western Hills. But yeah, we got some neighborhoods that are still holding strong and we got too many neighborhoods that are just stagnant. But there are some very complex reasons why that is so a in we bare a lot of our own responsibility as to why some of this stuff has happened. Kudos to the people who still living the Gump and who are trying to revitalize the areas for everybody and not just a select few
❤❤
Yeah, but you outta see the east side of Montgomery. Totally, totally opposite!
Legit
I live in the Gump bro, this is very accurate, especially in the Westside.
yeah but I was hoping he would go into King Hill
He don't need to come here trying to get money off the city n this shit is not true the west is the best side
David Overton the north is the safest?
not really, depends on which part of north. northwest isn't, a few parts northeast are. most of north is kinda bad too, although it's also relatively empty
Ben Mason so all of Montgomery is dangerous?
There is no reason for any able body person to live like this...I just saw my hood on here and I love my hood but I got up off my ass and got up outta there and I ain't been to nobody college... If u don't want better for yourself u should at least want better for your kids u can't blame this one on the white folks of u stuck here that's all on u Gee... Facts
welcome to Alabama! Montgomery isn't too far from where I live.
I live here
mista playa rell 😂
I used to live in Montgomery, I've since moved back to Prattville, so I don't really miss it
@@karlsmith2570 I grew up in Prattville and Montgomery. I moved to Atlanta when I was 16. My family is still there.
❤❤❤
Wait was that in Chisem on the other side of the Montgomery zoo
Alot of cities down south you missed Miami, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Savannah Ga, Tampa, Orlando, Baton Rouge, Nashville...
R. Smith Lol gas ain’t cheap and he workin a job. Give the nigga a break.
R. Smith , yeah, pick any county in Florida...
R. Smith He Already did a video in Nashville but he can do a video in New Orleans Jacksonville and other southern cities
Start a go fund me page so it will pay for his bills, gas and maintenance on his vehicle and if you live close to any of those cities you can upload a video yourself.
I’m from Montgomery Alabama I live in Atlanta now but to be honest the only side of the city that looks like that are the south and west side minority’s live in those area predominantly black but when you go out north and east it gets better
why is it a ghost town all those buildings that sitting there rotting away I see the liquor shop in nail shop open shaking my head
❤❤❤
I live in Montgomery
Who cae3
❤❤❤❤😘💗
Hey man, this is a very good video. cause I searched so long for videos like this. Not specially Alabama, I was looking for a Video, where showing some 'normal areas'. So far, I just saw Videos from some big cities.
'Normal areas' with some friendly People like at 9:49
Grass already growing. Damn!
yeah it's basically spring here already
Epic Compilations Smh, I'm hearing tree pollen is already bad.
Shellyman Studios
Yes, the pollen is already here 😓 I miss winter already.
Shellyman Studios screaming 🤦🤦🤦
I'm from the Gump, and I have people in Ridgecrest. 7 miles away from here, East Montgomery could not be more different.
Just imagine google streetview drivers have to go through all ghetto places like these around USA
I don't understand why do you call these places "hoods", they all seem to have private houses. Is it mainly because of the violence? i am used to consider hood only public housing, which is pretty popular in europe.
Charlie, you should have seen the Toys R Us in Montgomery... the outside is a time capsule. A few miles south was home to RUclips sensation Sammy Stephens who made Flea Market Montgomery famous!
He not in that part of Montgomery it looks like I’m on north side or south west side bad houses look good tho but
“It’s just like a mini mall”
Well, thanks for the travelogue, but I could have got the same thing from Google. Some facts, some stats, comments on research of crimes or something that make these bad neighborhoods would decrease the bore quantity. So, boarded up strip malls; don't know of any cities that don't have some. Some random trash on grounds of the projects, but I've seen much worse projects. These looked clean and in good repair. Most of the houses you randomly drove by were older, but with neat yards and seemingly well maintained. Yes, a few had boarded windows, but they didn't appear to be crack houses. Some were unsightly, with peeling paint and so on, but having your house painted is expensive and if the occupants are elderly or disabled doing it themselves is not an option. One great thing about the older neighborhoods is the size of the lots! What nice big yards. Without some facts and documentation I don't see these as necessarily bad areas.
I was told I'm a City Girl yes,to live in rural southern states looks soo depressing,desalinat.just sayin
Well that's yo opinion lady..
@@YanksandBritsProductions Small towns suck
Damn, you caught me at the end on a very rare occasion on me picking up my daughter from that side of town. Lol
Lol..really? You live in the Gump? 💯
BABYYY LEMME TAKE U OUT ONA LUNCH N DINNER DATE WIT ME PRETTY PLEASE MY GODDESS IM FRM BOSTON❤❤❤❤❤😘
Only live about 20 minutes from Montgomery, the western bypass is the worst part of town.
yeah, but there's a few spots more central that are just as bad
those neighborhoods you drove in look a lot like the ones in my city, which is tally ho or better known as tallahssee, fl!
And Trump calling some countries ''shit hole'' lol..............
John Aguila Have you even been to another county? Obviously not if you think this looks like some parts of Africa or Haiti. A lot of those people live in mud huts.
this is nice compared to the shit hole countries he's referring to idiot
John Eagle The places Trump called shithole look worse than this by 100 fold. You don't know what poverty is until you go to a country where the median income is $400.00 not per week or month but per year where you try to feed a family of 4 or 5 or more people one 1dollar per day. Only then will you understand what true poverty is. That's why so many of them try to come to America where minimum wage is a fortune to them & they almost all are willing to work very hard for that fortune (fortune to them) peanuts to us. My uncle that fought in the Philippines during WW2 told me that it was nothing to see babies floating dead in the streams of water because they couldn't afford another kid & life is cheap there
Gul Dukat Countries where life is cheap & mothers toss newborns into rivers because it's another mouth to feed & they don't ever get enough to eat as it is. Can't possibly feed one more so they dispose of them the only way they know how. I noticed lots of cars & some places you are rich if you can afford a bicycle where walking is the major transportation for them. This is why so many try for the jackpot getting into America. I am not suggesting in any way that we should welcome them. What I am trying to say is this is what libturd want for America, for us to become just like those places. Yet another reason I can't force myself to vote for a libturd left wing dumbocrap. I don't see this happening to America. And after that P.O.S. Obama showed them what his & libturd vision for America they are so stupid they still vote these tires into office. Sad but true they have to have IQ"s of room temperature
Charlie, a different kind of low income neighborhood, a different flavor of poverty here, when compared to that seen in your Detroit clips. There, widespread economic downturn has resulted in large swaths of uninhabitable streets. But here, despite the lack of resources to upgrade and remodel, there seems to be enough revenue for fundamental upkeep, and in the case of the house at 12:10, some pretty creative landscaping. Also, a real estate sign at 13:31 is always a good sign, along with the abundance of fenced properties, if not for security, but perhaps as a psychological delineation in an attempt to control what enters and exits the property. This looks like a low income, but stable, neighborhood.
Should go to Kingston Springs out in Pike Rd
Yes in deed. Or Freeport. Or down in the Bend in Waugh.
im from the countryside of montgomery county... Ramer, AL... n i recognize all these places lol
U know the Fullers from Ramer?
heard of em but not personally
I used to go to Reds School house to eat on Sundays in Ramer
❤💗❤💞
Nem tudo é glória...
Muito bom ver o outro lado dos EUA, o que ratifica que a pobreza é um mal que assola todo o globo, inclusive as superpotências econômicas.
Is this where they filmed Doe B - Let Me Find Out ?
okay, back to detroit?
EpicBLUE RAT999 Shut up
EpicBLUE RAT999 Montgomery has a car factory that makes Hyundai. So it's like Detroit.
How is it there?? I might visit next time I travel to US.
Everyone got nice cars.
Perfect example of the difference between northern niggas and southern niggas. This hood is clean and orderly. Probably alot of decent folk here.
#AlabamaStandUp
is this worse then Birmingham? I went there last summer and some of it was nice.
Same ingredients- Kids having kids, poor or no parenting, alcohol and drug addiction, displaced values; -lead to the same results.
It’s called deterioration slowly year by year. and about not careing paint and mow the yard is cheap.Where is the city representative? Where is the money going? Has to be corruption. They have hundred of million in the city fund and federal.
Beside jobs. But you can get a small business people got to shop.
That ain't shit ! You wanna see bad, come to New Orleans hood
honeybun33 yes
honeybun33 actually I live on the west bank
Brandi Renee' you right baby i heard about it down there.
This aint shit??? Your standards are wayyyyyy too low then.
Brandi Renee My family is from New Orleans. A Ghetto is all the same and I've been to Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Antonio, Jackson, Birmingham, Montgomery, California. This shit is nothing to brag about. It's a sickness. We have to do better as a people. No jobs or economic power is coming to the hood as long as we have gangs, drugs and prostitutes. What business in their right mind would build around robbing and killing. (My family lived off Franklin.) My brother used to coach at Holy Cross and St. AUG. My sister in law graduated from St. Marys. When, I was young and dumb, we went to Calliope and Magnolia to visit his friends.
I'm assuming u didn't got to Nawf Paah (North Pass) because u didn't wanna increase your chance of getting shot.
U real smart. Lol
