    I’m Puerto Rican living in PA. I went to travel to PR & I needed weed. So ofc I had my shirt off riding a moped around the island that entire day, so I stopped by la perla. The moment I crossed that line, one of the OGs in the hood asked why I don’t have a shirt on? I said cuz it’s hot and I don’t want my shirt drenched in sweat. He said “turn around and go put a shirt on” as there was 5 other dudes surrounded behind him making sure I ain’t pulling out my camera or tryna start problems. I asked him I was there just for weed and he gave me a whole 8th so I gave him $50 with a $10 extra tip since it was $40. Cool dude, just gotta respect the areas. Not even the cops go to that area. Don’t make my mistake lol wear a shirt, act accordingly and friendly & NEVER record anything! They will kill you, no hesitation

    It’s simple people! Imma put it like this… lets say you live in a gated community, beautiful golf course behind your house, great neighbors for the most part and you decide come out to your pool. Imagine as soon as you step out to your patio… u see a golfer peeing on one of your palm trees or beside your house. How would u react? It’s all about common sense. Right now, in this present time… 2023, La Perla has evolved into a tourist destination. A beautiful place full of good vibes, good music and bars. I big reason for la Perla’s huge popularity is… it’s Notorious and Infamous history. Back in the 90s and in the 80s la perla was a place where not even local Puerto Ricans would go, let alone tourists. It was a very very very dangerous place, overtime Puerto Rico and the government has managed to fix it up and promote it to the world. Now al thought it’s for the most part safe, We can’t forget the roots of the neighborhood… it’s a ghetto, it was a slum and YES it is a place where u can find some party goodies. But one thing guaranteed if you go in there looking for a good time, not disrespecting the locals and politely asking if it’s ok to take a pic… you’ll be fine!

    They probably now know they stand to make a lot money off the tourists that are looking to get high and buy illegal services so they probably toned it down some so they dont completely scare of potential customers. So good business decision by the drug lord's in power in la Perla 😂. Thank you great video. You have a joyful, good and respectful spirit.This is probably why you made thru okay.😊 P.S. I rather deal with chickens then rats in the streets 😂

    I can't believe there's a sign going in saying something like "Shanty Town" or something. It's like a tourist attraction, yet you really do get offered drugs when you go inside. I followed the rules about not taking out my phone and I was safe. I saw a woman who forgot and took out her phone and she was safe too.

Police and drug dealers shooting from one side of the road to the nexr. Drug dealers owned the island. Look, I love my island no matter what . But they need to show the true la Perla. Day time is safe but the night time a whole different ball game . Drug dealers still own parts of the island and la Perla is no different.

Nothing to do with race. 🤦🏽‍♂️
