America's FIRST Muslim-Majority City: Hamtramck, Michigan 5K.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2024
- Historically, Hamtramck was a strong Polish community. Polish immigrants flocked towards Detroit back in the day for the automotive jobs. Overtime, the large Polish population moved towards the suburbs, and today, Hamtramck is mostly made up of Middle-easterners. There are other large cultural groups in Hamtramck from Ukraine and Bangladesh. With all of these ethnic groups living in this small 2 square mile community, Hamtramck has a great selection of ethnic restaurants. Live music events are held in Hamtramck where you can hear music from all over the world. On the flip side, nearly half of all the cities residents are living in poverty, and the crime rates are on the higher end.

Not leading with insult and stereotypes is much better. Glad to see an improvement in your style.
Do you know of any majority atheist towns? or majority childless towns? that can fund abortions to save school tax?
a Muslim majority city named hamtramck, that probably should change soon.
The city is so clean. I was there a year ago and even the ally ways are swept and trash is in containers. Being of Polish
heritage I know that the Polish people value keeping their yards and city clean. This is also true for the newer immigrants
to the city. So many times poverty is equated with dirty streets and yards. Not so in Hamtramck. Proud of this
little city.
Thanks for the memories. My mom & I used to take the bus into Hamtramck & spend the day walking down Jo's Campeau shopping. Bought my senior class ring there. My Grandma lived on Sobieski & attended Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church. The houses & neighborhoods look pretty much like I remember.
At one time, Polish was taught in all the schools. There was a young black man riding on the bus who overheard two ladies speaking derogatorically about him. Imagine their surprise when he got off the bus & wished them a good day in Polish. At least that's the story I heard.
The Polish people who lived in Hamtramck were proud to keep the city clean and planted flowers. On a recent visit, I was pleased
to see the Middle Eastern residents keeping their yards and the city clean. Shows pride.
Not originally from the Detroit area, I moved to Hamtramck in the early 80’s to attend Wayne State. Stayed on for a while after finishing school. Quite a memorable experience. Very diverse. Really enjoyed it. Looks to be in better shape now than it did back then. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Chris for such an honest portrayal of Hamtramck. I used to eat at a couple great Polish restaurants there years ago. St. Florian's is such a beautiful church, I am glad it is still in operation. I remember attending Mass there once when they had services honoring area firefighters (per the parish's Patron Saint). Keep up the good work, your videos and commentary are really great.
A city, surrounded by Detroit, that is not a wasteland!
That’s Highland Park right next door. It’s so bad, Detroit doesn’t want to annex it.
@@jag92949 Highland park at one time was deemed as the place to live. Politicians and their pals ruined it.
Inch...by...inch...slowly...I turn.
But all Muslim cities are a waste land but in the land of the free, that's odd.
@@MS-st1zb Yep, politicians love to destroy things.
This is an excellent video! Thank you for doing all of this research and showcasing our unique little city.
One small note: the building you passed around 15 minutes in (right by the Henry Ford medical center) that you thought were government offices, that is the Senior Plaza that is also run by the Hamtramck Housing Commission, and has around 160 residents living there.
Many Polish Restaurants & Bakeries on Joseph Campau. The New Palce Bakery in particular is amazing, been there since 1908
Great video. Unlike so many sections of Detroit, the infrastructure of Hamtramck is very intact. Nice to see the residential streets so clean and tidy.
People work and pay taxes here, unlike detroit 😒
My great grandparents
Moved to hamtramk in
1915, and my great grandfather worked the
at the Ford motor Co
On the assembly line.
Awesome video.
A pretty similar story here with a bunch of Polish relatives.
I love Hamtramck! People of all cultures and religions live together harmoniously. It's an incredible place. You should've mentioned the polish restaurant Under The Eagle. Several US presidents including, Roosevelt, Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr. visited it. Also a couple Popes visited Hamtramck. Great video!
People may live together harmoniously, but the cultural groups that have moved in now do not keep up their homes.
I'm amazed at the cleanliness and upkeep of all the houses, streets, parks, and buildings! With a higher poverty rate than Detroit proper, one would think that Hamtramck would be even more bombed out, abandoned, and squalid... like Highland Park. It shows that even if you're a poor town, you can still run a tight ship.
I lived in Hamtramck for several years and my ex husband still does and one of my adult sons as well. Hamtramck is very well-kept. Although it has a high crime rate, the people look out for each other. Neighbors pay attention to people in the neighborhood who don't live there, or when things don't look right. The Hamtramck police department has a great response time. Honestly, if it was closer to where I work I wouldn't mind living there again. Even after the tornado in 1997, the people were immediately helping each other.
It’s amazing what happens when people actually care about where they live and take pride in ownership
Born and raised in Hamtramck's south side, left around 1998 but continued working there until 2002 when the company I worked for but shall not name closed down their Hamtramck facility. Was always a love/dislike relationship with the city. I loved it but also wanted out to find my path. As with any place you go to it has its pros and cons. Good to see the city has made some drastic improvements since I was last there in the early 2000s. I wonder if they still hold the Tuesday night brawls in the city council chambers, those were always fun to watch on local cable before the days of youtube. Growing up there I loved the diversity, and if I was curious about another culture there was always a neighbor or schoolmate to answer my questions without feeling offended. And being such a small city it was very easily walkable and shops for just about anything.
Thank you for this very interesting tour of Hamtramck! I enjoyed this video and learned a lot about it's history too- and current status. Hamtramck Disney was quite the unexpected delight! lol
My grandparents lived on Faber. My grandmother moved into the house when she was 3 (from Delray). My great grandfather put indoor plumbing in the house. It had an outhouse in the backyard. When my grandparents got married My grandfather moved in and then later bought the house from his father inlaw. My grandmother lived in that house for 76 years.
I had the pleasure of growing up knowing my great grandfather. He also told me when he moved to Hamtramck Holbrook had a brook running next to it.
Love Hamtramck! Lots of cultural diversity, good food, and one of the most pedestrian-friendly places in the Detroit metro!
Yup. And just wait until women are banned from going out without men! So diverse! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@michaelp7617 Yeah, no, that's not what it's like at all in Michigan. Most Muslim immigrants to the US and Michigan in particular are fleeing repressive governments, not looking to emulate them.
@@elli6220 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really, really enjoyed this video.My dad was born here and raised in Hamtown.I grew up in Detroit not far from here and we always shopped in Hamtramck in the 50's 60' s 70's and early 80's.I was last in Hamtramck in 2017 at my niece's wedding at St.Florian and I can tell you this Hamtramck looks a hell of a lot better than it's next door neighbor.You should have drove down Buffalo and you can see the difference.Love this city and always will.
They destroyed detroit
Thanks for the video. I worked in Hamtramck at the AAM Plant on Holbrook. It is a very nice city with an awesome shopping district and nice entertainment as well. But I think you may be mistaken about how poor the people are. Every time I went int a bank in Hamtramck it would be packed with people who had tons of money. Real Talk. Hamtramck is not a poor City.
Thank you Chris for your video of Hamtramck. I was born there in 1943. We lived in East Detroit at the time. I remember my mother and I driving to Hamtramck to get some Polish Kabassa from Kowalski's.
Kowalski's home of the big floppy!
My father worked in Hamtramck when I was a child. It was a Polish enclave, people speaking Polish everywhere and keeping Polish traditions. I still think of it as Polish.
Not anymore
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩 I’m a bit prejudiced, as in past 3 years, my government-paid Bangladeshi Carer has literally saved my life. I became disabled and ill. Everyone disappeared. Ayub came to my door with a meal delivery. I said, “Would you like a little job?”
When I was a child in the mid-1950's, Hamtramck was a "Booming Metropolis"! I fondly recall shopping with my folks along Jos. Campau during those warm summer nights. I still have the scents and sounds in my head all these many years. We still eat at the Polonia Restaurant on Yemen Street once a year. Great food!!
Thanks for the video, Chris, but I don't understand why you overlooked the main square - Pope John Paul II plaza, on the main strip in the center of the town with a great statue of the pontiff and very colorful & elaborate mosaic mural depicting a whole array of characters & the town's heritage!?!?
Back in 1987 Pope John Paul ll traveled down Jos. Campau in his Popemobile.That was a historical event for us Catholics. Jos. Campau was lined with thousands of people that came to see him.
Hopefully you have more long drive videos with Nostalgia Tours Radio. I like the music and the humor. Keep up the good work Chris!
I have been fortunate to find your channel. I have seen quite a few videos and have learned quite a bit. I enjoy all videos l have seen. keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'll certainly try to.
Cultural diversity needs a lot to be desired myself I don't care for it.
My grandparents and parents were from Ham Town I even lived there for a while in the 80's. The lady into Middle Eastern culture really seems to enjoy Hamtramck as it being a pretty friendly place plus some great restaurants.
You got the name right. I live in hamtramck,Mi right now!
I can't comment what I would like to say, so I'll just say hello to the algorithm. In any case I hope the algorithm will allow Chris to do videos in states other than Michigan and Illinois to a greater extent.
My parents were born and raised in Hamtramck (you went by the house my dad grew up in on the corner of Norwalk and Gallagher, which is now grey and has been expanded into the back yard), and my siblings and I were all born there (our birthplace is now City Hall... it used to be St. Francis Hospital). I was hoping you were going to go farther down Caniff towards Mound Rd , as my Aunt and Uncle lived on 5005 Caniff... and absolutely beautiful, custom home built about 1956. The current owner has taken fantastic care of the home as it is just as beautiful as when I was a young boy. Great video!! (Btw, my parents, who spoke VERY fluent Polish , pronounced it Pun- check and Punch-key)
My grandparents live on Norwalk hamtramack is the best
I miss Detroit and hamtramck. As a kid, we used to go trick or treating in hamtramck, the laundromat in hamtramck, shopping in hamtramck. I wonder do they still do the hamtramck festival. We was there yearly too.
The Polish and Irish also fled to the west, towards Canton, Wayne city, Dearborn, Westland, Ecorse, Deborrn Heights and Garden City, and so on.
Yes, we did. I remember moving. Now however those cities are flooded with Arab. Especially In Dearborn, I always loved Dearborn growing up.
Hamtramck city hall was St.Frances hospital way back in the day .
Born. & Raised in Hamtramck
I would have thought that Dearborn would have been the first majority Muslim city in America.
There are a lot of Asians living in Hamtramck too but all of us old-timers will always remember it as being a Polish community, much like Delray being a Hungarian community.
Dearborn is Arab majority (probably, hard to tell with the Census including Arabs as "White") mixed between Christians and Muslims (and other), but Hamtramck is Muslim majority (the Asian population, Bosnian population, and others contribute to that in addition to the Arab population).
Does Michigan have a Scottish area? (not "scotch", I'm not asking about alcohol)
every year this time Paczki's are everywhere here in the Chicagoland area, thank you for the video, very interesting!
Saw a lot of Chicago videos when I was trying to get the pronunciation of Paczki right.
@@ChrisHarden They’re in Metro Detroit as well.
I rented a two bedroom upper flat for years in Hamtramck. $110/month for years... When I moved it was a whopping $250!
I missed the diversity. Everyone out on their porches in summer. Church bells. Our family is Polish heritage and lived in and around the area until the 1990s.
Born and Raised in Hamtramck, it has changed. I left in 92 and went back 30 years later. It wasnt for the worse, but the Muslim population was huge. I still love my city
As a UK resident I am finding these drive by vids of American towns, especially Detroit. Really interesting. But there is one thing that's intruiging me.. Where are the people on the street.?
My grandfather’s family lived here after his parents immigrated from Croatia in the 1910s.
Thanks for making these videos of my city and state
At one time it was known as pole town filled with polish families. If you think Hamtramack is filled with muslims and arabs, you need to travel to Dearborn. Michigan has the highest number of Arabic culture, drive through you'll think your not in America.
Sad
Elijah Poole A.K.A. Elijah Muhammad founder of the Black Nation of Islam once lived here.
Beautiful sunset? Looks like you could use a good hammock in Hamtramck
At least Hamtramck appears to be populated and active, unlike the sad hopeless mess that is Highland Park.
I was hoping you would show the skate park on Davidson and keyworth stadium, where DFC play. Those are both unique to Hamtramck as well.
That's fair. Probably could've found time to talk about it.
I remember Keyworth Stadium I played football for St Florian High School there back in 1970 through 72.
@@ChrisHarden You can come back and do a segment on Detroit City FC all in itself. There's a great story there.
The Hamtramck zipcode is 48212 which it shares with a part of Detroit.My Detroit home's zipcode was 48212
Very informative videos
You forgot to mention that the City of Hamtramck was home to a few celebrities.Actor Tom Tyler ( Born Victor Markowski) was born in New York but raised in Hamtramck.He made several westerns for John Ford.He suffered from rhumitoid arthritis that put an end to his acting career.He moved back to live out his days in his sister's Hamtramck home until his death.They say he used to walk around the neighborhood in full Western gear! Actress and TV Producer Gail Kobe was born and raised in Hamtramck She appeared in many 60s tv shows one being Dr.Kildare.later a soap opera producer.Her sister was the chief librarian at the Hamtramck Public Library for the longest time.Finally, Tennis Champion Peaches Bartkowicz is another born and raised Hamtramck celebrity.
Don't forget Rudy tomjanovich
... singer Mitch Ryder also grew up in Hamtramck
I believe the first Muslim majority city was Dearborn Michigan not hamtramck michigan. Hamtramck is always been a multi religion and multicultural city. Mostly people from Eastern Europe.
Working my way slowly through all your videos, Michigan's first of course. :)
The city hall was a Hospital St. Francis built in 1927.The hospital closed in 1969 and the building was converted into Hamtramck City Hall.
Born there in 1954 I lived in Warren but spent a lot of my life on Yemans near the TEC Bar
I wonder if Detroit's standing w.r.t. the number of Poles (3rd place) compared to New York and Chicago has anything to do with the availability of flights. There are direct/non-stop flights from Warsaw to New York and from Warsaw to Chicago. There are no direct/non-stop flights from Warsaw to Detroit. Someone who wants to travel from Warsaw to Detroit has to stop somewhere in Europe (often Frankfurt or Amsterdam) or in New York/Chicago and then board a second flight. As a result, perhaps, New York and Chicago continue to get new immigrants, and the Polish neighborhoods retain a high concentration of Poles, while Detroit might not get as many new immigrants, so the concentration decreases.
I'd like to know what percentage of the population of Hamtramck receives welfare benefits, food stamps etc... how many are the federal government paying for?
My hometown, even passed up my childhood home on Holbrook
My birthplace, Our home was on Edwin Street!
Safe to guess that your family is Polish??
Fun to watch this through another person's eyes. I was mayor from 2006-2021. Good to see Lynn, too!
I can't wait for Dearborn video.
Great video sir
Thanks for the video.
However I see why you get some negative comments.
You’re missing a lot of historical facts and places. You even missed a whole section of the city in your drive by tour. A suggestion to you is to find a life long resident or former resident to give you some insights. I lived there in the 60’s till the late 80’s. It was a vibrant community. The polish citizens were know for keeping their home and lawns in tip top shape. All neighborhoods were nice with a serious community interaction in each ethnic area. I could go on, but you should make a comment that you’re just providing information from your own late comer view point. This would help your videos not come across as just negative statements about a once proud community.
My grandmother lived in Hamtramck when I was a kid. Polish family of course.
I consider Hamtramck to be my home town because I lived there from 1996 till 2010 on and off. I haven’t lived there since 2010 so I can’t speak on it now but it was a tough place to grow up. Most of my friends dropped out of high school, including myself.
Go back & visit. I'm sure they'll welcome you with open arms.
Interesting how Hamtramck thrives while Highland Park dives. Y-O-Y?
It all depends on what the fathers do on behalf of their families. Many in Detroit, don't stick around. Detroit started going down when fathers were allowed to legitimize hanging out on street corners while their children suffered and struggled to stay alive.
Awesome video 👍👍
I knew a good number of 1st gen muslum kids growing up. Their parents made them work their asses off in school. Theyre highly successful doctors now.
That's a great story, thank you Henry. I hope your neighbors were reunited with their asses. Noone wants to lose their ass.
I grew up in Hamtramck as a kid until I was 8....South side of Hamtramck is definitely not the same.
Last time I was in Hamtramck was 2016, it was looking a little downtrodden then, looks really good now.
Poorer than Detroit, but somehow a very clean and well-kept city. Pride in the neighborhoods. They manage their own police and fire departments. They are doing a lot right!
A couple of years ago I made a wrong turn and was heading towards downtown Detroit. I got off the freeway at the road to the old airport. I got turned around and left the city via Harpo Avenue. What neighbourhood /city is this area called?
In a casual sense, most people would just call that the East Side I’m pretty sure… or people just refer to the major street intersections, like Harper and Conner or something.
The Detroit City Airport is on Conner Ave. It's Harper, although Harpo's (an old music venue) is in Harper! LOL
I grew up in Poletown and went to school in Hamtramck. We moved out when GM took our house,.
Love your channel.
You really should of given more time and a better view of St Florian Catholic Church.
You didn't mention Kowalski's. I grew up eating their kabassa and polacki. You drove by their plant. Great video
It's so nice and clean compared to Detroit and Flint
Hamtramck is what Detroit used to look like....woof
Detroit city fc play their home games in keyworth stadium just northeast of hamtramck stadium. They play in the united soccer league championship, essentially a level below mls
Pączki=Donuts xD Greets from Poland!
Those are amazing but they're not very health smart 😛
The Polish Pope came in the 80s. And said it was his favorite place In The Detroit area. 🤔😱
Hamtramck looks like Beverly Hills compared with some areas you've shown.
Sure, when compared to Highland Park and some other parts of Detroit.
I’ve read that the REAL Beverly Hills is going downhill.
Yemen Cafe is 🔥🔥, worth checking out if your around the area. Can also go fowling or soccer games out there
Sheeba is better I think. I like to have some yemeni coffee and tea to wash down my food
After seeing Detroit outside of the Woodward corridor, Hamtramck looks good. Worth noting -- whatever you say about Islam it has some very conservative family values. No booze? Much crime and domestic violence has alcohol as a lubricant or fuel. Alcohol is a big waste of money for poor people and as such creates hardships. Islam is sympathetic to small business, which is one of the most reliable escapes from poverty.
I lived in Chicago for a short period of time and they have a Polish population I have tried polish pastries they are good. Chicago isn't a good place for people who are struggling with homelessness. This city is perfect for Muslims I'm partially Afghan so I feel like I could make it. Detroit does have problems historically with gun violence
Hamtramck is a city that parts of Detroit used to be in terms of density. Hamtramck's population density is about 10,000 people per square mile compares to Chicago's population density of 11,750 for example. Hamtramck's population growth has also also benefited from immigration compared to Highland Park which I'm sure a future video is coming for that.
One thing I do have to say. They are Rebuilding the old buildings
How come the city is impoverished but the streets are immaculate?
I thinking about moving there.
It interesting to envision these areas bustling with first and second generation European immigrants. Kids running around during Halloween, ethnic restaurants, ect.
If theres lead in the drinking water, then why are they not replacing the pipes? who wants lead in their drinking water?
Pipes are actively being replaced, but funding is a massive barrier to doing it more quickly.
I wonder to what degree the crime rate is affected by the responsiveness of police. Obviously the place has its problems, but if you know that calling the cops will actually result in them showing up, you're probably a lot more likely to report a crime.
That is a major difference. I lived in Hamtramck from 97-04 and the cops would show up right away when called. When I lived in Detroit in the
brightmoor area cops would take hours to days to respond and even had times where no one showed up at all.
Very different from highland park.
Why doesn't the city plant shade trees along the barren hot streets?
My Grandparents on both sides settled here after coming from Poland. On the same Ship. As teenagers. Some Polish b still live in “Pole “ town. One elder lady was running for Mayor. FINALY she got the courage after all those yrs living there. Went door to door. Talked to many Lady’s. And still the young man became Mayor all due to his Religion and NO experience.. Shameful.
I grew up in Hamtramck .. I don't care what this guy says Hamtramck is not poverty-stricken at all... the only poverty comes from the housing projects
Lot of unreported earnings. It's a town where a household gets bridge card but their sons drive brand new lexus SUVs. Makes no sense...
@@Aboleo80 yes it makes a lot of sense it's called working the system which is smart
What is bridge card?
Like you Channel I'm new you tell it like it is
My Grandfathers both worked for Cadillac in that town. Then one went to work for Fords. That lasted 1 week 🤔💁♂️😂 the other to Studebaker and Hudson & Plymouth s
it sure is an eyesore to say the least,i worked through there,ugggggh.
10:25 Where’s “Mean Streetz”?
I see no pedestrian friendly streets in the business district.
Unfortunately Hamtramck, which was once a beautiful clean little community made up of Polish immigrants and other European immigrants, over the past four decades has really gone to hell. The cultural groups that have moved in do not keep their homes clean, the storefronts are a mess, a lot of stores are vacant. Back in the day the Polish people kept their yards so neat, beautiful flower gardens, women were always sweeping and scrubbing the porches, it's very sad to see how people that have moved in allow their houses to decline and live in dirt and disarray and filth. I still go to Hamtramck to do some meat market shopping in Bakery and also go to the cultural center there and usually get a good meal at one of the Polish restaurants but honestly it's very sad to see a community change so much for the worst.
I love hamtramck
"response times are really quick" thats the least bit comforting LOL.... criminals dont give a rats ass about that.
Dearborn's gotta be close to a Muslim majority, isn't it?
Dearborn is an arab american Muslim and Christian. it's not majority Muslim.
Dearborn Arab majority
