Trajan you have to know how to mind your own business, people are not as bad as television makes them out to be in ruff neighborhoods, night time can be different. I just want to fix those pot holes on the road so bad
This man looked like he just stayed on N. Main Rd. he should’ve went to Monticello, Broad River, two notch could’ve went through neighborhoods like the colonies, Rock gate, Lincolnshire, The bishop and crane forest and he didn’t even touch the north east side of Columbia
I've read some of the comments and just because these are low rent homes does not make the people less valuable just because they do not live in a, "gated" community. Some of the worst and most vile evil and violent people you can ever meet come from affluent backgrounds.
Thank You for your reply and just the fact that people have to be reminded that money does not equals morals, common sense or being a good person reflects sadly on this country we live in.
john smith to be exact we had a guy kill his best friend and his wife on some frame type stuff right out of a place called Apscot homes where they start at 500k cause he wanted some money and he came from money.
I actually saw a few homes that was quite Pretty , A few the brick homes looked nice, And few the wooden ones too , Some looked very much like some of the old style coal houses we have here in The Appalachian Mountains, They would surprise you , You think they fall down with the slightest wind , But a lot very sturdy, And like these homes , And their caretakers, You can't judge them From the outside, Those houses are gems just waiting to be polished up, I prefer older homes , They've proven themselves with their endurance of time , Might need a bit maintenance, But many prove to outlast some modern ones , My opinion of course !💁
Maybe I’m biased (I’m from S.C.) or maybe it’s the trees and grass, but S.C. hoods look a lot more pleasant than a lot of the other hoods on this channel.
Amen!at least alot of them try to keep their yards clean and have a nice place.If u.try and keep it nice,it wont look so bad and run down.I am from SC also and my daughters lives in Columbia but,Ive never seen this part .I love my SC
I’ve lived in North Carolina and then South Carolina for the last 7 years on my own. Now I’m back in North Carolina. I didn’t know anyone there. They say Columbia gets rough. I think a lot of the violence that occurs is between people that know each other. I was homeless in Columbia and slept in my car. Not once did I feel unsafe. I would not do that in my hometown Detroit where I grew up all my life.
Lot of family homes there and like any older neighborhood people are older. This is where grandparents live & no they arnt gardening because they are retired. They spend there money on vacations and the kids. Many of the property s have been bought by slum lords & last year we made lawyers so we could stop some of that. But im not ashamed of the streets you call "the hood" I think its all good.
I currently live in Columbia, SC. There’s good people here that work hard and don’t mess/bother people. I’m very blessed to be on the northeast side but everyone don’t have the same opportunities afforded to them. Sometimes it tough, but there are still good people in the city
These roads are in deplorable shape, these apartments are city property. Where is all the taxpayer dollars going? This area needs better Legislative representation. Vote!
Welcome to the world of Nikki Haley!!! And Mark Sanford was too worried about screwing whores to care... Haley is too worried about Israel so there ya go
Colored politicians dont care,they wont live in the ghetto but will make every state with HUD ghettos.It all a scam.They want people to riot to get more benefits while they get rich,eventually the white taxpayer money will run out for the colored women to have 5 to 10 kids who wind up carjacking,selling drugs , stolen guns and robbing stores all to keep the prisons full,lol
Angela S excuse me. If the city is looking so bad, you should look at the mayor. Compare to Greenville, they have the same governor but the city is booming. Why? Because the mayor fights for the city and tries to help the city.
catwithoutthe hat and the mayors before him were not doing a good job either. Sorry to say if you are a Democrat, but they all were democrats. I think Columbia should take a chance and try something different. We have nothing to lose. If we go the same path, we will be doomed.
@catwithoutthe hat I understand what you say. I wouldn't put rich vs poor. I think is greedy polititians vs citizens. I agree, there is corruption on both main parties but I have observed that democrats are ruining many cities already. More than Reps. Look at Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, San Francisco. Democrats don't know how to be fiscally conservative. They don't know how to improve the cities they lead.
@@southernwayscga1630 I been walking in these as of late and outside of trash and an old old run down look and a few shit hotels, I like it a lot. This is a safe place even in the "bad" spots.
@@Frezorare That seems to hold things together indeed and I think the fact its not an extreme coastal area helps.. St Pete is worse than this for instance.
@@LongLeggedOne what places do you recommend staying away from pcsing down there like a heads up where to not go. But I ain't stupid either I grew up in south flat cali and it was tough. Drive by, burglaries, poor just stealing from poor, people up all night, couldn't walk alone, super hard life but when people would move there we didn't fuck with them. A we didn't want them in our business and 2 if they start shit won't be shit. Anytime I move to a new location I just keep to myself and go about my buisness. But that won't mean you won't get those little shits looking for something like my car being broken into smfh, and flitting my tires for no fucking reason. I like to stay from areas who act like this dont care if its run down as long as its a respect thing you know keep to yourself you're good type thing.
I actually live in Irmo, SC which is like 15 minutes outside of Columbia, SC the capital. I’ve never actually seen how bad some of the neighborhoods could get and although a lot of these people are poor, most of them are very friendly people.
i lived in orangeburg sc for 4 yrs and never had any problems.most were broke like myself! just good country black folks who'd give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it but if you ever crossed them or fucked with their family(i did neither of them) you could come up missing and the police would never find your ass!😊
I lived in Columbia for 15 years and these areas are not the HOOD!!!!! If you did not go through Saxon Homes by Allen University or Green St. behind MLK park, you haven't seen shit there... these are dream areas compared to what you show up North... AND you can always count on Southerners to be courteous, dude waving you through at the 4 way would never happen up there with you Yankees.... yewwwwww Southern Hospitality even in the ghetto - gotta love it!!!!
Right I'm in spartanburg SC now and it looks the same unless you're be the courthouse. Just moved from west Charlotte and by far got everything beat called a "hood" down here and grew up in BMORE where my crib was the only one not boarded up on the entire block lol this lil ride is a joke
Bro you're getting around the country! Damn.. Killing it in South Carolina. Interested hoods and housing out there.. Those potholes are huge.. Keep it up, your still inspiring me to keep drivin!
It's funny. I deliver and install appliance's in Columbia and I saw 5 or more houses I've delivered to. All the people I've ran into have been extremely nice. And the old lady's that have owned and lived in some of these houses for years and years are some of the sweetest people you will ever met. If you go inside they have their home's set up and decorated as good or better than any rich person I've delivered to. And I've delivered and installed for a bunch of rich people. It's all how you choose to live your life. Moneys just a bonus.
LOL that's what I was just writing 😂😂 I'm in spartanburg now. Just moved here from west Charlotte and grew up in BMORE.. this lil ride they on is a joke
This is the result of Jim Crow laws, closed factories, poor schools, and welfare. Blacks moved out from the farming areas when jobs were plentyful near the cities. These areas were mostly populated by whites. And as they prospered and moved on to newer homes, newer communities, then the blacks moved in. Then in the 70's everything went bust. Factoies closed, drugs use increased, then gangs. Smart black kids were bullied out of the schools. Blacks that had education and owned their own business moved out. Whites at the same level usually end up outside of town in trailer parks. The sad part is folks that complain about EBT cards don't say crap when corporations that left these areas are given billions in tax credits. This is not going to change, its getting worse. Walmart is testing a robotic janitorial system, grocery stores are introducing curb side service. The difference between Trump and Obama, Obama understood this trend and tried to move the country toward a new direction, BUT Trump and the MAGA campaign want the old America back, where factories were strong and middle clsss prospered. GM just said NO to that! NO Education NO Jobs...it doesn't matter if your Black or White.
Looks like right off two notch road. You got close to some areas where fire/emt refuse to go unless escorted. Nearby there was a brand new development the city spent tens of millions on that was n i c e... Within 6 mo it was destroyed. Metal hand railing, man hole covers, shutters, a/c units and even plants and trees were stolen.
You didn't spell it wrong...you used it wrong. Just wanted to make sure you knew. You probably get two, too and to wrong, as a lot of people do as well. You're spelling is good but your grammar use is not. Carry on..
Craig Barnum ...Actually, for what I needed to describe I spelled it wrong. They are two different meanings. No, I do not misuse too and two. Nevertheless, thank you for the correction.
Damn what you doing just going around in circles. If you GO to the trailer Parks, you'll see the other hoods, where the whites folks live, video tape that the next time.
this is "the hood"? really.. nicer than any neighborhood here.. lots of grass and trees.. wide road to drive on.. every house has a decent sized yard.. no fences on the properties, no bars on the windows..
Charles Xavier Columbia is the country version of the city remember SC is the south so it's going to look different this is like what you see on the other side of the white house when you visit DC
Charles Xavier yes I lived there for 2 years and that same area and it was nice and quiet they got a fishing area no police and I'm coming from Baltimore so it look good to me they even have a wildlife in that area I didn't call that ago they got nice house in those areas also white and blacks live in that area I never had a problem
I'm from New Zealand and I must say at least those houses look tidy unlike some of the houses in low social economic areas here in New Zealand....I never judge people living situation just glad they got something they can call home...
I see this town has kept a lot of their housing projects......up in Columbus and Dayton, almost all of the really bad housing projects have been torn down
At least those home's have spaces between them come to California and see how everything is smashed together and you will know why people are getting sick n tired of the politicians telling people how to live
@@iyannalangford1565 that is the last place you want to live out side of SF like Concord, Antioch , Fairfeild, Vacavill, Wayward, Nials Fremont maybe would be better off even rent would be lower price or buying. Don't get me wrong way up North are some really nice places but you would have to be close to retiring or have employment to survive really beautiful home's country style off grid or on grid living. There's no corner store pretty much you'll be shopping for the month then going home people see each other maybe one's a month or everyday if you go to the local BAR.
I live in Columbia, SC but not a native. I just want to say you are in a lower income area of Columbia but you were not in the "hood". Mostly old homes with a income based area but good people with kids and low education.
I love Columbia, SC! It’s really a nice place to live, but like any city it has some rough areas. I was born and raised here I have never left. I grew up in the Windsor Lake subdivision in Dentsville/Arcadia Lakes (the old northeast Columbia). My father grew up in Saxon Homes (now torn down) near the old Drew Park and Hollywood Hills (North Columbia).
At 8:50 I think I see coming up a city park on the left. then you come to the stop sign. I think that's Pinehurst Rd. and School House Rd. across the intersection. If you turn left you come to Harrison Rd. Man I haven't seen that park since I was a kid in the 1970s. If that's the park, they built a bigger building. I can't tell but it used to have a sprinkler pool. Good times back then. Sometimes we used to walk to school at WA Perry, I wonder if that's still around.
I grew up off trenholm about 2 minutes away from decker blvd and dentsville. And decker/parklane/two notch can be super rough but it seems to be getting a little better at least from when I was a kid.
I always thought the people standing outside EVERY liquor store were employees waiting to begin working their shift inside the store. I just didnt understand why they didnt shower before coming to work.
I'm from Modesto, CA but moved a few years ago to Swansea, SC (bout 20 min from Columbia) and was amazed to see the difference in ghetto areas here versus in Cali... Waaaay worse in Cali....I think the biggest thing out here is abandoned buildings and so many millions of trailers... They're everywhere!
I used to cop dope in this very hood. It’s a miracle I wasn’t killed. Can’t believe there are no people walking the streets. It used to be a very busy place. 24/7. Glad those days are over. Reminds me of the worst time in my life.
Having lived in South Carolina while in my teens I always wanted to move back as I’m in Philadelphia currently and the rents are ridiculous , that and being on SSDI plus maybe it’s just a different environment, but then I think maybe the South is just like here idk.
I’m from Columbia also and some of these places I’ve never seen before but most I have. I grew up in Hendly Homes but it’s been torn down and new homes were built. Lots of Ola es are considered the good until folks start seeing potential in it and move most folks out to build it up for others
My mom and dad lived there when they got married my older brother went to Booker t highschool down the hill on Rosewood you hit Olimpia hello to all in my old neighborhood
Some of these homes were built in the 1940s. Alot of history here. I'm sure there are family's that have been in the community since that time. They pay taxes and the city won't fix the pot holes. This could be a flourishing town if leadership can bring business in the town without displacing the people.
Hey love I appreciate wat you're trying to do in giving us veiwers the insight into some of these low income housing areas..Hey if you're ever further down low in South Carolina I'm from a hood call Eutawville I would really like for My people to see wats going on there... Many Blessings To you My Brother ❣️
OMG, born and raised around these parts. Joined the navy and refused to return but never forgot where i came from......i still share my memories with my children. Well, what's left of my children. RIP: Ashia T. Williams age 27
I live in Columbia and these parts are like the third world. There's just an acceptance by everyone that this is how it has been and always will be. Fucking tragic.
Columbia native here. At about the 9:00 mark you go by Pinehurst Park. I went to kindergarten in the rec building there (since rebuilt) in 1959 when that park and the neighborhood were all white. in the mid-1990s I was a debit insurance agent and worked that same neighborhood, almost all black by then. I sn't that Washington Carver Village where you start out? That has been an infamous ghetto for years. I saw a similar video last night but you get much more into the worst hoods than the other guy did. As another poster said, I don't know how you come out alive from some of them.
My great aunt and great uncle lived in eau claire- when it started going downhill they bought some land past blythewood in cedar creek- they didn't want to leave their house to the hood so they actually hired a company to bring their house with them!
Eau Claire was another neighborhood turned hood that I worked in the insurance route in the 90s. I think it went down as soon as school busing started. I lived in a couple of places in the 80s. It was not bad back then for people just out of college and not concerned with schools for the children. Speaking of schools, Lutheran Seminary, Columbia College, and Columbia International University kept that area from going down more and sooner.
Who are you looking for? Susan Smith she lives in Columbia on Broad River Rd. The same place you need to go for this. Could you drive around all the Catholic Cathedrals and start filming white male Priest?
These are hoods in columbia... this is not N.MAIN area... Y'all talking bout houses and nice yards, but these ppl don't own the land nor the house.. and don't go over there thinking it's sweet bc getting shot is a strong possibility around those parts. 💯 ~got 💜 for the ☝side~
@Bonnie D. Writer I know where this is Palmetto Terrence across the railroad tracks is C.A Johnson where my mother went 2 school and farrow rd on the corner the used 2 B hot spot literally I'm from 215 OL'G BYRNSWOOD...just reppin
@justmyopinion ur comment is gone, but I got the notification..i have stayed all over Columbia as well, And one thing is for sure, if u go to certain parts thinking it's sweet it's a high possibility of u getting shot! Like u said, if u mind yo damn business u good! And i know that for a fact!
SNOOP U 2 Just left da bay and Oakland! Y'all can keep dem hills and shit! Ima stay in $€! Love y'all plugs tho and dat californication 💘! #metrobaby #rivaside #Shawtybris
Money Marv I don't own anything we are all here temporary so I have to make the best of my surroundings most of my family and friends are here or in California, I have visited many other places that was much much worse home is were the heart is at, stay cool have a great Memorial day watch the kids if they are around water swimming.
Money Marv COOL! The thing about the suburbs is the homes are so closed together the homes in this video at least they have space between them and I don't knock people's home's at least they have a home. Here in California there are so many people without right under the freeway of 80 in Oakland a whole town of homeless population under the freeway that should be filmed and the politicians should be called on it it's in every town city
Money Marv if you was to make a music video write one of the homeless and have the homeless camps in your videos have a lot of them there is no shortages and that would be real no one has done a rap or anything like that I bet if you or someone did it they would be a hit over night everyone would be talking about it! Everyone that done a video talks about getting that money or bling there is that harsh reality it seems like the politicians are making money off the homeless just think about all the donations of money that is given someone is skimming from the top. They want to let more people in the country and we can't even help out are fellow Homeless American's. Right now every empty space they will build on it and that's what they are doing right now if you are a carpenter there is no shortage of work they are building everywhere Sanoma country where it burned down in Napa valley California they are rebuilding that whole wine country to make it into a tourist attraction? People from all over the world visit there and most of the farm land has grape vine fields every farm land going from the Northen all the way southern California.
Never understood what is so bad about these homes. I lived in an apartment building in queens NY and would of killed for a house with grass and a yard. The problem is they are not cared for. But the houses are better than where I grew up. Take care of your shit.
Chadwicked B hell no gas ain't free at either one. And no Obama don't pay for we tax payers do and to be real Indians and arabs run these stores and they ain't giving up shit unless u a regular and u STILL gotta pay
I am thinking of moving from Reading Pa to South Carolina...Fore Street Columbia-do you know if that’s a good or bad part of town...buying a house there...
Buying a lot of those metal plates to put over the potholes instead of actually fixing them. Seriously they will use those plates for months instead of actually fixing it. I’m born and raised in Columbia and been here for 25 years and the roads have always been horrible
Lmbo at the COMMENTS I live in Columbia COLA I'm from Philly. Its amazing the things humans will watch. Thanks for entertaining us OBVIOUSLY you can't drive in Every single street in every Single hood but you're doing a good job for FREE. There are lots of beautiful and NOT so beautiful places in Columbia . And the people are 95% Pleasant :-) thanks again
Thank you very much before I seen this video I had no documentation or pictures of my grandmothers house before they tore it down but now I do you went right pass her house on Carver Street off of Farrow Rd. once again thank you very much because they have torn it down now
Alright, so here's the real deal I'm not usually that inclined to leave comments on here due to the fact of others and their opinions at times. However, I had to speak out on this because I am a native of Columbia, SC born and raised. No offense to the individual filming this, but you chose to film a particular area that has simply been ran down over the years, with some respectable people that still live there side by side, has resided there at some point or either raised in that area. The place being filmed, was or still is known as being called, Howell Court. Most of it is Booker street, and Carver street, where decent families have once thrived and probably still is I'm sure. Now I know for a fact, that just a block or two around the corner there's other places that could have easily been deemed as being quite "hood", along with a few other close by neighborhoods up the road...yet, there has been improvements within these places, and meaningful life dwells there also. It's cool that these videos are made showing the darker sides of what life can be like in some lower class "considered" places. However, instead of filming certain areas just for show, go to the really hard down places, and talk about how rough life can get/be for other individuals and maybe even discussing ways of uniting to bring forth some kind of equitable change within the black community. I'm not trying to rant and rave on about it, just saying...It's my opinion is all, and no other intents besides.
Yeah I don’t think whoever is filming this wants to go to Gonzalez gardens and strike up a discussion lol. But it does shine a light on how bad our roads are here in Columbia though. I’ve hit way too many potholes and have seen metal plates being used longer than just a temporary fix and it’s ridiculous
Hard to say, would have to really think on that one. The contenders would be Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark, New Orleans, and Camden.
Big Timer A big city that gets my nod is Newark. But I'm gonna include a very small town many people don't know about is Kinston NC aka K raq. At night those hoods will scare the shit out of you!
Last year I got the chance to drive through Detroit and I must say it was a sad sight. Even more heartbreaking is that it used to be the 5th largest city in the nation around the late 70s early 80s. I've never been to St Louis but have been to east Cleveland and Camden and let me tell you, it was a nightmare!
kbw1970 New Orleans is doing better but in the east there are tons of abandon shops, houses, churches, there’s even an entire mall and amusement park abandon Jazzland, which was bought by six flags and is still standing (abandoned) no one cares about that in city government. The east is also a Warzone along with centeral city and other parts of Nola. New Orlean ‘s crime has not decreased we have already have 50 murders and it isn’t even April,
E. Smith I live there from Baltimore for two years in that area I loved it it was quiet it had wildlife animals hit head ponds fishing areas Woods it was the best ghetto I ever seen I didn't even know it was ghetto that's why I moved there it was really nice people are nice I liked it

Did you have a guy who was a French model as well?
I actually saw a few homes that was quite
Pretty ,
A few the brick homes looked nice,
And few the wooden ones too ,
Some looked very much like some of the old style coal houses we have here in The Appalachian Mountains,
They would surprise you ,
You think they fall down with the slightest wind ,
But a lot very sturdy,
And like these homes ,
And their caretakers,
You can't judge them
From the outside,
Those houses are gems just waiting to be polished up,
I prefer older homes ,
They've proven themselves with their endurance of time ,
Might need a bit maintenance,
But many prove to outlast some modern ones ,
My opinion of course !💁
Maybe I’m biased (I’m from S.C.) or maybe it’s the trees and grass, but S.C. hoods look a lot more pleasant than a lot of the other hoods on this channel.

Angela S excuse me. If the city is looking so bad, you should look at the mayor. Compare to Greenville, they have the same governor but the city is booming. Why? Because the mayor fights for the city and tries to help the city.
catwithoutthe hat and the mayors before him were not doing a good job either. Sorry to say if you are a Democrat, but they all were democrats. I think Columbia should take a chance and try something different. We have nothing to lose. If we go the same path, we will be doomed.
@catwithoutthe hat I understand what you say. I wouldn't put rich vs poor. I think is greedy polititians vs citizens. I agree, there is corruption on both main parties but I have observed that democrats are ruining many cities already. More than Reps. Look at Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, San Francisco. Democrats don't know how to be fiscally conservative. They don't know how to improve the cities they lead.
Other than a few potholes this is one of the cleaness hoods I've ever seen.. much Respect to the people of these areas 💯❣️
They not the safest tho believe that.
@@southernwayscga1630 I been walking in these as of late and outside of trash and an old old run down look and a few shit hotels, I like it a lot. This is a safe place even in the "bad" spots.
@@LongLeggedOne we smart we don’t beef with people we don’t even know or got problems witb
@@Frezorare That seems to hold things together indeed and I think the fact its not an extreme coastal area helps.. St Pete is worse than this for instance.
@@LongLeggedOne what places do you recommend staying away from pcsing down there like a heads up where to not go. But I ain't stupid either I grew up in south flat cali and it was tough. Drive by, burglaries, poor just stealing from poor, people up all night, couldn't walk alone, super hard life but when people would move there we didn't fuck with them. A we didn't want them in our business and 2 if they start shit won't be shit. Anytime I move to a new location I just keep to myself and go about my buisness. But that won't mean you won't get those little shits looking for something like my car being broken into smfh, and flitting my tires for no fucking reason. I like to stay from areas who act like this dont care if its run down as long as its a respect thing you know keep to yourself you're good type thing.
I actually live in Irmo, SC which is like 15 minutes outside of Columbia, SC the capital. I’ve never actually seen how bad some of the neighborhoods could get and although a lot of these people are poor, most of them are very friendly people.
that neighborhood isn't that bad,go to Anderson SC,alphabet Street,youll see little Detroit!
Home of the Okra Strut! Yellow Jacket or Silver Fox?
StupidRalph Yellow Jacket!!
i lived in orangeburg sc for 4 yrs and never had any problems.most were broke like myself! just good country black folks who'd give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it but if you ever crossed them or fucked with their family(i did neither of them) you could come up missing and the police would never find your ass!😊
Rick Thang so true I worked I Anderson for 4 months!
I lived in Columbia for 15 years and these areas are not the HOOD!!!!! If you did not go through Saxon Homes by Allen University or Green St. behind MLK park, you haven't seen shit there... these are dream areas compared to what you show up North...
AND you can always count on Southerners to be courteous, dude waving you through at the 4 way would never happen up there with you Yankees.... yewwwwww Southern Hospitality even in the ghetto - gotta love it!!!!
Angela S this is definitely the hood it’s just not all of them.
The colonys🤔
You said it bro! Things have gotten ALLOT better.. If this channel was out years ago, it woulda been worth it
Angela S u r absolutely right Allen and Benedict college area is hood
Right I'm in spartanburg SC now and it looks the same unless you're be the courthouse. Just moved from west Charlotte and by far got everything beat called a "hood" down here and grew up in BMORE where my crib was the only one not boarded up on the entire block lol this lil ride is a joke

Got nothin on 864
Bro you're getting around the country! Damn.. Killing it in South Carolina. Interested hoods and housing out there.. Those potholes are huge.. Keep it up, your still inspiring me to keep drivin!
These areas are not too far apart. Charlotte, Sumter, Columbia. I may do one or two more places before I leave the area. I'm still in Columbia.
Very cool man. Im heading up to Jackson tomorrow and the delta to hit the little towns in MS. Looking forward to more of your uploads. Drive safe!
You going to the West Coast any time soon?
THE601 Really appreciate Charlie showing the different places!
Yeah! Hes been a big inspiration.. He goes everywhere I cant lol
It's funny. I deliver and install appliance's in Columbia and I saw 5 or more houses I've delivered to. All the people I've ran into have been extremely nice. And the old lady's that have owned and lived in some of these houses for years and years are some of the sweetest people you will ever met. If you go inside they have their home's set up and decorated as good or better than any rich person I've delivered to. And I've delivered and installed for a bunch of rich people. It's all how you choose to live your life. Moneys just a bonus.
Come to Greenville & Spartanburg Sc
Nh3rdSt Jam SPARTANBURG IN THS HOUSE
Greenville got that weed farm
Greenville where it's at!
LOL that's what I was just writing 😂😂 I'm in spartanburg now. Just moved here from west Charlotte and grew up in BMORE.. this lil ride they on is a joke
Lmao😣👍👍im n Greenville sc RN BEEN here 3 years
This is the result of Jim Crow laws, closed factories, poor schools, and welfare. Blacks moved out from the farming areas when jobs were plentyful near the cities. These areas were mostly populated by whites. And as they prospered and moved on to newer homes, newer communities, then the blacks moved in. Then in the 70's everything went bust. Factoies closed, drugs use increased, then gangs. Smart black kids were bullied out of the schools. Blacks that had education and owned their own business moved out. Whites at the same level usually end up outside of town in trailer parks. The sad part is folks that complain about EBT cards don't say crap when corporations that left these areas are given billions in tax credits. This is not going to change, its getting worse. Walmart is testing a robotic janitorial system, grocery stores are introducing curb side service. The difference between Trump and Obama, Obama understood this trend and tried to move the country toward a new direction, BUT Trump and the MAGA campaign want the old America back, where factories were strong and middle clsss prospered. GM just said NO to that! NO Education NO Jobs...it doesn't matter if your Black or White.
He basically only went down a couple of streets. He didnt even go thru the three seperate projects across the street
Marion Berry
I'm from this city..... these areas are alot more dangerous then they appear in this video can't say I blame em
Looks like right off two notch road. You got close to some areas where fire/emt refuse to go unless escorted. Nearby there was a brand new development the city spent tens of millions on that was n i c e... Within 6 mo it was destroyed. Metal hand railing, man hole covers, shutters, a/c units and even plants and trees were stolen.
Pick up the trash and plant some grass it would be a descent neighborhood. It's missing tlc the potential is there.
What is a "descent" neighborhood? It's "decent" CB..."decent"..Sheesh
Craig Barnum ...Wow, I made an error in spelling. I had no idea someone's life depended on adding a letter where it didn't belong.
You didn't spell it wrong...you used it wrong. Just wanted to make sure you knew. You probably get two, too and to wrong, as a lot of people do as well. You're spelling is good but your grammar use is not. Carry on..
Craig Barnum ...Actually, for what I needed to describe I spelled it wrong. They are two different meanings. No, I do not misuse too and two. Nevertheless, thank you for the correction.
Craig Barnum that's what I say come to California and you will see some million dollar shacks! Pretty rough neighborhoods
Burned down houses seem to make a neighborhood look even worse.
Damn what you doing just going around in circles. If you GO to the trailer Parks, you'll see the other hoods, where the whites folks live, video tape that the next time.
David Burrell now you know damn well t hst doesn't fit the agenda
Agon Leed Yeah the trailer Parks are worst🤔
David Burrell RIGHT
they wont do that cause the trailer trash methheads are paranoid as hell and psychotic!😄
"Black man" is an oxymoron.
this is "the hood"? really.. nicer than any neighborhood here.. lots of grass and trees.. wide road to drive on.. every house has a decent sized yard.. no fences on the properties, no bars on the windows..
Charles Xavier Columbia is the country version of the city remember SC is the south so it's going to look different this is like what you see on the other side of the white house when you visit DC
Charles Xavier yes I lived there for 2 years and that same area and it was nice and quiet they got a fishing area no police and I'm coming from Baltimore so it look good to me they even have a wildlife in that area I didn't call that ago they got nice house in those areas also white and blacks live in that area I never had a problem
where you live at, cuz i live near D block saxx 5s and that shit crazy.
I'm from New Zealand and I must say at least those houses look tidy unlike some of the houses in low social economic areas here in New Zealand....I never judge people living situation just glad they got something they can call home...
What part of NZ are you from??
I see this town has kept a lot of their housing projects......up in Columbus and Dayton, almost all of the really bad housing projects have been torn down
This place got cleaned up so good! The OG's remember the green doors, gas station shootout, and two notch prostitution,

At least those home's have spaces between them come to California and see how everything is smashed together and you will know why people are getting sick n tired of the politicians telling people how to live
Move to the south bruh, it's nun but love down here
D Scrilla right but I’m trynna move to San Francisco
@@iyannalangford1565 that is the last place you want to live out side of SF like Concord, Antioch , Fairfeild, Vacavill, Wayward, Nials Fremont maybe would be better off even rent would be lower price or buying. Don't get me wrong way up North are some really nice places but you would have to be close to retiring or have employment to survive really beautiful home's country style off grid or on grid living. There's no corner store pretty much you'll be shopping for the month then going home people see each other maybe one's a month or everyday if you go to the local BAR.
California my ass come to nyc and see how close the houses are
What is the reason 4 this video? Don't 4 get the white ran down areas too.
Charisse Middleton exactly
Charisse Middleton why couldn’t this been a white neighborhood
I lived in the Highlands in Northeast Cola, it was a decent middle class neighborhood. A lot of army familys stationed at Jackson stay there
I live in Columbia, SC but not a native. I just want to say you are in a lower income area of Columbia but you were not in the "hood". Mostly old homes with a income based area but good people with kids and low education.
you live in the nice area then.
Looks like Farrow rd off of two notch rd. Shit i live a few blocks away and i hear gunshots there every night.
I love Columbia, SC! It’s really a nice place to live, but like any city it has some rough areas. I was born and raised here I have never left. I grew up in the Windsor Lake subdivision in Dentsville/Arcadia Lakes (the old northeast Columbia). My father grew up in Saxon Homes (now torn down) near the old Drew Park and Hollywood Hills (North Columbia).
At 8:50 I think I see coming up a city park on the left. then you come to the stop sign. I think that's Pinehurst Rd. and School House Rd. across the intersection. If you turn left you come to Harrison Rd. Man I haven't seen that park since I was a kid in the 1970s. If that's the park, they built a bigger building. I can't tell but it used to have a sprinkler pool. Good times back then. Sometimes we used to walk to school at WA Perry, I wonder if that's still around.
im from mill run in dentsville area
I grew up off trenholm about 2 minutes away from decker blvd and dentsville. And decker/parklane/two notch can be super rough but it seems to be getting a little better at least from when I was a kid.
I always thought the people standing outside EVERY liquor store were employees waiting to begin working their shift inside the store.
I just didnt understand why they didnt shower before coming to work.
I'm from jersey city nj live in SC and go to Columbia every other weekend and its one of my favorite cities
They need to ride on Monticello Ave and Ocean in JERSEY CITY to see real hood at night...lol From Jersey to SC myself
ceeskilz money factz bro they aint gone go tho gotta be built Ford tough frfr
Three Amigos Rap game
True indeed
Damn when the hot spot turned into oboma I moved outta the Met almost 20 yrs ago I miss the city tho
I'm from Modesto, CA but moved a few years ago to Swansea, SC (bout 20 min from Columbia) and was amazed to see the difference in ghetto areas here versus in Cali... Waaaay worse in Cali....I think the biggest thing out here is abandoned buildings and so many millions of trailers... They're everywhere!
shut ya white suburban modesto ass up. i been to cali and aint shit but palms trees...lame ass moved to swansea from cali..who does that
I used to cop dope in this very hood. It’s a miracle I wasn’t killed. Can’t believe there are no people walking the streets. It used to be a very busy place. 24/7.
Glad those days are over. Reminds me of the worst time in my life.
beautiful, did you see any for sale sign?
Having lived in South Carolina while in my teens I always wanted to move back as I’m in Philadelphia currently and the rents are ridiculous , that and being on SSDI plus maybe it’s just a different environment, but then I think maybe the South is just like here idk.
I don't even go in the city no more and I'm form the hood and I ain't trying to go back ✌
That “what’s up boy lol” straight country man.. I got family out there in sc I been to the south once and I can’t stand the slow pace
I got chills at 0:20 if you really from the met you know what time it is when you come thru.......
TVG EBT the bottoms 0:20 shot out big gaddi
Nothing is worst the bluff rode area "48" or the bishop. I lived in Columbia for 6 years going to high school down there I know
@@yoshithegod5837 North main, hollywood hills, colonies and the bishop... Shit no just cruising through there at night time.
I used to live in the house right behind the church over here. People was cool. A lotta over exaggeration bit that's the Metro for you.
I’m from
Columbia also and some of these places I’ve never seen before but most I have. I grew up in Hendly Homes but it’s been torn down and new homes were built. Lots of Ola es are considered the good until folks start seeing potential in it and move most folks out to build it up for others
My mom and dad lived there when they got married my older brother went to Booker t highschool down the hill on Rosewood you hit Olimpia hello to all in my old neighborhood
Some of these homes were built in the 1940s. Alot of history here. I'm sure there are family's that have been in the community since that time. They pay taxes and the city won't fix the pot holes. This could be a flourishing town if leadership can bring business in the town without displacing the people.
Man u aint went to NMain the Bishop the colonies you aint went to Pinehurst its so many places harder than what you recorded bruh
Everywhere you go has good parts. No matter where even Canada.
Hey love I appreciate wat you're trying to do in giving us veiwers the insight into some of these low income housing areas..Hey if you're ever further down low in South Carolina I'm from a hood call Eutawville I would really like for My people to see wats going on there... Many Blessings To you My Brother ❣️
We see this one live P.D. lol s.c is off Tha chain
K Dawgg I’m dying yooo 😂😂
OMG, born and raised around these parts. Joined the navy and refused to return but never forgot where i came from......i still share my memories with my children. Well, what's left of my children. RIP: Ashia T. Williams age 27
South Carolina hoods looks alot better than hoods in the Bronx haha
Johnnie James So true
sorry to inform you, but your little town of columbiam sc, aint got shit on detroit, michigan
I live in Columbia and these parts are like the third world. There's just an acceptance by everyone that this is how it has been and always will be. Fucking tragic.
You need to come checkout dillon south carolina....I saw that you were in Marion the past weekend I even saw my ole lady and her sister on your video
Columbia native here. At about the 9:00 mark you go by Pinehurst Park. I went to kindergarten in the rec building there (since rebuilt) in 1959 when that park and the neighborhood were all white. in the mid-1990s I was a debit insurance agent and worked that same neighborhood, almost all black by then. I
sn't that Washington Carver Village where you start out? That has been an infamous ghetto for years.
I saw a similar video last night but you get much more into the worst hoods than the other guy did. As another poster said, I don't know how you come out alive from some of them.
My great aunt and great uncle lived in eau claire- when it started going downhill they bought some land past blythewood in cedar creek- they didn't want to leave their house to the hood so they actually hired a company to bring their house with them!
Eau Claire was another neighborhood turned hood that I worked in the insurance route in the 90s. I think it went down as soon as school busing started. I lived in a couple of places in the 80s. It was not bad back then for people just out of college and not concerned with schools for the children. Speaking of schools, Lutheran Seminary, Columbia College, and Columbia International University kept that area from going down more and sooner.
😂😂😂people are funny....
Ive watched enough live PD to memorize rhese streets
Probably the same Obama gas station that's on LivePD.
Nathan Philpott not the same one
Nathan Philpott there's only 1 in cola
Novina Wright off north main

Patrick Carpenter ha ha ha
I’m assuming that the person filming is driving a ford with tents. That usually keeps strangers safe in certain neighborhoods
Who are you looking for? Susan Smith she lives in Columbia on Broad River Rd. The same place you need to go for this. Could you drive around all the Catholic Cathedrals and start filming white male Priest?
Marie Brown I live on broadriver
Marie Brown I live on broad river too
I lived on Farrow Rd. Stayed on main St next door to fire station as well in 95-96
Fountain Blue
I observed on all your videos that the roads are in very bad conditions, what elected officiel do?
Not a damn thing
Not much.
Should have gone to Two Notch Road, by CA Johnson High School,
Since u in sc u need to come 2 Charleston my g we got a lot of hoods from dt,the norf,west ca$h,the island etc etc etc please come 2 Charleston
milly jenkins da chuck calm down alot since more whites movin here but, we still get down if needed👍🏾#GeecheeFaLife
so people are still pretending Obomya wasn't a spineless puppet and total disappointment
These are hoods in columbia... this is not N.MAIN area... Y'all talking bout houses and nice yards, but these ppl don't own the land nor the house.. and don't go over there thinking it's sweet bc getting shot is a strong possibility around those parts. 💯 ~got 💜 for the ☝side~
@Bonnie D. Writer (215)
True Facts what about 215? This video is showing over there by c.a. johnson..
@Bonnie D. Writer I know where this is Palmetto Terrence across the railroad tracks is C.A Johnson where my mother went 2 school and farrow rd on the corner the used 2 B hot spot literally I'm from 215 OL'G BYRNSWOOD...just reppin
@justmyopinion ur comment is gone, but I got the notification..i have stayed all over Columbia as well, And one thing is for sure, if u go to certain parts thinking it's sweet it's a high possibility of u getting shot! Like u said, if u mind yo damn business u good! And i know that for a fact!
True Facts Exactly, that area is low income not hood smh.
WoW! I lived in Columbia for 19 years and I have no clue where this is
Farrow rd
Damn it’s crazy looking at this on RUclips. I grew up in that area! Some of my cousins still live in the C.A. Johnson area. Wow!
Marq Mac They build some nice ass houses over by Johnson now.
It honestly pisses me off how when I search up "Columbia" the University pops up. This is the only Columbia.
Come to Charleston South Carolina it’s way more action
843 all day

My aunt stay up there on 0:37 haven't been there in yrs 👌🏾
This doesn't look so bad country style homes come to California bay area you will see million dollar shacks
SNOOP U 2 Just left da bay and Oakland! Y'all can keep dem hills and shit! Ima stay in $€! Love y'all plugs tho and dat californication 💘! #metrobaby #rivaside #Shawtybris
Money Marv I don't own anything we are all here temporary so I have to make the best of my surroundings most of my family and friends are here or in California, I have visited many other places that was much much worse home is were the heart is at, stay cool have a great Memorial day watch the kids if they are around water swimming.
U 2 shawty! Music coming soon 2! Stay tuned! Ima b in Cali a lot tho! I fukx wit y'all! #yallkuntry2tho
Money Marv COOL! The thing about the suburbs is the homes are so closed together the homes in this video at least they have space between them and I don't knock people's home's at least they have a home. Here in California there are so many people without right under the freeway of 80 in Oakland a whole town of homeless population under the freeway that should be filmed and the politicians should be called on it it's in every town city
Money Marv if you was to make a music video write one of the homeless and have the homeless camps in your videos have a lot of them there is no shortages and that would be real no one has done a rap or anything like that I bet if you or someone did it they would be a hit over night everyone would be talking about it! Everyone that done a video talks about getting that money or bling there is that harsh reality it seems like the politicians are making money off the homeless just think about all the donations of money that is given someone is skimming from the top. They want to let more people in the country and we can't even help out are fellow Homeless American's. Right now every empty space they will build on it and that's what they are doing right now if you are a carpenter there is no shortage of work they are building everywhere Sanoma country where it burned down in Napa valley California they are rebuilding that whole wine country to make it into a tourist attraction? People from all over the world visit there and most of the farm land has grape vine fields every farm land going from the Northen all the way southern California.
This is the ghetto? Wow, the hood in SC is like a 5 star resort near me.
Thank you for showing me places I couldn't show myself.
HarlemGirlLost87 very insightful! Sexy too. Lol
Never understood what is so bad about these homes. I lived in an apartment building in queens NY and would of killed for a house with grass and a yard. The problem is they are not cared for. But the houses are better than where I grew up. Take care of your shit.
The vehicle road souinds are tight, it gives you a true sense of the territory
An Obama gas station! Really!!
Ellen MC We have 2of those
i hate this part of town, i'm from lexington and i can't stand columbia
Ellen MC there are 2 Obama gas stations in Columbia
Ellen MC LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Chadwicked B hell no gas ain't free at either one. And no Obama don't pay for we tax payers do and to be real Indians and arabs run these stores and they ain't giving up shit unless u a regular and u STILL gotta pay
Lived here all my life aint never been to that part yet but i stay in west Columbia
I am thinking of moving from Reading Pa to South Carolina...Fore Street Columbia-do you know if that’s a good or bad part of town...buying a house there...
I must ask..... What was the purpose?? Except to embarrass Judah and show off the curse as stated in Deuteronomy 28:21-68.
I’m from Sydney and the amount of potholes on the road is shocking! What’s the council doing with tax payers money?
Buying a lot of those metal plates to put over the potholes instead of actually fixing them. Seriously they will use those plates for months instead of actually fixing it. I’m born and raised in Columbia and been here for 25 years and the roads have always been horrible
Should of went to bluff rd
Starlite and Eastway park look pretty much the same.
Should have driven behind Benedict.
Lmbo at the COMMENTS I live in Columbia COLA I'm from Philly. Its amazing the things humans will watch. Thanks for entertaining us OBVIOUSLY you can't drive in Every single street in every Single hood but you're doing a good job for FREE. There are lots of beautiful and NOT so beautiful places in Columbia . And the people are 95% Pleasant :-) thanks again
I'm from Indy and I've been as far south as Georgia. I love the south if it wasn't for the snakes I'd be living somewhere in the south.
What up nap town in here!! Where you from?
Thank you very much before I seen this video I had no documentation or pictures of my grandmothers house before they tore it down but now I do you went right pass her house on Carver Street off of Farrow Rd. once again thank you very much because they have torn it down now
Alright, so here's the real deal I'm not usually that inclined to leave comments on here due to the fact of others and their opinions at times. However, I had to speak out on this because I am a native of Columbia, SC born and raised. No offense to the individual filming this, but you chose to film a particular area that has simply been ran down over the years, with some respectable people that still live there side by side, has resided there at some point or either raised in that area. The place being filmed, was or still is known as being called, Howell Court. Most of it is Booker street, and Carver street, where decent families have once thrived and probably still is I'm sure. Now I know for a fact, that just a block or two around the corner there's other places that could have easily been deemed as being quite "hood", along with a few other close by neighborhoods up the road...yet, there has been improvements within these places, and meaningful life dwells there also. It's cool that these videos are made showing the darker sides of what life can be like in some lower class "considered" places. However, instead of filming certain areas just for show, go to the really hard down places, and talk about how rough life can get/be for other individuals and maybe even discussing ways of uniting to bring forth some kind of equitable change within the black community. I'm not trying to rant and rave on about it, just saying...It's my opinion is all, and no other intents besides.
Its called hood he went where shit looked hood whats the problem
Yeah I don’t think whoever is filming this wants to go to Gonzalez gardens and strike up a discussion lol. But it does shine a light on how bad our roads are here in Columbia though. I’ve hit way too many potholes and have seen metal plates being used longer than just a temporary fix and it’s ridiculous
Come to ANDERSON SC. Population of about 26,000. 7 hoods, north, east, west, south side, 2 apartment complexes and certain parts of Homeland park.
These are the hoods ...please some states suburbs look like this!
u act like suburbs (city outside a big city) cant b the hood
European here,coming to columbia next week for bussines trip.Should i be scared,is there a no go places
Why did I just watched this? what was the purpose of the video anyway? 🤔
oh he was tryna find hookers and smokers and killers but we held our composure.
Man Yu ain’t show no fucking hoods way 215 at way da river at way da northeast side at?
Charlie, what’s the worst hood you’ve been too?
Hard to say, would have to really think on that one. The contenders would be Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark, New Orleans, and Camden.
CharlieBo313 thanks for doing this btw. Not all hero’s wear capes.
Big Timer A big city that gets my nod is Newark. But I'm gonna include a very small town many people don't know about is Kinston NC aka K raq. At night those hoods will scare the shit out of you!
Last year I got the chance to drive through Detroit and I must say it was a sad sight. Even more heartbreaking is that it used to be the 5th largest city in the nation around the late 70s early 80s. I've never been to St Louis but have been to east Cleveland and Camden and let me tell you, it was a nightmare!
kbw1970 New Orleans is doing better but in the east there are tons of abandon shops, houses, churches, there’s even an entire mall and amusement park abandon Jazzland, which was bought by six flags and is still standing (abandoned) no one cares about that in city government. The east is also a Warzone along with centeral city and other parts of Nola. New Orlean ‘s crime has not decreased we have already have 50 murders and it isn’t even April,
Welcome to Mad Max and The Thunder Dome... where you can always get a Night Owl and grab a foty at the Obama gas station.
Place looks dam good to me. Appears to be nice and quiet. I don' even see anyone hanging out.
E. Smith I live there from Baltimore for two years in that area I loved it it was quiet it had wildlife animals hit head ponds fishing areas Woods it was the best ghetto I ever seen I didn't even know it was ghetto that's why I moved there it was really nice people are nice I liked it
cuz live live out the pocket
Why are so many cars parked on the sidewalk or facing the wrong direction?
