I was cringing the whole time. Not only did you not go to the "roughest parts of town" , you missed out on some amazing mansions, underground railroad history, a beautiful downtown, an historic Wittenberg University campus, and other amazing things that Springfield has to offer. You went through about 2% of the city. Come back. I'll show you how much you missed. It's really an interesting place.
Yea he should came in exit 54.. that side night actiondrake few people smoke there nice murder history.. u can buy some pu$$y outside the dollar tree😂😂😂😂 just joking . Shi ain't no ruffest city. Just the dumbest u see..na this shi has got dangerous . U traveling grandma's way to the grocery store to see the nice houses.😂😂😂
It's a RUclipsr thing... people WANT to see negativity on YT.. More views, more $$...They do it in my hometown too... Like these areas are NOT the whole city .
I have never seen a bigger pile of misleading, Misinformation, in my life about the town of Springfield. You call this the most dangerous town in Ohio. You know what go to downtown Cleveland go to Cincinnati? Go to Dayton or go to Columbus. Springfield is like a wet fart compared to those. Cache me outside.. How about that? Oh, and as for your Ski nask joke. You do know you're in the middle of covid running around when doing this video right!. Lol you guys need to really stop making video's.
Springfield has been my home for 18 years and let me tell you this place does have its problems but has a huge sense of community and really is filled with good people in a bad situation
I’ve lived here basically my whole life and most the people here are thugs who like to wear their pants down to their ankles and talk about the people they’ve hurt. This place is a dumpster fire.
You don't have rusty vehicles in the south because you don't have salt on your roads to combat the snow. Please stop using the word trashy in your videos. Some people live in these places because it's all they can afford. Be kind.
Hey bro 😂guess you know the best places to live tell me the best places to get a job you suck go home we need people who give a shit not driving around putting a city down try to make a difference if you can not about better than you put your money somewhere in what the homeless instead of your gas tank your sad 😢
Facts this town may be rough but this community will back each other if we're pushed as much as I hate living here I love living here Springfield is my home and these people get on here saying we trashy come say it to our face bet they won't 😂
Dude i live in Springfield ohio all my life the crime rate here is nowhere near Dayton Columbus Cleveland or Cincinnati the south side of Springfield is bad but theres no way its the highest in the state like im getting mad watching you downgrade our city and you didn't even drive the whole city so how can you call Springfield bad
The reason they say this is because crime for population. Overall you're right but the amount of crime per population is pretty high. I live about 15 minutes from Springfield and have ran around Springfield since the early 90s when Snyder park and Easy Main Street was hopping. I've never had any problems there and have many friends there.
Anthony I agree after watching this till the end this guy did talk alot of crap and didn't do any research besides looking at a couple stats. I've got alot of friends and some family here and I live just 15 minutes away. Saying houses have bed bugs and stuff like that is BS!!! Don't get mad at people like this. Just consider the source although I was a bit aggravated myself.
Drives around way below the speed limit videoing people’s private homes to make fun of them; calls other people rude and impatient for not wanting to be behind them 😂😂😂 Y’all really don’t see that YOU’RE the jerks.
Hi there! I was just catching up on your trip to Springfield OH. When you turned off National road also 40/41 onto East High Street you missed so much! There is a beautiful rock garden Hartman rock garden, when you turned at the BP if you would of turned right then on Fountain there is a huge park called Snyder park. And you missed CJ brown Damn and reservoir. It absolutely amazing. You passed the rose monument on your right just before 68. And the castle is actually a Masonic nursing home. I’ve been here 2 years and keep finding more neat things. The next time your down, come thru again and see the above. Happy travels
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSyour corny as hell. What’s fun about seeing poor people struggling? Just because they are struggling don’t make them bad people. And if you really wanna see the hood get out your car and walk!
I was Born in 1945 and raised in Springfield, Ohio, the 50's and 60's were a magical time to be there, the downtown was a thriving and bustling area everyday of the week, I moved to California in 1970 and Lived in Oakland, the traffic sucked and the Earthquakes in the Bay area caused me to move back to Ohio in 1972. I could not believe what happened to downtown Springfield when I returned in 1972, I drove right through it (didn't even stop), and went to Middletown, O, where I had friends and stayed in Middletown for 20 years, having only planned to stay a year. In 1972 Middletown, O, was a great place it reminded me of Springfield, O, in the 50's and 60's, then Middletown degenerated into what Springfield was in 1972, I left Middletown because of the Crime, and moved to Marysville, O, in 1992, Marysville is still a nice community to live in, though we have had massive growth over the last 20 + years, but the Uptown Marysville is still nice and they haven't destroyed it like they did in Springfield and Middletown.
There’s a lot of old buildings in Springfield because the population is very small but you literally avoided the North West and North side of town where the better made homes are. Also if you would’ve turned left instead of right on East Main Street at the beginning of the video then you would’ve saw better made neighborhoods as well. It looks like you went to specific areas that don’t look appealing and avoided all of the nicer looking areas.
You drove through the worst areas in Springfield. You missed Roscommon, you missed Northridge and that whole area, you missed downtown, the Springfield history museum/old market. Springfield might not be bustling like Dayton, or Columbus or Cincinnati but it's definitely not what you're making it out to be.
You folks got close but not really into the crappy area of town - south of Pleasant St., my old stomping ground. That area is very similar to Detroit - missing and boarded up houses and buildings everywhere. Don't stop at Stop signs...just stay vigilant and roll right on through.
Springfield is trash, downtown is nice but even that is being run down. You can’t go out and enjoy any of the places you listed without risking getting mugged or killed. I don’t carry money on me because of that reasons. There is a reason springfield has one of the highest crime rates.
Come on y’all did not hit 1/4 of Springfield, Ohio. If you did you would have sought historical Springfield South High school where John “Legend” Stephens has added a theater at the Building. It does have a high crime rate as do most cities where there are no youth programs . I grew up there and attended the YMCA and the Teen Center both located on Center Street. However, the fact you feel so inclined to present a video as if it encompasses a reasonable portion of the city is jaded journalism. Get on out of my hometown with that mess!!!.
You can tell you haven’t been here in a while, Springfield south high is no longer that, it’s global impact STEM academy, which is where I went to school for a white. It was ass, and you weren’t even allowed to use the theater😂 we used it like once a year for a talent show. This place has gotten a lot worse over the years. The school looks nice, but wait till you see the amount of memorials they have because of all their students being gunned down or dying in horrible ways. They have literal grief counseling for that reason. And look around the school because everywhere around it looks like a dump.
Somebody whos from Springfield but didnt get to live there their whole life its one of the coolest experiences seeing the city for me was like seeing something new all the people places make Springfield interesting everybody has been chill to me ever since i got there and when they weren't it was cause they were correcting me this city isn't bad its real people with different lifes that only they and them understand you think its trash because you dont live that life you dont try to get and understand there life you just past threw seeing what looks good and bad it dont mean the people are bad just cause it looks bad i work everyday in this city and everybody i work with is about there respect, family and happiness
You were right you really didn’t go to the worst parts of town you got close. But thank you for the video I’m originally from Springfield I’ve been living in Texas now for 22 years haven’t been back there for at least 18 years so it was like a walk down memory lane you actually went by a house that I lived in for a while on W. High St. it really does look like the town has went downhill a lot. But it was still nice seeing Springfield again brought back a lot of old memories so Thank you!!
Dropped in on Springfield last year at Christmas time while traveling at the down town Mariott. It was amazing! Lots of people enjoying Christmas fun. I had an amazing time and took my girlfriend there for a weekend vacation. This town has amazing archtecture!
I loved Springfield when I was a kid. It was a fun place to grow up in the 70's. My g-grandfather started Whitacre's Drug Store and I remember going to see my grandpa when he was working.
I lived in Springfield for the first 12 years of my life from 1971 to 1984. I moved to Alabama in 1984 and haven't been back but I would love to come back and see how everything has changed. Do you remember the old root beer stand that was diagonally across from Reid Elementary school? I was just wondering if it was still there.
@@jilllindley122 Honestly man it's not worth it. The south side has completely turned into a drug infested sad part of town. If you drive down Selma Rd its nothing but prostitutes. Its not much better in other parts either to be honest. People glorify Roscommon's and what not but that's the only decent neighborhood left. People don't talk to each other in public no more, I can't think of the last time someone did something nice, homeless people don't even beg no more because it's not worth their time and they would rather just steal stuff. My house has been broken into on several occasions just over the past 2-3 years. I live in Roscommon's and it's the only place that i've been robbed in. The better the neighborhood the higher the chance of someone trying to rob you. Its the sad reality of Springfield nowadays.
You did pick some of the worst areas to drive through...the south end and the west end south of Main St. which was bad even in the 70s & 80s when I was there. You should do another pass keeping north of Main St. Not what it once was, but much better than the parts we saw here.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I did NOT say the opposite. I said "SOME of the worst areas." That need not include the worst areas of them all. I chose my words very carefully, precisely for the purpose of not conflicting with what was already said. Thanks for completely ignoring/not comprehending this.
My family and I have lived in the south side of Springfield for more than a decade. Of course there’s good and bad in every place you go too. But my neighborhood is good. It can get loud in the summer but we all look out for one another.
Lived in Springfield all my life we call it the twilight zone. Never now what shit going down . Lot of crimes and deaths . And the thing is where ever I go I can't wait to get back home to SPRINGFIELD OHIO
Born here left when I was in high school but loved this place as a kid in the 90s had an awesome time. its definitely beats down and wish there was some way to invest in the city. Springfield does have some amazing buildings and good food. John Legend was born here as well if you all know who that is
I lived this town my whole life and yes when i was growing up we had fun places to go and now its 2023 and Springfield Ohio went down and got worst with the crimes and this is a place u dont want to rise your kids nowadays and its sad that u cant keep your kids safe and yes there some history kinda left in this town but not the same things from r families was growing up bc they took r mall in this town
Springfield in the late 70s- mid 80s was safe enough for an 8 year old to ride her bike all around town. But, it was also a place where 13 year olds hung out in pool halls, smoking and drinking. Maybe that was just the times though... I can't believe Schuller's bakery still exists. Wow!
Been living in Springfield half my entire life on the south side of Springfield it ain’t no joke I’ve seen some shit and went on about my day everyone says don’t walk on the south side at night by urself but I’ve had no problems walking by myself at night on the south side just don’t go to the Sunoco on Selma rd at night on the weekends or the mini mart
Selma's just hooker rd at night and the sunoco habibs have conceal carry permits, its not all that bad. You don't really gotta look out for older people here, its mostly the teenagers or young adults.
So you came to our city drove around and talked s*** about our people wow that's amazing first of all you are only looking at the exterior of this city and we may have the highest crime rate there is I doubt it but that does not mean that there are no good hard-working people try to make a way in a city that is slowly dying how dare you what a terrible thing to do
Springfield definitely is not the most dangerous city in Ohio. Youngstown hides its crime numbers by not reporting them to the fbi or reporting them late so the city doesn’t end up as the murder capital of the U.S. 2021 youngstown had 31 murders with a population of 67,000. You can easily do the math. That’s a murder rate of 46 per 100,000 people. Which is equivalent to a city the size of Chicago having 1,380 murders in 1 year. Smh crazy! that’s only last years murder stats. Dig and you shall find
@@sting1719 Shiiiit he ain't lying, I probably flew passed that mf going to my plug. I dont got no time to b waiting around watching mfs stare at crack houses
Their trash and in their own minds so highly superior to us even though most of us do work aren’t drug addicts etc .. 🥱 it’s not even worth the energy because I’m convinced that is the only way they get attention
You need to remember you are sight seeing. People that live there are doing daily things they need to get done so they may just be in a hurry to do it.
My Brother lived on the South side of Springfield, and was woken up one nite, 2 marked men in his house, with a gun in his face, locked him in his closet, robbed him and stole his car.... now, My Mother grew up in Ohio, we would visit My Grandparents once a year, I even lived in Springfield for a year back in the 80s, it definitely has gone downhill over the past 20 yrs
Born and raised in Springfield .. left went to southern Florida southern Cali two beautiful places ... still came back home to raise my family ... this is a terrible representation of the city ... you never traveled north at all lol it's a city of 60,000 people you went down a few main roads legitimately
Yall are funny asf seeing this video reminds me why people like "YALL" don't come around scared of a life you never had to live... Worried about alley ways 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scared much? Lol good luck in dayton 😂 I do live in this town have for 50 years .. it's gotten scary throughout the years.. but keep in mind it's getting bad everywhere ..
You didn't even scratch the surface with how bad my hometown is.A long time ago it was the mecha of invention and industry. Now it's a shell of it's formal glory. Very sad really. At one point it had the largest building in the entire world, Now just a crime riden sewer.
Honestly the worst looking and feeling hood in Ohio is East Cleveland. It’s our Detroit 😂 there’s bad neighborhoods across the state but nothing looks worse than East Cleveland and it’s 100’s of abandoned apartment buildings.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You clearly don’t live anywhere near here because no one would agree with that wrong ass statement 💀💀 driving through and looking out the window and living is two different feels 😂😂😂
I live in Springfield, I love it here, but I plan on moving to Toledo, I need a fresh start, don’t listen to these folks, this city is growing and healing.
You gotta come up during the summer time. In the winter nobody is outside. The south part of town is typically the most dangerous. The reason it’s the most dangerous city by crime rate is because it’s per capita. Meaning every few people you pass on the street has a criminal history. It’s also a town where if you have enemies you can’t hide from them. It’s not big enough to hide but there’s a lot of beef. So a lot of shootings happen. And don’t get me started on stuff like drugs and r*pe. You missed some of the best turns though. People here will fight you just for looking at them too long lol
Born and raised in Springfield; left 7 years ago. It really isn’t bad, except the south, west, east, and north side; once you’re FAR north,it gets Alot better, basically Urbana areaish
Imagine reading that these people struggle so you think your best plan of action is to drive around our town commentating on what you see. Leave these people and their homes alone.
Were reporters thats our job. By knowing these things we can help people who are moving, investing and those who live here as well. Not sure why have just a narrow mind about straight forward reporting.
Noooo you Should have turned left down Selma road you would have seen nothing but zombie-land or left down linden ave all abandon housing not ah single house on any corner you didn’t go deep enough you only scratched the surface man 😭
I remember my mom used to live on Linden Ave in the late 70s and early 80s it wasn't great back then I can only imagine what it's like now. I lived with my grandparents on the next st over on Dexel Ave. There used to be a long row of 2 story apts there they were gray and the porch went all the way across for like 7 or 8 apts. I was a kid so I can't remember the name of the apts. Do you know what the name of them are or if they're still there? I doubt it bc that was so long ago but it brought back memories of my childhood. I moved to Alabama in 1984 and haven't been back
So seeing people struggle is funny to you? Assuming people are in a hurry to get home and get high? What great people you are. Laughing at someone else’s struggle.
I have to wonder where you both are from? No crime in the city you live in or are from? I’ve seen what you both look like, maybe instead of driving around, you should both be getting out and walking more.
Not surprised, this are exactly the kind of people who be making this kind of hateful content because they are unhappy, u know the type of people who i am talking about 🍟
Born and raised here and just saying not the kinda place you wanna be caught shitting on it. You get what you seek out. There's multi million dollar homes and 500 dollar ones.
@@lukepurnell3170 when you google most dangerous cities in ohio.. you get several results. FBI database, wall street 24/7 and several others. On ALL the list Springfield is in the top 10.when we recorded this video stats for 2020 were out. Now the stats for 2021 just came out and its shifted to #7. Notice it the date published stats for 2021 just now came out. Anymore questions? Glad to help. The power of google.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Thanks for your help. I thought you were saying it was #1 on the list. Didn’t realize you were just saying it’s in the Top 10. No one is going to mistake me to the smartest guy in the comments 😂
I see opportunity to make money renting real estate to lower income people that are good tenants and decent working people, but may not have a way to buy a home themselves.
Im from Springfield Ohio. Haven’t lived there since I was 13 I am now 33 but go sometimes to visit my cousin who lives in Cincinnati but my dad‘s whole side of the family still lives there in Springfield, I was just there 2 years ago and it’s gotten so bad! It’s definitely a place people who don’t live there don’t need to be. A lot of the Houses that are boarded up people actually still I’ve in, I see family post about shootings all the time. There was one year that I would see or hear about a shooting every week. Anyways my mom moved us girls to Texas when I was 7 and we moved back and fourth a few times and as a child I loved it there, but when I was there last time when I was 13 I thought “ what TAF like wth how do people love here” side note I was only there at that time bc my dad kidnapped me and took me there for 6 months. Anyways the main street y’all missed you went straight and y’all should have taken right was limestone. But y’all do need to be careful there and be safe. I’m okay going there bc when people hear who my family is mom and dads side they don’t Mess with me bc well my family is creamy I guess. 😂 I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go back it’s Just very sad and very depressing.
Thanks for being honest. Sadly they are too narrow minded to know its bad. If they could afford to travel and realize 97% of places are better they would see it.
I actually live here and that's no lie this town is bad but if you mind your own most of the time your ok just gotta have heart and not allow someone to step on you and you good
I still see the beauty in this town and it's not that bad. If you don't start none there won't be none. The people here are wonderful hard working people. It's appearance isn't all that bad either. You can buy a house for cheap there. You must've never been to Philly or Baltimore. LOL. How did I do?
You didn't even hit the spots that are dangerous 🤦♂️ I've lived on Southern and Limestone all my life. It's actually building back up. The homes are beautiful. Every state has a city or multiple cities that are not to your standards... So you might want to do your homework..
Not more then Columbus or Toledo or Columbus. They go by people population. Go to hilltop in Columbus go down south in Toledo and out west. The hilltop bigger then Springfield
Is this even Springfield I've never seen a house look so nice in Springfield and if this is actually Springfield this is the upper class for sure you guys have to be kidding me
I grew up here when it wasn't bad. I made it out 20 years ago and will never go back!!! You couldn't pay me to move back there, it's so bad. Even Northridge is turning trashy. But... you didn't even see anything. Go back in the summer time and at night... stroll through Snyder Park... it's not "that bad"... as long as you're not walking and you stay in your car. 🤣
Best part of Springfield is looking at it in your rear view mirror! Grew up there , left in 1972 and never looked back! It’s was the the most depressing place you can ever live. Loved your impression and they were dead on!
I was cringing the whole time. Not only did you not go to the "roughest parts of town" , you missed out on some amazing mansions, underground railroad history, a beautiful downtown, an historic Wittenberg University campus, and other amazing things that Springfield has to offer.

Yea he should came in exit 54.. that side night actiondrake few people smoke there nice murder history.. u can buy some pu$$y outside the dollar tree😂😂😂😂 just joking

Yup

Facts. The city ain’t that bad
You were right you really didn’t go to the worst parts of town you got close. But thank you for the video I’m originally from Springfield I’ve been living in Texas now for 22 years haven’t been back there for at least 18 years so it was like a walk down memory lane you actually went by a house that I lived in for a while on W. High St. it really does look like the town has went downhill a lot. But it was still nice seeing Springfield again brought back a lot of old memories so Thank you!!
Despite the hateful comments i knew this video would be special to someone from there ❤️
Dropped in on Springfield last year at Christmas time while traveling at the down town Mariott. It was amazing! Lots of people enjoying Christmas fun. I had an amazing time and took my girlfriend there for a weekend vacation. This town has amazing archtecture!
I'm born and raised in Springfield Ohio. I've lived in the good part of town and bad. Now I live on out outskirts of town but I love Springfield
I loved Springfield when I was a kid. It was a fun place to grow up in the 70's.
My g-grandfather started Whitacre's Drug Store and I remember going to see my grandpa when he was working.
I used to go there and get candy. My grandparents lived on Augusta. I would walk, without them knowing, down the railroad tracks to go there.
I lived in Springfield for the first 12 years of my life from 1971 to 1984. I moved to Alabama in 1984 and haven't been back but I would love to come back and see how everything has changed. Do you remember the old root beer stand that was diagonally across from Reid Elementary school? I was just wondering if it was still there.
@@jilllindley122 Honestly man it's not worth it. The south side has completely turned into a drug infested sad part of town. If you drive down Selma Rd its nothing but prostitutes. Its not much better in other parts either to be honest. People glorify Roscommon's and what not but that's the only decent neighborhood left. People don't talk to each other in public no more, I can't think of the last time someone did something nice, homeless people don't even beg no more because it's not worth their time and they would rather just steal stuff. My house has been broken into on several occasions just over the past 2-3 years. I live in Roscommon's and it's the only place that i've been robbed in. The better the neighborhood the higher the chance of someone trying to rob you. Its the sad reality of Springfield nowadays.
@jilllindley122 I used to work at the root beer stand and sadly it is no longer there. Been gone for awhile now
You did pick some of the worst areas to drive through...the south end and the west end south of Main St. which was bad even in the 70s & 80s when I was there. You should do another pass keeping north of Main St. Not what it once was, but much better than the parts we saw here.
some locals say i didn't even show the worst parts.. you say the opposite.. so which one is it?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I did NOT say the opposite. I said "SOME of the worst areas." That need not include the worst areas of them all. I chose my words very carefully, precisely for the purpose of not conflicting with what was already said. Thanks for completely ignoring/not comprehending this.
My family and I have lived in the south side of Springfield for more than a decade. Of course there’s good and bad in every place you go too. But my neighborhood is good. It can get loud in the summer but we all look out for one another.

Ahhh yes, you're great people doing a great service.
Thanks for time stamping. We travel all over USA and we love seeing poverty. its a refreshing sight in a prosperous country.
Wow
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you really came off wrong in this comment, like bad
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSmake sure to let me know when you post where your from and your house
I’m from there! 😂 it gets bizzy!
Lived in Springfield all my life we call it the twilight zone.
Never now what shit going down .
Lot of crimes and deaths .
And the thing is where ever I go I can't wait to get back home to
SPRINGFIELD OHIO
People
Here in the comments acting like i made this up 🤷
How do you call them drivers aggressive when you’re driving slow and people have places to go 😂
I had a place to go, out of this god forsaken dump of a town 😅
i lived here my whole life the trains are a bit annoying but i love the cats
You should have went dow lagonda & more into the south side
Born here left when I was in high school but loved this place as a kid in the 90s had an awesome time. its definitely beats down and wish there was some way to invest in the city. Springfield does have some amazing buildings and good food. John Legend was born here as well if you all know who that is
Awesome 💙🥰
The guy fighting the air is Robert!!! Still around the area but he just has a lot of issues but has a home and people that check on him❤
Hey jose and katie, it ain't that bad there. My sister and her family moved there 20 years ago and none of them got shot yet!
Because she moving smart
That’s me on the dirtbike 😹
How do you keep your camera from shaking?
I lived this town my whole life and yes when i was growing up we had fun places to go and now its 2023 and Springfield Ohio went down and got worst with the crimes and this is a place u dont want to rise your kids nowadays and its sad that u cant keep your kids safe and yes there some history kinda left in this town but not the same things from r families was growing up bc they took r mall in this town
Springfield in the late 70s- mid 80s was safe enough for an 8 year old to ride her bike all around town. But, it was also a place where 13 year olds hung out in pool halls, smoking and drinking.
Maybe that was just the times though...
I can't believe Schuller's bakery still exists. Wow!
1:20 i legit go to that walmart on the left all the time
As a resident of Springfield, I can tell you that we have some very good stuff here, we might be janky but we are very beautiful once you get to know
I grew up in Springfield, it was a nice place, but went down hill. The doughnuts and young's were really good.
Been living in Springfield half my entire life on the south side of Springfield it ain’t no joke I’ve seen some shit and went on about my day everyone says don’t walk on the south side at night by urself but I’ve had no problems walking by myself at night on the south side just don’t go to the Sunoco on Selma rd at night on the weekends or the mini mart
you cant live in a place like that! no way!
Selma's just hooker rd at night and the sunoco habibs have conceal carry permits, its not all that bad. You don't really gotta look out for older people here, its mostly the teenagers or young adults.
So you came to our city drove around and talked s*** about our people wow that's amazing first of all you are only looking at the exterior of this city and we may have the highest crime rate there is I doubt it but that does not mean that there are no good hard-working people try to make a way in a city that is slowly dying how dare you what a terrible thing to do
Please time stamp exactly where i talked bad about the people.. i wanna know exactly what your talking about here 😐
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS "people are in a hurry to get home and get high" for one
Springfield definitely is not the most dangerous city in Ohio. Youngstown hides its crime numbers by not reporting them to the fbi or reporting them late so the city doesn’t end up as the murder capital of the U.S. 2021 youngstown had 31 murders with a population of 67,000. You can easily do the math. That’s a murder rate of 46 per 100,000 people. Which is equivalent to a city the size of Chicago having 1,380 murders in 1 year. Smh crazy! that’s only last years murder stats. Dig and you shall find
@@sting1719 Shiiiit he ain't lying, I probably flew passed that mf going to my plug. I dont got no time to b waiting around watching mfs stare at crack houses
Their trash and in their own minds so highly superior to us even though most of us do work aren’t drug addicts etc .. 🥱 it’s not even worth the energy because I’m convinced that is the only way they get attention
You ain’t even hit the south end! 😂
Am i the only one who said hey you ran that red light ? Lol
Now see, you blew through and didn't stop by to see me.
You need to remember you are sight seeing. People that live there are doing daily things they need to get done so they may just be in a hurry to do it.
They sound very educated. lol
If you ever go back go threw the LEGS District. Beautiful area!
LOLOLOL! Lexington, Euclid, Grand and Southern! LOLOLOL! Beautiful area! LOLOLOL!
My Brother lived on the South side of Springfield, and was woken up one nite, 2 marked men in his house, with a gun in his face, locked him in his closet, robbed him and stole his car.... now, My Mother grew up in Ohio, we would visit My Grandparents once a year, I even lived in Springfield for a year back in the 80s, it definitely has gone downhill over the past 20 yrs
Me being from East Cleveland that place doesn't really look bad at all. It looks like some of the suburbs of Cleveland like Euclid.
some hoods got nicer houses then others dosent mean there’s not hella shootouts etc 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Born and raised in Springfield .. left went to southern Florida southern Cali two beautiful places ... still came back home to raise my family ... this is a terrible representation of the city ... you never traveled north at all lol it's a city of 60,000 people you went down a few main roads legitimately
Very cool! South florida is awesome but the cost and incomes are shameful
Yall are funny asf seeing this video reminds me why people like "YALL" don't come around scared of a life you never had to live... Worried about alley ways 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i been to places you wont go
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSoooooh where where???
Scared much? Lol good luck in dayton 😂 I do live in this town have for 50 years .. it's gotten scary throughout the years.. but keep in mind it's getting bad everywhere ..
Man I love Springfield live here this place ain’t bad if you mind your business
Kinda hard to do that for me but that's me tho lmao
If local people are in a hurry to get threw a neighborhood it's most likely for a reason
That was my old house they passed there on mound wow
At 2323 you drove right past my old house...
You didn't even scratch the surface with how bad my hometown is.A long time ago it was the mecha of invention and industry. Now it's a shell of it's formal glory. Very sad really. At one point it had the largest building in the entire world, Now just a crime riden sewer.
Honestly the worst looking and feeling hood in Ohio is East Cleveland. It’s our Detroit 😂 there’s bad neighborhoods across the state but nothing looks worse than East Cleveland and it’s 100’s of abandoned apartment buildings.
Detroit has alot more culture and good things than most ohio 😭😅🤦
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS You clearly don’t live anywhere near here because no one would agree with that wrong ass statement 💀💀 driving through and looking out the window and living is two different feels 😂😂😂
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS they are both very similar cities that doesn’t really make sense.
East Cleveland is a very small city, it never had hundreds of apartment buildings. I doubt if there was every 100. But yes it's messed up.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS BS!
Damn lucky y'all didn't get stole on.. rolling around looking like the police
your mentality.. unreal. been to hundreds of hoods in USA never had a significant threat.
Pull back up for a meet and greet 💣💣💣💣
2:37 you see the water tower I use to live the last house down near the water tower in the right side
I live in Springfield, I love it here, but I plan on moving to Toledo, I need a fresh start, don’t listen to these folks, this city is growing and healing.
If it’s growing why are you leaving lol
You gotta come up during the summer time. In the winter nobody is outside. The south part of town is typically the most dangerous. The reason it’s the most dangerous city by crime rate is because it’s per capita. Meaning every few people you pass on the street has a criminal history. It’s also a town where if you have enemies you can’t hide from them. It’s not big enough to hide but there’s a lot of beef. So a lot of shootings happen. And don’t get me started on stuff like drugs and r*pe. You missed some of the best turns though. People here will fight you just for looking at them too long lol
2:23 (at that motel) the guy who robbed our house did drugs there
Born and raised in Springfield; left 7 years ago. It really isn’t bad, except the south, west, east, and north side; once you’re FAR north,it gets Alot better, basically Urbana areaish
Imagine reading that these people struggle so you think your best plan of action is to drive around our town commentating on what you see.
Leave these people and their homes alone.
Were reporters thats our job. By knowing these things we can help people who are moving, investing and those who live here as well. Not sure why have just a narrow mind about straight forward reporting.
look at what video you are watching......
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS 🤣 "reporters" you literally said you didn't do any research
@@katalinaremusat4965 yes. We offer our first impressions. Thats authentic why would i bite off someones elses work
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS that's how professionals and respectable reports cite their information.

Noooo you Should have turned left down Selma road you would have seen nothing but zombie-land or left down linden ave all abandon housing not ah single house on any corner you didn’t go deep enough you only scratched the surface man 😭
Man fr this ain’t the spot for him
He got scared 🤣
I remember my mom used to live on Linden Ave in the late 70s and early 80s it wasn't great back then I can only imagine what it's like now. I lived with my grandparents on the next st over on Dexel Ave. There used to be a long row of 2 story apts there they were gray and the porch went all the way across for like 7 or 8 apts. I was a kid so I can't remember the name of the apts. Do you know what the name of them are or if they're still there? I doubt it bc that was so long ago but it brought back memories of my childhood. I moved to Alabama in 1984 and haven't been back
They didn't go all the way down Selma?
@@jilllindley122 Drexel by South HS?
You missed the whole south end, where it is really hood!
dang, i thought we saw this thing LOL
Y'all drove passed the heart of the hood. Linden Ave.
I missed it?
Fr tho
Literally
So seeing people struggle is funny to you? Assuming people are in a hurry to get home and get high? What great people you are. Laughing at someone else’s struggle.
Can you tag when i laugh at people
Struggling? Time stamp that for me please
So you ride thru towns commenting on other people's misfortune. Just pitiful!!
I have to wonder where you both are from? No crime in the city you live in or are from?
I’ve seen what you both look like, maybe instead of driving around, you should both be getting out and walking more.
LMFAO
Not surprised, this are exactly the kind of people who be making this kind of hateful content because they are unhappy, u know the type of people who i am talking about 🍟
Born and raised here and just saying not the kinda place you wanna be caught shitting on it. You get what you seek out. There's multi million dollar homes and 500 dollar ones.
Were traveling youtubers.. the stats speak for themselves
Most dangerous city per capita. As I said you find what you look for.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Could you please share a link to where you got the stats you keep quoting?
I tried to do my homework and I could not find it.🤔

Where would you say that is?
@@nicholasatom4563 Trying going to Selma Rd and down South Limestone St and South Yellow Springs Street, some of the side streets
I love the dollar tree ❤️
You should’ve taken Selma rd. Yr in the wrong part of town- it’s called lil Detroit, Heroin and pills changed the whole landscape of the city.
That’s the house I use to live in on the left side not the reddish house the other one right next to it 7:07
Im from Springfield Ohio. Haven’t lived there since I was 13 I am now 33 but go sometimes to visit my cousin who lives in Cincinnati but my dad‘s whole side of the family still lives there in Springfield, I was just there 2 years ago and it’s gotten so bad! It’s definitely a place people who don’t live there don’t need to be. A lot of the Houses that are boarded up people actually still I’ve in, I see family post about shootings all the time. There was one year that I would see or hear about a shooting every week. Anyways my mom moved us girls to Texas when I was 7 and we moved back and fourth a few times and as a child I loved it there, but when I was there last time when I was 13 I thought “ what TAF like wth how do people love here” side note I was only there at that time bc my dad kidnapped me and took me there for 6 months. Anyways the main street y’all missed you went straight and y’all should have taken right was limestone. But y’all do need to be careful there and be safe. I’m okay going there bc when people hear who my family is mom and dads side they don’t Mess with me bc well my family is creamy I guess. 😂 I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go back it’s Just very sad and very depressing.
Thanks for being honest. Sadly they are too narrow minded to know its bad. If they could afford to travel and realize 97% of places are better they would see it.
I actually live here and that's no lie this town is bad but if you mind your own most of the time your ok just gotta have heart and not allow someone to step on you and you good
Springfield resident here at 15:39 you drive by my parents house
Ironic coming from two folks from Florida 💀
Florida is safer than Ohio on most metrics
People get irritated when you drive slow of course they’re going to around
this would never happen in Michigan GO BLUE
What great and perfect city do you guys live in

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSwow what a great achievement!
Springfield has its issues but Youngstown is definitely the worst and most wicked city in the state of Ohio
I still see the beauty in this town and it's not that bad. If you don't start none there won't be none. The people here are wonderful hard working people. It's appearance isn't all that bad either. You can buy a house for cheap there. You must've never been to Philly or Baltimore. LOL. How did I do?
Been to both ..

I know dog we all from 937 but people in the comments is tweaking I've up there no cap it like down here
That would be Springfield, Illinois
Not more then Columbus or Toledo or Columbus. They go by people population. Go to hilltop in Columbus go down south in Toledo and out west. The hilltop bigger then Springfield
As long as you mind your business here you’ll be fine used to be nice in the 90s
What do you mean minding your business though😂
You should drive threw again same route so you can see the mew improvements 😂. Go to Southside for the best of the best.....
Is this even Springfield I've never seen a house look so nice in Springfield and if this is actually Springfield this is the upper class for sure you guys have to be kidding me
Its 2 springfields in Ohio the main one by Dayton the other is by middletown
I grew up here when it wasn't bad. I made it out 20 years ago and will never go back!!! You couldn't pay me to move back there, it's so bad. Even Northridge is turning trashy. But... you didn't even see anything. Go back in the summer time and at night... stroll through Snyder Park... it's not "that bad"... as long as you're not walking and you stay in your car. 🤣
Looks sad and very depressing
This isn't the most dangerous city what the fuck
Best part of Springfield is looking at it in your rear view mirror! Grew up there , left in 1972 and never looked back! It’s was the the most depressing place you can ever live. Loved your impression and they were dead on!
You guys went down by Lagonda thats just lower class white neighborhood you should have went to the Selma rd area and the South Side
I lived here in this hell hole all my life I hate this town wish I would of moved away from here when I was young
If your alive its never too late. But cost of living might shock you in “decent” areas
I left Springfield when I was 21 & moved to Texas
I had some rough times but, now I'm retired.
Built my own house & shop, worked at home.
