My whole family were born and raised in Baltimore in the 1800s-1900s. Used to be a very vibrant city, and a melting pot of neighborhoods. Time, crime, drugs, factory and port closings, and exodus to the ‘burbs and beyond have left the rot and decay behind. My grandparents raised six kids in a very small 2-story (plus a basement where the heating oil was delivered), 2-bedroom/1-bath row house. My family all eventually left decades ago, but have great memories of growing up in “Charm City.” 😢
I'm a Lyft driver. I actually drove through Baltimore last Saturday and an old elderly lady I was picking up literally fell down the steps. She couldn't get up. I had to run out of my car to help her. Her granddaughter finally came out 3-5 minutes later. I didn't see any adults. It was very run-down part of Baltimore.
I visited Baltimore in July this year from Australia (Adelaide) 🇦🇺 . I actually found it a fascinating and overall, pretty good city. I had so many people tell me, before going, that I was risking my life and all sorts. However, I only felt unsafe once in a gas station for a brief moment. Sure it has some depressing and deep seated problems but it has character and style. It is unique and full of potential if people there grabbed that potential, wholeheartedly and run with it, in themselves, their families and in their communities then Baltimore can and will improve and change for the better.
Even the China Taste Food Store is closed and I wonder what the inside of the Bandalero's motorcycle clubhouse looks like? 🤔 Thanks for the tour! Rosedale says hello. 🤠👍
If you are referring to the big frame house pictured in the opening sequence....house dates from the late 19th century and probably occupied until condemned. Note RED triangle. 6:33

Crime chases the good people away
I was born there. Bethlehem Steel closed . And the city died. We fled to the suburbs. Couldnt live in the city anymore. Not safe.
Really sad to see what has happened to Baltimore.😢
Looks like the charm has left the city. Very sad!! Thank you for the video and be careful!!

Fair amount of nice cars, that's about it. Sad! Thanks for the ride.

5:57 A couple of boats from the Hoods N Hollers yacht club.
Awkward as hell when my house be in these videos
Wow we finally saw public transportation plus a little bit of life in this one 😊. Happy holidays Hoods and Hollers .
Happy Holidays!
I lived in Silver Springs till age 4...Baltimore was going down the drain then ('68), which is why we moved
Right where the video stopped is what I'd love to see next. Edmondson village
Exactly as what the TV series "The Wire" showed.

What jobs use to be here?So, sad😢😭💔
Bethlehem steel
Mostly blue collar job families in the pictured properties. We got a big problem here. No more tax base and citizens relocating in droves.
Bethlehem Steel, General Motors to name two.
It's really unfortunate because a lot of the houses and townhouses in Baltimore look very nice. And some very nice parked cars as well.
I was in elicot city,, I never I never imagined this sort😮
What happened tó the american dream? 😢😮
WOW!! Nothing but row houses
Gotta be early Sunday.
Do ppl still live in some of those ran down houses?
Lyke r kity has so many bandit places dat kan b remodeled yo
Somebody tried to make it nice at some point.
maybe if they weren't so soft on crime.
I wonder if my cousins are watching this?
What happen?
No body ..hustle and bustle in this town.. Quiet
Misericórdia!
タウンハウスに人がいっぱいだったのはいつ頃だろうか？
