Just 1 block on the left at 0:43 Is the Twelfth Baptist Church where Martin Luther King was assistant Minister while pursuing doctoral studies in theology at Boston University.
Alexandra kaidan-Berry Born and raised locals make up a smaller % these days in most cities. Bostons 15% Irish and declining. Lots of immigration and transplants.
@@alexandrakaidan-berry9647 Don't bring your Korean boyfriend into that neighborhood then. That's like a Black girl bringing home a white guy into her neighborhood. Plus you're fat and ugly, who TF would want to date you lmao. Plus are you even Irish, your name doesn't sound it.
The rest of America needs to take notes If you are smart and don't destroy your neighborhoods you can have a beautiful city like this. My favorite city by far.
He said numerous times in the past that the hood anywhere. Rich, middle class, poor. He calls even the videos if nice areas hood. Hood is short for neighborhood after all
Lol u sure are a goofball... just because an area looks nice doesnt mean it has a low crime rate. Look at chicago.. go to the west side. the houses are beautiful yet its one of the worst areas in the city.
This area has changed alot, I'm a Massachusetts native, while my streets mainly was Springfield I spent lots of time in Boston, this is a hood, but a lot of it has been cleaned up.
@@AhmAnakiKamIhaXiHuanEL- you think I'm talking about gentrification like it's a good thing! And it would be if the people living there before were enabled to improve their own lives and stay in the neighborhood. Then CharlieBo would call this video America's Richest Hoods, and interview locals how come there's not much systemic racism in Boston like there is in the rest of the country
The hoods in Boston look pretty pretty decent< Nice row houses and classic vintage architecture. Neighborhoods look clean and well-maintained. Boston must be doing something right.
I think it's because of all the money in the area combined with higher taxes that actually somewhat successfully redistribute wealth to the lower income areas. For example Boston's public schools are highly rated in the u.s, so even if you're in a poorer neighborhood your school will still get some decent funding from taxes taken out of ivy league/medical sector/advanced manufacturing .
@@gij123 oh and also the recent gentrification that pushed the poorest to the streets, or at least to the rundown former manufacturing or fishing towns in the greater Boston area. Or the worse off smaller cities in western Massachusetts or Connecticut. Or maybe even to more affordable regions of the country
There’s always someone under these comments saying this for everywhere 🤣 like bro where do you live, iraq? Stop fronting acting like that’s not obviously the hood lmao
People also should know that most times there are three families living in the triple deckers. One on each floor. Not one family unit for the whole house
any large house for that matter, i went to where my parents went when they came to the us, Lawrence Massachusetts And every house had 2 doors And 2-3 addresses, in florida ive never seen that
4:08 This is Dudley street, a huge artery in Roxbury and where the old Orchard park projects used to be. My dad told me stories about how it used to look in the late 80s and 90s and how he got shot at there. It is definitely cleaned up now. Even when I was in high school I would go there everyday and there were vacant lots. I grew up in near by Dorchester, near that rent a center you went by. Thanks for the video!
None of the footage of Boston was considered the "Hood", but some of the areas are rough with all of the houses being cluttered together along with the narrow streets. The gentrification is on heavy throughout Boston especially in the Dorchester and Roxbury areas with all them condominiums popping up. Also the footage in the beginning of the video was definitely not the hood which is an area next to Brookline "Jewish-Town" and Jamaica Plaine. There are nothing but university students, medical/researchers (PHD) and working class people in that area in the beginning. Good vids.
Coming from a person thats from Boston’s inner city and is currently living here i can tell you yes these neighborhoods look nice. But thats cause of gentrification, these town homes and nice houses you see were once rundown homes , abandoned houses , foreclosures , empty lots. That have been filled to make the city appear nice. Housing projects are being tore down to make these town homes. Rent is basically unaffordable so people moving out the city. Crime gone down in some parts. Risen in the suburbs like , fall river , newbedford , tauton , brockton. But do not get it twisted, looks are deceiving violence still reigns supreme . 5:15 you see that light pole on the right . It has shot spotter technology to pin point location in event of a shooting. (Look it up) we have these all over . My city aint what it was but dont come here thinking shits sweet cause it aint. Its sad to see this happening to my city so make your millions and invest in yalls neighborhoods dont let the white folk run yall out. SIDENOTE we still the city of CHAMPS 🏆 fuck what yall talkin bout 😂😂
Very Nice Nice city off Massachusetts to broklyn to allston roadcliff jackson men school brigthon to hospital st Elizabeth brigthon tank you foor vidéo ✌👏👏😎
Thanks for finally doing Boston. Too bad you didn't make it to Chelsea (predominantly Latino) which is crazy hood and the next city over. In the nicer weather you'd get a better feel for the city too but we can't have it all. I'm thankful you made it to Bean
Tyiron Snead i respect everywhere i go. I’m not saying it’s sweet out there. I’m just saying as far as the neighborhoods look, Boston is pretty well kept. Look at one of Charlie’s videos of him driving through Kensington in Philly and you’ll see what I’m saying.
facts boston look nice, when i was there i felt safe i was in dorchester area... North philly like 1000 times more dangerous, we like a eastcoast chicago and they like a eastcoast colorado 😂🤣
Bostonian here, come back in the summer and do a night time edition, drive around enough you'll see people get robbed or you yourself will get robbed for your car

You show what society tries to cover up. such raw videos, I won't be the one to change the despair these neighborhoods bring, but I hope everyone gets out of that rut feeling.
Being from Boston..I could tell you was getting alil lost..plus Boston sucks in the winter..it's best to come in the summer, you was actually near the Orchard Park projects where New Edition was from but they have been torn down and rebuilt but still rachett or could have kept up Blue Hill avenue and went to the Franklin Field Projects. Video still was on point and had me HOMESICK..GOOD JOB.
did you pick up a souvenir celebratory "Charlie Card" while in the "dirty ol' bean"? fares are increasing very soon and some thing tells me those cards are gonna be like a sacrement to travel the inner state transit systems when ⛽ prices increase again aswell.
Certain parts are hot ie. Fields corner, four corners especially in summer but there's some straight parts where you're good if you keep a low profile.
It's pretty cool. Dorchester is the biggest District in Boston. Its varies from being rough to being absolutely beautiful. I'm talking 1M Dollar homes, fo realz!.
@@yourrightsareturnedoff.lea8652 when the rich hipsters move in & drive real estate prices up so high that people living there for years can't afford to live there any longer
Why if a place looks clean and livable, must it be assumed to be heavily re-gentrified? I see a lot of public housing there that is specifically not for re-gentrification.
Douglas Kasten I am sure those houses are not cheap. North Eastern USA prices have skyrocketed even in the “so called hood”.....Look at NYC. Chicago needs to learn from the NE.
Bodymore Murdaland what u the only city with guns and dirtbikes? Save the tough guy act for someone else. Bostons a nice city for the most part but if ur in one of the bad neighborhoods its just like any other hood in the us. You people crack me up tryna play what city’s harder. Start acting reckless in any hood in america and your liable to get smoked. It’s not about where your from its where your at n people r crazy everywhere.
Thank you for the tour. Its nostalgic to see. I never thought I'd see the landscape change. I miss the culture that was present for so many years, and now its ALL changing. Even the old folks I know with strong family ties are packing it up. I hold on to the stories they told. Cuz thats all thats left...
Been living here all my life. And you are specifically in my neck of the woods 13:00. Live right off Norfolk. Quiet like it’s the suburbs now. Ppl be outside chillin but stuff don’t happen anymore. Y’all need to really stop acting like things happen here left and right, not even cool to be proud murders happen constantly. Specially frauding like it’s Chicago & NYC Type of murders, everyday lifestyle shit 😒
This my Hood. Wonder if u knew, at 6:46 brick building on Columbia Rd with those fire escape ladders is the building of one of the "Boston Strangler" victims. Her name was Jane Sullivan 435 Columbia Rd if u Google u can see same building back then. Oh, i was 🤣 when gps said "u r going wrong way down the street." ✌🏾
For Boston this looks very hood!.. Good work Charlie!... Casinos have a way of turning neighborhoods ghetto so maybe in a few years these places will be more hood thanks to that new casino?
Could you zoom in on the street names or add them to your videos. I was born and raised in Roxbury, but haven't lived there in 20+ years. I love the videos, but don't know or remember some of the streets. Not to mention that there's a ton of new buildings.
One thjng i noticed all the cars are like 4door bigger cars they dont see to have any 1litre cars like you see here (ireland) say like a ford fiesta or even toyota kai , and im just curious if they even have 1 litre cars ,???
U was around o.p and dudley i grew up in o.p one of bostons most hatted hoods, but shit and the same no more come arpund hear in 2000-2010 before shit got gentrified then ull see some real hood ass shit going down there
Omh once i seen that rt turn and passing rent a center...brought back memories. I use to get spanish food accross the st from rent a center.....i miss that spot.
Go to Brockton, Ma, Lawrence Ma, New Bedford as well, especially during the summer time. Honestly think some of those towns are worse than most neighborhoods in Boston.
mike whitlinger Fall River too. Real depressing down there though New Bedford’s trying. It’s funky cool in places. Nashua NH, Lewiston/Auburn/Bangor ME those places are WHACKED.
Compared to NY. NJ, Philly, LA, Chi-town, Detroit, Boston is not "hood" per say. There are some spots along Blue Hill Ave, Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury that could be considered rougher areas. Overall, I felt pretty safe out there. I'm from Newark, NJ and when I saw these hoods, I was like this doesn't seem a like a hood to me. I lived in MA for 12 years. Springfield, Lynn, and Lawrence have some rough spots as well. It's a whole different vibe up there.
That’s only a section. Driving right by some very important areas. Hitting more of Bluehill Ave would have covered so much more. Passed right by Eggleston station. 😳
If u gonna be in bean town during the winter you should start recording after 3pm.wen the schools let out n people start gettin off ov work,.I can tell it was early,u mainly was in Roxbury.Come down to Mattapan bka Murderpan n Dorchester in the summa, especially during carnival,by the way u didn't swing threw n e ov the projects
I just realized that (outside of Guru) Boston has never produced a main stream Hip Hop artist that I'm aware of. Of all the cities (outside of New York), I would think that Philly (which actually has) and Boston would be the leading contributors to Hip Hop culture.
You ever hear of New edition? Bobby Brown? One of the best groups of all time hip hop definitely has deep roots here never forget that and as far as the hoods looks can be deceiving I grew up in Roxbury and everyday I had to look over my shoulders. Civilians will never understand it's not the area it's the people
@@allahdallas4412 I'm embarrassed for you. New Edition and Bobby Brown??? Those are R&B artists! R&B is not Hip Hop despite the merging of both genres.

Trad Stacy very true. Everyone else wouldn’t want it to be a good neighborhood and change from the past. Proud idiots for it to be the same
Every state has a hood
boston is fine,nice city really decent!!! btw did you change camra charlie :)
I live in Dorchester now and recently BOSTON has had a lot of young women go missing and killed.
A lot? Stfu with a lot. A few. Chicago has a lot.
KiLLahD48 ok
KILLahD48 ur trying to argue with someone over witch state has more women getting killed and going missing you sound like the biggest fucking pussy
Caleb Munafo for rea
Not to mention Chicago is the 3rd biggest population.. Boston has a population on baltimore
Everywhere looks like shit this time of year in New England 😂
Deadboy207 666 but when it turns summer, man it’s fucking beautiful
What kind of camera do you use?
The architecture looks to good to actually be a dangerous neighbourhood
Not really a bad area of Boston, not anymore at least.
It was really bad in the late 80s/ early 90s
Coming from Miami this neighborhood is made so different i don't think I'll feel the same its a different world
One thjng i noticed all the cars are like 4door bigger cars they dont see to have any 1litre cars like you see here (ireland) say like a ford fiesta or even toyota kai , and im just curious if they even have 1 litre cars ,???
Whatever you want can be got here
It kinda reminds me of South Jamaica Queens.
I still don't see any tent cities, boarded up Windows , trash or people sleeping on sidewalks. Damn, this city looks affluent.
Go to Lynn MA please. But in general streets don't turn into a jungle till summer too brick out
U was around o.p and dudley i grew up in o.p one of bostons most hatted hoods, but shit and the same no more come arpund hear in 2000-2010 before shit got gentrified then ull see some real hood ass shit going down there
Omh once i seen that rt turn and passing rent a center...brought back memories. I use to get spanish food accross the st from rent a center.....i miss that spot.
I just discovered a Boston hoods video, I didn’t even know Charli had went there yet
*At 1:04. Is where i live..... borderline of Elizabeth N.j. and Newark mainly ELIZABETH!!!!! I grew up in Newark. Please keep it real SON.
*Exactly, Frelinghuysen Avenue.*
Wrong video, 1:04 he's heading towards Dudley square in Roxbury. !!!💯💯💯
G
You should go to Brockton Massachusetts or New Bedford that’s the real hood in Massachusetts
Also Lynn and Chelsea Massachusetts
Jovy Gonzalez springfield and holyoke
what part of boston is this? im guessing it mattapan
Roxbury and Dorchester
Yup Mattapan. Late in the video, he's driving down Morton and Woolson Street, then on to Blue Hill Ave.
@@mrdm1967ify yup i recognized the church towards the end but the beginning I was lost
Have a great week CharlieBo
Go to Brockton, Ma, Lawrence Ma, New Bedford as well, especially during the summer time. Honestly think some of those towns are worse than most neighborhoods in Boston.
mike whitlinger Fall River too. Real depressing down there though New Bedford’s trying. It’s funky cool in places.
Nashua NH, Lewiston/Auburn/Bangor ME those places are WHACKED.
Compared to NY. NJ, Philly, LA, Chi-town, Detroit, Boston is not "hood" per say. There are some spots along Blue Hill Ave, Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury that could be considered rougher areas. Overall, I felt pretty safe out there. I'm from Newark, NJ and when I saw these hoods, I was like this doesn't seem a like a hood to me. I lived in MA for 12 years. Springfield, Lynn, and Lawrence have some rough spots as well. It's a whole different vibe up there.
Im early! Notification is working!
why you driving in circles bro?
carlos semedo Boston doesn’t have a street grid so that’s just how you gotta drive
Don't be fooled by the gentrification Boston look. It didnt always look like THIS
Its very interesting about Boston City👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This is definitely not a Boston Massacre.
This one is the hood. Your first one on Boston isn’t.
That’s only a section. Driving right by some very important areas. Hitting more of Bluehill Ave would have covered so much more. Passed right by Eggleston station. 😳
Egleston Station was torn down in the 1980's.
If u gonna be in bean town during the winter you should start recording after 3pm.wen the schools let out n people start gettin off ov work,.I can tell it was early,u mainly was in Roxbury.Come down to Mattapan bka Murderpan n Dorchester in the summa, especially during carnival,by the way u didn't swing threw n e ov the projects
Great vid. Good-looking city. Thanx CharlieBo313.
I don’t think Boston has hoods anymore lol
Not very many
Should've done this 30 years years ago it's too gentrified now
Boston actually looks real nice compared to a lot other places in the US.
Does he tour H Block or Franklin Field?
Gotta hit brockton.. mattapan..Springfield Worcester .Fitchburg. Lawrence.
rizz Worth New Bedford
@@melizc8785 agree with New Bedford..... Chelsea is a good hood spot too
Check out the five college area like Northampton and Amherst.
One thing I like about Boston is that it is a safe city to live in. This is a mickey mouse hood compared to other cities.
I just realized that (outside of Guru) Boston has never produced a main stream Hip Hop artist that I'm aware of. Of all the cities (outside of New York), I would think that Philly (which actually has) and Boston would be the leading contributors to Hip Hop culture.
You ever hear of New edition? Bobby Brown? One of the best groups of all time hip hop definitely has deep roots here never forget that and as far as the hoods looks can be deceiving I grew up in Roxbury and everyday I had to look over my shoulders. Civilians will never understand it's not the area it's the people
@@allahdallas4412 I'm embarrassed for you. New Edition and Bobby Brown??? Those are R&B artists! R&B is not Hip Hop despite the merging of both genres.
@@jdm9700 neva hurd of g fredo or 7981 kal?
HI CHARLIE! ... yep, I have relatives there too. Its like riding through a tummel.
So which are the hood areas
