I played for Lofflers Meats in the Chamberburg Little League from 1984-87. Then Id go to Casino Hotdogs & Eddies Donuts to pick up lottery & cigarettes for my parents. Iy was a great time. A Tough but cool city it once was. Now its like Central & South America moved in. Bodegas Abound.
Getting jumped at columbus park was no fun. I did enjoy as a child the feast of lights and the bakeries Puertoricans were not welcomed however things have changed but i miss the burg i l knew😂 as a childl
@@ldav2006 Central Americans have a very a strong culture, and most families are very close. I don’t know what you speak of. I am Latino and I love Italian culture, food, you name it
Very good film it brings back memories. The burg was a great place to live but sadly things changed and I had to move because the youth gangs took over.
The crips, the bloods, la mara salvatrucha, the Latin kings and queens and Los batos locos. I was raised in Trenton and worked until 2006 as director of a youth program I was very close with some and grieved when I saw their names in the papers. I’m female 4”11 and was never afraid of our participants or the hood. But I worked from 3-10 pm and didn’t trust my neighborhood anymore. Trenton was very segregated when I was a child other than that the nostalgia kills me when we visit and it saddens me to see how dilapidated it’s become.
@@judy8645 where are those gangs? Because I’m here now and I don’t think they exist here anymore, if they did, it was for a very short time. Los vatos locos, were a fictional gang from a movie called “Blood in blood out” ... lady I think you want Latinos to be bad people in Trenton so you have a good reason to talk bad about them, but the truth is we eat a lot, we party a lot, yes we drink a lot... but we also get up every morning to work at restaurants... dishwashers, cooks, landscaping, we built bridges, roads, buildings. You name it, we will do it. And we will do it cheap. Are there bad criminal Latinos? of course! But what race or nationality doesn’t have bad people in it???

Where can I view this?
Where can the film be viewed?
lol YO BRIT!
This makes me seem quite racist. Which I am not.
Nice sound edit when the shot changes.
Either way, I'd love to finally see this documentary!\

I thought you kept it real. I sensed no racism from you
