@@ontarionagasaki1441 I'm from west Ohio, grew up off 50 in IN, and later on NE Ohio, so I've been to or through there many times. I always enjoy the sights and sounds of Cincy 🤘🏾
Ong man the other night me and my friend was out hella late walking home from the banks and the square man dudes kept talking to us I was getting scared😭
Cincinnati is actually not hideous. The place has good bones. It's actually still possible to imagine the vision of some dude from Germany in the second half of the 19th century who may very well have said something like "hey guys, let's take this cheap-ass wood and bricks and at least *try* to make this place look a little like the old country." Can't say that about too many places in the old Rust Belt.
I thinks its because they are Victorian era buildings still be lived in and so its a combination of all these old buildings and then countless social gatherings on every block, to some different culture.
I stayed in Cincinati for about forthnight with a middle class American family. It was an unforgettable American experience for me. They took me to Bengals' game, the Zoo, and Kings' Island. I love Cincinati and remember that I drove around all this neighborhood. Now I am in my home country but I feel like I'm in Cincinati while watching your fantastic videos bro. Thanks a lot. By the way, I miss deadly that skyline 5 way :-))
@@David-cp7ur Hi David. I'm from Turkey. I was in New Orleans for traveling in 2014 and I met a family down there. They asked me what I was doing in New Orleans and I said "Learning English and American culture". Then we hit it off and they invited me over their home in Cincinnati. I stayed there for about forthnight and It was a great American experience for me. I got to see Bengals game, King's Island, a wedding Party, country fair etc. That travel and especially my Cincinnati experience was a milestone in my life. By the way, I miss 5 ways chilly so bad :-))
I agree for the most part. Our homicides are up a lot this year. I think that's a consequence of more dealers getting into the game because of the pandemic and decreased police response. More dealers = more competition = more homicides. I still don't think Cincinnati is dangerous comparatively. I've been scared for my life in New Orleans and Miami Beach. Had a gun pulled on me in Panama City but that guy was a pussy so I don't count that one.
I'm from Cincinnati, born and raised! Tolerant as our city may be, sadly, our city is also quite racially segregated, and there are other problems. Kroger keeps closing their stores in black neighborhoods. Downtown is a now mostly ghost town dotted with restaurants and bars. Gentrification is taking even more power away from powerless people in the hoods. Even through all that is wrong, I love my city so much. 513 for life 🌆⛲🐯⚾
They call part of this neighborhood Over the Rhine because the German immigrants thought it reminded them of communities near the Rhine river back in Germany.
@@06alwilliams the drug situation ( like everywhere) and shootings have made this a miserable city. The westside is god awful, you truly take your chances there
I love cincinnati. Lived here majority of my life. I love the old factories and houses, especially union terminal and the trains. I dont want to see it all be torn down..
Usually when somebody says that Cincinnati is live, nine times out of ten, they never been anywhere. Big Grudge, when was the last time you've been outside of Cincinnati? Newport, KY and Covington, KY don't count. If I took you to Chicago, Oakland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta, you'll see how slow, and behind times Cincinnati is.
Rocketman Lewis right... like wtf lol. I have family in pretty much the entire east Coast/South East states, been out the country and all that. Personally, I’m sick of being here but my father loves it (he’s traveled a lot more than me). So it’s definitely not a “you don’t get out much” thing ..... he appreciates the slow pace.

Don't be fooled by historical buildings with NO backyards or front porches, the street is everyone's yard. Hollywood loves this area for the buildings.
Cleveland is only one square mile bigger than cincinnati.. columbus is over 200 square miles,but no population.columbus is about the size as chicago,but nowhere near the population.
Cincinnati is where I’m from, I don’t actually live in Cincinnati but I live just up the highway, I live in between Cincinnati and Dayton they are both only about 20 minutes away from me both ways !!! Even though they are both so close to me I only associate with being from the Cincinnati area !!!
I’m from Columbus but been to Cincinnati a few times. Funny thing there is that the hood is tied into the University of Cincinnati and downtown. So you’ll have just random white people walking and riding bikes in the hood lol
Kinda like Short North and OSU, huh? UC is only connected to Corryville and University Heights, and OTR isn't the only other hood in the city. West End, walnut Hills, Evanston, Avondale, South Cummingsville, Northside, Price Hill, N & S.Fairmont, Lincoln Heights, Seven Hills, College Hill, Westwood, Lockland, Madisonville, and Winton Terrace are not connected to downtown nor UC
@@CKACKAJACKA maybe I should have said “a hood”. I understand Cincinnati is a large city and has multiple hoods. And yes Short North/University district was pretty hood a few years ago but they have gentrified the area so much that there is rarely any low income housing in the area now.
I accidentally drove through these neighborhoods just driving around Cincinnati honestly for all the hoods I’ve seen this was the cleanest but definitely not the safest
@@Cornerkid82 Its not about gentrification. Black people are sitting in two storied houses from the turn of the century, or 1920s bungalows, and then get mad when a white person buys them out for 30k and earn 2 million in profit by flipping and selling.
Growing up as a kid cincy was like NYC to me....its such an old town and has an amazing history, so many great looking neighborhoods yet there’s no way I would go there without a pistol anymore, so disappointing man
Racist? Explain! It's just a observation. the architecture and streets dont look like a "worst area" but when it really is the worst area because of violence and gangs then it's 100% the people that live there.

How you go from one environment to the other in a matter of moments, when I saw the white guy on his bike I thought its alright over there, it doesn't matter where you are, when music is added his makes everything alright.. Nice one Charlie
I love my city! No matter what your race is the best part about cincy is you could get outta your car and join any of those conversations and be accepted and make a new friend! Honestly cincinnati is a friendly city. 513☮💚
London is definitely a lot worse than Gloucester or Cheltenham, but had a car vandalized in Gloucester once (stole my Blaupunkt stereo!). Cheltenham had a lot of "hooligans" that liked to cause trouble but if you looked like you could handle your business they left you alone.
It still is a beautiful city. I go to DTW every week, my band rehearses on John st. Stop at the Amir market for beer and snacks on the reg. I love my city.
&... this is Cincinnati? My Late Mothers Cousin & Mother Lived there Till their Deaths, my Former Church Member's Son Lives there with his Wife, he was from here from Suburban Inglewood, Calif, Outside of L.A. went into the Navy, Met his Wife, Settled in Cincy, Bought a Older 5 Bedroom in the City, had a Child & that's That!
when ur a kid growing up places like that was fun to hang around to be safe and ur never scared of your own ppls or friends they wnt hurt u or anyone else they just mostly scared ppl
A lot of the areas you drove through, in OTR mainly, has been gentrified with shops, restaurants, and bars. Its an amazing neighborhood now. I would say the west end and near UC is where a lot of the crime happens now.
Charlie I notice you go to NYC a lot. Have you done the hoods in Long Island such as Hempstead, wyandanch, New Cassel? Got some nice black areas there too like Wheatley Heights
man i never understood the hype of over the rhine. i’ll drive thru sometimes and it’s nothing but garbage all over, boarded up buildings. it looks like escape from new york .
@@Foreign780 just in comparison look at the picture of a destrict in berlin. In front you see middle class houses and behind you see huge apartment blocks where people live that normally have a lower income (under 30 000 € per year). These apartments have normally between 40-70 square meters for 1-4 people. And the criminal stats are still relative low there cause we don't have a destructivd gang culture.

@westbender 820 really? You mean in ohio? I know that nearly 50 million Americans have German roots and that most of them still appreciate our working attitude and the culture of science,philosophy and technology like we do.
The streets are very active and rough looking, good place to film. It does have more of an east coast vibe with all the crowding and congestion Didn't get a chance to hit all the spots although I do have a little more footage I may post. I'll be coming back to film more here.
CharlieBo313 Agreed. I spend a lot of time in Cincy. Has a bit of that rowhouse vibe in OTR like in Baltimore and Philly. Narrow/tight streets. Lot of that old brick and Victorian. Old city as well. Amazing how far OTR has come though in the area with all the restaurants and business thriving though when 15 years ago it was even worse. All that area was filmed in Traffic with Michael Douglas. The scenes where the daughter was scoring dope down in OTR. Great job as usual man!
the older hood dudes in these areas cool as hell man im from chicago and moved out here like my first day out here dude gettin gas across from me yells “ayee i see u with the pradas on you dont see that shit out here thats tight!” lmao. idk i fee like chicago nobody dishes out compliments like that from across parking lots 😭😭
I patrolled those areas (Over-the-Rhine and the West End) as a uniformed Cincinnati Police Officer off and on from 1994 to 2000. Yeah, they were bad, lots of drug trafficking and violence. Most of the old housing projects (lots of domestic violence and assault calls) in the West End have been torn down, and at least half or more of Over-the-Rhine has been gentrified with urban pioneers, shops, and restaurants.
Worked downtown 6th and Race . Did you know police officer Tom who has passed? My uncle was a Cincinnati PO who was friends with Tom. He worked the West End. He lived around River Road. That's where Pete Rose played base ball with my brother. BOLD FACE PARK. My bro hung at JJ's at corner of 8th and State. Some people called.my brother a legend! It's been years.
@@701CPD Wondering if you knew my Uncle Sheryl Ledford? Some people called him Mr. Led. He retired and moved to Florida. My brother had quite a reputation in Sedamsville .When he was 17 Uncle Sheryl consigned for a 1959 Chevy Impala....with the stipulation that he could drive it to Florida first.. My brother drag raced it at the Lawrenceburg speedway. He was always turning wrenches to make it faster! He was pretty well known for out running the police back then. Erie Ledford's car was called The Black Widow. Spider webs were pinstriped on the black Impala and had a red dot on the top. I was 12 YEARS,YOUNGER than him!
I lived in some of these areas as a child, but like many, I wouldnt trade it for the world. made me who I am today. you could make this video in ANY city in America
Lamel Prince not really sure about that however if you shopped around you probably could find what you looking for in your price range not sure on the Taxes either I don't believe they are astronomical for the area check with a local realtor ???
I remember visiting Cincinnati in May of 2003. I walked the Vine St, elm st, race st areas for 8 months there. I lost count on how many times I was approached by different people asking if I needed anything, even couple of times threatened but luckily I was walking in groups with other guys. Rumors have it the Cincinnati police at times were afraid to go into them areas because they knew how it was too. I can't say I blame them. But to keep a long story short I got the hell out of there in February of 2003.
@@jeremycrowe4693 I went to Bogarts . No problems. My sister dated Orange Colored Sky lead singer Hal. I grew up on Vine. I lived half way up the hill. Where you are speaking of Bogarts .

@@tucky2297 ok thats cool man. Ive been to a few concerts there at Bogarts but its been a long time ago now.

I will see what they have going on at Bogarts. I live just an hour from there .
@@jeremycrowe4693 Yep. It could be difficult unless you know the area. My granny lived around Bogarts. I live in Newport Ky across the river from Cincinnti. It was known for Beverly Hills Supper Club where many people lost their lives years ago. Also known for Racketeering and Strip Clubs years ago. Guess it made Cincinnati seem tame during that time. People were shooting and killing each other in their day.. Kinda mafia mentality... ie Frank Screw Andrew and Vance Raleigh who ran a strip club called The Brass Ass. My in- laws are what brought me there! They said it was a profitable time to live there?
Still great vid, try to go out west or walnut hills, etown further over east, u got riverside, eastend the area u shown errybody nd they mama seen dat, and downtown ain't all that dangerous nomo
I like your channel but would be nice to have street names and or area you are driving in...also how about some rural areas where the living aint easy....just a suggestion...Stay safe.
One of my favorite Midwest City's the Architecture is beautiful in most parts that I've seen I lived there for like 10 years well in the Area and I liked Cincinnati I also went to the Cincinnati Job Corps on Western Avenue a lot of good Memories and also Northern Kentucky Cool place to be
There's something about the vibe & the colors of these hoods that just make u like it... Being from south side LA, our hoods are wild & lil more fast pace.
I used to live on Chickering which is one block from the Winton projects. There were a few times we had gunshots on our street. We had a breakin from some Juvies but they didn't get past our security known as Sadie, the pit bull! All in all, during the day, it's all fine but I wouldn't drive through there at night.
Look at the skyline, and you'll see what I thought were mountains in the background. I learned that they're hills. Remind me how many hills there are in Cincinnati?
I grew up in Cincinnati and there are many hills around the city with parks that have a overlook. Cincinnati is actually a beautiful city with a lot of history. A lot of people don't know that.
I had many great times in these areas. And blessed everyone treated me like family. I miss hanging down in these parts but everyone i know is gone from there now in 2020

So much beautiful architecture there just going to waste. Sad
Yes the area itself doesn't look that bad. Maybe it's the people who make this place worst.
@@Larrypint thats racist!
@@robingeilhuber6081 truth is racist
Robin Geilhuber no it’s not lmao
Racist? Explain! It's just a observation. the architecture and streets dont look like a "worst area" but when it really is the worst area because of violence and gangs then it's 100% the people that live there.
A lot of nice architecture
I'm still tryna figure out how Charlie be knowin all the blocks to pull up on dat be jumpin??🤣🤣🤣 I'm salty when he was ridin thru A-1 he ain't show footage of Carplin, I'm 100% sure y'all woulda seen me on da block😭😭😭😭 no cap🤷🏾♂️
Hes been asking mfs in his first videos
I ain't heard anyone say A1 in a minute. Crazy how that's not apart of the language as it used to be. They'll never know.
@@captbshields I'm 33 brodie, I ain't a young nigga so a lot or my lingo still be original shit from back in the day lol. An I really love my hood so it's 4eva gon be A-1 since day 1 ya dig💯💪🏾
How you go from one environment to the other in a matter of moments, when I saw the white guy on his bike I thought its alright over there, it doesn't matter where you are, when music is added his makes everything alright..
Nice one Charlie
I love my city! No matter what your race is the best part about cincy is you could get outta your car and join any of those conversations and be accepted and make a new friend! Honestly cincinnati is a friendly city. 513☮💚
Facts I used to play basketball on the Silverton courts and I was from VA
You ain't make it to the other end of Linn where I live its bad down here too you missed it
the nati is so live fr we be fucking chillin
Next videos I’d love: Charlie goes to London UKs worst hoods...that would be interesting.
London is definitely a lot worse than Gloucester or Cheltenham, but had a car vandalized in Gloucester once (stole my Blaupunkt stereo!). Cheltenham had a lot of "hooligans" that liked to cause trouble but if you looked like you could handle your business they left you alone.
I've been up here since August 23rd and I've have searched for the hood side of Cincinnati the hole in the wall restaurants have the best food
Peace ! 513 in here!!!
Bet this was a beautiful city way back when
Yeah, and the racism was even worse too. Not very beautiful if you ask me. But Cincinnati is my home, the city that raised me.
It still is a beautiful city. I go to DTW every week, my band rehearses on John st. Stop at the Amir market for beer and snacks on the reg. I love my city.
&... this is Cincinnati?
My Late Mothers Cousin & Mother Lived there Till their Deaths, my Former Church Member's Son Lives there with his Wife, he was from here from Suburban Inglewood, Calif, Outside of L.A. went into the Navy, Met his Wife, Settled in Cincy, Bought a Older 5 Bedroom in the City, had a Child & that's That!
when ur a kid growing up places like that was fun to hang around to be safe and ur never scared of your own ppls or friends they wnt hurt u or anyone else they just mostly scared ppl
A lot of the areas you drove through, in OTR mainly, has been gentrified with shops, restaurants, and bars. Its an amazing neighborhood now. I would say the west end and near UC is where a lot of the crime happens now.
OTR will always be the same. Shootings everyday like normal
You forgot about Westwood, Millville ,moose wood, the day, wonton terrace, bond hill, rose lawn
Roselawn plz... U mean walnut hillz, the fay, lower price hill,west wood, E town
Wat bout Kennedy hts 😭😭😭
Walnut hills all day, McMillian ppl’s corner to be exact💯
513 raised! It's getting gentrified in Over-The-Rhine now......
Born and raised in the 513
Maaaan I haven't been back in a couple of years. The Faye, Smokestacks, Evanston, Fairmont, Lower Price Hill, so many hoods back in the day.
Maaaaan driving around those spots in OTR I used to roam around. Ain't nothing changes in some parts. Much respect for stopping in Roselawn!
Mane every hood in America is getting gentrified its ridiculous
Good
Charlie I notice you go to NYC a lot. Have you done the hoods in Long Island such as Hempstead, wyandanch, New Cassel? Got some nice black areas there too like Wheatley Heights
I think Charlie did Hempstead. New cassel really only one street, prospect.
Babylon is done.
America isn't babylon you moron. Thats saudi arabia or jizzrael.
man i never understood the hype of over the rhine. i’ll drive thru sometimes and it’s nothing but garbage all over, boarded up buildings. it looks like escape from new york .
8:18 greetz from Germany, this looks like good middle class houses in Germany. ...maybe it's the people and gang "culture" that makes this area worst.
It looks beautiful but its still poor and yes it also has a toxic culture in any hood in america
It might be middle class over their but not here
@@Foreign780 just in comparison look at the picture of a destrict in berlin. In front you see middle class houses and behind you see huge apartment blocks where people live that normally have a lower income (under 30 000 € per year). These apartments have normally between 40-70 square meters for 1-4 people. And the criminal stats are still relative low there cause we don't have a destructivd gang culture. Just some Arab,Turkish clans become a problem there. www.tagesspiegel.de/images/das-gelaende-der-iga-2017-internationale-garten-ausstellung-in-den-gaerten-der-welt-und-dem-kienbergpark-mit-wuhleteich-in-berlin-marzahn-und-hellersdorf-aufgenommen-am-12-oktober-2017-im-bild-die-wassergaerten-promenade-aquatica-foto-kitty-kleist-heinrich/22810712/2-format43.jpg
@@Larrypint well that and we have a drug problem wich gangs usually try to control but I was just making a point that even though it looks nice its still poor
@westbender 820 really? You mean in ohio? I know that nearly 50 million Americans have German roots and that most of them still appreciate our working attitude and the culture of science,philosophy and technology like we do.
Missed the whole westside fr tho. Cumminsville millville moosewood fairmount the fay..
I remeber that!!
Ya hear me the WHOLE WEST SIDE just showed dtw
A nothing out west babe he dtw usa
Wow a lot of hoods on the east & Midwest resemble a lot!
Midwest like the east and the south combined with a sprinkle of oakland lol
Armond Chaney interesting shit
Good video, Charlie! The first 8 mins of the video gave me a bit of an East Coast vibe. What's your take on Cincinnati?
The streets are very active and rough looking, good place to film. It does have more of an east coast vibe with all the crowding and congestion Didn't get a chance to hit all the spots although I do have a little more footage I may post. I'll be coming back to film more here.
CharlieBo313 Agreed. I spend a lot of time in Cincy. Has a bit of that rowhouse vibe in OTR like in Baltimore and Philly. Narrow/tight streets. Lot of that old brick and Victorian. Old city as well. Amazing how far OTR has come though in the area with all the restaurants and business thriving though when 15 years ago it was even worse. All that area was filmed in Traffic with Michael Douglas. The scenes where the daughter was scoring dope down in OTR. Great job as usual man!
Wow Cincinnati looks a lot like the east coast. Interesting.
Both eastern and southern. There’s a part looks east coast and a part looks country
Yes it does,some sorces say it rivals baltimore and boston
Probably cuz it’s right by the east coast
@@marposted Cincinnati is right by the east coast? You need a geography lesson buddy.
Fabio Leyva Yeah cuz Ohio is by the east coast states, I wasn’t even trynna be mean get out your feelings
the older hood dudes in these areas cool as hell man im from chicago and moved out here like my first day out here dude gettin gas across from me yells “ayee i see u with the pradas on you dont see that shit out here thats tight!” lmao. idk i fee like chicago nobody dishes out compliments like that from across parking lots 😭😭
On my
Way here also from the
City lbs
As someone from Cincinnati, I’ve been on most of the streets and areas even if I just rode pass or visited family
I patrolled those areas (Over-the-Rhine and the West End) as a uniformed Cincinnati Police Officer off and on from 1994 to 2000. Yeah, they were bad, lots of drug trafficking and violence. Most of the old housing projects (lots of domestic violence and assault calls) in the West End have been torn down, and at least half or more of Over-the-Rhine has been gentrified with urban pioneers, shops, and restaurants.
Worked downtown 6th and Race . Did you know police officer Tom who has passed? My uncle was a Cincinnati PO who was friends with Tom. He worked the West End. He lived around River Road. That's where Pete Rose played base ball with my brother. BOLD FACE PARK. My bro hung at JJ's at corner of 8th and State. Some people called.my brother a legend! It's been years.
@@tucky2297 Yes, I knew, and was work friends with Tom Haas, who passed away from cancer this past year. He was a good man, and he is missed.
@@701CPD Wondering if you knew my Uncle Sheryl Ledford? Some people called him Mr. Led. He retired and moved to Florida. My brother had quite a reputation in Sedamsville .When he was 17 Uncle Sheryl consigned for a 1959 Chevy Impala....with the stipulation that he could drive it to Florida first.. My brother drag raced it at the Lawrenceburg speedway. He was always turning wrenches to make it faster! He was pretty well known for out running the police back then. Erie Ledford's car was called The Black Widow. Spider webs were pinstriped on the black Impala and had a red dot on the top. I was 12 YEARS,YOUNGER than him!
@@701CPD MY brothers name was Ernie Ledford.
Why didn’t you show lower Price Hill?
I feel like a few years ago it wasn’t that bad but lately it’s gotten noticeably worse.
What part of Cincinnati is this? I thought OTR, but OTR's been blitzed by gentrification, right?
Its west end and the northern part of Over The Rhine
I lived in some of these areas as a child, but like many, I wouldnt trade it for the world. made me who I am today. you could make this video in ANY city in America
Right On, I Was Always Taught To Never Forget Where I Came From. 💯
Looks like a lot of abandoned property out there wonder if it's worth the money to buy it
Lamel Prince yep for the low for now!!
Gentrification?
Jbird yep exactly in its early phases some those same buildings have sat empty for years untouched so??
@@crystalbrame7886 What is the average price per building?
Lamel Prince not really sure about that however if you shopped around you probably could find what you looking for in your price range not sure on the Taxes either I don't believe they are astronomical for the area check with a local realtor ???
Cincinnati has a LOT of interesting architecture. Plus it has an abandoned subway system that never opened
I wish it was a actual subway
Next time you come to Cincinnati you need to go to Price Hill, Westwood, fair mount, basically the west side
Cincinnati's own Bootsy Collins 🌟 and Katt Williams.
I remember visiting Cincinnati in May of 2003. I walked the Vine St, elm st, race st areas for 8 months there. I lost count on how many times I was approached by different people asking if I needed anything, even couple of times threatened but luckily I was walking in groups with other guys. Rumors have it the Cincinnati police at times were afraid to go into them areas because they knew how it was too. I can't say I blame them. But to keep a long story short I got the hell out of there in February of 2003.
I use to go to Bogarts to watch concerts on Vine St. man it was bad
@@jeremycrowe4693 I went to Bogarts . No problems. My sister dated Orange Colored Sky lead singer Hal. I grew up on Vine. I lived half way up the hill.
Where you are speaking of Bogarts
.
It's more like Mount Alburn area. Short Vine? I lived in that area as well. Ever heard of Infrared Studio? That's where I went to rap contests. No problems ? T
@@tucky2297 ok thats cool man. Ive been to a few concerts there at Bogarts but its been a long time ago now. My first time going i got lost and honestly i couldn't tell you where exactly i ended up but it was around Bogarts and Vine St. Id like to go back again honestly. I will see what they have going on at Bogarts. I live just an hour from there .
@@tucky2297 plus it was always night when i went so it was hard to find my way around.
@@jeremycrowe4693 Yep. It could be difficult unless you know the area. My granny lived around Bogarts. I live in Newport Ky across the river from Cincinnti. It was known for Beverly Hills Supper Club where many people lost their lives years ago. Also known for Racketeering and Strip Clubs years ago. Guess it made Cincinnati seem tame during that time. People were shooting and killing each other in their day.. Kinda mafia mentality... ie Frank Screw Andrew and Vance Raleigh who ran a strip club called The Brass Ass. My in- laws are what brought me there! They said it was a profitable time to live there?
Still great vid, try to go out west or walnut hills, etown further over east, u got riverside, eastend the area u shown errybody nd they mama seen dat, and downtown ain't all that dangerous nomo
I like your channel but would be nice to have street names and or area you are driving in...also how about some rural areas where the living aint easy....just a suggestion...Stay safe.
Compared to Cleveland’s worst parts this isn’t bad
Beautiful italianate architecture
I love this, it's my old hood "down the way" lived above Tuckers on Vine the cover photo is literally one building away.
One of my favorite Midwest City's the Architecture is beautiful in most parts that I've seen I lived there for like 10 years well in the Area and I liked Cincinnati I also went to the Cincinnati Job Corps on Western Avenue a lot of good Memories and also Northern Kentucky Cool place to be
I love this city!!!
There's something about the vibe & the colors of these hoods that just make u like it... Being from south side LA, our hoods are wild & lil more fast pace.
He rode through when it was a moment of calm, them young cats out there bodying shit... Its retarded here..
@@mikestew76 🙊🙊
I been walkimg amd driving thru every bad part of Cincinnati since 7 years old.
Bruh YOU DROVE PAST MY HOUSE AND MY CAR
There hoods look so beautiful.
My grandfather outside 😭🤣🤣🤣
Lmbo! 513!!!
It ain’t that bad in the Nasti y’all 😂 this video makes the city look raw asf tho. At least we have beautiful architecture
I used to live on Chickering which is one block from the Winton projects. There were a few times we had gunshots on our street. We had a breakin from some Juvies but they didn't get past our security known as Sadie, the pit bull! All in all, during the day, it's all fine but I wouldn't drive through there at night.
Wow if this is the worst, it is a pretty cool city actually.
North otr and avondale 💯. I think u missed Clifton which is live asf at night and north Avondale. Next time go to the west side around price hill
Or go allll the way up north to college hill and Winton hills
@@mustydank2241 facts
My band rehearses on John street, close to that Amir market.
It’s a lot more lively than I had thought.
Look at the skyline, and you'll see what I thought were mountains in the background. I learned that they're hills. Remind me how many hills there are in Cincinnati?
San Fran is certainly the hilliest large city in the US. After that I would say Pittsburgh would be second and perhaps followed by Cincinnati.

I grew up in Cincinnati and there are many hills around the city with parks that have a overlook. Cincinnati is actually a beautiful city with a lot of history. A lot of people don't know that.
There are seven hills in Cincinnati
Well, I sometimes forget Cincinnati is nicknamed "the city of the seven hills".
Welcome to the city.
I had many great times in these areas. And blessed everyone treated me like family. I miss hanging down in these parts but everyone i know is gone from there now in 2020
