Illmatic

Don’t be fooled bro that place is ghetto

People got the nerve to ask why I'm not moving back. I joined the Army and got the hell outta there. I barely got back to visit my mother.

I went through this hood on the way to a track meet in this city.

One of the most fucked up towns in the state of New York it’s very draining

DAMN NEWBURGH LOOKS LIKE A DUMP...I LEFT IN 09 THEM ROADS ARE THE SAME WAY I LEFT THEM...THE Mayor and who evwr else steals the money...Look at beacon its beautiful in that town ans Newburgh looks like a dump still

There’s a cornball in a red Acura stalking my home as usual

Salute to the trashy filthy stalkers on my side of. Beacon Ny

It looks beautiful.

Don’t come into our city if it’s that bad cause you aren’t finding anything out in that area you look pretty stupid recording and labeling the city when you have zero proof

These are what I call REAL APARTMENT BUILDINGS!!! Block walls, Block wall in-between each unit, ALL that CONCRETE & STEEL doors= PIECE & QUIET & SECURITY. WOW!! Someone was using their noodle when they built these!! In my area apartment buildings have been involved in TOTAL LOSS FIRES because of the LOUSY wood frame construction & those MANSARD ROOFS that RAPIDLY SPREAD THE RAGING FIRES!! They had a beauty in Mt Prospect & Prospect Height Il where the WHOLE 3rd floor BURNED OFF!! I really wish that they could have built non project apartments with this robustness!! If you had a fire it would be contained to only one unit. Man I wish I could steal these buildings & carefully set them down in my town & live there with out the FEAR of the WHOLE thing BURNING TO THE GROUND!! I really respect whoever built these WELL BUILT BUILDINGS & wish I could have seen this on private apartment buildings in my area. I wish that they could make this MINIMUM CODE whenever they build apartments, condos, Retirment communities, day care centers, assisted living facilities, nursing homes & the list goes on. When they have a FIRE in any of the places I listed its usually PRETTY UGLY!! with a great deal of damage.

The former chief FBI agent in Niagara Falls in the 70s was talking about how much the pull that the mob had over city government. He said that any project the city was paying for some of it was taken off the top, so coming in close to budget was impossible. He said that the city built a phone booth and it came in at about $1,000 higher. A phone booth.

Looks nice!!

as a wilkes barre resident i can confirm that area still looks like the hood 😭😭 /srs

😢

Rochester isn’t a bad place, there are really beautiful parts of the city, and other towns like Hilton, Greece, Brighton and more.

Do u ever talk or ur a mute

Look like a dump

i grew up in this area in the 1960's. The Armory straight ahead is my old neighborhood. Wood Street! Gemma's Market was there back then, though I imagine it's changed hands a number of times. Bucklin and Dexter Streets where the Virginia Spanish Peanut Company was. Wendell street, the brick building with the green door was the Coken Company. They made all the street signs there. Messer Street School was my elementary school. The Orange building in front of the fire station was a fish and chips store. West Elmwood was a rough part of town even back then, but it looked a lot better back in the day.

Wow Pedro still had some of his legs here now he has none

~ This Guy Is REAL Federally 😮😂

Horrible place to live

Yep I’m from Here terrible

Looks dreary and poor with crime lurking, outdated look like 1920's

2:52 Plum Street! i grew up in the middle unit on the right. #greenstreetprojects #steamboatsquare

I used to get bootleg toys from The bargain center as a kid. Fake ass transformers.. Dudley Street. I used to shop at the fruit basket supermarket on the corner... You got monadnock Street.. Bird Street.. head up Columbia road one way and you're in Blue Hill... Go to other way and you get to Andrew square. I used to bank groceries from 6:00 to midnight.. at Star market in Brookline. I would take like the last bus from Andrew station until to upham's corner.. get home in about 1:30 a.m.. I became this creature of the night sort of.. lost any light turns to alcohol crack.. exposed to drugs from a relative just.. don't even know how I survived.. I was never a criminal I just worked and had a drug problem. Drugs violence alcoholism. Poverty.. my house had no water sometimes... Sewage backing up from the basement.

I was born and raised on Virginia Street.. 48 Virginia that house belongs to some other family now. 20 years I live there.. I had a tough childhood getting jumped a lot I went to the William e Russell School. Single mom on welfare no dad... A gang called the Falcons shattered all the windows of my house once. Lots of good people.. I Knew some good kids growing up. Came home from a friend's once in my home was boarded up.. it's surreal to look at this.

this is what google maps street view should be lol That's my childhood friend's house on the left at 5:52 ...back in 1989-1990, that road you're driving down passed the house used to get flooded and we used to just walk through it knee deep.

I live in the falls a few times,my dad's side of the family is from there. It was run down the last time I went up there in like 2010. 63 street and Niagarafalls Blvd. I loved going up there as a kid to see my brother and grandparents. I had a lot of good memories up there. It was a big change coming from Houston t.x to the falls. I loved it.

I hate to live where there is hills

Your video is very well made and eye opening. But, and this is a biggie, too many ad interruptions. Very distracting. Lose the ads and I might return.

Ok

If you see dudes hanging around the driver's side of a parked car frontin' like they talking, chances are they Dealing.
