You're brave but I dare you to drive at night in the Alphabet Hood in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. While you are in the area, go to the city of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada, at night! and then South West side and city centre in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. If you try that and are breathing still, then you're ready for the most dangerous and Violent City in Canada: Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. NORTH CENTRAL is the "hood" however the hood is actually a larger area than that. You'll have to do the research. I recommend not driving around between 1130pm to 4am. God be with you if you try.
These houses have been abandoned a long time. This didn't just happen yesterday. Once they were all thriving neighborhoods which shows how huge the auto industry was and how it provided a good life for so many people before it all fell apart.
@@joshwag9136 I disagree. Things started going downhill after the riots in '67. The 70s/80s were a bad stretch of time in Detroit, huge influx of drugs and crime.
You're right these all used to be promising and upcoming neighborhoods and people, until something happened it doesn't take a genius to figure out what that was.
I lived in Detroit from the early 80s to the mid 90s glad I got out of there, I had fun when I was a kid bur when I got to my teens nothing but misery heartache and pain almost lost my life on more than a few occasions and witness first hand many murders and killings I'll never return there.
I used to live here, man. Little kid in the 70s. Beautiful houses, lawns neatly manicured, people sitting on screened porches. White people everywhere. We were the 2nd black family in the neighborhood and it was all good. The husbands had factory jobs and the wives stayed at home. Peaceful. Safe. Motown. It was Hot Fun in the Summertime. All of that is long gone.
Thank Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama for globalization's offshoring and outsourcing of jobs. NAFTA, TPP, and other "free trade" agreements were just cover for destroying American business. Because economic and financial freedom IS freedom.
You can tell who is trying to upkeep their yards and homes in the middle of chaos. The city needs to get to bulldozing those abandoned houses and pull the abandoned cars and trucks out. At least do that much for the ppl that would like a nice area to live in.
They've tried. But every time they entrust any of their city leaders with money, they pocket the cash and steal from the people. Furthermore, the Democrats believe in high taxes and the counter doesn't stop just because the house is abandoned. Most of these houses you see have large tax liens on them. For this reason, you can find houses for sale in Detroit for $1,000. But whoever buys the house is now on the hook for the back taxes. Often times 10s of thousands of dollars worth.
Had family who lived in Detroit and they bought a Honda minivan. Obviously, that's a bad look in Detroit. When they bought a new van, they bought the same Honda in the same color. That was deliberate so they wouldn't draw any more ire from neighbors.
East Side was always a rougher part of Detroit, even back in the 60s and 70s, but there were many more inhabited structures and functioning commercial properties because there were more people whom resided there that were _working_ too!
Yea because there were jobs worth doing. Dunno if you've been down there but there's not much commerce, and insurance makes cars cost prohibitive for ppl in poverty here. A lot couldn't even go outside of the area to get a job if they wanted to.
Though I'm a Dearborn Heights native & current Detroit resident (albeit in the NW area; Telegraph-Grand River are), I've always had an affinity 4 the East Side (dangers aside). That's bc the majority of the residential properties had more BRICK & MORTAR HOUSES than most other areas w/in the city of Detroit. Those type of house (w/proper care; of course) stand "the test of time". 2.5 yrs ago, I did a "house-sitting" 4 my 4mer landlord @ a house on E. State Fair (near 7 Mile btwn Hayes & Kelly) that I luved (gr8 furnace, mind u). Un4tun8ly; it was alrdy rented out; I "house-sat" there 2 prevent theft of the furnace & HWT--Hot Water Tank. @ least I was compens8d 4 the house-sittings w/$40 per nite & a case of BEER!!!!!
I grew up in St. Clair Shores and my family attended a Lutheran church on the corner of Lakeview and Vernor Highway, in 1967 and 1968. I saw this church still standing in one of Charlie’s videos, just by chance recognized it and confirmed it using google. Most of the houses near that church are gone, replaced by lush green grass.
What strikes me in some of these videos are the amount of big mature trees. I guess abandoned houses are good for nature eh Same thing with the videos in like Alabama, some of the hoods have lots of greenery in a way
Coleman Young was the absolute worst thing to happen to Detroit. Sadly, blacks hated him so much they kept him in office for twenty years. Make sense of that.
I used to deliver for doordash in this area. It's interesting because, if you see what I see, it's not scary. Are there buildings in decay? Yes. Are there piles of rubble and trash lining the streets from mismanagement of public services? Yes. However. Do you see the vehicles of the houses that are occupied? Do you see the amount of kids? For every burned out house, how many are actually decent and in some state of repair? Look at the street corners and where people are congregating. This isn't an area that's a hotspot for drug trafficking on the street corners. It's really strange as some of the more dangerous areas congregate in more open area club type post-warehouse districts or parks. What you're seeing aren't crackhouses, oddly enough. And this area isn't known for widespread gang activity (much of detroit isn't populated with organized street gangs, even if some claim to.)
Poor people litter. Dont blame poor people choosing to litter, on city services. Come to Colorado. We have the same density without ANY of the litter. Because people here CHOOSE not to litter
@Jayxd180 exactly why we don't have the litter that other places like Milwaukee, where i grew up, do. You missed the point and I'm PROUD that Colorado is LESS of a shithole than wherever you are from. Grow up
I travel back to the Detroit area each month to look in on and take care of my elderly parents in Berkley, MI. If you travel down Woodward Ave towards Detroit....everything is fine until you cross over into Highland Park. They need to put a sign up..."Caution, you are now entering a war zone!" Detroit can't seem to do anything right. I took my dad for a trip out onto Belle Isle. I was absolutely shocked to see how nice it was. I then realized....Belle Isle was taken over by the State of Michigan from Detroit. The state cleaned the place up and made it nice again. Something Detroit could never do. There are two Detroit's actually....the one you see in videos like this. Then...you've got the nice areas of the city where "gentrification" has taken place. More affluent, wealthy individuals have moved back into the city and cleaned it up. Traveling down Woodward Ave from the suburbs to the north....you can easily see this. Once you cross over I-94 you'll start to see transformation happen right before your eyes. You'll see Wayne State University and the Detroit Institute of Arts, Little Caesars Arena, Detroit Tigers Comerica Park, The Fox Theater and Campus Martius Park to name a few. You'll see nice restaurants and bars and MANY individuals outside having fun. It doesn't matter though....you'll still get the typical people bitching about it like the person that wrote this article in the Detroit Free Press. No matter what you do.....you're still going to have assholes that do nothing but focus on race and skin color. www.freep.com/story/entertainment/dining/2022/05/14/detroit-new-restaurants-diversity/9613474002/
how would you say Detroit is for foreign travellers? im from London and im planning to visit Detroit, just doing my research, obv id be staying out of the hoods.
@@bdot4988 If you're used to visiting the U.S. it shouldn't be an issue. Being from the London area...the most obvious difference will be driving on the "other side" of the roads. A rental car is pretty much a must have. The roads in the Detroit area are horrible. Pot-Holes everywhere from the use of salt in the winter months and also the large amounts of trucks. Your best bet would be a Hotel out in the suburbs. A good one for location would be the Dearborn Inn (Marriott). Its located in Henry Fords Hometown and its across the street from the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. (interesting and well worth seeing). If you're visiting the city of Detroit.....you're better off driving in during the daytime. If art is your thing....the Detroit Institute of Art is an absolute must see then. The New York Art advisory firm "Artvest Partners" valued the DIA's art collection at 4.6 billion. The "Wedding Dance" Pieter Bruegel (1566), Self-portrait Vincent Van Gogh (1887) and works of Claude Monet are just some of the things that can be seen. In Detroit....the downtown area around Greektown, Stadiums, Fox Theater and the Casino's are the primary areas to hang out. Don't get yourself caught in other areas of east or west Detroit.
@@lorenjackson8961 I'm from Dearborn and the Marriott is super nice I highly recommend. I basically second everything Loren has said. East and West Detroit really isn't bad no matter what time of day as long as you're on the main road.
@@BoxedLunches What part of Dearborn? I grew up in Dearborn in the 60's and 70's. I lived on Campbell St....first block off of Outer Dr. Two streets over from Whitmore Bolles Elementary.
@@1982kinger I believe you're think of the Chris Harden channel. He does commentary and history. I like how Charlie does his videos and Harden. They each have their own style
My dad had a store there on the east side on east warren and alter road I grew up there and I’m so glad I grew out of there Amen I had a lot of good times though also a lot of bad!
Never forget, at one time detroit rivaled new york and chicago as teh place to be! So said its gone. I used to roam them streets for dimebags, now, hell theres nothing left!
There used to be a guy who patrolled the abandoned neighborhoods of Detroit, keeping an eye on what was going on and reporting crimes. I watched a lot of his videos but can't recall who he was now. This was a few years ago.
-probably because they can't afford it. And there's no incentive unless it's structurally unsafe. Their house is already worth THOUSANDS LESS than when they bought it!
My grandmother said you can tell who lives inside by how the outside looks and you can see some people that care are still there, sprinkled into the surrounding decay.
it's not THAT bad. you'd be fine driving there in the daytime. I would avoid driving there at night unless you're in a large group and don't walk around there at night
Detroit covers a massive amount of land. Most of the recovery you hear about probably stems from the downtown area and it’s immediate neighbors. Once you go a couple of miles out from the downtown, it can start to look more like you see in the video here. Regardless, there is growth occurring. Just not so much in some of the neighborhoods further away from the downtown..Yet.
@@SonicRusher00 There is no comeback YET. I live here in the D. Born and raised. All what you're saying I'm already familiar about. The problem is too many folks are brainwashed by the media. I told folks to never believe the media. Go and investigate for yourself. That BS came out after Kilpatrick was arrested and went to prison months later. It's all media hype When you're talking about a "comeback" the entire city must be accounted and completed it's total transformation. Once that occurs then you can say Detroit is making a comeback. It's going to take billions of dollars, investments and it's people to make it happen. It's a process. Detroit must complete the total process of total betterment to call it a "comeback." As of now there is no comeback. The decay is still present.
@@lonnellbivins4787 I totally agree with you about the comeback being far from complete. Not even sure what it would look like when it’s “done”. It will likely not be for another two generations if anything is going to happen. I’m sure you have a much clearer idea of the situation. I appreciate your input. Here’s to hoping though! Hopefully, the whole of Detroit can a see a Renaissance of sorts. We’ll see. Take it easy :)
You can tell that this was once a thriving, peaceful and happy neighborhood, some of those homes still look pretty decent. However, It's giving me an eerie vibe...like if a plague struck and folk just had to leave in a hurry.😩
@@agentbuckshot4697 Your first comment specifically refers to cars. I’m responding in kind. Don’t move the goalposts. The US car manufacturers started losing market share long before China became a mfg power. And American consumers are not buying cars made in China.
Maybe I just don't have the street smarts to get it, but a lot of these neighborhoods just looked abandoned. There were kids out playing, people walking around and socializing, you weren't getting too many paranoid stares. Is there something I am missing that makes this a 'no go zone'? It just seemed like your average run down rust belt ruins
My old neighborhood located off of Filbert on the eastside is almost gone, my old house is gone, found out someone got murdered in it after I moved out
Pretty much looks like every major city in America these days, as long as you have someone to blame it on everyone goes on sleepwalking. If our country continues to ignore the real problem, nothing will get better...by design.
We as a people need to start taking care of ourselves, and not depend on the government to give us aid. Detroit was a predominantly Afro American city. Our manufacturing jobs were moved overseas, and the US economy has suffered because of this. This destruction came from greed.
@@christeenkimmel4907 I checked from google street view and even found from syracuse st. and that half fallen tree. Does anyone know how ancient those google pictures are?
The urban prairie is taking over the East Side. I have to wonder how much influence the residents of Grosse Pointe had in bulldozing the abandoned properties.
Yup 😂. Why not the people there taking pride in their neighborhood and do themselves that favor? 🤔 Me thinks that lazy/carelessness isn't specific to Detroit but rather a common problem with the "hoods".
@@loudring6247 It's not just the ghettos. Look at the Appalachians. Crime, drug, and poverty infested too. This is what happens when good jobs aren't available and citizens aren't educated.
There isn't a gate or both with The National Guard patrolling it, it's a neighborhood in Detroit people recomend others don't go to if they don't have to, especially at night.

I live here in the D. Born and raised. All what you're saying I'm already familiar about.
The problem is too many folks are brainwashed by the media. I told folks to never believe the media. Go and investigate for yourself. That BS came out after Kilpatrick was arrested and went to prison months later. It's all media hype
When you're talking about a "comeback" the entire city must be accounted and completed it's total transformation. Once that occurs then you can say Detroit is making a comeback.
It's going to take billions of dollars, investments and it's people to make it happen. It's a process. Detroit must complete the total process of total betterment to call it a "comeback."
As of now there is no comeback.
The decay is still present.
@@lonnellbivins4787 I totally agree with you about the comeback being far from complete. Not even sure what it would look like when it’s “done”. It will likely not be for another two generations if anything is going to happen. I’m sure you have a much clearer idea of the situation. I appreciate your input. Here’s to hoping though! Hopefully, the whole of Detroit can a see a Renaissance of sorts. We’ll see. Take it easy :)
@@SonicRusher00 Thank you. My guess is that it's going to take at least 20 - 30 years.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Fallout 5 graphics looking 🔥
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower…
You can tell that this was once a thriving, peaceful and happy neighborhood, some of those homes still look pretty decent. However, It's giving me an eerie vibe...like if a plague struck and folk just had to leave in a hurry.😩
I've been to the east side visiting my uncle
Midwest used to be an automotive industry giant before all the jobs got shipped overseas to Chinese factories.
We aren’t buying cars made in China.
@@DavidFobare Manufacturing jobs are outsourced all over, but China is the big one.
@@agentbuckshot4697 Your first comment specifically refers to cars. I’m responding in kind. Don’t move the goalposts. The US car manufacturers started losing market share long before China became a mfg power. And American consumers are not buying cars made in China.
I lived in Detroit on Erwin st. in the 50's It was a great place to live....then they came in and all the whites moved out....this is true everywhere
Sad how we grew up! 😢
Legend says we bought Detroit from the Indians for two barrels of beads. Today they wouldn't take it back for all the gold in Fort Knox.
Who is we ????
Never been earlier on one of your vids
What streets are you driving on?
Hey, Charlie !! When are you going to come to Argentina?? Kind regards!
Maybe I just don't have the street smarts to get it, but a lot of these neighborhoods just looked abandoned. There were kids out playing, people walking around and socializing, you weren't getting too many paranoid stares. Is there something I am missing that makes this a 'no go zone'? It just seemed like your average run down rust belt ruins
Nice camera work
You should really do one of Reading pa, Lancaster pa, and Allentown pa.
Can you do the intersection of Cadillac and Candfield next?
Where this at 7 mile?
I see no problem here, families socialising and children playing in the streets
Some of these front yard havnt been mowed for a hot minute and im pretty positive it will remain like that
Looks a lot like Birmingham AL
💻⬆😀 valeu !
Holy crap, as bad as those roads are, you KNOW thats the best theyll ever be! No ones gonna spend a penny of tax dollars in those areas.

Need that Lil Jay interview
💪🏾
Do Cleveland!! 👍👍
My old neighborhood located off of Filbert on the eastside is almost gone, my old house is gone, found out someone got murdered in it after I moved out
have u kept track of how many miles you've driven
Pretty much looks like every major city in America these days, as long as you have someone to blame it on everyone goes on sleepwalking. If our country continues to ignore the real problem, nothing will get better...by design.
That's one big regularly city
Those abandoned houses is probably makes it a great place for the scammers & banners ifykyk 👨🏽💻
I went to ferry elementary
We as a people need to start taking care of ourselves, and not depend on the government to give us aid. Detroit was a predominantly Afro American city. Our manufacturing jobs were moved overseas, and the US economy has suffered because of this. This destruction came from greed.
Damn, I Googled Detroit Zillow, how'd I end up here?
The CharlieBo comment section is where I feel at home 🤗
It's the people that run places down
Please post what major streets are nearby or show the signs so we can gauge where you're going.
One street sign I saw was Albany, also Syracuse and Emery.
@@christeenkimmel4907 thanks
🤑
@@christeenkimmel4907 I checked from google street view and even found from syracuse st. and that half fallen tree. Does anyone know how ancient those google pictures are?

Yo Charlie you should check out hoods in Montreal in Canada
The urban prairie is taking over the East Side. I have to wonder how much influence the residents of Grosse Pointe had in bulldozing the abandoned properties.
RIP WIPEOUT
Immigrants gonna come in and clean all that shit up just watch
Yup 😂. Why not the people there taking pride in their neighborhood and do themselves that favor? 🤔 Me thinks that lazy/carelessness isn't specific to Detroit but rather a common problem with the "hoods".
Mexicans already did it along W Vernor & parts of Corktown. Instead of "keeping it real" they're keeping it clean & safe.
@@loudring6247 It's not just the ghettos. Look at the Appalachians. Crime, drug, and poverty infested too. This is what happens when good jobs aren't available and citizens aren't educated.
Where's the tourist information centre? 🤔
Charlie bo!
If that’s a no go zone how did you film it?
There isn't a gate or both with The National Guard patrolling it, it's a neighborhood in Detroit people recomend others don't go to if they don't have to, especially at night.
good sharing
What Arabs did understand ?
I've been down there more than once the city don't give ad it's sad.
Glad to see those Russian missile strikes didn't take everything out.
Take it the weeds good 👍 lol 😆 wits been happening in the hood 🤣
