I visited Harlem on vacation last month and its was very clean, the shopping was incredible, everyone was friendly and helped me with directions. I have to stop believing what I see on T.V..
Yup, i ❤ harlem. Mainly bcuz of the history. Everytime i go to ny i hit harlem. Learnd my way around pretty gd too 😊. Jacobs on 129th lenox & Malcolm x blvd i never miss. Get a booth near the window n eat. Makes me feel like i live there
Thats because you only been to a few tourist trap places you should have gone to East Harlem where most of those disgusting housing projects are and tell me if they look very clean to you.
@ by is cleaned up now harlem had rows burned out abandoned buildings for like 30 years. Most of these building u see here except the projects were all burned out for years.
Byron Benguche' smart lady @owning brownstone property...alotta others slept when the city was selling em for dirt cheap early 90s...opportunities missed now other races came in & brought em
thatGuyQuincy Yes she is and believe me she has had real estate developers and real estate companies offer her 7 figure deals to buy her brownstone but she said nope she'll never sell it my auntie is 85 years old still active in her community a vegetarian takes good care of herself she's my role model
That's good to hear! It's so disappointing when I hear stories of elderly widows here in Brooklyn who weren't up to date on market value and ended up selling their property for pennies.

I am a white guy of European descent who worked in housing projects for a long time. And for 13 of those years, I worked in Harlem and never had any issues. Got along with 99.99% of my tenants and dealt with their everyday issues as if they were my family.
Wow ur so cool,its not like most of harlem doesnt do that.Thats how i know ur not from Harlem,the media brainwashed u to think Harlem is some dangerous ghetto even though its crime rate has dropped alot.
The Westside of Harlem is a country club! Colombia University own most of the real estate over there. Harlem is one the the coolest hood in NYC. Love That Place!
It used to look much worse. Its actually pretty clean now. my family took the train from upstate to NYC in the early-90s, and the section through Harlem was one of the worst ghettos I had seen outside of Detroit. Trash, graffiti, boarded people, vagrants, stripped cars along the street. Its becoming gentrified. I checked the area along the tracks on google street view and, coupled with this video, I can say that its 80 times nicer than it was almost 30 years ago. Now, it actually almost looks safe.
When you passed by St. Nick and the Lionel Hampton at the corner... I nearly lost it!! 250 W. 131 Street...Wow!!! Such memories!!!! Damn I miss Harlem when I watch this!
Thanc to post this great vid from Harlem, we went there one month ago for 10 magic days in 136th ( our first time in nyc) i fall in.love with Harlem for many reason cultural , peoples... i grew up in the paris suburb with soul jazz funk historic 70s graffiti the best period for me..( i was a little writer and for me harlem mind me beautiful things.. culture zulu nation....and at 48 years old dreams come true i was so happy magic place lovely peoples fantastic atmosphère , Harlem , bronx in my heart , we will be there next year !

7:56 The blue and grey building right there is Harlem Hospital where I was born, 135th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard(6th Av). Haven't been in New York for 7 years now.
erin star Queens has THE largest project yes; Queensbridge. But Spanish Harlem has the largest CONCENTRATION of housing projects. Meaning there are more individual
Look at Harlem! Boy oh boy. Then look at Detroit. What a comparison. CharlieBo313, I've just discovered and been enjoying your videos for a couple of days now. Good work. I'm 65 and I grew up in a suburb of Detroit and I know Detroit has been going downhill for decades now. It started after the end of WW2 and when the riots happened in the 60's, it broke the city's back. Its really very sad. But keep up the good work! Really enjoy your stuff!
You missed one important thing. The shuttering of auto manufacturing facilities, one after the other, which is the real cause of Detroit's blight. The aftermath of the savage repression of Black revolts in 1967, could have been turned around, but NOT the moving of auto factories.
3:53 this is my childhood I spent many summers growing up and it always been me and my fathers hangout right there on st Nicholas park looking directly at those apartment buildings, Harlem is deeply historic within nyc and within Harlem of its own, i plan on moving right there too, wow this hit close, good job Charlie very appreciated
I really like watching these, I come from England so I find big city's like NY interesting to see and the city's history the good and the bad. Obviously it's not like it used too be, the documentorys from the 70's and 80's are fascinating too me.
Wowwww 😊 haven't been in Harlem in years, my Aunt used to live on 127th street and we used to walk over to the Apollo and just hang around. Those were the good ole days ❤❤
I had two Aunts that use to use in the building right next door to the YMCA. They lived there from the 1950s until 1980s when they passed away. Those were the good years!!

First of all thanks for a video i've been waiting for a long time, but why all this hate towards NYC? Im not even american so you all know something more than me but i like New York visually as much as the rest of the U.S. because its special in its own way. I'd like to live there for some time.
Busy Bread im from europe i would live there no problem. i got family in the bronx and thats not too bad either, theres some pretty safe parts in the bronx, nowadays even the ghetto parts of nyc are livable. theres so much to do in nyc, theres absolutely no need to commit crimes
Brother Biz There are some ghettos and neighborhoods in NY (and many other big US cities) that you simply cannot casually stroll through unless you know someone or have business there. The cost of living is sky high in NY as well. You cant get by working a minimum wage job so people find other ways to supplement their income
FREEDOMIST617 well i can rap its easy to connect with hip hop artists in nyc, if rap dont work i would start producin beats, if that dont work ill start sellin music vinyls and cds nyc has enough of it where i can find rare stuff to sell. if sellin music dont work i might start sellin drugs, easy to find such connections in nyc. i might do porn, become a gogo dancer for women. take a step into the film industry, anything to get a buck LOL seriously though like Ill Bill raped only idiots is broke in new york. usa/nyc = easy land
So I design a city map for a video game and I want to make it well detailed, realistic. I also watch for the buildings to learn, how do they look like. Harlem looks like a pretty nice place with all those aparment building, similar to some european cities, that's why this video helped me a lot 'cause I can't visit it personally.
Shit ain't all that up here it's good to have some fun..shop good deals and get the fuck out..everything too expensive to live here and everybody moving down to Orlando and doing g greaattt
I live uptown in Wash Heights. Its definitely not what it used to be. They really cleaned house. Its the safest big city in the country. Cameras everywhere. Shotspotters. Shit happens but its light nowadays compare to before. We still got the honeys tho. Dear Lord :)
