CharlieBo313 i know you didn’t come to the south and not visit the Mobile/ Prichard area ! 😡I didn’t know you were coming down this way !!! Mardi Gras time, too. Everyone was out. Love the 334 as well. Graduated from Alabama State. I see you in the Northside!!!
CharlieBo313 having lived in Montgomery AL from 1995-2012, some of these neighborhoods I recognized especially that last one at the Z-Mart, that was about 3 blocks from where I was living when I lived in Montgomery Though, I'm surprised that you didn't go through Chisholm or Smiley Court or even Gibb's Village, areas that I wouldn't go through during the daytime,let alone at night
I know a lot of people make racially insensitive comments on this site about what they think about the people who live in places like this but I've met some of the nicest, kind-hearted people who came from the most poverty stricken, economic deprived communities. Most instances, they just trying to survive and raise their kids the best they know how. Think about it. A middle class kid from an affluent neighborhood in Florida walked into a school and brutally murdered 17 people so don't think only people from the hood do bad things.
I live in what's considered the hood too and it's interesting you rarely hear or people's homes being robbed. The middle-class neighborhoods though.. One of my cousins lived in a middle-class neighborhood in Fort Worth. She was in her home in broad daylight when the neighbor's son broke into her house. She had a gun and military training, but she has a hard time being alone now.
The slow death of once the greatest industrial powerhouse in the world, this is what happens when you don't manufacture your own goods & let other countries pay you peanuts to manufacture for them
whirling dervish yep, watching it happen in PGH for the past 30 yrs, everyone thought tech would save them, instead it put them out of work, unless you work a service job, hospital, or education jobs are tight here. Funny, this was once the "steel city" now there is one plant in the entire metro area & it's not 1/2 of what it was at it's peak
Archie Roku no, this is because america rebuilt it's enemies AFTER ww2, if we would have left them & germany on thier own we wouldn't have companies like alcor mittal, benz, nissan & nippon buying plants from us steel & & building factories here, we won the war, but lost the peace. Btw check it out, all the companies i named have plants in this area, & they pay nothing near what us steel did or the big 3 in detroit
Drugs are bad. Maintenance is hard work. You could blame their living conditions on racism. But, that would also suggest that white people went down there just to litter.
Sorry to reply so late but Montgomery is really divided as to how the different areas look you cross a certain road and it looks like you are in a whole new city.It really just depends.
Sadly, things have gotten worse in Montgomery. People dying almost every day, unnecessary arguments that leads to fights, children raised to be hateful thugs. I truly hope one day things will get better for my city. Regardless of so much negativity this city is giving off from mainly the black community, there are genuinely good hearted still around, as well as some surprisingly beautiful places to visit.

thanks for the upload, Charlie... the first part of the video hit me the hardest, the suburban scene with the near dead shopping centers, empty parking lots.... and the sterile, cookie cutter housing.... the older neighborhood still had some charm and a sense of place.... I knew I was down south somewhere.... this from a Northerner who loves cities and has done some housing rehab. Douglas Kasten hit the nail on the head.... what do people do here for a living? Everything else follows suit. I wish them well this Christmas which is about all I can do....
There are so many buildings that could house the homeless. But cities like New York City spend thousands just for pricy hotel rooms. And a billion a year.
Alabama has a really big number of homeless people. Look living under the bridges and wooded area's around the town's. The organizations that get fed grants and millions of donated fund's do Not go where it's supposed to at all. Pitiful really.

You may live in a "low income" or "middle class" community but a lot can be said about keeping your yard clean, house painted, and car parked in the driveway.
@Authur Outlaw Civil Rights Activists history is a big part of Montgomery's culture. I see tourists of different races that come for that. I've been here 4 years and still haven't been, but I do want to go this year.
Looks complete affluence compared to my trip travelling through Brazil's slums - was shot at two times and attempted kidnap that managed to get away hiding under a car.

Charlie, a different kind of low income neighborhood, a different flavor of poverty here, when compared to that seen in your Detroit clips. There, widespread economic downturn has resulted in large swaths of uninhabitable streets. But here, despite the lack of resources to upgrade and remodel, there seems to be enough revenue for fundamental upkeep, and in the case of the house at 12:10, some pretty creative landscaping. Also, a real estate sign at 13:31 is always a good sign, along with the abundance of fenced properties, if not for security, but perhaps as a psychological delineation in an attempt to control what enters and exits the property. This looks like a low income, but stable, neighborhood.
I live 30 minutes North of Birmingham, and work in Tarrant. It is depressing to see this type of life. Before you start judging, walk a mile in some of these people's shoes. It's hard when everything is closed down, run down, and the leaders don't have the people's best interest at heart. Help those that are in need when you can, shake a strangers hand, tell a stranger good morning, etc. We've got to help each other, it all starts with love.
Chad Hyde Well, help will come to those that want to help themselves. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. As soon as we black people take the time to research the democrats are the ones who have their foot on our necks to keep us down, and vote them out, then the change that we were looking for to come, will come.
I'm from Montgomery Alabama and I remember some of the places that you are driving through used to be well-to-do bringing in lots of business. Also look like you using some old footage because some of these places have been renovated before I moved out of the city. I think part of what you seeing is the lack of interest from the next generation to upkeep what our ancestors laid the foundation for.
This is a product of people in Alabama not coming out to vote in midterm elections. These hoods used to be thriving communities in the 80's to early 90's. I'm from Montgomery, had to leave in 2004, because they couldn't support my Autistic child. Never ever want to come back to live.
Well, thanks for the travelogue, but I could have got the same thing from Google. Some facts, some stats, comments on research of crimes or something that make these bad neighborhoods would decrease the bore quantity. So, boarded up strip malls; don't know of any cities that don't have some. Some random trash on grounds of the projects, but I've seen much worse projects. These looked clean and in good repair. Most of the houses you randomly drove by were older, but with neat yards and seemingly well maintained. Yes, a few had boarded windows, but they didn't appear to be crack houses. Some were unsightly, with peeling paint and so on, but having your house painted is expensive and if the occupants are elderly or disabled doing it themselves is not an option. One great thing about the older neighborhoods is the size of the lots! What nice big yards. Without some facts and documentation I don't see these as necessarily bad areas.
The south side, north side , and west side, all have rough sections in Montgomery. All sides, including the east side also have some very decent neighborhoods as well though. If you’re gonna play some rap in the video showing Montgomery...at least play some local artists. Dezamn!
Born on Maxwell AFB. Lived in Chisholm. Robert E. Lee H.S. Worked for Montgomery Advertiser. Moved to Atlanta in ‘74. Worked for AJC. $105 a week more and the rent was cheaper.
depends where you go. mostly decent. in fact one of the places in this video with the gas station actually isn't *that* bad. I go there sometimes just passing through. the neighborhood around it *can* be bad but it's not a big deal really although I wouldn't wander around at dark.
There is no reason for any able body person to live like this...I just saw my hood on here and I love my hood but I got up off my ass and got up outta there and I ain't been to nobody college... If u don't want better for yourself u should at least want better for your kids u can't blame this one on the white folks of u stuck here that's all on u Gee... Facts
Charlie, you should have seen the Toys R Us in Montgomery... the outside is a time capsule. A few miles south was home to CZcams sensation Sammy Stephens who made Flea Market Montgomery famous!
Damn, I live in Montgomery. Most of this video is around the street from me. I live in a neighborhood that contains different cultures, including white. Just because some of the Gump looks like this doesn't mean all of it does.
I agree, he missed the "Worst" hoods by a long shot. Need to take him down by Trenholm, Westgate, South Rosa Parks, Northgate, Upper Wetumpka, to Eastdale Mall.
Westside representin ...Day Street, Hill street, Western Hills. But yeah, we got some neighborhoods that are still holding strong and we got too many neighborhoods that are just stagnant. But there are some very complex reasons why that is so a in we bare a lot of our own responsibility as to why some of this stuff has happened. Kudos to the people who still living the Gump and who are trying to revitalize the areas for everybody and not just a select few
Nem tudo é glória... Muito bom ver o outro lado dos EUA, o que ratifica que a pobreza é um mal que assola todo o globo, inclusive as superpotências econômicas.
I have been a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels in Montgomery for several years. Almost all of my clients do a good job of keeping their property neat and orderly, even the ones who rent.
This is what happens to cities when they refuse to adapt in the age of Globalization. Montgomery prospered when economic forces were driven by industrialization and demand for regional labor was strong. Now, technological advances (i.e., automation) and international labor surplus are putting strains on cities that continue to use the post-WWII economic model. For instance, after the 2nd WW ended Europe's industrial base was destroyed. The Europeans financed rebuilding their infrastructure on U.S. industry; and this continued from 1950 thru mid to late 80s. Meanwhile, countries like the U.S. moved away from industrialization and became a knowledge-based innovative economy. In other words, the jobs that are in demand now require using one's brain rather than one's hands - professional jobs that require license or certification; jobs that are heavily serviced based in which one uses reason and judgment; and jobs that require planning and implementing processes and procedures. Cities like this have failed their citizens because they did not prepare them for 21-century jobs. And until they do these cities will continue to decay, while waiting for jobs that have long gone and won't come back.
Razor Lite let me reply to you from a different perspective when you debase your manufacturing and send it all to china India and other low wage countries that work for under a $1.00 and bring the goods back here and sell them for the same price as if it was made in the United States you put many many Americans out of work and thus they do not have the money to pay their bill and up keep yet the pair of pants thats made for .75 cent and sells for $60.00 Levi jeans for instance, were are you going to get the money to pay for such item when you do not have a job. Keep American Jobs in America then we could have the money for the up keep of our homes etc, but this globilization bull shit only benefits the rich and the working class just goes to hell. All just one big lie even Trump talks about making America great but get his products manufactured across the ocean in one of them slave labor countries Nike makes a pair of sneakers for under $1.00 in cost bring them back to U.S. and sell for 800.00 a pair for Mike Jordons so who is winning Jordon and Nike.
Razor Lite I am a die maker which at one time was higher paid labor. Dies are now made using computers along with lasers & rule processors. They aren't made by men anymore but machines do a better job & hold accuracy to the 1,000 of an inch & they are faster because they don't take breaks. I'm glad I did it in their heyday but those days are gone now. Never even dreamed they could have machines do it. Die making is now a lost art & never coming back. I was stubborn to the very end & feel sorry for the guys that have 15 or 20 years learning that trade only to become unemployed & to young to retire & to old to retrain. Don't worry about it they are even working on replacing Truck drivers. I'm retired & now 73 years old glad I'm not 45 or 50 I would have to go back to school to learn to program computers using cad cam. Although years ago I did go to school & learned what I had to know but never had to work as a programmer. Still made them by hand until about 2016 when I stopped. Lol. Got out before they told me that I was a dinosaur & wasn't needed or wanted. I enjoyed making cutting dies my whole life
After the commercial, the second video showed a duplex community and at least it was clean, hardly any trash and the grass was cut. It just looked like a less affluent neighborhood, but it wasn't run down.
Im from the gump.i use to stay on happiness in Ridgecrest. My unc use to stay right on S.Court St. The last road you was on. Cool vid. But seem like this a early morning vid. Making the gump look abandoned
Thanks for showing this, my father and his family grew up here, he graduated from Lee High in the 50's.. Last time I was there was in the 90's.. never have seen this area before though... Looks like people take more pride even if they are poor in the fact that the streets aren't full of trash, yards not overgrown..Memphis is much worse!
im from the south and very proud of it i recently started watching your vids amazing how no matter where your travels take you .you never seem to locate the areas where white people live only black these people may work low paying jobs but they make it happen yesyou may see boarded up house but thats tokeep out vandels most of the time those properties are rental units owned by whites who have replaced windows or are renovating
We all struggle at one point in life and it's sad to see towns all across America abandoned or looking like ghost towns. The Good Ole Gump has lots of good folks there of all colors and the history there is LEGENDARY

Start a go fund me page so it will pay for his bills, gas and maintenance on his vehicle and if you live close to any of those cities you can upload a video yourself.
I’m from Montgomery Alabama I live in Atlanta now but to be honest the only side of the city that looks like that are the south and west side minority’s live in those area predominantly black but when you go out north and east it gets better

Charlie, a different kind of low income neighborhood, a different flavor of poverty here, when compared to that seen in your Detroit clips. There, widespread economic downturn has resulted in large swaths of uninhabitable streets. But here, despite the lack of resources to upgrade and remodel, there seems to be enough revenue for fundamental upkeep, and in the case of the house at 12:10, some pretty creative landscaping. Also, a real estate sign at 13:31 is always a good sign, along with the abundance of fenced properties, if not for security, but perhaps as a psychological delineation in an attempt to control what enters and exits the property. This looks like a low income, but stable, neighborhood.
those neighborhoods you drove in look a lot like the ones in my city, which is tally ho or better known as tallahssee, fl!
I live 30 minutes North of Birmingham, and work in Tarrant. It is depressing to see this type of life. Before you start judging, walk a mile in some of these people's shoes. It's hard when everything is closed down, run down, and the leaders don't have the people's best interest at heart. Help those that are in need when you can, shake a strangers hand, tell a stranger good morning, etc. We've got to help each other, it all starts with love.
Chad Hyde well said!!! absolutely right
Chad Hyde Well, help will come to those that want to help themselves. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. As soon as we black people take the time to research the democrats are the ones who have their foot on our necks to keep us down, and vote them out, then the change that we were looking for to come, will come.
The house at 11:24 looks very much out of place.
AbandonedRailroader 😂😂😂😂 u funny af . Them old folks u know they ain't leaving da Hood fa shit
Right was the nicest house i seen on the block
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's because they own most of the houses on that street and rent them out.
That pretty red brick house to the right. LOL!
I'm from Montgomery Alabama and I remember some of the places that you are driving through used to be well-to-do bringing in lots of business. Also look like you using some old footage because some of these places have been renovated before I moved out of the city. I think part of what you seeing is the lack of interest from the next generation to upkeep what our ancestors laid the foundation for.
Why’d the businesses shut down
This is a product of people in Alabama not coming out to vote in midterm elections. These hoods used to be thriving communities in the 80's to early 90's. I'm from Montgomery, had to leave in 2004, because they couldn't support my Autistic child. Never ever want to come back to live.
SEC FAN I left in 1995. That was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I always thought these videos were interesting until you came to my hometown. I don’t like this shit:/ lol
Do you live there or do you own the place.
CharlieBo313 cool your jets. Obviously you didn’t see the humor there.
Fletcher L lmao 😂
Lol
No shit! Looks like my town, too. I've been around a bit and every town looks the same. The rich hoods look the same and the poor hoods look the same.
Not much there... once the young people finished school they left.. not only the blacks... the young white people too...
Margaret Barksdale I left in 1995.
Esse vídeo, ficou excelente!
What’s the property value like out there?
Well, thanks for the travelogue, but I could have got the same thing from Google. Some facts, some stats, comments on research of crimes or something that make these bad neighborhoods would decrease the bore quantity. So, boarded up strip malls; don't know of any cities that don't have some. Some random trash on grounds of the projects, but I've seen much worse projects. These looked clean and in good repair. Most of the houses you randomly drove by were older, but with neat yards and seemingly well maintained. Yes, a few had boarded windows, but they didn't appear to be crack houses. Some were unsightly, with peeling paint and so on, but having your house painted is expensive and if the occupants are elderly or disabled doing it themselves is not an option. One great thing about the older neighborhoods is the size of the lots! What nice big yards. Without some facts and documentation I don't see these as necessarily bad areas.
Do Tuscaloosa next😊
Liked the video wish you had mentioned the areas you were driving through.
I'm from the Gump, and I have people in Ridgecrest. 7 miles away from here, East Montgomery could not be more different.
The south side, north side , and west side, all have rough sections in Montgomery. All sides, including the east side also have some very decent neighborhoods as well though. If you’re gonna play some rap in the video showing Montgomery...at least play some local artists. Dezamn!
Renegade Musik Right!! R.I.P. Doe B

Sounds like you're driving a 'rust bucket' around
Born on Maxwell AFB. Lived in Chisholm. Robert E. Lee H.S. Worked for Montgomery Advertiser. Moved to Atlanta in ‘74. Worked for AJC. $105 a week more and the rent was cheaper.
No Miami video yet?
Damn Charlie I see you made to my city did you pass Asu down the way fam?💪
I probably did, I passed several colleges.
there's ASU, AUM, TSUM, and Huntington. The others are trade schools.
malik ELI hey Malik, I’m a Miami boy so I don’t know Alabama but how bad is it out there?
depends where you go. mostly decent. in fact one of the places in this video with the gas station actually isn't *that* bad. I go there sometimes just passing through. the neighborhood around it *can* be bad but it's not a big deal really although I wouldn't wander around at dark.
Ben Mason I appreciate it Ben! In Miami It’s sort of the same. Just in places like carol city, opa locka, and liberty city at night should be avoided.
There is no reason for any able body person to live like this...I just saw my hood on here and I love my hood but I got up off my ass and got up outta there and I ain't been to nobody college... If u don't want better for yourself u should at least want better for your kids u can't blame this one on the white folks of u stuck here that's all on u Gee... Facts
Damn, you caught me at the end on a very rare occasion on me picking up my daughter from that side of town. Lol
Lol..really? You live in the Gump? 💯
BABYYY LEMME TAKE U OUT ONA LUNCH N DINNER DATE WIT ME PRETTY PLEASE MY GODDESS IM FRM BOSTON❤❤❤❤❤😘
How is it there?? I might visit next time I travel to US.
Charlie, you should have seen the Toys R Us in Montgomery... the outside is a time capsule. A few miles south was home to CZcams sensation Sammy Stephens who made Flea Market Montgomery famous!
He not in that part of Montgomery it looks like I’m on north side or south west side bad houses look good tho but
“It’s just like a mini mall”
You left Chisholm,highland gardens,capital heights and the rest of the nawf side out.
How come you guys gasoline is so cheap costing? we way up there round 3.89 an higher a gallon?
When was this made bc I live in Alabama
Damn, I live in Montgomery. Most of this video is around the street from me. I live in a neighborhood that contains different cultures, including white. Just because some of the Gump looks like this doesn't mean all of it does.
Same here I see Gibbs Village and lived at Highland Village
I agree, he missed the "Worst" hoods by a long shot. Need to take him down by Trenholm, Westgate, South Rosa Parks, Northgate, Upper Wetumpka, to Eastdale Mall.
I live off Holt st
@@ki4csq Exactly!!!!
Is Azalea Drive in this video?
Grass already growing. Damn!
yeah it's basically spring here already
Epic Compilations Smh, I'm hearing tree pollen is already bad.
Shellyman Studios
Yes, the pollen is already here 😓 I miss winter already.
Shellyman Studios screaming 🤦🤦🤦
Westside representin ...Day Street, Hill street, Western Hills. But yeah, we got some neighborhoods that are still holding strong and we got too many neighborhoods that are just stagnant. But there are some very complex reasons why that is so a in we bare a lot of our own responsibility as to why some of this stuff has happened. Kudos to the people who still living the Gump and who are trying to revitalize the areas for everybody and not just a select few
❤❤
Nice rims on the Mustang at 3:30 :-)
I’ll bet it was once a beautiful place to live when it was built 50 years ago.
Nem tudo é glória...
Muito bom ver o outro lado dos EUA, o que ratifica que a pobreza é um mal que assola todo o globo, inclusive as superpotências econômicas.
I have been a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels in Montgomery for several years. Almost all of my clients do a good job of keeping their property neat and orderly, even the ones who rent.
Is this where they filmed Doe B - Let Me Find Out ?
This is what happens to cities when they refuse to adapt in the age of Globalization. Montgomery prospered when economic forces were driven by industrialization and demand for regional labor was strong.
Now, technological advances (i.e., automation) and international labor surplus are putting strains on cities that continue to use the post-WWII economic model. For instance, after the 2nd WW ended Europe's industrial base was destroyed. The Europeans financed rebuilding their infrastructure on U.S. industry; and this continued from 1950 thru mid to late 80s.
Meanwhile, countries like the U.S. moved away from industrialization and became a knowledge-based innovative economy. In other words, the jobs that are in demand now require using one's brain rather than one's hands - professional jobs that require license or certification; jobs that are heavily serviced based in which one uses reason and judgment; and jobs that require planning and implementing processes and procedures.
Cities like this have failed their citizens because they did not prepare them for 21-century jobs. And until they do these cities will continue to decay, while waiting for jobs that have long gone and won't come back.
Razor Lite let me reply to you from a different perspective when you debase your manufacturing and send it all to china India and other low wage countries that work for under a $1.00 and bring the goods back here and sell them for the same price as if it was made in the United States you put many many Americans out of work and thus they do not have the money to pay their bill and up keep yet the pair of pants thats made for .75 cent and sells for $60.00 Levi jeans for instance, were are you going to get the money to pay for such item when you do not have a job. Keep American Jobs in America then we could have the money for the up keep of our homes etc, but this globilization bull shit only benefits the rich and the working class just goes to hell. All just one big lie even Trump talks about making America great but get his products manufactured across the ocean in one of them slave labor countries Nike makes a pair of sneakers for under $1.00 in cost bring them back to U.S. and sell for 800.00 a pair for Mike Jordons so who is winning Jordon and Nike.
Razor Lite I am a die maker which at one time was higher paid labor. Dies are now made using computers along with lasers & rule processors. They aren't made by men anymore but machines do a better job & hold accuracy to the 1,000 of an inch & they are faster because they don't take breaks. I'm glad I did it in their heyday but those days are gone now. Never even dreamed they could have machines do it. Die making is now a lost art & never coming back. I was stubborn to the very end & feel sorry for the guys that have 15 or 20 years learning that trade only to become unemployed & to young to retire & to old to retrain. Don't worry about it they are even working on replacing Truck drivers. I'm retired & now 73 years old glad I'm not 45 or 50 I would have to go back to school to learn to program computers using cad cam. Although years ago I did go to school & learned what I had to know but never had to work as a programmer. Still made them by hand until about 2016 when I stopped. Lol. Got out before they told me that I was a dinosaur & wasn't needed or wanted. I enjoyed making cutting dies my whole life
@@jackboyer1280 godspeed mr Jack
@@InAnotherLife90 thank you, wish I remembered what I posted. Lol
Girl I live here it’s not that bad lmao...the video is riding through the hood
Everyone got nice cars.
I stayed not too far from that grocery store half my whole life but now I stay on the other side of that neighborhood
Why did you film so early in tge morning? I live in down town but I know for a fact this was early morning.
This was mid afternoon. I'm not even up early.
It's so dead for a mid afternoon. I'm from SF California
❤❤💗
Should go to Kingston Springs out in Pike Rd
Yes in deed. Or Freeport. Or down in the Bend in Waugh.
Life isnt so bad after watching this....
I’m from Ms and worked in Montgomery for 8 months, Met some good friends up there. New Beginnings Barber Shop is the place to get a crispy Fade at!!!
CharlieBo313 where do you live, if you dont mind me asking ?
welcome to the gump
Depressing 😕
4:58 This neighborhood is really big from what I see ...
2:46 That used to be WSFA Channel 12, but they recently moved into one of the RSA towers downtown.
I see you came to Ridgecrest
S dot Slim Bro was eldorado red running shit down there years ago?
Ri
Ridgecrest all day
And he picked the worse streets to ride down
💝
Just imagine google streetview drivers have to go through all ghetto places like these around USA
This just looks like a bunch of poor people moved into the previous generation's unwanted suburbia
After the commercial, the second video showed a duplex community and at least it was clean, hardly any trash and the grass was cut. It just looked like a less affluent neighborhood, but it wasn't run down.
❤❤❤
Only live about 20 minutes from Montgomery, the western bypass is the worst part of town.
yeah, but there's a few spots more central that are just as bad
Im from the gump.i use to stay on happiness in Ridgecrest. My unc use to stay right on S.Court St. The last road you was on. Cool vid. But seem like this a early morning vid. Making the gump look abandoned
nah our sky stay be like dat in da morning its not even like dat nd i use to live on s.court street too nd my school use to be davis in elementary
Thanks for showing this, my father and his family grew up here, he graduated from Lee High in the 50's.. Last time I was there was in the 90's.. never have seen this area before though... Looks like people take more pride even if they are poor in the fact that the streets aren't full of trash, yards not overgrown..Memphis is much worse!
im from the south and very proud of it i recently started watching your vids amazing how no matter where your travels take you .you never seem to locate the areas where white people live only black these people may work low paying jobs but they make it happen yesyou may see boarded up house but thats tokeep out vandels most of the time those properties are rental units owned by whites who have replaced windows or are renovating
My Grandfather was a Teacher at Lee Highschool. He retired in 87 though. He used to live on Guymar not too far from JD Highschool.
We all struggle at one point in life and it's sad to see towns all across America abandoned or looking like ghost towns. The Good Ole Gump has lots of good folks there of all colors and the history there is LEGENDARY
It's just like
a mini-mall
welcome to Alabama! Montgomery isn't too far from where I live.
I live here
mista playa rell 😂
I used to live in Montgomery, I've since moved back to Prattville, so I don't really miss it
@@karlsmith2570 I grew up in Prattville and Montgomery. I moved to Atlanta when I was 16. My family is still there.
❤❤❤
13:54 the original mr. Wacky wavy arms guy! Those are the worst hoods? Coat of paint will fix that right up.
is this worse then Birmingham? I went there last summer and some of it was nice.
Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the 🚪 door, knock: if any man 👂 hear my voice, and open the door, I will come i to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Amen!!!!!!!
I live in Montgomery
Who cae3
❤❤❤❤😘💗
it’s sad to see my city like that
Better than living in a 10 floor building in Queens NY. If they were maintained it wouldnt be so bad. At least you got grass and room to breath. This is country to me
Alot of cities down south you missed Miami, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Savannah Ga, Tampa, Orlando, Baton Rouge, Nashville...
R. Smith Lol gas ain’t cheap and he workin a job. Give the nigga a break.
R. Smith , yeah, pick any county in Florida...
R. Smith He Already did a video in Nashville but he can do a video in New Orleans Jacksonville and other southern cities
Start a go fund me page so it will pay for his bills, gas and maintenance on his vehicle and if you live close to any of those cities you can upload a video yourself.
I’m from Montgomery Alabama I live in Atlanta now but to be honest the only side of the city that looks like that are the south and west side minority’s live in those area predominantly black but when you go out north and east it gets better
#AlabamaStandUp
why is it a ghost town all those buildings that sitting there rotting away I see the liquor shop in nail shop open shaking my head
❤❤❤
Those projects are the start are GONE TODAY
