Please don't watch this and think this fool knows anything about Johnson City. This place is gorgeous especially in the fall. Everyone is kind. No we don't have beaches but we have great food and awesome entertainment. You don't need an 8 million dollar home...plus who wants to worry about Tornadoes or Hurricanes all the time..yeah I'm talking about you Alabama.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you are wrong. Some people actually like to move out of the areas they live in because they see a lot wrong with them. Your review on Johnson City, TN is so far off base that I picked up on how you were trying to dis the place within the first minute and a half. And I don't live in Tennessee, but I did at one time live in Johnson City. I don't like the city life and that is why I moved to the country in Kentucky. But Johnson City is nowhere near as bad as you make it seem in this dreadful video.
They are both clueless. I grew up in Bristol and in 2000, worked for Siemens in Johnson City. We lived off Knob Creek in a wonderful area of Johnson City. Johnson City is a great place.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS no, but it is your fault for portraying it as one of the worst cities in America. Thankfully most people see that this is just your opinion in this video and not the actual truth of what the city really is.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Could it be because you choose to go to the worst parts of nearly every city you go to? Then you insult the locals when they dare to defend their towns. I think they know better than you what their towns are like. Have some respect.
This dude is ignorant! "In this region of the country hygiene is really low". You just stereotyped a whole region based on a hotel. There are nasty people hotels everywhere you go. No wonder you don't get views 😂
I'm not one to comment on much but I saw this on my front page of youtube. A couple things, one you started with the tree streets. Which is where I live no they are not the prettiest but this is technically a college town (East Tennessee State University and Milligan University about 30 minutes away). It seems like a ghost town because not many people work in the downtown area, you didn't even actually get into the city which is only a 5 minute drive. Johnson City is in the top 10 most populated cities in the state. If this happens to be a troll, then good job you got me. but if not, you're incredibly misjudging the city by only going a 3 mile radius. Happy Holidays though! Plus where you saw all the graffiti, the city is supposed be fixing most of it up in the next few years, which is why there was a lot of construction in the area you drove around.
Very distasteful video! If you focus on negative then ALL you will find is negative. This area is beautiful unlike your soul. It was really despicable that you were LOOKING for misery. If that is what you are looking for, just take a look in a mirror and you will find it. Don't bring this mentality to a community this wholesome.
I love the Tri cities area! Everytime I go it brings back so many good memories of my childhood when I visited my grandma who lived there in the 70's and 80's. My other relatives still live just outside of Johnson City and in Bluff City. These places will always have a special place in my heart even 50 years since I first visited as a small child.
I live in JC, and this is very negative about my home town. Do NOT like this guy's "take" on my area. He's coming north on 26 from Ashville to JC. Ole Guacamoles is one of the best restaurants in town! Great mexican food. The section they are driving is "tree streets" and that is older large homes made over into multiple units for college students and some older stately homes. One of the streets they are driving down holds our homeless shelters. We don't have any really bad areas. That's why I'm still here after 18 years. I've chosen this area 4 times over moving someplace else in the years I've been here. Nothing happens around here. Great for raising a family, stable homelife, and reasonable prices. This guy is obviously looking for a bad area to drive thru. He couldn't find one, so that should tell you.
I guess its easier to find warts in a place that you don't have any emotional ties to rather that be by family and or personal experience. I never lived in Johnson City or the Tri cities area, but because of personally going there for decades and having family that had lived there and still does for a century or more. We cant possibly expect an outsider to look at it the same way as those of us who have either lived here or visited here for decades.
Yeah that's very true Paul Simmons you're right. It hit Accord because it was my hometown. And unfortunately for him he only went through one little small section of the city that no one goes to. I just hate that it didn't get represented fairly because there's so many people moving to Tennessee right now! It is booming like crazy! Unfortunately the secret's out about how pretty Tennessee is and how great the weather is all the time and all that
-it is pleasant.. it really is... I lived there 12 years, in the 90's/early 00's, and really enjoyed the town itself, but I'm not gonna lie... the town has an alcohol/drugs problem - it can get bad at night 🌃
I know you said in the beginning that there are nicer parts of Johnson City, but in all fairness, you started your tour in the poorest part of town. For barbeque in JC, you should have gone to Firehouse BBQ, you were so close to it and went to Southern Craft instead. Also, Wilson Ave is known for drug deals you should avoid that area, especially after dark.
You know Darius Rucker didn’t write Wagon Wheel, right? He just covered it. It was co-written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show and then made popular by Old Crow Medicine Show. If you’re looking for a ghetto neighborhood, try Wilson Ave. I have the feeling you’d fit right it.
I love that part of the country,the tri city area of Kingsport,Bristol Va and Tennessee where the Border is in the middle of downtown along with Johnson City,the people are friendly with a reasonably low cost of living especially compared to Asheville.
It's a truly beautiful place! The only problem is people are starting to find out. People are flocking to the Tri-City area like crazy right now! Real estate people love it. And I mean I guess it's good I just hope it don't get too big. I mean it could get a little bigger and still keep its hometown field but I just don't want it to get too big and lose that
It's big enough to have all the industry and all that kind of stuff in the Tri-Cities but yet it's small enough to wear each section has its own little hometown feel to it
It sounds more like the videographer is more about putting down "this part of the country" than concentrating on the more beautiful aspects of the country. Sounds like this CZcamsr has a beef with the south. This is by far and honest review of this part of the country and of Johnson City, TN.
A hotel thats only 6 months old and has bed bug and is dirty, I think not, and it's typical for this part of the country, not likely, pretty sure they deliberately started off in the old town just to make is sound worse than it really is!
@@jamielancaster01 have a nice evening sir. See more of our videos. Today we were recording in palm beach county florida. They have roads, beaches, and tourism.

One of life's tragic details is how easy it is to miss the wisdom of the lesson because you're judging the lesson without the wisdom imparted by the lesson making it impossible to understand the value of the lesson and unlikely to attain the wisdom.
Some people, Are asking these two, Why, Are they asking where the "hoods" are located, Well listen to him going on & on about Bed Bugs. No hotels, Motels, Inns...etc. There has not been a bug infestation' since a few years ago..The infestation was located in some Apts,(It was ON the NEWS) Don't know which ones...(he states it had been a few years ago that he had been in the area) They're driving around in a not so nice car, state to state, Not to mention their not so sense of style & comfort, They're Obviously Unemployed,They're just looking for a free ride! Bless their little hearts.
Lol this dude mentions "bedbugs" like three times in the first 5min of the vid, and they are in their car. WTF does bedbugs have to do with anything? Dude is literally driving in his car saying the houses have bedbugs in them. He sounds elitist but with a 10th grade education.
We are thinking about moving to Johnson City any suggestion we have 3 children and we are both school bus drivers so need angood priced home thank you so much
It's a beautiful affordable area. This video is so pathetic it shouldn't even be considered relevant. I moved here from Seattle to get away from the liberal scum who destroyed that City. Johnson City is a great place. Like most places in Tennessee home prices are rising, but still good deals are around..tons of jobs..
You don't know what you're talking about. I moved here from Safety Harbor, FL and this place is beautiful. The people are very nice and Johnson City is a well kept town. Every city in the country has a bad area of town. You shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about. Please anyone listening to the video please ignore it and come see for yourself! The Tri Cities is a great area and the people here are not dirty and lazy.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS i am from Florida. Wesley Chapel in Paso County has the highest medium household income (wealthiest area) in the Tampa Bay area. FL is not great, way to hot and humid the majority of year, no sense of community, very expensive, overcrowded and to many transplants. These are reasons I am looking to move.
JC hasn't changed too much from when I visited family in the 90s-00s. I remember when downtown was a boarded up ghost town. Nice to see it hasn't gotten out of hand yet...
No disrespect but you always have something negative to say about poor neighborhoods and focus on them. Being poor doesnt make you have bed bugs or dirty. Many of them are good people and are clean with pride. Violent crimes can happen anywhere, and white collar works have criminals too and bed bugs. Money doesnt make you, but its who you are, your values, and how you treat people that makes you
In cuba we had a dirt floor but we swept it daily. Being poor doesn’t make you dirty.. but being dirty doesn’t make you rich or poor. You have by far missed the point
But how do you know they was dirty when all we seen was outside houses . Am not excusing being dirty, there is no excuse to be. My point was we all shouldnt be quick to judge everyone based on where they live
18:24 it might be a conscious decision to try and preserve the older asthetic. It looks like they have parking away from the down town area to let you walk around there.
This looks like any town USA. I looked up this city because I just read an article about a woman from this town who was sentenced to two years in prison for passing drugs to an inmate through an open mouth kiss. The article mentioned where she came from. I just had to look it up. Thanks for the tour. 😂
If you love your town, get some civil engineers together and resolve the complicated road layout so that businesses can thrive and traffic flow in a reasonable fashion. It would do great benefit to the economy and livability for this town to have engineers study and correct this matter. Wish you the best.
This Guy goes into city thats 90% + Caucasian and ask "where is the hood at" ROFL. Dude just wtf!! Thats like driving out to Montana or Wyoming and ask "where is the hood". People will look at you like you told them you are from another planet lol. Just stupid
Bro i live here in the Tri cities area and i can't imagine anything greater, for a not minurature state but small state both Jonesboro and Jonson City are Great!
Nothing about nuclear fuels that I saw you pass in the very beginning? All the nuclear engineers that live in Johnson city? The Manhattan project? Nothing? Brush up on History bro and give our town a fair shake that was a horrible tour specifically orchestrated obviously
These Two JUST FLAT OUT VIAL & DISGUSTING! I'm just glad I didn't run into these two rude, & sweaty people! Here's OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! Get A Job!! Probably one of the sign fakers! (That takes from others who truly NEED the help!)
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Just as I thought, You're obviously Looking for someone to Work & PAY THEIR TAXES, SO YOU can keep your foodstamps & the welfare you receive! You better watch making threats, I'LL CALL OUT SICK TOMORROW FROM MY JOBS! & You may get a Decrease on that welfare check, You Receive!
This area is not very diverse, same thing in my home state of West Virginia.If you want to see real Appalachian poverty,go to the southern part of West Virginia especially Welch,Gary in McDowell County or Matewan near I77,some of the worse rural poverty in the country.Bluefield WV has the best classic highrise architecture for the a city of 10,000,this once booming coal mining city was nicknamed "Lttle Manhattan".
Also born and raised in southern wv, father and grandfather were coal miners. Moved to East TN so daughter could attend ETSU, hubby and I fell in love with Jonesborough through our many travels through the area early on in our marriage. Still love the mountains here, better views on this side and going towards the Smokies.
Indeed, also those poor bastards in Kentucky that are always maiming each other. WVA is like some straight up District 13 shit from the Hunter Games though.
Nothing but crime and drugs, here in Johnson City, lived here all my life, never seen it this bad. All these people moving in has drove everything up, housing is outrageous, hardly no farm land left. (So Sad).
You all missed the best bbq. Had I asked or fooled you would of been FireHouse BBQ. I really think you wanted to eat bedbugs! The big yellow building is surrounded by 1 of many hoods,, wondering where ya got ur info. The restaurant you did stop at is 2nd surrounding hood! Maybe you should ask hubbies before heading out. The roads you was on are our Tree Streets, not sure if they even qualify for hood! You should scan out because you missed the hood within 2 - 3 miles
Hold a minute, how can you go to a town you know nothing about and trash it, I really liked your videos in the beginning but as time has gone on you have nothing positive to say. First of all you are visiting older cities unlike the area you live in (tract housing), I know Florida pretty well and Florida doesn't have much to offer as architecture goes. No I am not from TN but enjoy the mountains and not the last 14 yrs of consistently visiting the different cities have we encountered bed bugs or filth, you get what you pay for. As far as southern charm goes you won't get it in Florida. I love Florida, have lived in many areas of Florida but the fact is it's a state with no history. Please don't stop trashing peoples hygiene, saying they don't care because i juts keep the rest to myself. So I can't continue to watch your videos as I see many others are sharing the same feelings.
I have no words to share how bad this video was and not watching the whole thing. Johnson City is a beautiful place and you are showing all the worst places
-the guy in this video's strange... it's like he has some kind of vendetta against Tennessee - I can't count how many slanderous comments the guy made !!! what's up with that ?? he actually says, "I can smell the bedbugs."
I’ve never seen someone talk so bad about a city as they drive through less ideal parts, portraying it as a bad place. EVERY city and town has bad spots. Weird how that’s what you drove through first and automatically started with a bad attitude and formed your opinion, not even driving to great parts of the city. Johnson City was voted top place to move to. Your unpopular opinion sounds insane. Also calling it a ghost town? What? 😂 there’s tons of vehicles in every clip of the main city and people walking. Put content out that’s worth peoples time and INFORMATIVE, accurate, content.
voted by who? let me guess, a company hiring there? LOL you would have to be mentally ill to even suggest this towns of that caliber, bless you heart you've never traveled the country like I have to know. just so you have an idea, bottom 10% percentile honey, dont say stuff like that in public
You should rebrand your channel to something like "Real Tennesse Crime Stories". your current channel name suggest the videos are about nail polish. incredible effort into video editting, but not for 300 views in the first day. Forcus more on Volume and Growth and In 2 years you will be making 100K a year. Change Your Profile photo to something related to crime. Consider doing stories like this on TOWNS and stories of people there too. Theres a content gap out there, you could be full time youtubing with your skills but switch up the branding.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS No, says multiple articles about the best places to move to after retirement and to raise families. I have definitely traveled the country. Good try though. Also, tell me why I would rebrand my channel when I enjoy putting out crime content? I’ve seen your views you get…you’re talking to me like you’re a channel that gets crazy views lol. I would rather take time in producing good QUALITY content over quantity like 99% of CZcams channels do. Why should my profile picture be related to crime? It’s ME. I’m the one telling my stories, so my face is what’s going to be on my profile.
Y’all have Johnson city all wrong. Do a little more research. I hope you can come back and really enjoy Johnson city. we don’t need y’all’s negativity.
I'm a neat freak and I've lived in Appalachia for 15+ years. Things are no dirtier or cleaner here than anywhere else. It depends where you go (like anywhere), but coming from NJ I'd say that the north is way more frequently disgusting than Tennessee...
As a Johnson City Resident, I wanna give major props to Southern Life for finding the worst parts of the city, I was surprised at these areas because I hadn't seen areas this bad. The neighborhoods are as such: Intro: Unicoi/Erwin 3:03: South Side 5:12: Tree Streets 19:52: Mountain Home 25:14: Back to South Side lmao It was really funny hearing you guys talk about the city, but I agree with Swittchy that this doesn't represent the city at all. You basically squared out all of the bad areas. The entire North Side (which is most of the city, it is skewed to the North), as well as behind ETSU is really nice. Southeast (Where you are) and dead west are your bad areas.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS clearly u circled a small section. Edit out the pointless parts. Not hard. I see most your vids are very negative. You couldn't have done a worse job. Non stop low educated dribble. Learn about the areas you visit and enlighten the people. Get more bees with honey.
So that's what we do now? Drive through the poorest section of Johnson City, to make a video. There is more shit in Johnson City then just where you drove through. You might say that I'm biased because I live in JC, but I was born and raised in NY, lived in Madrid Spain for a few years.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I've seen them all bro, and Johnson City isn't that bad. The Downtown area is actually pretty live at night. During the day you have a few people here and there hitting a bar, but at night is when it's really live. The neighborhood you drove through is straight trash. I live in North Johnson City and there are beautiful homes, even Mansions and houses on Golf Courses. Next time you decide to come through here let me know.
5:54 that would be a “street” where it’s less for cars and more for people. A “road” is for moving long distances quickly in cars have nice wide lanes and rarely have sidewalks/areas for people. A “stroad” is a abomination of the two that doesn’t do either. The area of that town seems to fit the older design philosophy of cities and towns before WW2. Lots of LA looked like this before the end of WW2, and they destroyed many a black neighborhood to make the sea of concrete that has constant traffic jams.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Coal mining??? There are no coal mines in East Tennessee. That school pumps out Doctors, teachers, nurses, and engineers. No coal mining degrees.
@@jamielancaster01 🤣 hey! Awesome exchange of words! Glad you mentioned kenny chelsney i love his music. We gotta got some rest were on the road recording in Florida and we gotta rest up! Tomorrow we will be recording in palm beach and broward counties. Have a great night! I dont hate your town at all, but they really do need to correct the main roads because competition is strong and cities hire enough people to ensure their roads make sence and all that. Please watch more of our content. I loved the rural areas outside of there, i am just honest about our opinions and sometimes an outside perspective is good.
I am from Johnson City, Tn and Clearwater, Fl. I think your video is horrible. After all, you visited in winter when it is dreary enywhere. You was expecting to find "the Hood". You were in middle to low class neighborhoods. Come on! Johnson City is great! There is people that actually lives in castles in Johnson City. This is not a very good representation of Johnson City. Stay warm and and enjoy the food at one of the great offerings of the city.
Yeah, but its got beaches, sunshine, and $80,000,000 properties .. not old shacks on the side of a hill. And yes i have shown the worst of my town.. still better than the best of yours
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS forgive me for saying this, but your very judgemental. Not a good look if you want followers..I hate to say this you may live near beaches and mansions, but by your car and how you guts dress it doesnt seem you live that lifestyle so maybe coming down a few notches and humbling yourself may do you good. Many decent people live in poor areas, and many crappy people live in big homes...I live in Southwest Florida and we have some crappy neighborhoods too, but also beautiful areas as well...Focus on just showing the area good and bad like Yankees in the South, and not so much on shaming the poor

No hotels, Motels, Inns...etc. There has not been a bug infestation' since a few years ago..The infestation was located in some Apts,(It was ON the NEWS) Don't know which ones...(he states it had been a few years ago that he had been in the area) They're driving around in a not so nice car, state to state, Not to mention their not so sense of style & comfort, They're Obviously Unemployed,They're just looking for a free ride! Bless their little hearts.
Lol this dude mentions "bedbugs" like three times in the first 5min of the vid, and they are in their car. WTF does bedbugs have to do with anything? Dude is literally driving in his car saying the houses have bedbugs in them. He sounds elitist but with a 10th grade education.
Yall got ticks too 🤣
Beautiful Tennessee
We are thinking about moving to Johnson City any suggestion we have 3 children and we are both school bus drivers so need angood priced home thank you so much
It's a beautiful affordable area. This video is so pathetic it shouldn't even be considered relevant. I moved here from Seattle to get away from the liberal scum who destroyed that City. Johnson City is a great place. Like most places in Tennessee home prices are rising, but still good deals are around..tons of jobs..
This place is nothing like Anniston. Whoever this guy is making these comments is ignorant & has no idea what he’s talking about.
Yo
Mama
You are literally driving down alleys. No way this is the way you just came into town. You staged this to make us look bad.
You tell him K! KEEP ON DRIVING, Back to GREEN BEAU, ALABAMA FORREST! 🤣
First time there.. random drive
You don't know what you're talking about. I moved here from Safety Harbor, FL and this place is beautiful. The people are very nice and Johnson City is a well kept town. Every city in the country has a bad area of town. You shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about. Please anyone listening to the video please ignore it and come see for yourself! The Tri Cities is a great area and the people here are not dirty and lazy.
Pasco and pinellas county isnt exactly floridas best
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS i am from Florida. Wesley Chapel in Paso County has the highest medium household income (wealthiest area) in the Tampa Bay area. FL is not great, way to hot and humid the majority of year, no sense of community, very expensive, overcrowded and to many transplants. These are reasons I am looking to move.
JC hasn't changed too much from when I visited family in the 90s-00s. I remember when downtown was a boarded up ghost town. Nice to see it hasn't gotten out of hand yet...
So did you like chattanooga or Johnson city better?
🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
🧡TN while living in this area for 30 + years
No disrespect but you always have something negative to say about poor neighborhoods and focus on them. Being poor doesnt make you have bed bugs or dirty. Many of them are good people and are clean with pride. Violent crimes can happen anywhere, and white collar works have criminals too and bed bugs. Money doesnt make you, but its who you are, your values, and how you treat people that makes you
In cuba we had a dirt floor but we swept it daily. Being poor doesn’t make you dirty.. but being dirty doesn’t make you rich or poor. You have by far missed the point
Being poor doesnt excuse being s pig
But how do you know they was dirty when all we seen was outside houses . Am not excusing being dirty, there is no excuse to be. My point was we all shouldnt be quick to judge everyone based on where they live
Now we are going to Jonesborough??? 😌
18:24 it might be a conscious decision to try and preserve the older asthetic. It looks like they have parking away from the down town area to let you walk around there.
Dude you came to this town with such a bad opinion of how things are. Change your perception of things and just observe
We travel alot, we have a good perspective.
I love here, and ypu drove in the worst parts of the area for 1 lol
😅😅😅😅👌
Amazing architecture.
If by chance you're going to West Virginia,there's a long tunnel between the 2 states(Virginia)on I77.
Yes!!! 🏔🏔🏔🏔
Congratulations, you've visited the best city in America. You failed to appreciate it as one should.
So true! my wife isnt even my cousin
Looks nice
Bro lots of love for my home
Saludos
It sort of reminds me of Martinsville VA, with less hills.
@9:53 building on your right is the hotel that Al Capone stayed at for several summers
Nice!
I ACCIDENTALLY hit the like button. Wagon Wheel -👎 you trashing my town- 👎
This looks like any town USA. I looked up this city because I just read an article about a woman from this town who was sentenced to two years in prison for passing drugs to an inmate through an open mouth kiss. The article mentioned where she came from. I just had to look it up. Thanks for the tour. 😂
visits in winter in the evening and drives around the derelict warehouses 'it's a ghost town' LOL
You called it trashy, amazingly I didn't see any trash.
Lol You obsess about bed bugs about as much as I do! Stay safe out there!
That's cause they have bed bugs. I mean look at em.
Love Johnson City❤️
If you love your town, get some civil engineers together and resolve the complicated road layout so that businesses can thrive and traffic flow in a reasonable fashion. It would do great benefit to the economy and livability for this town to have engineers study and correct this matter. Wish you the best.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Also all of those restaurants that you were passing Kenny Chesney played at most of them for 4 years when he went to ETSU.
@@jamielancaster01 thats a good artist right there. The song where i come from 😊
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Yeah I agree, the roads are confusing as hell.
@@jamielancaster01 you live near ETSU?
This Guy goes into city thats 90% + Caucasian and ask "where is the hood at" ROFL. Dude just wtf!! Thats like driving out to Montana or Wyoming and ask "where is the hood". People will look at you like you told them you are from another planet lol. Just stupid
looks clean to me
That's only about 20 to thirty minutes from my house
The rural parts are amazing

Bro i live here in the Tri cities area and i can't imagine anything greater, for a not minurature state but small state both Jonesboro and Jonson City are Great!
Nothing about nuclear fuels that I saw you pass in the very beginning? All the nuclear engineers that live in Johnson city? The Manhattan project? Nothing? Brush up on History bro and give our town a fair shake that was a horrible tour specifically orchestrated obviously
This isn’t the history channel. We do strange reviews
That's Oak Ridge, not Johnson City.
These Two JUST FLAT OUT VIAL & DISGUSTING! I'm just glad I didn't run into these two rude, & sweaty people! Here's OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! Get A Job!! Probably one of the sign fakers! (That takes from others who truly NEED the help!)
@@ryry55 your threats prove more than well what type of people live in your town
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Just as I thought, You're obviously Looking for someone to Work & PAY THEIR TAXES, SO YOU can keep your foodstamps & the welfare you receive! You better watch making threats, I'LL CALL OUT SICK TOMORROW FROM MY JOBS! & You may get a Decrease on that welfare check, You Receive!
Come to garland texas
You guys are so negative. You see the worst in everything. You guys saw a "depressing" neighborhood, while I saw a peaceful neighborhood.
Maybe where i am from is that much better
the hills have bed bugs & those bed bugs have eyes👁👁!! ....they feed at night
Ha!
im jealous them mountains look sick Florida is getting boring but i love the weather tho
Cold n rainy too often here
No, it's not..you're in JC in the winter.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS JC has better weather than most of the country in the winter.
Thanks!!
I agree Lee Smith! I am from NASHVILLE, TN and we have some ugly parts and beautiful parts. Rich people that could eat your lunch, so to speak.
Watching this again.
This area is not very diverse, same thing in my home state of West Virginia.If you want to see real Appalachian poverty,go to the southern part of West Virginia especially Welch,Gary in McDowell County or Matewan near I77,some of the worse rural poverty in the country.Bluefield WV has the best classic highrise architecture for the a city of 10,000,this once booming coal mining city was nicknamed "Lttle Manhattan".
Also born and raised in southern wv, father and grandfather were coal miners. Moved to East TN so daughter could attend ETSU, hubby and I fell in love with Jonesborough through our many travels through the area early on in our marriage. Still love the mountains here, better views on this side and going towards the Smokies.
Indeed, also those poor bastards in Kentucky that are always maiming each other.
WVA is like some straight up District 13 shit from the Hunter Games though.
Go to Boones Creek to see rich neighborhoods.
damm fuel is 50 cents a gallon lower down there than upstate ny.Jose u scared of bed bugs lmao
Tennessee is the best state in the world
Go vols!
Nothing but crime and drugs, here in Johnson City, lived here all my life, never seen it this bad. All these people moving in has drove everything up, housing is outrageous, hardly no farm land left. (So Sad).
Terrible review of a great city. However learned from the comments by locals so not a complete waste of time.
@27:30 That parking lot is always crowded
food was great
You all missed the best bbq. Had I asked or fooled you would of been FireHouse BBQ. I really think you wanted to eat bedbugs!
The big yellow building is surrounded by 1 of many hoods,, wondering where ya got ur info. The restaurant you did stop at is 2nd surrounding hood!
Maybe you should ask hubbies before heading out.
The roads you was on are our Tree Streets, not sure if they even qualify for hood! You should scan out because you missed the hood within 2 - 3 miles
Dude you need to NEVER come back!
Not like anyone else has made a better video about this town
Hold a minute, how can you go to a town you know nothing about and trash it, I really liked your videos in the beginning but as time has gone on you have nothing positive to say. First of all you are visiting older cities unlike the area you live in (tract housing), I know Florida pretty well and Florida doesn't have much to offer as architecture goes. No I am not from TN but enjoy the mountains and not the last 14 yrs of consistently visiting the different cities have we encountered bed bugs or filth, you get what you pay for. As far as southern charm goes you won't get it in Florida. I love Florida, have lived in many areas of Florida but the fact is it's a state with no history. Please don't stop trashing peoples hygiene, saying they don't care because i juts keep the rest to myself. So I can't continue to watch your videos as I see many others are sharing the same feelings.
I have no words to share how bad this video was and not watching the whole thing. Johnson City is a beautiful place and you are showing all the worst places
What’s your obsession with big bugs?
Yo mama gave me some
-the guy in this video's strange... it's like he has some kind of vendetta against Tennessee - I can't count how many slanderous comments the guy made !!! what's up with that ?? he actually says, "I can smell the bedbugs."
Also it does have a ridiculously high crime rate lol
@5:50 Those are students from East Tennessee State University.
Go blue
I’ve never seen someone talk so bad about a city as they drive through less ideal parts, portraying it as a bad place. EVERY city and town has bad spots. Weird how that’s what you drove through first and automatically started with a bad attitude and formed your opinion, not even driving to great parts of the city. Johnson City was voted top place to move to. Your unpopular opinion sounds insane. Also calling it a ghost town? What? 😂 there’s tons of vehicles in every clip of the main city and people walking. Put content out that’s worth peoples time and INFORMATIVE, accurate, content.
voted by who? let me guess, a company hiring there? LOL you would have to be mentally ill to even suggest this towns of that caliber, bless you heart you've never traveled the country like I have to know. just so you have an idea, bottom 10% percentile honey, dont say stuff like that in public
You should rebrand your channel to something like "Real Tennesse Crime Stories". your current channel name suggest the videos are about nail polish. incredible effort into video editting, but not for 300 views in the first day. Forcus more on Volume and Growth and In 2 years you will be making 100K a year. Change Your Profile photo to something related to crime. Consider doing stories like this on TOWNS and stories of people there too. Theres a content gap out there, you could be full time youtubing with your skills but switch up the branding.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS No, says multiple articles about the best places to move to after retirement and to raise families. I have definitely traveled the country. Good try though. Also, tell me why I would rebrand my channel when I enjoy putting out crime content? I’ve seen your views you get…you’re talking to me like you’re a channel that gets crazy views lol. I would rather take time in producing good QUALITY content over quantity like 99% of CZcams channels do. Why should my profile picture be related to crime? It’s ME. I’m the one telling my stories, so my face is what’s going to be on my profile.
Love it thanks so much guys..be safe
okay i found the video
Tennessee is the greatest state in the world
I wouldn't go that far LOL
Y’all have Johnson city all wrong. Do a little more research. I hope you can come back and really enjoy Johnson city. we don’t need y’all’s negativity.
I'm a neat freak and I've lived in Appalachia for 15+ years. Things are no dirtier or cleaner here than anywhere else. It depends where you go (like anywhere), but coming from NJ I'd say that the north is way more frequently disgusting than Tennessee...
Depends on the area
Are you kidding? I live there.
As a Johnson City Resident, I wanna give major props to Southern Life for finding the worst parts of the city, I was surprised at these areas because I hadn't seen areas this bad. The neighborhoods are as such:
Intro: Unicoi/Erwin
3:03: South Side
5:12: Tree Streets
19:52: Mountain Home
25:14: Back to South Side lmao
It was really funny hearing you guys talk about the city, but I agree with Swittchy that this doesn't represent the city at all. You basically squared out all of the bad areas. The entire North Side (which is most of the city, it is skewed to the North), as well as behind ETSU is really nice. Southeast (Where you are) and dead west are your bad areas.
It's not the worst part... you are too privileged and entitled
When in the hell did the tree streets become a bad area???
@@imnotimpressed420 Then which part is worse? Keystone?
at least drive around more than a quarter of that city
Long video as is the crap you want a 5 hour video?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS clearly u circled a small section. Edit out the pointless parts. Not hard. I see most your vids are very negative. You couldn't have done a worse job. Non stop low educated dribble. Learn about the areas you visit and enlighten the people. Get more bees with honey.
Johnson City does have a lot of bad areas
So that's what we do now? Drive through the poorest section of Johnson City, to make a video. There is more shit in Johnson City then just where you drove through. You might say that I'm biased because I live in JC, but I was born and raised in NY, lived in Madrid Spain for a few years.
So you have seen better places..
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I've seen them all bro, and Johnson City isn't that bad. The Downtown area is actually pretty live at night. During the day you have a few people here and there hitting a bar, but at night is when it's really live. The neighborhood you drove through is straight trash. I live in North Johnson City and there are beautiful homes, even Mansions and houses on Golf Courses. Next time you decide to come through here let me know.
👍🏻
What dumpster 🔥 video you made
I agree this town is in bad shape
5:54 that would be a “street” where it’s less for cars and more for people.
A “road” is for moving long distances quickly in cars have nice wide lanes and rarely have sidewalks/areas for people.
A “stroad” is a abomination of the two that doesn’t do either.
The area of that town seems to fit the older design philosophy of cities and towns before WW2. Lots of LA looked like this before the end of WW2, and they destroyed many a black neighborhood to make the sea of concrete that has constant traffic jams.
Your driving around the outer edge of the University.
You dont need a university education for coal mining jobs
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Coal mining??? There are no coal mines in East Tennessee. That school pumps out Doctors, teachers, nurses, and engineers. No coal mining degrees.
@@jamielancaster01 🤣 hey! Awesome exchange of words! Glad you mentioned kenny chelsney i love his music. We gotta got some rest were on the road recording in Florida and we gotta rest up! Tomorrow we will be recording in palm beach and broward counties. Have a great night! I dont hate your town at all, but they really do need to correct the main roads because competition is strong and cities hire enough people to ensure their roads make sence and all that. Please watch more of our content. I loved the rural areas outside of there, i am just honest about our opinions and sometimes an outside perspective is good.
@@jamielancaster01 listen to “where i am from” kenny chelsney most amazing country song ever

You deleted my comment. I will always love my Tennessee king and you can't stop me.
I have not deleted anything 🤔🤔🤔 just now got here
I am from Johnson City, Tn and Clearwater, Fl. I think your video is horrible. After all, you visited in winter when it is dreary enywhere. You was expecting to find "the Hood". You were in middle to low class neighborhoods. Come on! Johnson City is great! There is people that actually lives in castles in Johnson City. This is not a very good representation of Johnson City. Stay warm and and enjoy the food at one of the great offerings of the city.
You need to stop putting the town down go put your own town down. I'm sure your town has some very bad parts also
Yeah, but its got beaches, sunshine, and $80,000,000 properties .. not old shacks on the side of a hill. And yes i have shown the worst of my town.. still better than the best of yours
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS that's your take I sit on mine. Besides I don't live in Johnson City.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS $80,000,000 properties.?? . Your daughter's mom is your sister
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS new and fancy ain't all that it's cracked up to be. I spent most of my life in south Florida. I like Johnson City more
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS forgive me for saying this, but your very judgemental. Not a good look if you want followers..I hate to say this you may live near beaches and mansions, but by your car and how you guts dress it doesnt seem you live that lifestyle so maybe coming down a few notches and humbling yourself may do you good. Many decent people live in poor areas, and many crappy people live in big homes...I live in Southwest Florida and we have some crappy neighborhoods too, but also beautiful areas as well...Focus on just showing the area good and bad like Yankees in the South, and not so much on shaming the poor
