This is so sad. I was born here in 1939. I went to school here . Many of these homes were part of a WW2 project as housing for the shipyards and airbase employees. They were sold to private owners in the 1960 and turned into low rent housing. With little upkeep or care this is what you get. Up until I saw this I thought I was homesick. Thanks for the reality check.
i go through there all the time chikisaw is ok but if you dont know to the locals this town is known as "niggerville" to people who live in satsuma and saraland and the crime rate is awful man a few years ago a guy got his head half cut off with a mechette and then burned he was my stapdads friend yeah prichard is not the place you want to go to to relax
I hope you succeed in life with that mentality. If more black who turn even a little bit rich had that responsibility with the people things would start looking better much quicker. I hope to improve the horrible hoods in my city in my country one day too, if I ever succeed in life. Good luck.
Some great football talent has come from that city, the other high school, M.T. Blount, also had talent that went pro like Sherman Williams who played for Dallas.
For those that don’t know, Prichard is a small city that sits directly next to Mobile. You wouldn’t even know it except for the signs, as one block down you’re in Prichard all of a sudden. Along with Bessemer and Selma, it has a reputation of having some of the most extreme gang violence in Alabama, up there with the likes of Gary/East St Louis/etc. in terms of crime.

This may be hard to believe, but this was once a thriving city , however, crooked politicians and bad management coupled with white flight led to the city's downfall. Same as with many other cities that have fallen on hard times like Detroit and Gary Indiana.The city has suffered two Bankruptcies and recently arrested one of its city officials for stealing over a hundred thousand from the city coffers.

It’s actually really nice here in some parts. I live in a regular ol area outside the city limits and I do hear gunshots occasionally. We’ll hear a loud sound and my daughter will ask if those are gunshots
These places are all over America because most people don't want to believe there is a lots of poor folks in a rich country like America some of these places don't have clean water or proper sewerage roads that haven't been touched since the 50th
That's what I was thinking. These houses look centuries old. It looks like a trip in time. I wonder how many people who have completely settled elsewhere during the "great migration" thing could trace their family tree back to places like that. It really is a place of unwritten history for the US.
This really does look like Africa. And it also worse than any city I've ever seen in Sao Paulo state where I live, though a few would get close. I'm sure a few spots in the Northeast of Brazil could match that but it's really lower than South American levels of poverty. Sometimes I wonder if even the richest nation in history has places like that than there's really no way to help the miserable in face of the corrupt governments of the US, Africa, Latin America wherever etc.

Saginaw and flint and yipsi fo sure but Muskegon?! I live in GR but I’m out in Grand Haven/Muskegon a few times a week... maybe I just haven’t ended up in the wrong part but I’ve never seen anything that feels out of place, maybe a little more blue collar but that’s about it... either way gonna do some exploring this weekend there now!
I used to drive semi in the 90's and took walks around Mobile while I was laid over waiting for a reload. It was different then, people kept to themselves but were respectful. They took most responsibility for what went down in their areas and didn't mix much with other's from outlying areas. It was a way to live peacefully. There was something kinda' magical about them. It was better then, you could walk for miles and explore, people were just curious. Friendly. Some would walk with me for an hour or so and tell me stories.
This is everywhere in America. We do volunteer work in poor areas of my rural NC county, I've stopped being shocked by homes that haven't seen repair in years, but have lawns filled with cigarette butts and pepsi cans. One trailer we pass regularly has a huge trump flag flying next to it's front door, but part of the roof has caved in and is covered with a tattered tarp. Sometimes it's about bad choices.
This is not at all Prichard as a whole. Don't just film the worst that you encounter, if you want to show the lows, show the highs also. Be fair about it so you don't paint an unfair picture for others who aren't familiar with the area.
Wat gets me wit so many of theses places is that theirs hardly no street-lights anywhere - In Australia u wouldn't ever see that as theirs always street lights everywhere. 'it's just that it would be bloody pitch dark n not to mention that would make it quite dangerous especially in theses porer hoods 'Ya - The council should be having streetlights everywhere 'thats pore or well to do neighbor hoods eyh. 'Anyway cheers for another great upload buddy. #Peace from Sydney Nsw.
I grew up in the Village back in the 80's. All the streets flooded back then too. We used to swim in them after a hard rain. It wasn't a bad place to live, just a bunch of poor folk trying to survive. Most of us ran together and there wasn't a big divide between races like it is nowadays. There was an equal mixture of black and white people. I miss my childhood.
Are you guys really proud of this? They need to stop acting tough and start cleaning up. Go pick up a hammer and build something. It will make you a real man!
I don't care how poor I was, where I live, or when I lived there, I always took pride in my home, even if the rest of the homes didn't look good mine always did. Do they not have any pride are they that lazy
First thing I want to say is Lord have mercy. What in the hell are the people in gov't doing with the money in these small town? The streets, the roads, the houses.....nobody çares.
Your car driving smooth now,some days it sound like sanford and son truck creeping through the hoods.damn,folks could hear you coming around the corner.
Standing water causes mosquitoes to breed. Plus you don’t know what you’re driving your car over. City desperately need to take care of the infrastructure.
It looks way better than the other neighborhoods he's shown. They deserve to be invested in. The place is clean, the kids seems respectful, the adults still say hello to strangers and looks like they are doing something productive not just standing around.
@@suzy-qwoo6268 That’s southern people in general. Every southern “hood” is basically a regular black neighborhood with a little bit of a rough history but with friendly people, nonetheless. Put some money and better paying jobs into these places and they’ll be in much better shape.
I grew up in Chickasaw AL and prichard was next door at one time it was a decent place back in the day just about everywhere in Mobile has went to shit
It's probably is, or at least right up there with the worst. Serious poverty too. I heard several gunshots being fired and some commotion nearby down one of those back roads, but I couldn't see what was going on. Not exactly a vacation destination lol.
Did you get to visit any at night? I grew up here but live in a different, nicer county now. My parents still live over there. When I joined the army about 8 years ago, they put up a barrier blocking over the bordering city chickasaw due to drugs and crime. My best friend from the army is from Missouri and he said east st louis is just a bigger version of prichard when I took him through. He didn't believe me until we got close to the entrance and then he quickly realized once we got shot at, this place is no joke lol.

In Brazil's violent neighborhoods you don't walk like that. You would quickly be mugged or killed.
Watching from France !
Thank you
Damn that's some back yard dirt road ass living for real. Houses right up on the street. Run down. Damn Klan had a field day with them folks back in the day I bet.
My first thoughts
All I can think about watching his channel is the robbed opportunity and the flower-full language used to describe the destabilizing of all the black communities that started to become anything. Over 400 years and the only thing that’s changed is the colors of chains and the transparency of the strings controlling everyone’s capitalistic gluttony.
@@Natedogg1952 so you're still blaming white people for this town's violence and deterioration? It must be nice to sit around and take no accountability and blame others .
@@Natedogg1952 government is shitty but damn at least try to clean where you live .
Chris s these roads are perfect for drive bys as well . easy pickings
I live in Lexington Alabama and I'm CJ. I grew up in Florence Alabama and I have a lot of black and white friends more black. This really makes me want to go there and help them clean up every street, every field that's overgrown with grass, fix the houses and then fix the roads cause everyone of them deserve better
they dont want better
Sad. Not even a corner store or fast food place nearby
They don't want to get robbed
Watching from Malaysia! Nice neighbourhood!
This is nasty! For some reason, this reminds me more of a few of the sections in Danville, IL and Gary, IN...
Great Prichard Alabama Dirty South hood tour Charlie
Streets there remind me of the rural hoods of Saginaw, Flint, Muskegon, Ypsi-tucky, Adrian, Toledo (5 points) , and some of the U.P. Menominee Rez...
I thought reservation too!
They reminded me of parts of Detroit!
@@edwardmiessner6502 Yes, so many rural overgrown streets in DET
@@geraldn51 I stayed w/ a friend on the rez for a spell. It was some of the roughest you'll find, knuckle to knuckle. Rural hoodz
Saginaw and flint and yipsi fo sure but Muskegon?! I live in GR but I’m out in Grand Haven/Muskegon a few times a week... maybe I just haven’t ended up in the wrong part but I’ve never seen anything that feels out of place, maybe a little more blue collar but that’s about it... either way gonna do some exploring this weekend there now!
The true America..every person running for congress, senate, and house of representatives and president should be required to travel these roads
Gov for my state came to my area when they first elect him....he said he could not believe ppl lived like this.....and we have not seen him since
You should visit Moss Point, MS while you are there.
Nasty way to live. There's no excuse for it. Those kids don't have a chance.
All I have to say is don't run out of gas!!!!!!
This suburb had nearly 50k residents around 1960 and now the population is under 20k, that's sad.
I used to drive semi in the 90's and took walks around Mobile while I was laid over waiting for a reload. It was different then, people kept to themselves but were respectful. They took most responsibility for what went down in their areas and didn't mix much with other's from outlying areas. It was a way to live peacefully. There was something kinda' magical about them. It was better then, you could walk for miles and explore, people were just curious. Friendly. Some would walk with me for an hour or so and tell me stories.
Lol Mobile was Hella violent in the 90s 😂😂
the size of the potholes is crazy
"Come to America, the land of opportunities." This would shock anyone coming from Europe!
I dunno. I took a wrong turn in Paris and it wasnt much different.
This is everywhere in America. We do volunteer work in poor areas of my rural NC county, I've stopped being shocked by homes that haven't seen repair in years, but have lawns filled with cigarette butts and pepsi cans. One trailer we pass regularly has a huge trump flag flying next to it's front door, but part of the roof has caved in and is covered with a tattered tarp. Sometimes it's about bad choices.
It looks humid as hell there
That’s because it is.
miserable is the only way to explain how bad the humidity is
This is not at all Prichard as a whole. Don't just film the worst that you encounter, if you want to show the lows, show the highs also. Be fair about it so you don't paint an unfair picture for others who aren't familiar with the area.
Dude he doing hoods not good parts lol
@@Imjustbored2023 I am not your mother
Thanks for the video's my Brother. You can travel to my home state Mississippi when I can't. Thank you and Jah bless.
It's Strange, the Houses are falling down, but there is always a Half Desent car sitting outside in the Drive,
It's a shame that people still have to live this way in America
Wat gets me wit so many of theses places is that theirs hardly no street-lights anywhere - In Australia u wouldn't ever see that as theirs always street lights everywhere. 'it's just that it would be bloody pitch dark n not to mention that would make it quite dangerous especially in theses porer hoods 'Ya - The council should be having streetlights everywhere 'thats pore or well to do neighbor hoods eyh. 'Anyway cheers for another great upload buddy. #Peace from Sydney Nsw.
These are some of the worst roads i have ever seen.
Yep know all these streets, Alabama Village actually got cleaned up about 15 yrs ago. It looked worse than this.
No it doesn't I'm out there everyday
I grew up in the Village back in the 80's. All the streets flooded back then too. We used to swim in them after a hard rain. It wasn't a bad place to live, just a bunch of poor folk trying to survive. Most of us ran together and there wasn't a big divide between races like it is nowadays. There was an equal mixture of black and white people.
I miss my childhood.
Are you guys really proud of this? They need to stop acting tough and start cleaning up. Go pick up a hammer and build something. It will make you a real man!
As someone from the ham, Prichard looks similar to Bessemer in spots, kinda rural in a way
I don't care how poor I was, where I live, or when I lived there, I always took pride in my home, even if the rest of the homes didn't look good mine always did. Do they not have any pride are they that lazy
Yes they are that lazy
As a Black woman, I totally agree with you. All I see is many lazy, no self respect people! Nasty indeed! Clean your damn yards!
I see serious potential in this town. It’s run down but if the people around there cared enough it could be really nice.
Definitely.
But......they don't
Thankyou Charlie God Bless tô ALL my Brother
Somebody should run for president that is going fix this shit, I already have a slogan: "Make America Great Again"...
😂
I don't even know Charlie but i'd feel so uneasy for him if he drove thru there at night
No offense Prichard :D
Some of this looks like Trinity Gardens too!
This is ghetto as hell. Why won't the governor do a damn thing? This is sickening.
Charliebo call this one the Alabama Dirty South Hood tour 😆
First thing I want to say is Lord have mercy. What in the hell are the people in gov't doing with the money in these small town? The streets, the roads, the houses.....nobody çares.
Your car driving smooth now,some days it sound like sanford and son truck creeping through the hoods.damn,folks could hear you coming around the corner.
Standing water causes mosquitoes to breed. Plus you don’t know what you’re driving your car over. City desperately need to take care of the infrastructure.
Wayyyyyy better than the hoods here in Brazil. Actually kinda nice.
Well when you put it that way..
Wow.
This isn't to different than Harvey IL
Yes Sir From The Dirty had a Ball growing up down south
Believe or not it didn't look that bad back in the mid 90s when i lived down there it looks depressing now.
It looks way better than the other neighborhoods he's shown. They deserve to be invested in. The place is clean, the kids seems respectful, the adults still say hello to strangers and looks like they are doing something productive not just standing around.
@@suzy-qwoo6268 That’s southern people in general. Every southern “hood” is basically a regular black neighborhood with a little bit of a rough history but with friendly people, nonetheless. Put some money and better paying jobs into these places and they’ll be in much better shape.
@@suzy-qwoo6268 prichard is one of the worst small towns in America
@@showmestatefinest5412 as in crime rate? It looks poor but humble.
It looks rough but salvageable. With kids/people walking about like that, it’s not horrible. Still a diamond in the rough.
Wow the vehicles in the yards look better than the houses smh
At least you did show the neighborhood.
I’ve been curious What car you got Charlie Bo?
Biden country.
Prichard got so much corruption, hell they caught alot of city officials stealing money.
Born and raised in mobile Alabama
Not a grocery store or gas station in site. Lifeless area
I grew up in Chickasaw AL and prichard was next door at one time it was a decent place back in the day just about everywhere in Mobile has went to shit
Not all
This place is said to be the most violent in the deep south. What u think about Prichard, Charlie?
It's probably is, or at least right up there with the worst. Serious poverty too. I heard several gunshots being fired and some commotion nearby down one of those back roads, but I couldn't see what was going on. Not exactly a vacation destination lol.
@@CharlieBo313 what seemed more poverty stricken this or the mississippi delta
Did you get to visit any at night? I grew up here but live in a different, nicer county now. My parents still live over there. When I joined the army about 8 years ago, they put up a barrier blocking over the bordering city chickasaw due to drugs and crime. My best friend from the army is from Missouri and he said east st louis is just a bigger version of prichard when I took him through. He didn't believe me until we got close to the entrance and then he quickly realized once we got shot at, this place is no joke lol.
Hard time Mississippi, or Alabama...... Crazy how impoverished some places are in U.S. in 2021....
