Called the police the first time someone was killed on her front lawn they told her to stay inside cause ain’t NOBODY coming out there at night. And if it was really that bad to WALK closer in the direction of the police station and they’d meet her at a safe enough distance.
Yo charlie since you been in pretty much every hood in america which hood besides your city that kind of made you nervous or a little alert? We all gotta know.
Yeah, they trim it to keep branches from touching the power lines, and it ends up looking like an ugly, exotic tree. They do that around us, too, though most aren't as bad that one.
Sadly the poverty and crime are compliments of the local, state and federal politicians. So sad to see people struggling while we are sending billions of dollars to foreign countries.
They're struggling because they want to there are Help Wanted signs at every business some businesses are closing and surrounding counties are having the same issue people don't want to work they are waiting on the 1st and 15th let's be honest it's a generational thing here.

Honestly the east side is the safer side these days. Never really hear much going on over there. Now the south side seems to be where the killers and bangers stay. The west and north sides are getting bad too!
Why would someone want to develop in an area where they know it’ll go to shit. The way you asked the question tells me that you blame the city, State Government for people living shitty lives.

If by peaceful you mean empty - then yeah, peaceful. The reason would be it is too dangerous to go out and people prefer to stay indoors. Check out the crime stats to see how peaceful it is.
I grew up poor there west/central on Whitney ave in the 70s walked to school magnolia elementary. Don't remember any crime. Zillow says that house was built in the 1940s and worth $30k now. Still remember when Albany Mall opened in 76 with that jingle on tv "76 great stores in the Albany Mall" and me and my sisters and friends walked to it. Neat to see charlie finally driving thru one of my towns.

One thing I know in two things for show Albany we can beat up each other all day long but when another city come starts sometimes we going to stick together 💙
Albany and Columbus are considered rural cities in Georgia not “country” rural but rural as in desolate because they are so far from other cities and no major highways run through them and nobody in Georgia talks about them that much ….
Albany, sure. Not Columbus though. It's the third largest city in GA after ATL and Augusta. Almost 200,000 people live in Columbus, and it's connected to an Interstate (I-185) Fort Benning is one of the larger Military bases in the country too. Columbus isn't rural. I will say even though Columbus is 3rd largest and Macon and Savannah are 4th and 5th, they feel more "urban"
There was a interviewer that wld interview Chicago gangs and he was cool with them and no one harmed him I remember he got killed because he was working on a case and found out something he wasnt suppose to I can't remember his name I thought you were him but you seem very much live 😂
PLEASE try to get some of these people to let you film in their house. I can't help but wonder what the inside of some of these places look like. Like that little blue house near the railroad tracks. WTF does the living conditions inside look like? I want to see into the hoods real life. Not just the outside and ppl standing on the street

Wow this city has went down. It looks the same or worse as it did over forty years ago when I left. Same houses, roads and infrastructure not up to par. The last time I was in Albany I rode down Roosevelt near the old Coke building and my former employer North American/Security Moving Company and tore up the front end of my car because of those deep ass pot holes in the road. I do miss the city, we had so much fun in Albany back in the seventies and early eighties. What happened?
There were places in Albany that if you lived there you were banned from donating blood because of the rate of hepatitis and AIDS was so high. I lived there in mid 2000s and everything east of slappy blvd ran on food stamps and crack. Everyone ate at various churches and the Mission and homeless shelters and Salvation Army and sold thier SSI Check and food stamps for crack. I heard from a female prostitute who was my neighbor that now it's also methamphetamine and all the males are gay now. ALL the males I knew then at least-- and a lot of people I knew were murdered. Wonderful place.
As someone who was born and raised here. I’m honestly shocked to see so many people defending Albany and trying to say it’s not as bad as this video makes it out to be. Excuse me? This is 80% of Albany. Trying to use Double Gate or any gated community as a reason Albany isn’t all bad is ridiculous. Sure, there are some amazing houses. Being owned solely by the rich. Or rented out at $2,500 a month. This is the reality of Albany for the common person. Even public places like Turtle Park are being invaded by aggressive homeless people. Taking up all seating areas. I had one curse me out the other day and tell me to “Get the f*ck back to white town.” That literally is not a dramatization. As someone born and raised here, if you are from Albany and trying to say this isn’t accurate. Be real with yourself, or maybe drive around a little bit more.
