My family moved to Brunswick when I was a senior in high school. Did part of my senior year at Glynn Academy. I came from a small town in nowhere Ohio. Was a major change for me. There is so much more to Brunswick and the islands than this video shows. This is just the south side of Brunswick, which is where Glynn academy is. I was surprised you didn't get that on camera.
@@nicolebrown-watkin9656 I moved here 2 years ago and yes just like any other city there is crime. But I have never had an incident since I have been here. You will want to goto the Southside to see the victorian houses. But the north side is where the more shopping places are like target and Walmart and various other stores.
Wrong idiot, they are all over America in every state. Also you do realize the theme of his video is highlighting the worst of each city or town he can find right…
If you drive the interstate only, you see zero difference from New York to Texas on that highway. Everything is the same. Same Macdonalds same service stations etc. Just once, I wish some old-fashioned mom and pops food stand existed along those roads.
You’re in my city!!! Hey!!! Brunswick is a historic city. The south end where you are needs a lot of tlc. People are trying to eat. It’s sad many don’t have the money to fix up their homes. When the elderly pass away, the kids don’t take over the house. They leave them to rot and go back to the government
I’m from Brunswick too, but the family doesn’t take care of the house either they pass it down in run down conditions and expect the children to spend money fixing it and they don’t have it either
You've shown many humble neighborhoods around this country. I wonder if our policy makers and politicians watch your videos. Or if they travel these streets. Good work, Charlie Bo.
You have to wonder who has the better life? People who work hard, strive to have nice things with constant stress over payments and a high end lifestyle. Or is those who don't?
No wonder the population is heavily depressed. No matter what state you go to, all hoods are built on the same template with minor changes. Like its the Sims game.
Coastal Ga city. Has a EPA superfund site here. Also Willie Weenie Wagon hot dogs and the hometown of former 2001 first overall nba draft pick Kwame Brown
Its doesn't look that bad to me I have seen worse and you dont see addicts and homeless people living on the street in tents sleep in doorways it could be worse😊
The problem is they WONT unless they gentrify the area and move out all the black people. Which would be a situation where a lot of people in mid town will have to move into public housing on MLK BLVD (which would only make the projects more dangerous) and DIXVILLE which is arguably THE MOST dangerous hood in Brunswick. Every time gentrification happens like that, it makes crime go up and already bad hoods REALLY BAD. So i honestly rather the city NOT get involved in fixing up these houses...If anything create a program where poor people can get loans to hire people to fix their houses OR (in a perfect world) the city would just help them out WITHOUT forcing them to move and buying the property. Because most of the time when they gentrify it's forced removal and they give the people like $2,500 and tell them good luck which is absurd.
Hey! This is the south country living. I wished I can be down there now. When I get money definitely is a place to go stay in live the rest of my LIFE.
Amidst the rustic charm of weathered homes, the local canines diligently contribute to the neighborhood's natural aesthetic. Meanwhile, Ivy League scholars engage in open-air symposiums, passionately debating theorems from street to window, ensuring the diffusion of knowledge isn't confined to ivy-clad walls. The sidewalks, adorned with a mosaic of discarded wrappers, hint at the vibrant discourse of a community that refuses to be boxed in.
I’m originally from Brunswick. A number of those run down homes were not run down in the ‘80s and ‘90s during my youth. When I went to visit Brunswick a couple of years ago I was shocked at how some of the neighborhoods had gone downhill.
That's typically how the hood goes. Most black neighborhoods in america that used to thrive in the 70s and 80s slowly got worse over the decades and the city will not do anything about it unless they want to forcibly remove hundreds of people into the projects and worse neighborhoods which would only make crime go up drastically. If those neighborhoods get gentrified by the city it would really be bad for black people there. I'd like to see more of these rich black people to buy neighborhoods like this and fix it. Then they have the choice to either help the residents live and make the neighborhood better or be like the rich white people and move all the black people out in even worse impoverished area and make it more concentrated....then complain when violent crime starts to rise.
This is not a real reflection of what Brunswick/Glynn County looks like. Only showing run down parts of the Southside while driving avoiding the historic district thats right next to it that is full of really nice large homes. Also excludes St Simons Island & Jekyll Island that are also apart of Glynn County that are huge beach vacation spots. *also doesnt show Sea Island that is full of multimillion $ homes
It's mind blowing how people hold on to the past, especially southern people! The civil war ended what 170 years ago and people still live like this 😂.
VERY!!! I GOT A JOB OFFER THERE, NEVER HEARD OF THE PLACE, BUT WENT DOWN THERE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE INTERVIEW TO CHECK THE PLACE OUT.... LET'S JUST SAY I TURNED DOWN THE JOB OFFER! THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO MOVE THERE. I COULD LITERALLY FEEL THAT OLE PLANTATION, SLAVE TRADE, GHOSTLY VIBE! IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE YOU'RE IN A SWAMP!
@@MoneyComethToshelia I'm relieved you turned down that job offer. Brunswick, GA, despite some residents' claims, is a challenging place to live. It suffers from poverty, crime, including gang violence and theft, and a high homeless population, many of whom are criminals. The population is stagnant, with many unable to succeed elsewhere or seeking refuge. Substance abuse is prevalent, and the community lacks safety. It's good you didn't take the job; you would have been unhappy, unsafe, and unfulfilled there.
People move to the city or places thriving, then development buy pennies on the dollar, now 1/4 Million dollars home. Wealthy folks move to Rural quite towns, all part of the plans.
its poverty stricken for sure.. but I tell you this.. its some fire putty tat in south ga... im in atlanta but below macon is the real ga.... lots of poverty.. struggle.. and fine/treacherous females...sad
Looks like some neighborhoods in less developed countries, BUT this is the USA??😮😮😮Nonetheless the place looks peaceful. I see nice cars but the buildings are dilapidated. Every country in the world has this type of neighborhoods, even worse.
This country is stuck in time when it comes to any improvement in black and brown communities. They want us to get our act together, but conveniently ignore their complicity.
@@Powerule23 Then how do you explain ex President Obama and many others from ethnic backgrounds who have made a success of their lives by hard work, diligence, education and refusing to believe the mantra that they are downtrodden victims? Or is it just easier to blame someone else for the situation that you find yourself in?
@@johnlocke6506 It's not the case of perpetuating a victim mentality; it's about recognizing why poor people remain poor. Racism and social suppression is a fact. So let's not pretend that it doesn't exist. Personally speaking, I don't blame society for my situation in life as I'm exceptionally well educated, and by all standards, very successful. And, I tell fellow blacks that assuming the role of a victim is self-defeating. But that doesn't change the reality of what has, and continues to occur against black and brown people in this country. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are indifferent to minorities and want us to pretend oppression doesn't exist. Your argument is convenient for you, just like an anyone lost in being a victim.

There’s a lot of refugees who are running to Georgia that couldn’t survive or make it bigger states to have a better quality living.

"Humble" is an interesting word to describe something in such a dire state.
This must be an old, old town-because some trees look like they're over 300 years old! By-George!
I know right. At 7:55 that has to be one of the widest trees I've ever seen. Covering two properties it looks like.
Every town on earth is an old town. Even if it’s been modernized
I lived here last year working for a bit at the resort. The history of this town is with the trees they are part of our ancestors
You have to wonder who has the better life? People who work hard, strive to have nice things with constant stress over payments and a high end lifestyle. Or is those who don't?
This place looks like a ghost town with few opportunities for locals. Id say living there is very depressing for those reasons
Those who are able to spend a decent amount of time with those that they care about.
