@@Ozama1221 Im talking about K&A Any one who gos to the spot just calls it Kensington The intersection of Kensington and E Allegheny ave. Anyone going to that part of North Philly just calls it Kensington. Been going for years even lived there when I was getting high. No one says Im going to north philly that could mean anything. Im going to kensington.
Crazy story… I lived in Baltimore for like a year in my early 20’s. When I first moved there I parked my car on North Ave (at night) and went walking down the block to see if I could find some weed. A man in a truck pulled up to me and asked me “Is it ready out here?” I didn’t know the slang and I was so focused on getting weed, I replied “I’m tryna see!” I hopped in the back of his pickup truck and we rode down the street and He told me to wait there. This young dude comes up to me and asks me “You wanted the ready?” I say yeah and he then gets this sad look on his face. He asked me how old I was, to which I replied “Old enough my guy”. He tells me I’m too pretty to be out here like this and I say “Can I just get my stuff please?” He proceeds to hand me a crack rock. I literally screamed and dropped it! He quickly picks it up while shushing me. I told him I was looking for weed. He laughed super hard and then told me he knew I wasn’t from around there as he scolded me about using slang I didn’t know the meaning of. He takes me to get the weed and I speed walked back to my car embarrassed and scared for my life😂😂😩😩😩. I must be one of God’s favorites cause I have put myself in some precarious situations🤦🏾♀️
@@kenyamahrei1627 Bmore got a lot of dangerous fun.. It's ez to not realize your wylin. You might not realize it til you see somebody got shot in the same block on the news the next day.
While watching, I imagined going back in time to the '30s or '40s and showing this video to my mom and saying, "this is your hometown less than a hundred years from now." I can only wonder what she would've thought.
You are going to have to start getting up into NW Baltimore. There was just shots pouring out over a stolen dirt bike. It looks nicer than what you see here, but it's getting dangerous.
2:17 -- A common theme in all these run down neighborhoods. "Feel good" cultural art depicting the "black experience"... and the juxtaposition of what it really looks like in today's inner cities. What a shame. The cultural icons normally depicted on these murals... Malcom X... MLK... etc. They would all be raging inside if you sat them down today and made them watch this footage.
Man they hadda filmed The Wire up in there. Looked like Chris and Snoop right in front at the end. lol. Sounds like you have an exhaust or cat leak. Stay safe , its starting to get warm.
Lived in Dundalk for 3 years. Came from a small town in Florida. Most people didn't bother me or try to take advantage of me for what ever reason. I was in the not so nice neighborhood around Merrit Blvd. I was good friends with my neighbors they said to me when I first moved there," are you lost"? I would say, " I guess so but, I live here now so it is what it is." I will say the squeegee bois are awesome I always tip them they are trying to make ends meet for them and or their families. Honest work.
Many years ago i walked through there took a three hour tour of bad getto and was lost i didn't know what i was getting into ( im white Canadian) but gotta say nobody bothered me and found people in Baltimore to be very nice 💯
That's why I just laughed at BLM, and the idiots who fell for the propaganda. It was infuriating because they were all disrupting the public over a lie. You didn't see a crowd of white liberals marching with signs down the streets in Baltimore. It was all a lie.
real talk bruh,,,this hurts 4 real,,,to see our peeps living like that,,,I mean i know ghetto aka Pjs as a child but dang it wasnt even like this ,,this is jacked,,,and knowing they prolly aint got nuthn betta,,I wish i had it like dat to sponsor a family to get em out,,some may not even care,,lots have zero choice and to not even have embarrassment,,,i guess its a way of life ,,,if im not from there then i cant possibly understnd but dtill hurts,hurts for real bruh,,,i mean thanks for the exposure but Damn!!
I don't understand how they can keep up this "greatest country in the world" thing. They can't be serious, right? There is one thing I like about the US. The fact that I don't live there.
Brooklyn New York look just like this area in the 1970. The house were bought and fixed up. The residents were price out of the neighborhood. That what will happen to this area.
This doesnt even look like the US, its like its own country. The society is totally different. We all watch the video and see how bad it is but when you actually drive through and see it with your own eyes its crazy
Am I the only one who thinks Baltimore is very similar to st.louis? I’ve spent a lot of time in both cities and to me the culture and architecture are somewhat similar
Them alleys in Baltimore are dangerous, we did hvac my boss parked in alley, I was putting tools back, turn around had shotgun and 45 to my head. By grace of god when they escorted me to the back door , the door swung open to the left, as I walked in I stepped to the right, slam door in their face as I walked in, ducked, locked the door, crawled into the kitchen…. If that door opened to the right, no way I’ll be able to do what I did
Great Hussle one time in Baltimore looking for some Ganja. We found someone fairly quickly. He shows my man a nice looking nug with smaller ones in bag. He says look at it let me know if you want. Oh yeah was replied. He says wait here. We still have bag in hand he goes to this bag pulls something out and walks back signals to give him the money and his original bag. He then hands over a tin foil wrapped bag and immediately starts saying police police. And starts walking away. Since we were out of Towner's. We stuff what we got in pocket and scurry back to the car. Open up our bag and yes it was the finest grass in Baltimore. Lawn grass that is. This MF took a clump of lawn put it in a bag and pawned it off. On my bro for $30. Lol. We still laugh cause that was done so well. But hey thanks to prohibition it puts good people in some real shitty spots. Note. It's not the drugs that are killing us citizens. It's the stuff people are putting into the drugs that are killing people. It's that cut that is making people go bonkers, get sick ECT. All the data we get and try to decipher is all wrong cause it's not cocaine or ..... They are selling. It's some basement chemical compound that looks like it that's what we are studying. If the product was untainted and the risk was 0. States taking the profits out of this mess. After about 5 years the USA would be a much safer, sober place to live. Drug cartels are here cause we make stupid stuff like cocaine,ECT expensive and risky. Take that risk and profit away and those leeches of the world will go elsewhere. We say decriminalize it all. Offer clinics that can provide clean drugs at fair cost, needle exchange and the words we are right here when you have had enough and want to try sobriety out. From what we have read is now a animal tranquilizer is being used to cut fentanyl and that product actually eats away at the users flesh. WTF. We tried the bully arrest jail threaten way and it has done nothing but cause death and sadness. Could it get any worse if we provide the means to clean non cut drugs a safer way to use these drugs. Take the profits from the cartels and offer a better way of life when ready. We say no way it would get worse. You will always have addicts but the shootings and crime and unnecessary deaths and sickness would drop significantly. Again these drugs are only a huge problem because government made them that way. You take away the profit, which takes away cutting drugs with dangerous substances which stops deaths, provides no way to make gangs big money.
as a 50 year old white kid i have harped about the lack of concern for our urban citizens since 1983. I had friends that endured this environment. Always with a smile they went about their day. It pisses me the f off. CZcams made me edit but what are they doing to help humanity as a whole!
@Billy B they being urban citizens. The same They reference can be made to the white drug addicts that wander the streets. check out kensington ave in philadelphia. get off your fucking high horse and recognize or society will deal with it
America the beautiful. The video is depressing. A state next to the Nation Capital...not that the Capital hoods are not depressing too.....but, but, but, but.

Moving out of Baltimore as soon as I came of age was one of the best decisions I ever made…

Don't be disrespecting the hood that raised you
This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading.
Stop saying shit like that
It’s unprofessional
There are a lot of scary looking neighborhoods shown on this channel, but Baltimore and North Philly just have a different atmosphere, in my opinion.
North Philly is the countries biggest open drug market. People buy and do their drugs right there on the street or in beautiful Needle Park.

Never thought to look on CZcams? Lol
Baltimore is beautiful
@Billy B they?
@@AkaDrewDaddy People who live in clay huts
@Billy B oh no i was just tryna get you to admit something
I'm just binge watching The Wire, this is just great in this moment
This Is our community, it's sad just in poverty and tearing each other down.
Best tv show ever!
This real life scary ass mf
Proof that all those shots of bad Detroit neighborhoods, are really in Baltimore! 😀
Baltimore has more interesting architecture than Detroit
You gotta be from Baltimore to understand why no one leaves💯
I was born in '78, this is Baltimore. Glad we moved away but at times I still miss it. You have to be from Baltimore to understand.
I get it! I'm from boston. Gone for 40 yes! Still get on these walking videos of Boston hoods!

In Jesus' name bring HEALING and PROSPERITY to this neighborhood ❤️🙏♥️ AMEN.
This shit never helped anyone
Charlie you better get outta there quick and better not stop at no stop signs
You are going to have to start getting up into NW Baltimore. There was just shots pouring out over a stolen dirt bike. It looks nicer than what you see here, but it's getting dangerous.
That was crazy as hell. Dude in the red truck was definitely blessed not to get hit by any of them shots

You mean the black community
Bmore & Philly……are damn near identical
I've always said this! Bmore, North Philly, and Camden NJ all look like the same city
What were seeing here folks is the future of most american cities in 20-50 years from now ...step right up folks .
You're right and europe too

Beautiful city thinking about moving there soon
Bmore is literally the worst of the worst.
1:10 startled me with that yelling they were doing. I thought the person on the skateboard was just standing in the middle of the street at first
I'd rather move..than stay in a place with nothing going on except for drugs and violence !!
No changes whatsoever has been made to Baltimore MD, ever since the multi-TV series The Corner, and The Wire.
The wire was a great show to see how Baltimore was really like
