I grew up in Baltimore in the 70’s . Used to play in the fire hydrant water and the cops wouldn’t mess with us . Knew the mailman by name , bought fruit from the wagons ! Could walk in the neighbors house and get a drink , everyone was like family . My how times have changed !
Detroit, Michigan. People went there for jobs. Jobs went out of our country . Motor city now cant even clean up the old industrial sites. They dont have the money. People who could leave did what was left were people who didnt have money to get out. Now its a dead city. Without big business there . Its a sad day.
I’m from Baltimore now live in AZ. It’s rough, but I have to go back home every couple of months for a reality check. It make you grind even harder to never have to go back. It’s definitely survival of the fittest!
Nice video but pls be careful going into alleys and I'm from Baltimore born and raised and it's sad dat ik sum of the parts u went past this is where I get inspired by and motivated me to become successful I hate living in a dangerous place like this I know God got me it's just tuff out here but imma make it out
I really hope you get out soon. I was blessed enough to not be in a bad neighborhood like that and get to raise my kids somewhere safer. I still wouldn't trust my neighbors that much, but it's nothing like that. Please be safe.
The most depressing thing about this isn't the physical decay - most of the houses look well-built and suitable for renovation - but the apparent purposelessness of the people's lives.
@@dgratt183 Thanks for the tip. Difficult to believe it's the same city. I think areas can change quickly almost anywhere (I'm in England) but unfortunately the change is usually for the worse. I know a few rare examples of areas becoming highly desirable but this was after enormous sums of money were pumped in - and the existing residents moved out/priced out.
The houses are actually very old and delapidated. Yes, on the outside they are brick and have good bones but you know the public housing authority isn't repairing anything. Would you like to live in a tiny hundred year old row house that is falling apart and has zero soundproofing so you can hear everything your neighbours are doing? No wonder these people brave the cold instead.
@@apseudonym You don't need loans for renovations. If it's not economically viable to them than they shouldn't get loans anyway. A bit of paint and maybe some plants or even pick up some trash is a good start. Banks don't care about where you live or what the renovations are for they just want to have faith they will get the loan back eventually.
I'm from Baltimore and I can say this, they may look like bad areas, but not all of the people are bad. When my grandmother went missing, the ONLY people who would help us while we were out looking were the people from O'Donnell Heights who had seen her walking around and would talk to her. They even referred to her as grandma and knew she got confused. Unfortunately, she was found dead not far from home in a backyard. I agree with everyone to be careful, but that goes for the westside, white marsh, dundalk etc.. As long as you're not in their business and not drawing any suspicion to yourself you'll be ok.
Honestly that goes for lots of "bad areas." Some people really judge a book by its cover..I grew up poor in atlanta. As long as you minded your business like you said, everything cool.
Yeah Baltimore is not a safe place at all. Sure there are some nice people there but that doesn't really make up for all the terrible ones. Nobody in there right minds should visit this shithole.
I think driving a car through the city is not bringing trouble to yourself. Ask the people who have been carjacked or assaulted by squeezie boys, robbed or shot for nothing. I lived there for over 20 years. It is a dangerous city which has gotten more dangerous. Let cut through the bullshit. It is not like White Marsh or the other places you named. It is a shithole and I am glad I could afford to leave. I have a condo there by Walthers Avenue and Northern Parkway. It is a decent area. I do not want to live there so I rent it out. No thanks Baltimore!
Born and raised in East Baltimore. There used to be a lot of nice, safe neighborhoods in the city and excellent public schools. High crime rates were pretty much limited to only certain parts of town. But now the entire city is being turned into a no-go zone. There is almost no place left in or around Baltimore City where you can escape the madness. No one has the guts to elect people to office who could turn the city around. A formerly beautiful waterfront city, left in ruins because we keep electing incompetent people to run it. It's a shame.

It’s kind of our greatest strength. We have a de-centralized system. Thankfully, it’s not as if the president is making top-down orders and everyone follows suit. There’s a lot of wiggle room at the state and city level. That being said, this means some cities will be better governed than others for many different reasons
@@Charlotte_2648 exactly, and even if they wanted to change; with the past they have had, and their records and no job history no one would fucking hire them even if they wanted to straighten up. It’s a sad cycle here
Well what non Americans don’t realize is all states are governed differently especially in laws also you might get life in New York City for carrying a gun but another person in new jersey might get 5 yrs.

Everybody looks to blames the president you have to start first from within the states, have you seen Philly just has bad looking with trash everywhere it’s very sad I’m from the Bronx in New York and my borough look bad at one point then came in Giuliani And Bloomberg and clean it up, but now it’s going into another direction again getting bad …
Born and raised here, and still live here. Baltimore has so much beauty and history, and is much more than what is being shown. Our city is broken down by neighborhoods. You can drive through a shitty area one minute, and then be around some absolutely beautiful neighborhoods. We’re divided by zones and for every “ bad one,” there is another beautiful one a few streets away. Yes drugs, crime, and violence exist, but that’s in every metropolitan area. We are a highly densely populated small city, so everyone is trying to do them and survive. Be safe out there.
Yup! That’s good ol Baltimore alright. Made me cringe just watching it. I’m 75, was born and raised there. Was such a beautiful place in the 1950s. It’s a hell hole now.
Times, attitudes and morales have changed, that’s my take on it. Baltimore isn’t unlike other large cities these days. And it doesn’t matter what color you are or ethnic group. My personal opinion is it all begins at home. The breakdown of the family makes kids helpless and hopeless. But it’s something that CAN be fixed. People just don’t want to hear it. They’d rather blame it elsewhere. I’m so glad I remember Baltimore back then. It was great.
born and raised in west baltimore, i lived in an apartment complex and it was a project, many people were killed and robbed and dumped in the forest. there was many incidents of pizza delivery workers being killed and their bodys dumped in the dumpster. my dad told me that someone was tied up and they were robbed in their apartment. very sad to see my city go down like this. i moved to baltimore county in 2013 and i see no difference.
@Doug Sawyer not even a comparable show. The Wire isnt just a cop show.. And ur fckn crazy to think the shield is better lol u probably just like cop shows i guess. The Wire show all angles, the street, cops, and politics. No comparison

Facts i lived there all my life in I never rode my cars down them diry ass alleys but east west north south Baltimore i did that its a crying out shame looking at this thats why I got my two boys tf out of our city in if you knew better for your kids you would do the same pbp 😥 fix it up stop the killings in start living got dam shame man
@@grandmaAnnaa Good for you, my friend ! Smart move for you and your children, gives them a better chance at a decent life. Such a shame what's gone on and is going on in the city.
Some of the properties with completely bricked up/cemented up openings are completely gutted out braced shells on the inside, and _must_ remain standing to preserve the structural integrity of the front, rear, and side walls these buildings share with other occupied flats... Some of these sealed structures have been that way since the 70s...
Born and raised there. While the entire city isnt like this, is sad that you can drive for such a long time and see such despair. Ive lived in 2 projects as a kid, but when I go to Baltimore now, I'm very selective about where to drive. Tip: Areas with blue police lights should be avoided unless you live there and know what time it is.
@@empresskhadijah2677 blue light district. Blue police lights on the streetlights. I guess they're supposed to deter crime or something, don't quite understand their purpose.
wow this channel has really grown. It's unique because you don't have a narrator distracting you. It just shows the reality of a lot of areas of America. The viewer can see what they want to see/take what they want from it.
I'm watching it from Baltimore City. I've lived here 21 years and never have been a victim of more than a car break in (and that was years ago). Yeah, the City has a crime issue, especially in low-income neighborhoods after dark.
I work in the middle of downtown. Man, you see people snortin' coke and crack in broad daylight. Saw a couple of drive by shootings and fatal vehicular accidents at the intersection of Paca and Saratoga. But still, its home!😜
I lived, played and walked thru a lot of these neighborhoods as a kid. My anxiety is so high lol. I was able to move away. And I really want to do something to help my people back in the city.
@@SRTKOVA I agree that Baltimore is cheaper than some other parts of MD. But its also lower quality of life than those areas too. No improvement in these areas, but 2 years ago prices were much lower.

(Not making accusations)
Right... and in Memphis where I'm from. mf'rs get thrown in the sippi for trying to act hard like that, it's the ones that sit back and wait that you gotta worry about those are the real killers.
Respect for going at night. A lot of videos I’ve seen are from people who are scared and go out on early Sunday morning lol. I’ve been to and recognize so many of these places. People in the comments who don’t live here don’t understand, when this is something you’ve grown up around, it doesn’t really phase you as much.
West Coast? As in California? What is so different about LA and Baltimore City? Same crime tolerance for the criminals; same empty lives with no futures, same laws that release criminals the next day, same drug issues...what's so great about CA? Oh sure, if you are rich and have money, LA is wonderful, but most not rich or can afford housing. Look at San Francisco...the city has become a hell hole of hopelessness.
Thank you CharlieBoi for your videos. I am addicted to them. I would love to ride with you while we explore the back streets of Baltimore, sipping on a pint of Hennessey.
Back before all the major industries (and jobs they provided) disappeared from the Baltimore area, even the neighborhoods shown in this video were decent and clean. People had the means to care for their neighborhoods when everyone was working. I know because I was born in Baltimore in 1950 and remember riding through the inner city areas on bus or streetcar trips downtown from where we lived on the west side. I always took note of the blocks of rowhouses passing by because I developed a love for the city's rowhouse architecture at an early age. It would cost a fortune today to replace one of these substantial blocks of solid brick homes with the same craftsmanship and materials that originally went into their construction. Even in an abandoned and neglected state, the walls are still solid and usually don't even have any settlement cracks or sagging building lines.
We share the same memories.....I remember as a kid going on the bus to Light street with my mother to shop and have lunch.....it was safe back then. I grew up in Brooklyn and as kids we left bikes out and doors unlocked. The street I grew up on looks like a third world country today . So sad!
Yeah, I noticed those row houses also. They look great. I don't think the people there know what they have on their hands there, they should start reading about urbanism and urban planning, the structure there is fantastic. With the necessary funds you could transform this area in amazing ways, but then, that's what gentrification is I guess, with all its bad and good effects.
I lived in Baltimore back in the '80s and have fond memories of the city. I wouldn't want to live there now, but I haven't stopped loving the city, it's style and it's culture
I was just home last week. I hadn’t been home in two years.. I love my city, loved my childhood, a very dangerous place.. but being an adult and around people who hadn’t been raised that way.. we move totally different. I would never change that, taught me a lot
I’m from the south side of Baltimore and a white boy born and raised on the west side. It’s not a great place to live but they know who’s who and who’s new!!! If your looking for trouble it’s not far but mind your business keep moving and you’ll be ok. There’s a lot of good people here too👍
True enough. My best friend lived on North Ave and Perlman ( not west Baltimore but still not the best area) and I never worried much. Just keep it moving and mind your business.
I live in Georgia now for a while and it ok here. But I love it back home. Baltimore is in my blood. Tempted to move back all the time. These vids make me feel like I'm still there..lol.. thanks fam
Lol I lived here since I was 6 I’m 21 now. Never got robbed. If you look like you can’t defend yourself, lost, or scared then yeah you’d probably get robbed.
From South Philly but moved to Baltimore about 10 years ago. I've lived in Park Heights ( Woodland and Reisterstown ) Sandtown ( Mosher and Calhoun ) and now live in the county. My fiance is not from the city and I've taken her to my old neighborhoods and she gets so sad and scared when we would go. Looking at it now realizing this really isn't a normal way to grow up become adjusted to. It really is depressing realizing what these children are born into and have to battle to not get sucked into the mindset and the environment
I'm from Philly too, north Philly Reisterstown looks kinda nice, but being white I don't know how you made it living in sandtown. I moved from Philly to Hagerstown which isn't too bad.
Mosher and Calhoun where the Housing Authority will put your hands on the hood. Hook use to run for me around Sandtown. A friend of mine, Randal, OD and died in a basement in Sandtown. Pennsylvania Avenue got too hot and thus Mosher was where you had go.

Used to feel the same way. When the riots happened and tore up the city it helped change my mind. The city will never change, it’s crazy violent and full of drugs. Even the “nice” parts are a gamble.
@@LegitMind An organization or mob of people this doesn't have to be gangsters it can be a group of people who have each others contact numbers to target, stalk, do harm and intimidate a person.

True. You hear about places like Compton, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Camden, Flint, and St. Louis all the time but outaiders honestly have no business driving there lol
5:36 This alley is really interesting because it almost looks like some streets do in European cities that were built-up long before cars came into the picture. I know Baltimore is an old city. I wonder how old this alley/street is?
Charlie if you're still out that way try 2200 Booth Street and 2100 Boyd St in southwest Baltimore. Real tight and mostly abandoned streets right next to each other in Shipley Hill area. That whole area rough too. Good video 💪
I bought a house in the city and the best thing that happened was getting hard working neighbors. None of that street stuff and I love it. Wish everyone else got their act together. It’s literrally like that in every major city with the same group.
I think Baltimore and st.louis have a lot in common. I grew up in st.louis and my aunt lived in Baltimore so I spent a lot of time in both cities. Great cities that are sadly plagued with crime and often overlooked
Graduated from U MD in 92. In the late 80's/early 90's, I would regularly visit Fells Point, Little Italy, Greektown, Harbor, Charles Street, so many other places. No chance now!
Charle St. is a shadow of it's former glory. Used to be packed on Fridays, now you can barely find a soul walking. And that change happened right after the FG riot. The middle class is tired of playing games with this city.
One college break, years ago, my friend and I drove from DC to Baltimore to get a couple party favors and get out of town for the night. I was picturing a family connection, stop by someone’s house kind of deal, but my friend failed to mention his brother is old school and you basically have to just ride around town and find his squad. Like the man doesn’t even use a phone for business. We eventually make the deal and a child who had to be under the age of 10 ran it to the car. That’s when I thought, “what the fuck am I doing here”. I thought SE DC was bad, and I’ve lived in Oakland too but I’ve never felt more vulnerable and exposed than in Baltimore.
Got be careful diving through them alleys in Bmore city rules so your car don't get holes in it just be careful diving through alleys in b more I'm from here and I will tell you not a safe thing to do is go through alleys in Balt
Remember MD and PA the sites of the original colonizers so most of the structures were made with the same architecture throughout the North East coast .
In many colonial cities and towns your property tax was based on the amount of street frontage you had. So many row houses were built very narrow and very high. In lots of cases they also extended their basement underneath the sidewalk frontage to gain extra room. Corner properties became bars and stores, because their incomes could support the higher tax assessments.
A lot of the houses in the east coast look like that because they were once one family homes and they were built during the mid to late 1800's and resemble the houses in europe
Those row houses are so beautiful. I can only imagine what it looked at its peak, it must've been gorgeous. Baltimore is unique in that there are still people, there is still density, you got to Detroit and sooooo much of it is just gone. There isn't an urban feel, the neighborhoods don't feel like a city, B-More still feels like a city, it is a one of a kind place.
I grew up in Baltimore. It was so much peaceful back in the 90s wasn't that much killing but really fun to enjoy being outside with your friends playing freeze tag , and hot butter Ben and really enjoy going out to the clubs yea we fight but you live to tell the story we have to pray 🙏 for our city Stop all the killing love one another ❤

@@Charlotte_2648 exactly, and even if they wanted to change; with the past they have had, and their records and no job history no one would fucking hire them even if they wanted to straighten up. It’s a sad cycle here

Born and raised here, and still live here. Baltimore has so much beauty and history, and is much more than what is being shown. Our city is broken down by neighborhoods. You can drive through a shitty area one minute, and then be around some absolutely beautiful neighborhoods. We’re divided by zones and for every “ bad one,” there is another beautiful one a few streets away. Yes drugs, crime, and violence exist, but that’s in every metropolitan area. We are a highly densely populated small city, so everyone is trying to do them and survive. Be safe out there.
I visited in 2018. Fells Point has to be the most twee neighbourhood in the US!
Some people just can’t seem to change their culture and raise their children correctly, and so the cycle will continue like this
True , but like the video states , the driver is exploring the worst pqrt only here.
U hear those bitches yelling 😅😅😅
Amen
For someone who lives in Sydney, you cruising down those alleys at 8:50 gives me chills. Those alleyways look damn terrifying!
Same here!
Bro I've lived in Baltimore County my whole life and I'm even scared to drive through the city lol.
Imagine being a child and having to live in this
Lived in those streets till I was 9
Yeah but in Sydney you’ve got lebos doing drive bys
Imagine getting a flat tire in the middle of one those alleyways
😲

You keep driving.
Very scary.
Yup! That’s good ol Baltimore alright. Made me cringe just watching it. I’m 75, was born and raised there. Was such a beautiful place in the 1950s. It’s a hell hole now.
Why did it stop being beautiful?
Times, attitudes and morales have changed, that’s my take on it. Baltimore isn’t unlike other large cities these days. And it doesn’t matter what color you are or ethnic group. My personal opinion is it all begins at home. The breakdown of the family makes kids helpless and hopeless. But it’s something that CAN be fixed. People just don’t want to hear it. They’d rather blame it elsewhere. I’m so glad I remember Baltimore back then. It was great.
@@deestatham I remember reading that Baltimore is 66% black.
So... Absolutely no connection here?
@@JJDvorshak No, I don’t think so. I just think it’s the times. Placing blame on any ethnic group is just a cop out and totally unfair.

born and raised in west baltimore, i lived in an apartment complex and it was a project, many people were killed and robbed and dumped in the forest. there was many incidents of pizza delivery workers being killed and their bodys dumped in the dumpster. my dad told me that someone was tied up and they were robbed in their apartment. very sad to see my city go down like this. i moved to baltimore county in 2013 and i see no difference.

Some of these sealed structures have been that way since the 70s...

Back before all the major industries (and jobs they provided) disappeared from the Baltimore area, even the neighborhoods shown in this video were decent and clean. People had the means to care for their neighborhoods when everyone was working. I know because I was born in Baltimore in 1950 and remember riding through the inner city areas on bus or streetcar trips downtown from where we lived on the west side. I always took note of the blocks of rowhouses passing by because I developed a love for the city's rowhouse architecture at an early age. It would cost a fortune today to replace one of these substantial blocks of solid brick homes with the same craftsmanship and materials that originally went into their construction. Even in an abandoned and neglected state, the walls are still solid and usually don't even have any settlement cracks or sagging building lines.
We share the same memories.....I remember as a kid going on the bus to Light street with my mother to shop and have lunch.....it was safe back then. I grew up in Brooklyn and as kids we left bikes out and doors unlocked. The street I grew up on looks like a third world country today . So sad!
Yeah, I noticed those row houses also. They look great. I don't think the people there know what they have on their hands there, they should start reading about urbanism and urban planning, the structure there is fantastic. With the necessary funds you could transform this area in amazing ways, but then, that's what gentrification is I guess, with all its bad and good effects.
A beautiful tradition of olden and far better days in Baltimore City was washing and scrubbing the white stairs in front of row homes.
This area was bad before any jobs were lost.
That’s the thing JOBS..
I lived in Baltimore back in the '80s and have fond memories of the city. I wouldn't want to live there now, but I haven't stopped loving the city, it's style and it's culture

Graduated from U MD in 92. In the late 80's/early 90's, I would regularly visit Fells Point, Little Italy, Greektown, Harbor, Charles Street, so many other places. No chance now!
Charle St. is a shadow of it's former glory. Used to be packed on Fridays, now you can barely find a soul walking. And that change happened right after the FG riot. The middle class is tired of playing games with this city.

Baltimore looks a lot like Philly, I wonder why the rowhouses are so common in the Mid-Atlantic compared to the the rest of the states
Remember MD and PA the sites of the original colonizers so most of the structures were made with the same architecture throughout the North East coast .
In many colonial cities and towns your property tax was based on the amount of street frontage you had. So many row houses were built very narrow and very high. In lots of cases they also extended their basement underneath the sidewalk frontage to gain extra room. Corner properties became bars and stores, because their incomes could support the higher tax assessments.
Baltimore, philly, jersey, NYC look very similar
A lot of the houses in the east coast look like that because they were once one family homes and they were built during the mid to late 1800's and resemble the houses in europe
Germans built alot of these parts on the east coast
Those row houses are so beautiful. I can only imagine what it looked at its peak, it must've been gorgeous. Baltimore is unique in that there are still people, there is still density, you got to Detroit and sooooo much of it is just gone. There isn't an urban feel, the neighborhoods don't feel like a city, B-More still feels like a city, it is a one of a kind place.
