    The odd thing about this video is you went through the middle of two neighborhoods that I have lived in for many years. The most disappointing is your portrayal of the Paseo Arts District. Did you do any research about the history of this area? Did you look into the improvements being done near the Capitol? Even though I don't live there anymore, my family and closest friends do. Your insulting view of Oklahoma City is unwarranted! If you wish to "unbox" something, you should actually get to know the areas and people that live there before passing judgment.

They always say “what about the Tornadoes?” And I always reply…you can drive away for an hour or two of your day and avoid them & just come back home (lived there 15yrs and never got hit) but in Reno I have to breathe in smoke for days, sometimes a week or longer, due to wild fires. I’ll take the tornado.

      You drove through the Paseo district which is pretty popular for the restaurants, some really nice ones actually and how walkable the area is. There's actually some upscale places to eat. And you were mere blocks from Oklahoma city's oldest very affluent neighborhood. You did drive around some of the north east side which is a poorer area as well as near the state capital which has some very nice old two story homes that you would have to be earning a pretty good salary to afford to live there. Where are you from? I've lived here my entire life and I know where the poorest, with a higher crime rate neighborhood truly are. Guess I should make my own video.

      It isn't. He needs to go around 44th st between High and Shields. My boyfriend had an apartment around there for a while he actually purchased a firearm before moving there in case he needed it. He didn't even want to have any of his friends over there the whole year he lived there. He never even had me over there. Ironic thing is he lives over there near the area that is shown in the video and feels much safer and more comfortable having me and other friends over.

Even then, they aren’t bad homes the people are great and the schools are all black. We don’t have a grocery store over there anymore but it sucks to say it’s the worst neighborhoods.
