Nothing happens to you in Louisville unless you're involved in something. Elderly rich people can be seen biking through every "bad" neighborhood he named and they're all currently being gentrified. 😂
He really doesn’t. I’m tired of people making these videos shitting on our cities. Its white folks riding bikes and walking dogs all throughout the east.
I think you are way hyping up how dangerous Newburg and Taylor/Berry areas are... I have spent a decent amount of time in both of them and have never had any problems... If you go in to some of these places looking for trouble you will definitely find it, but if you don't try to start anything or get mixed up in some dumb shit you will be fine...
HiJose...Katie. I lived and worked on the east side of Louisville, KY for several years before relocating to Jacksonville, FL. Honestly, it looks like Louisville has not gotten any better from your video. I could not live there again. What a shame.
Well really I remember living in Okalona off of Old South Park. When I live there it wasn't many blacks in the neighborhood just us in a few others and it was very racist. I went to Blake elementary School.
I lived in Adam's Run in Okalona for years and it was your typical white community, I still got family that lives in that neighborhood and have for 20 years now
What you said! Loved how he basically insinuated shively was made up of nothing but 7th street, and how he split taylor/berry, Jacob's, and Southside when they all pretty much the same hood lmao. He making it look way worse too. Born n Raised in the ville, been here all my life. Lived in 7 of these hoods he mentioned. Yes we have gun violence (but since the rise of the opiod crisis name a city in the US that dont, ill wait), and yes Briana Taylors life was tragically robbed from her by the hands of police officers here (in the south off st andrews not the east btw) and not only our police force but also our basketball program have proven problematic but to be honest other than all that mixed with some drug related bullshit like panhandling, petty theft, etc. I've never encountered anything half as terrible as he describes here in all my 36 years.
I left Louisville after graduating U of L in 89. It was a nice city. I moved to Cali...and it used to be a nice state....DRUGS destroyed it all. It is NOT racism
People from every city love to think their city is so dangerous. From Cleveland, OH moved to Louisville living in Okolona but have friends all over the city. If you’re not somewhere you have no business being, doing something you no business doing, I’ve never had a problem. Louisville is a great city relatively.
Right, I move from St. Louis MO and this city has nothing on my home town. I have no problems in louisville, but then again I don't hangout, nor talk to ppl. I mind my business and keep it moving.
I’m from the west end of Louisville and it is horrible, but not because it’s worse than other cities but because it try’s to copy everything they see on TV or from other cities or states trying to put itself on the map for things others are trying to get away from
i live in newburg and i do not feel safe here, this video explains alot of what i've been going through the past few years, unfortunately i'm 23 and disabled and my family doesn't support me so it's a struggle to live on my own
@@fishbinky I see well idk what it is I can really do for you but if you need help hit me up I'm pretty easy to find I myself live close to Jefferson mall off okolona
Laughed my ass off watching this video. Louisville is a great place. Grew up and spent time in a lot of these areas. Come back to visit often. Gotta watch your back like any other city, bit that's life. Would be great to see a video about the good that is coming out of these parts of the city.
It just breaks my heart when I watched this video. I am not getting into the political reasons. Growing up in Louisville was one of the best times of my life. I tell people how happy I was growing up in Louisville. Part of my childhood was the Longfield area then the Hounz Lane area. Thank you for the video 📹. Great job.
I was born & raised in Iroquois PJs. Then moved to the West Side 33rd & Broadway when I was a young momma. Eventually moved outta state. But I'm bk here now. I moved to Valley station in 2018. It was what I call a nice neighborhood. But in last 4yrs there has been a major change (down hill) just in last 2months I've been round 3 people that have died of murder or suspiciously. But I will always respect where I came from. The Ville Baby. All Day. 💯
I'm in Newburg and Buechel area all the time. There's definitely a lot going on but I've never felt worried. I think the violence is mostly gang or clique related. I mind my own business and never had any problems.
Go spend your time around Shawnee Park or really anywhere west of 22nd, north of Dumesnil St all the way to the river. Just hangout a few nights around there and you'll see how nice Newburg is.
They've moved a lot of people from the former hoods out to Valley Station. I grew up in V.S., & it nothing like it is now. There were farms, all kinds of wooded areas, and was so different than it is now. My best friend still lives there and the crime is off the hook
When I moved to Louisville in 1963 on 3rd Street I walked all the way to Shawnee Park. Not one single incident! Now I won't even drive past 3rd Street!
I grew up in 5 houses that were within 2 blocks of Saint John's cemetery, if you know where that is on 26th St and Duncan. Got a great public school education from the early 60s to the mid 70s from teachers that wanted to lift me and my fellow students out of the relative poverty that existed, even then, had a lot of fun growing up down there, making our own entertainment, as you had to do in that scenario. I wouldn't walk around down there on a bet, today. I do "street level" Google Map and Google Earth "strolls" around my old haunting grounds and it breaks my heart to see the ruin. I thought it was bad that we had at least one bar on every corner, sometimes two, but to see that even those bars are empty lots or collapsed buildings is just unreal.
Pretty accurate for the most part but there are many very nice neighborhoods mainly in the east end of the city. If a visitor were to come here the first thing they would notice is there are panhandlers on almost every corner of the major roadways. This is one of my biggest gripes about living in Louisville many are homeless but not all they just find it an easy way to make money. Near these big intersections, entire homeless camps full of tents are allowed on public property. There is garbage everywhere in these areas which are never cleaned up. Allowing this has made the entire city look like garbage. There are many places for the homeless to live and get fed but many tend to just panhandle instead.
Totally agree on the panhandler situation though it has gotten a little better over the past 6-12 months. If you ever go by Oxmoor Mall you'd see a girl missing one of her legs standing by the entrance to the Mall or over by the Wendy's across the street. Her boyfriend/whatever would stand by the exit ramp from the Watterson to Shelbyville Rd. They would be out there all day everyday. Must've made a lot of $.
True are legit cases some are very sad many just don't want a real job this is a very lucrative way of making money no taxes and you live off the grid.
moved out of German Paristown in 2019. the housing market was in a position to allow me to sell my home, and buy a home without a mortgage in southwestern Virginia. I am so glad I got out of Louisville. I miss it but i know it is not the town I once knew.
Also many don’t know that Fort Knox is just on the outskirts of Louisville. I was stationed there and had some wild and weird experiences in Louisville primarily the Opana craze was when I lived in Radcliffe KY
This list is all f&@k up! If you are using this as a point of reference for research and or the history of Louisville please don’t. All of the areas he speaks of are bad but his information is inaccurate.
Shepherd Square, not Clarksdale is exactly where "SmokeTown" & the famous "Ali Boxing Gloves" statue are actually located @ in the East End of the City.
I've been in Louisville my whole life and it is worse than it has ever been don't move to Kentucky if you're looking for a safe place to live because you won't find it here even vacationers for being robbed everyday I wouldn't even come to this place for a vacation it's not worth it
Brianna Taylor Incident did not happen in eastern L’ville. It happened in south western part of Jefferson County (off St. Andrews Church Rd, Doss High School) Just like a 10min walk from where I grew up. We just called that area Fordhaven. We used to get weed from that area growing up there in the 90s lol The only thing that separated my neighborhood and Fordhaven was the L’ville southwest YMCA
Your segment on "Southside" (along with your video early on of Arling Ave) is right near where my sister-in-law moved a couple of years ago so she could sell her nice home in Clifton and have a place mortgage-free and retire. So far, she's been ok, but she NEVER goes out at night. Lots of police sirens, too. Interesting video. Some incorrect info (Breonna Taylor shooting location), but mostly "spot on".
Whats crazy is 10 years ago it wasnt really like this. Especially newburg, theres more gangs here now and my friend actually had someone start shooting at his car while he was on the watterson for no particular reason.
I lived on the same block as Muhammad Ali's childhood home and the surrounding area of the west end until 1993 then my family moved to the south end for one year and then in the northeast part of the county and you are right the crime has been worse since then.
There is no way he is from Louisville, some of the views are not even from areas he's speaking on especially the Shawnee area, at least nothing i've seen in the area as l am born and raised and live in that area of town. Totally inaccurate and purposely edited and narrated to make the west end of Louisville look bad. While true Louisville has it's rough, dangerous and seedy area's this is true of all cities across America especially in 2022 crime and evil darkness is all across the US even in the subberbs all the way down to small rural country towns truth be told. You can go to any city or town and find all the bad seedy parts of it edit it, narrate and piece it together and make it look horrible and threatening to anyone who doesn't know the difference. Yes even the city or town you live in too wherever you may be can be painted that way. No one is exempt from crime and mayhem in this dangerous day and age and if one thinks so they are completely delusional and without discernment. Monsters and demons are everywhere now even in some of you all's very own neighborhoods and homes that you live in may be a boogeyman. No matter how posh and beautiful your surroundings may be there will be danger and evil that surrounds you rather you choose to see it or not.
I mived away in 2004 but swer i loved growing up there i lived right by arcade projects went to frayser i lived in Iroquois projects lived on 18th 21st 30th n duncan i ki ed in German town southern pkwy eastern pkwy. Loved everywhere loved my neighbors yeah we faught everyday when little some as teens and couple times as adults but always have each others back always ❤and support my neighborhood cant belive its so different now looks the same just sounds different
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Saint Mathews, Middletown, and Clifton are all pretty good. My point is that random crime can happen anywhere. Where we are, it good, better than Bethlehem PA and Saint Louis where we were previously.
@@jayholiday256 Meh, more & more crime in Saint Matthews made me move out of the area. Nothing violent for the most part but a lot of thefts & break-ins. Having a methadone clinic down the road didn't help things.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you are NOT going to find homeless people anywhere near Propect, Anchorage, Indian Hills, Mockingbird Valley, Riverwood, Bellewood, Lyndon, Glenview, ect..
@@JUSAGUYNKY I've seen my fair share of pan handlers near Indian Hills (by the Meijers) & by the Summit. Yeah, I get that they probably only come in the nicer neighborhoods to beg & leave when they finish but still.
wow thats crazy there! louisville has become a hateful bitter place tho. wasnt always like that. all the somolians, bosnians, cubans and other countries came there because they were welcoming.
I was born and raised in the west end!! Definitely not what it was when I was growing up.. I moved about 20 minutes to a small town in Indiana if I could get away from this region entirely. But my roots will always be in the hood
Lifelong Louisvillian. I like your video, but most of this violence is more recent. Grew up in the South End In the 80s and 90s, a few blocks from Americana Apartments. Worked 3rd shift at the Super America down the street. There was some trouble back then (robberies, hand to hand violence) but there were very few murders. In the 80s and 90s me and my friends roamed the whole area freely. From Southside Drive to New Cut all the way to Hazelwood and Berry/7th Street with no issues. When I was in high school I had friends that deep in Portland, and I could take the bus down there with no problems. The murder rate has gone sky high just in the last few years. And it's all over the city. There's no "safe' part of town now. But I live in Germantown, which people think is dangerous now. And I've never had trouble. I never had trouble in south end (where my parents still live), in Berry, on 8th Street. The desperation of the COVID pandemic caused the rise in crime.
This makes me so sad, I lived in Old Louisville in the 70’s. I lived on Belgravia Court. Happiest days of my life. I was a waitress at Masterson’s Food and Drink, was on South 3rd not far from University, I met him Muhammad Ali when I worked there when he came in it was 1977, he was so nice to all of us, we got his autograph How is Old Louisville now? I always wanted to come back to visit. It sounds so run down now, makes me just sad.
Yo that's cap I live in Louisville and that's bull because we are not in the top 20 or the top 10 we are actually in the top 30s so mind your own business and and we don't have that many strip clubs. So stop lying and leave my City.
This my city born & raised the 502 in my name is our area code, Louisville was once a layed back city & I grew up in the 80s & 90s & at the age of 42 I remember how much fun we had as kids/teenagers but now it's a war zone on our streets I got shot in"01" but I say in "03" is when the bodies started dropping like everyday, it's really sad now I really wish our city would go back to the way it once was but that's wishful thinking...🤦🏾♂️
I’ve been in the south side my whole life and never once been robbed. Crime in the south isn’t random for the most part. Random people aren’t getting robbed or car jacked by other random people. It’s people shooting each other over money or drugs or whatever.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you’re not from around here, kid. “You’ll get robbed if you walk around here”. If you’re walking the streets, you’re LITERALLY broke. Fuck out of here.
Grew up in the Auburndale Iroquois Area of southend Louisville right off Southside Drive there was definitely a lot going on in that area where I grew up… Down the street we had Hunt club (legacy) apartments and royal gardens apartments… but then right up the street we had Park Ridge Scottsdale candlelight and Kenwood which were all nice middle-class neighborhoods… The city is really broken down into so many different sections… You could have a dangerous hood right down the street from a nice Upper-class looking neighborhood
Louisville, Kentucky has its fair share of struggling neighborhoods. Here's a look at some of the factors that contribute to urban blight and some possible solutions for revitalization: Factors Contributing to Urban Blight * Poverty and lack of economic opportunity * High crime rates * Abandoned buildings and vacant lots * Deteriorating infrastructure Revitalization Strategies * Community Development Initiatives: Partner with residents to improve their neighborhoods through job training, mentorship programs, and beautification projects. * Economic Development: Attract businesses and create jobs by offering tax breaks and other incentives. * Improved Housing: Provide affordable housing options and invest in improving existing housing stock. * Public Safety: Increase police presence and implement crime prevention programs.

To people saying these areas are not bad: the numbers speak differently. If you tolerate this way of life you have low standards of living. Also the idea about "don't start nothing won't be nothing" is selfish af because you're OK with tolerating your fellow humans living shitty lives. But as long as you gets money everything is good right? This is why people can't take the hood seriously or get behind this ghetto mindset. Expect more from yourself than living in a dump
Well 💯 for doing a blog on are city but it was a some few False information that was in this video and the Brianna Taylor situation did not happen in the east end smh! I rather for you to get your information from somebody who is home grown that live in the ville or somebody who is from down the way that is going to give to you raw with facts! This shit is crazy lol you really should just be speaking on all hoods in the west and east and a few in the south and the same with newburg everthing else is Irrelevant! Everybody knows the top 10 is funny as hell!
Jtown here.... we're still nuts & rough, in case anyone actually didn't know. In fact, it just snowed and everyone is out here driving into everyone else without caring at all. This cop is just walking car to car getting insurance info. Anyway...Our cars get broke into, my old apt got broken into and my panties stolen (but they left 2 bucks for using my toilet which was thoughtful I guess), bad domestic violence, but no one complains really. At least we know each other and our own craziness.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS lol yep. It is rougher than when we were growing up by far. And teenagers DO break into our cars and weirdos do break into apartments. I called the police and they were just like "yeah, that's common" -_- SOMEONE STOLE MY UNDERWEAR, SIR. weirdos are everywhere, beware.....
@@TabithaStabitha Lol I haven’t lived in Louisville since 2020 but I can’t imagine Jtown went that downhill. I heard car/home break ins, etc in east end/jtown area went up but I’m sure it’s chill there compared to places on this list.
It is getting bad all over. I live in Camp Taylor and it is getting bad here. I have lived in different areas in this town... Including downtown in Old Louisville. It is better across the river in Southern Indiana... This whole damn town is going to Hell in a Hand basket. The problems here start with the damned politicians. When I was in 8th grade I was bused to Louisville's West end down around 42nd Street in Duvalle Middle school... Right in the middle of the two worst projects areas right between Southwick and Kotter Homes. This whole town sucks.
I've lived in every part of Louisville ky eastend westend southend Newburgh Portland shively lost countless family friends my only brother all to gun violence Louisville is a dangerous place when you play dangerous games other than that it is a great city that you can thrive in.
Portland, when I was growing up, was always known to be ran down and poor, whites. Shively has absolutely gotten much worse. Louisville, over all has been a great place to live and I have GREAT memories. Gangs have grown, which contributes to gun violence rise.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I've visited multiple cities, one wouldn't survive ANY PLACE ELSE!!!! Most cities have worsened, that us world wide. I know, a large amount of people/families, who have moved from to, and know they are absolutely better off. Moreover, to each his own.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS @SOUTHERN LIFE do you still live here if not why would you feel unsafe still Ive lived all over Louisville born an raised and really if you mind your business an stay to yourself ive never haved an issue and ive lived at least 5 neighborhoods you listed
west of smoketown between Old Louisville and downtown is probably the worst area I've had more than one gun pointed at me. although they did tear down the projects over there but the old folks home is still right down the street so you know about that
I didn’t watch the video yet but I’m asking straight up how do ppl in Louiseville act towards ppl who are from another state, a state like New York, NYC to be exact? Our accent is different and maybe the way we carry ourselves. Would they be able to single us out?
@@wayneskullyperry9731 I was worried about my son going out there. He’s 23 but haven’t been no where not even too much in NYC so I was a bit nervous for him to travel all the way out there. Especially as a young black man. I had all kind of negative things going through my mind. His friend was white also and although it’s pretty normal for us to mix out here in NYC I feel like them other states be on that racial shit. I was worried how he would be treated police and everything.
Half the neighborhoods he mentioned are not as dangerous as the guy said and near UofL campus. I lived in the Taylor berry neighborhood for a year and felt safe for the most part. Maybe not the best places to live but not a “guaranteed way to get robbed” like this guy says.
bro smoketown is crazy😭😭 i was at the gas station rq to look at my phone and i hear mfs going cash app me or die! bro i was crying laighing as i peeled out 😭😭😭 them homless are craaazyyy down here bro. i was like why nobody at this gas station😭😭😭 maybe thats why
Some truth, some exaggeration. Grandmother lived in Newburg. Not a peep of action other than teen fights. I used to walk on Taylor Blvd when Tarc dropped me off every morning and evening Not a peep of action. Westend is many things. Nothing ever happens in my cousins neighborhood or in the street where my friend has church. Victory Park got wild, Preston and Breakinridge I stay away from, but many areas even in the West and Southend are fine unless you got beef. Car break ins are a problem though. Don’t leave your Kia alone trust me. I wasn’t feeling the generalization of this video though, plenty of good respectful people have come from some of those hoods.
I lived in Georgetown place for 15 years I’ve walked over dead bodies to get out of my apartment shit was awful been jumped it’s gotten bad in Louisville
Nothing happens to you in Louisville unless you're involved in something. Elderly rich people can be seen biking through every "bad" neighborhood he named and they're all currently being gentrified. 😂
What you say is mostly true, but you don't want to get caught in "crossfire" (can & DOES happen!).
Thank you‼️ es man don't know wat he's talking about
He really doesn’t. I’m tired of people making these videos shitting on our cities. Its white folks riding bikes and walking dogs all throughout the east.
You don’t watch the news very often
Yeah right😂 I’ve lived in Louisville my entire life… I know different…
I went through most of these “bad neighborhoods” earlier and nothing seemed to be really bad..not dangerous unless you get yourself in that situation
Bro I work for the railroad and we're never bothered. We're constantly in the hood and all sorts of BAD spots.
I think you are way hyping up how dangerous Newburg and Taylor/Berry areas are... I have spent a decent amount of time in both of them and have never had any problems...

This list is all f&@k up! If you are using this as a point of reference for research and or the history of Louisville please don’t. All of the areas he speaks of are bad but his information is inaccurate.
Shepherd Square, not Clarksdale is exactly where "SmokeTown" & the famous "Ali Boxing Gloves" statue are actually located @ in the East End of the City.
You forgot about the infamous south wick and cotter homes are you really from Louisville
I've been in Louisville my whole life and it is worse than it has ever been don't move to Kentucky if you're looking for a safe place to live because you won't find it here even vacationers for being robbed everyday I wouldn't even come to this place for a vacation it's not worth it
Brianna Taylor Incident did not happen in eastern L’ville. It happened in south western part of Jefferson County (off St. Andrews Church Rd, Doss High School) Just like a 10min walk from where I grew up. We just called that area Fordhaven. We used to get weed from that area growing up there in the 90s lol
The only thing that separated my neighborhood and Fordhaven was the L’ville southwest YMCA
Dope haven lol
Right! On Springfield. I used to live there.
Is Doss high School in a ghetto area?
I think you mean Breonna
@@TRex595no sir
Your segment on "Southside" (along with your video early on of Arling Ave) is right near where my sister-in-law moved a couple of years ago so she could sell her nice home in Clifton and have a place mortgage-free and retire. So far, she's been ok, but she NEVER goes out at night. Lots of police sirens, too. Interesting video. Some incorrect info (Breonna Taylor shooting location), but mostly "spot on".
So the East side is safe if I wanted to move there? How about Rolling Hills? Thanks
the extreme NE corner of Louisville is the best. there are cubans in the South cetral near newburg but that areas going to crap quickly. stay far east
Middletown is terrific but its also very expensive.
I'm trying to figure out why East Saint Catherine by the park wasn't mentioned either they were shooting every single day
I lived all over louisville ky , I went to school there , when you are a kid and you live in a bad place , you don't realize it ,
you are so right
Lived there in the mid 70s and even then many of these places were dangerous back then. Will you be doing Lakeland-Winter haven, Florida?
We have done videos in lakeland in the last few months and winter haven too see those
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Yeah I'm watching them now, Thanks! I love Winter Haven!
Parts of my family's lived in Portland way back in the day.
Whats crazy is 10 years ago it wasnt really like this. Especially newburg, theres more gangs here now and my friend actually had someone start shooting at his car while he was on the watterson for no particular reason.
Pray for my City, I from UpEast Shelby Park, Smoke Town, Phoenix Hill,. Old Louisville, German Town, Fort Hill, East Market District...
You clearly don’t know what your talking about 😂
I live 30 minutes away. I refuse to go to downtown Louisville now. Can’t do it. I value my life and safety.
I live in smokerown. It's not in the east end, not even close. It's more downtown.
I lived on the same block as Muhammad Ali's childhood home and the surrounding area of the west end until 1993 then my family moved to the south end for one year and then in the northeast part of the county and you are right the crime has been worse since then.
There is no way he is from Louisville, some of the views are not even from areas he's speaking on especially the Shawnee area, at least nothing i've seen in the area as l am born and raised and live in that area of town. Totally inaccurate and purposely edited and narrated to make the west end of Louisville look bad. While true Louisville has it's rough, dangerous and seedy area's this is true of all cities across America especially in 2022 crime and evil darkness is all across the US even in the subberbs all the way down to small rural country towns truth be told. You can go to any city or town and find all the bad seedy parts of it edit it, narrate and piece it together and make it look horrible and threatening to anyone who doesn't know the difference. Yes even the city or town you live in too wherever you may be can be painted that way. No one is exempt from crime and mayhem in this dangerous day and age and if one thinks so they are completely delusional and without discernment. Monsters and demons are everywhere now even in some of you all's very own neighborhoods and homes that you live in may be a boogeyman. No matter how posh and beautiful your surroundings may be there will be danger and evil that surrounds you rather you choose to see it or not.
Lew-Evil is and has always been a rough one...
I mived away in 2004 but swer i loved growing up there i lived right by arcade projects went to frayser i lived in Iroquois projects lived on 18th 21st 30th n duncan i ki ed in German town southern pkwy eastern pkwy. Loved everywhere loved my neighbors yeah we faught everyday when little some as teens and couple times as adults but always have each others back always ❤and support my neighborhood cant belive its so different now looks the same just sounds different
I'm in the Middletown area way out east by the Gene Snyder, its nice, but there is increasing violence and car jackings.
Wow that area used to be so nice, is st matthews still good or has that gone to crap too?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Saint Mathews, Middletown, and Clifton are all pretty good. My point is that random crime can happen anywhere. Where we are, it good, better than Bethlehem PA and Saint Louis where we were previously.
@@jayholiday256 Bethlehem, Pa isn't as bad as, Newark, NJ. Where I live...!! 😎
@@jayholiday256 Meh, more & more crime in Saint Matthews made me move out of the area. Nothing violent for the most part but a lot of thefts & break-ins. Having a methadone clinic down the road didn't help things.
Louisville is a a mess. According to friends who live there, there are few safe neighbourhoods left in 2022.
Your talking $500,000 and up and you still got homeless people a block away
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you are NOT going to find homeless people anywhere near Propect, Anchorage, Indian Hills, Mockingbird Valley, Riverwood, Bellewood, Lyndon, Glenview, ect..
@@JUSAGUYNKY i was in some really nice areas on the east end and there were plenty i guess i never really venture into the suburbs that far
Well that sure is assuring for me who’s going soon lol
@@JUSAGUYNKY I've seen my fair share of pan handlers near Indian Hills (by the Meijers) & by the Summit. Yeah, I get that they probably only come in the nicer neighborhoods to beg & leave when they finish but still.
I think I have lived in every neighborhood you name. Originally from the Dirty I‼️ 🙌🏾💯
wow thats crazy there! louisville has become a hateful bitter place tho. wasnt always like that. all the somolians, bosnians, cubans and other countries came there because they were welcoming.
Lol I’m in Danville Kentucky where is the weed at

@@eddiejackson9391 I wouldn't know anything like that 😉 but it was a great laugh 🤣
Sheppard Square is where the Ali statue located.
Yeah I’m not gone lie I’m born and raised in Louisville the west end to be exact this list not accurate on a 1-10 scale!
How the hell did this happen within a. Few years wtf, right after most of my family passed. Fast decline makes no sense the speed of it !!
I was born and raised in the west end!! Definitely not what it was when I was growing up.. I moved about 20 minutes to a small town in Indiana if I could get away from this region entirely. But my roots will always be in the hood
Do they treat u had for being different? Small towns are brutal people
Bro u bussed from the south to the west for school I gotta no u if ur bus stop was In Americana I went to maupin elementary I had to do the same thing
Breonnas murder didn't happen in the east it was the south
Lifelong Louisvillian. I like your video, but most of this violence is more recent. Grew up in the South End In the 80s and 90s, a few blocks from Americana Apartments. Worked 3rd shift at the Super America down the street. There was some trouble back then (robberies, hand to hand violence) but there were very few murders. In the 80s and 90s me and my friends roamed the whole area freely. From Southside Drive to New Cut all the way to Hazelwood and Berry/7th Street with no issues. When I was in high school I had friends that deep in Portland, and I could take the bus down there with no problems. The murder rate has gone sky high just in the last few years. And it's all over the city. There's no "safe' part of town now. But I live in Germantown, which people think is dangerous now. And I've never had trouble. I never had trouble in south end (where my parents still live), in Berry, on 8th Street. The desperation of the COVID pandemic caused the rise in crime.
Ok, the one thing that's correct is that the neighborhood around Churchill Downs is pretty fucked up.
This makes me so sad, I lived in Old Louisville in the 70’s. I lived on Belgravia Court. Happiest days of my life. I was a waitress at Masterson’s Food and Drink, was on South 3rd not far from University, I met him Muhammad Ali when I worked there when he came in it was 1977, he was so nice to all of us, we got his autograph How is Old Louisville now? I always wanted to come back to visit. It sounds so run down now, makes me just sad.
Number 3. I think he meant Shepard Square. Clarksdale was on Muhammad Ali blvd. I grew up in clarksdale for 13 years.
Yo that's cap I live in Louisville and that's bull because we are not in the top 20 or the top 10 we are actually in the top 30s so mind your own business and and we don't have that many strip clubs. So stop lying and leave my City.
Your city is weak
This my city born & raised the 502 in my name is our area code, Louisville was once a layed back city & I grew up in the 80s & 90s & at the age of 42 I remember how much fun we had as kids/teenagers but now it's a war zone on our streets I got shot in"01" but I say in "03" is when the bodies started dropping like everyday, it's really sad now I really wish our city would go back to the way it once was but that's wishful thinking...🤦🏾♂️
Its sad where we at now
Really??? 😔
I’ve been in the south side my whole life and never once been robbed. Crime in the south isn’t random for the most part. Random people aren’t getting robbed or car jacked by other random people. It’s people shooting each other over money or drugs or whatever.
Maybe you look broke
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS you’re not from around here, kid. “You’ll get robbed if you walk around here”. If you’re walking the streets, you’re LITERALLY broke. Fuck out of here.
My best friend lives in Louisville & will NOT go anywhere after the sun goes down
Shit you saying the biggest part of Louisville,Kentucky, is hood...everything you spoke on ,is a working class poor just trying to live
Grew up in the Auburndale Iroquois Area of southend Louisville right off Southside Drive there was definitely a lot going on in that area where I grew up… Down the street we had Hunt club (legacy) apartments and royal gardens apartments… but then right up the street we had Park Ridge Scottsdale candlelight and Kenwood which were all nice middle-class neighborhoods… The city is really broken down into so many different sections… You could have a dangerous hood right down the street from a nice Upper-class looking neighborhood
Louisville, Kentucky has its fair share of struggling neighborhoods. Here's a look at some of the factors that contribute to urban blight and some possible solutions for revitalization:
Factors Contributing to Urban Blight
* Poverty and lack of economic opportunity
* High crime rates
* Abandoned buildings and vacant lots
* Deteriorating infrastructure
Revitalization Strategies
* Community Development Initiatives: Partner with residents to improve their neighborhoods through job training, mentorship programs, and beautification projects.
* Economic Development: Attract businesses and create jobs by offering tax breaks and other incentives.
* Improved Housing: Provide affordable housing options and invest in improving existing housing stock.
* Public Safety: Increase police presence and implement crime prevention programs.

I live in Newburg. Theyve found 4 bodies within 1000 yards from my doorstep...
Louisville is like that
I hear don’t go to west side iam going for first time to Louisville Saturday but won’t be in the hood
To people saying these areas are not bad: the numbers speak differently. If you tolerate this way of life you have low standards of living. Also the idea about "don't start nothing won't be nothing" is selfish af because you're OK with tolerating your fellow humans living shitty lives. But as long as you gets money everything is good right? This is why people can't take the hood seriously or get behind this ghetto mindset. Expect more from yourself than living in a dump
I love Louisville
Best pizza in louusville is on berry, angilos pizza. Used to run them streets. Grew up in wilder park.
Well 💯 for doing a blog on are city but it was a some few False information that was in this video and the Brianna Taylor situation did not happen in the east end smh! I rather for you to get your information from somebody who is home grown that live in the ville or somebody who is from down the way that is going to give to you raw with facts! This shit is crazy lol you really should just be speaking on all hoods in the west and east and a few in the south and the same with newburg everthing else is Irrelevant! Everybody knows the top 10 is funny as hell!
I saw alot living in jacobs and got shot when i kived in taylor berry people from here jus call it the south
Talor berry is bad
Jtown here.... we're still nuts & rough, in case anyone actually didn't know.
In fact, it just snowed and everyone is out here driving into everyone else without caring at all. This cop is just walking car to car getting insurance info.
Anyway...Our cars get broke into, my old apt got broken into and my panties stolen (but they left 2 bucks for using my toilet which was thoughtful I guess), bad domestic violence, but no one complains really. At least we know each other and our own craziness.
Jefffersontown? I thought that was like a suburb
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS lol yep. It is rougher than when we were growing up by far. And teenagers DO break into our cars and weirdos do break into apartments. I called the police and they were just like "yeah, that's common" -_- SOMEONE STOLE MY UNDERWEAR, SIR. weirdos are everywhere, beware.....
J Town Cops are the biggest assholes in the City.
@@TabithaStabitha Lol I haven’t lived in Louisville since 2020 but I can’t imagine Jtown went that downhill. I heard car/home break ins, etc in east end/jtown area went up but I’m sure it’s chill there compared to places on this list.
@@TabithaStabitha sorry that happened to ya though
I tried to told y’all it been trill down here mane
I'm from Shively. It is a shit hole. My name Charle
It is getting bad all over. I live in Camp Taylor and it is getting bad here. I have lived in different areas in this town... Including downtown in Old Louisville. It is better across the river in Southern Indiana... This whole damn town is going to Hell in a Hand basket. The problems here start with the damned politicians. When I was in 8th grade I was bused to Louisville's West end down around 42nd Street in Duvalle Middle school... Right in the middle of the two worst projects areas right between Southwick and Kotter Homes. This whole town sucks.
I've lived in every part of Louisville ky eastend westend southend Newburgh Portland shively lost countless family friends my only brother all to gun violence Louisville is a dangerous place when you play dangerous games other than that it is a great city that you can thrive in.
I used to be proud of LOU KY but its getting harder to like what its becoming. Lived in Southside went to school in west end
Newburg #2 ?!? Naaah. Park Hill & Russell absolutely
Portland, when I was growing up, was always known to be ran down and poor, whites. Shively has absolutely gotten much worse. Louisville, over all has been a great place to live and I have GREAT memories.
Gangs have grown, which contributes to gun violence rise.
Louisville is horrible i am from there and still feel unsafe. Dangerous city on par to be like memphis and detroit
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I've visited multiple cities, one wouldn't survive ANY PLACE ELSE!!!! Most cities have worsened, that us world wide. I know, a large amount of people/families, who have moved from to, and know they are absolutely better off. Moreover, to each his own.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS @SOUTHERN LIFE do you still live here if not why would you feel unsafe still Ive lived all over Louisville born an raised and really if you mind your business an stay to yourself ive never haved an issue and ive lived at least 5 neighborhoods you listed
west of smoketown between Old Louisville and downtown is probably the worst area I've had more than one gun pointed at me. although they did tear down the projects over there but the old folks home is still right down the street so you know about that
Your list isn’t necessarily wrong, but I feel like you are exaggerating just how bad/dangerous Louisville really is…
Depends what part of the city u in. The parts i had to live and do crap in are bad
My grandmother was murdered in Shively in 1985 in her truck. Terrible place. She just wanted a creamy whip that summer night. She was so sweet.
So sorry
Live in Louisville I pretty much be all over place, it doesn't seem that bad to me but hell I'm from Atlanta and ain't nothing like it ,
Americana learning center 😂 got my GED
I didn’t watch the video yet but I’m asking straight up how do ppl in Louiseville act towards ppl who are from another state, a state like New York, NYC to be exact? Our accent is different and maybe the way we carry ourselves. Would they be able to single us out?
They would for sure know you weren’t from around there but that’s no reason to mess with ya
Yes every state has a different style accent etc to where your able to single that person out but if you koo we koo if not then we not 🤷🏾♂️
@@wayneskullyperry9731 I was worried about my son going out there. He’s 23 but haven’t been no where not even too much in NYC so I was a bit nervous for him to travel all the way out there. Especially as a young black man. I had all kind of negative things going through my mind. His friend was white also and although it’s pretty normal for us to mix out here in NYC I feel like them other states be on that racial shit. I was worried how he would be treated police and everything.
@@wayneskullyperry9731 he came back safe and sound without incident. Thank the Lord 😊

I’m originally from newburg and it’s not the 2nd most dangerous part of Louisville!!!! That’s a damm lie
Your in denial its bad now days
Lively Shively all the way up
Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves are in Smoketown not Clarksdale.
Can you do worst neighborhoods in Miami next?
Half the neighborhoods he mentioned are not as dangerous as the guy said and near UofL campus. I lived in the Taylor berry neighborhood for a year and felt safe for the most part. Maybe not the best places to live but not a “guaranteed way to get robbed” like this guy says.
If you broke than no one care to rob u
How is the California neighborhood?
@@GodisAgapelove4172 gangland - many crip sets

Some truth, some exaggeration. Grandmother lived in Newburg. Not a peep of action other than teen fights. I used to walk on Taylor Blvd when Tarc dropped me off every morning and evening Not a peep of action. Westend is many things. Nothing ever happens in my cousins neighborhood or in the street where my friend has church. Victory Park got wild, Preston and Breakinridge I stay away from, but many areas even in the West and Southend are fine unless you got beef. Car break ins are a problem though. Don’t leave your Kia alone trust me. I wasn’t feeling the generalization of this video though, plenty of good respectful people have come from some of those hoods.
RIP TREY5 newburg 💯❤️
the gang movement and drug trafficking done spreed too, J-Town bad Floyd and Clark County
They ain’t even go in Newburg… smh
Jacob's is where you can donate plasma for cash 😂
I lived in Georgetown place for 15 years I’ve walked over dead bodies to get out of my apartment shit was awful been jumped it’s gotten bad in Louisville
In Germantown?
