I used to live right by that Family Dollar. I'm as white as a sheet of paper. I never felt even remotely uncomfortable in that neighborhood. Super friendly. Maybe not the richest part of Memphis but it never felt dangerous. I miss it there.
I'm black and when I lived in Memphis i was petrified. The nightly news was awful. Filled with drive by shootings, rapings and robberies and murders. Every single night. Memphis is awful. You are also an anomaly. A white guy in that neighborhood in Memphis? C'mon now... I know better than to believe you. Please continue to be careful.
Memphis is a shithole. Plenty of nice folks here, white, black, hispanic, or other, and the place is still just a shithole. Doesn't matter where you go, or to what city you move; some folks just fuck it all up for everyone. It happens, to some degree, everywhere in the country. Unfortunately for Memphis, there is a massive population of garbage, fuckwit, morons that would rather rape, rob, and murder than pursue a meaningful life in literally anything that means any kind of work or effort. Misguided youth this and bad parenting that. Nobody has found a solution in the 20 years I have been listening to the bullshit the news puts out. Some days it sounds like a bunch of bullshit and you try to have faith in your city, and other days someone gets shot 300 feet from where you work. Just live your life and leave other people alone, fuck.
I guess you didn't have the nerve to drive on the south side or around the projects east of downtown Foote homes, or Orange Mound, Westwood, Frayser or Whitehaven.
I thought they tore down foot homes? But any other hood in the south woulda made your point. Riverside. Castallia. The mound. Mitchell heights. He must be from Klondike or he's from Germantown n that's where he buys his dope from so that's where he feels somewhat comfortable
Damnnnn how did I miss this. Come back to Memphis soon there's so much more to see! I spend most my of time riding around here. You're the man, keep it up and be safe.
Memphis got lots of bad hoods everybody say theirs is the worst, I talked with someone at a laundromat who lives there and they told me this was one of the worst. From what I can see it looks like one of the worst.

If any locals read this: please come downtown if you haven’t been for a long time. The art work and restaurants and all that they have done down Main Street is fabulous....come take a stroll with the family. The trolleys are back up and running, and they built a pedestrian bridge across I-55 Take a stroll down by the river, Bass pro Shop is almost like a zoo. Wait, May is next week...hope to see y’all there 🤗
I go to the Main Street arts district ALL THE TIME!!!!! The whole downtown area is very nice!! And their building a lot of new restaurants,shops,hotels etc...
And they tile EVERYTHING in Spain... even benches, but the tile work can be not that great lol. I visited Andalusia (Malaga, Almunecar, Granada,, and Sevilla) years ago and it's something I will never forget. The most beautiful places I have ever been to, especially Sevilla. But one thing I noticed is that every backyard had a garden of potted plants and flowers, because the ground was either tile or stone. The countryside was nothing but olive orchards and all I could smell was olive oil haha Amazing place though, can't wait to go back.
It's not what the houses look like but who is in them. Camden looks way worse, because no yards and everything is crowded but parts of Memphis are every bit as bad, or worse. Once you get out of the Eastern cities, there is a lot of space. Parts of Houston, Flint , Jackson, Memphis are downright country looking, but the natives are a complete trainwreck.

Memphis is not at a perpetual nadir. The city has slightly more class than it's critics realise. A converse example might be a TX city which seems nicer than a southern city at first but is really only more "vanilla". If Memphis were acultural non-entity (and yes, real musicians like Elvis and Johnny Cash, and not Austin's overrated bullshit music festivals.), it wouldn't be home to so many famous musicians (and while MEmphis may not be as culturally important as New Orleans, it still has done a little more for music than an uncultured city would.) Memphis may rightfully be held a some sort of 2nd rate New Orleans, but that's not entirely a bad thing. The biggest myth about Memphis is that it lacks culture. I'm not saying Memphis isn't a mess, it's just that there are plenty of other American cities which are rude and lack culture, but a lot of people don't seem to realise it because Americans are fucking boring.
2:17 my boy was there he got shot in the head . that lil area i know well and is has been a warzone a few people been killed in broad daylight. RIP Mane!!!
Jake Nothanks I used to live in nutbush. Two blocks from the national cemetery. It wasn't bad then but this was in the early 80s. I wouldn't want to live there now!
Mane this ain't no bad hood, you should have went to Hollywood, Douglass,Smoky City, New Chicago, Scutterfield and 7th Street.....those are REAL DANGEROUS HOODS!!!!!
I was in Memphis a few months ago, April 2018, and couldn't believe how many businesses had signs on the door requesting two things: 1) Pull your pants up and 2) Don't smell of marijuana.
I believe that last street he turned on off volentine was Olympic....one of my aunties lived on that street for years and we visited her often. It wasnt too bad but my parents car was stolen from her yard once while they were out of town. I always enjoyed going to memphis (from Arkansas) to visit my auntie

Matt... Hunni picking up after yourself has absolutely nothing to do with social or economic status. Being trifling comes in all races, colors, creeds, ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, religious groups. It does not discriminate against sex, sexual preference, education level, income level and/or tax bracket. It doesn't care if u come from a 2parent home or a no parent home, it doesn't care if u grew up in the hood or in a multi-million dollar mansion, it doesn't care if you're a convicted felon or if you've never gotten so much as a traffic ticket, it doesn't care if you're the nicest kindest sweetest most giving person on the planet, or if you're the meanest stingiest most selfish demon who ever walked the earth... Trifling is trifling no matter who u are or where u come from. If nobody ever showed/taught u any better then u won't know any better. Or some people were taught better but simply do not care about the environment around them. U coulda lived in a mansion out in southwind all your life and still keep your house and your property nasty as hell. In contrast, u coulda lived in the worst projects in the city all of your life and keep your house and the outside area around your project immaculate. It doesn't matter where I live I cannot function in a lot of chaos n filth. My brain just won't work properly with shit everywhere. But that probably stems from me growing up around an entire family of hoarders. I'm slick OCD n I believe everything has its place and should be put in its place in a certain way. It's called ORDER. Without it I fall apart and have a literal mental breakdown. I honestly cannot think n have no idea what to do one step after the other. However, there is a huge difference between being junky n messy and being nasty n dirty. I'm like 117 months pregnant right now so I have to pick my battles with the house chores depending on how my body feels at the time, but under normal circumstances I can't stand things out of place. Right now I sometimes have to tolerate a few things out of place until I can get the energy and the strength to put them where they go, but filthy and nasty I simply will not tolerate. I have considered paying someone to do it but they probably won't do it like I would, therefore it's not really clean so I have to depend upon myself to get the real thorough cleaning that matters done. I also have roommates who aren't nearly as clean as I would like them to be. They're not so much messy, thank God. But because I'm afraid of germs and terrified of getting sick with some shit I can't get rid of with a dose pack or shot of penicillin, neat just isn't good enough, especially with my lupus and a new baby coming into the house via C-section, which is major surgery.....OMG 😷😥😵😨👎👎👎 I MIGHT GET AN INFECTION JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THAT COULD GO WRONG. Bottom line if you're a clean person that will be who u are no matter where u live. If you're not a clean person who is used to a clean environment u won't notice the dirt n filth around u bc it doesn't bother u
That was pretty cute. That's not even the soft EDGE of any hood here in Memphis! Go through the Mound, South Third and Weaver, really anywhere in Whitehaven, Fraser, Raleigh, shit, I could keep going. Cute video!
Memphis used to have a pretty bad rep for crimes 'til mid 2000s, but it's been improving over the years. Look up the statistics. It's not the place I'd ever consider myself living there though.
Uhhhhh which statistics report have u been reading in the last couple years? Memphis is like in the top 5 of the highest murder rate in the nation, following only my hometown Detroit and Chicago. And as long as I've been here the crime and murder rates have always been pretty high up on the list n I've been here since early 2000. I know this because I remember thinking every year "oh great we jumped out of the skillet right into a pot of boiling water". I used to ask my mom what was the point of us leaving our familiar home where all my friends were to come to this God forsaken place, this is not better. In fact, I learned way more illegal activity n got into way more trouble my first year here than I had in all my years in Detroit combined. I just knew more people there. N boy did I get into some shit when I came down south. Me or my life have never been the same since. I learned things that I can never forget. I've seen things that I can never unsee. Whatever little bit of innocence I may have had when I got here, Memphis immediately robbed me of that.
thats klondike north memphis i will always love where am from it gave me the skills if i can make it there i can make it anywhere i am north memphis KLD4LIFE
I went to klondike when I was in elementary school and had the best time there. I lived around the corner and whenever I near there I be like I'm in my good again.😂good times
Charlie, how do you know which neighborhoods to drive through? Do you use google maps before the drive to know exactly where's the dirtiest and roughest parts? I've been to Memphis a few times and I've driven through much worse neighborhoods than this, but this was kinda hood though.
I don't have time to use google maps lol. I usually drive around and ask people who live there. I have researched some places to see what was considered the worst area.
CharlieBo313 lol I feel you. What if you started a blog where people give you the names of the roughest neighborhoods in the city you're gonna travel to?!
I lived in south Memphis on Patton and I lived on Kerr, I lived on 1st and Kansas and north Memphis I lived in Mitchell heights on Holmes road and I lived on Hollywood behind Yums Chinese restaurant, those was some hard days mane, now I’m up and doing better in Cordova in a nice house with them racks!!!
boma taumano if you really do live at Avalon and Jackson Ave you know there are big nice houses out there and also a lot of drug dealing on the next street. A lot of areas in Memphis are that way
This is why I left Memphis years ago, I've been all over this neighborhood they're showing it's not the worse, but looking back at Memphis it sure looks like a 3rd world country now
If you'd gone three more blocks on Jackson before turning, you would have drove right by the house I grew up in. Jackson Ave is definitely a division point between classes around there but the whole area has steadily gone to shit.
MAn I know all these areas, I use to live on Kney and went to Northside, video brings back memories, good and bad. Can't believe how downtown is so built but the rest of the city they said F it.
It still looks better than poor neighborhoods in third world countries. In fact, those houses are bigger than most in Europe. This is America baby. What we call poor, often isn't poor at all.
I use to live in both Memphis and Atlanta and yes I've been to Bankhead. Bankhead is bad. Some parts scary bad. But Memphis has some parts that will make your hair stand on end. Lots of poverty and very desperate people that will do any depraved act to make a dollar. And when I say they will do anything i do mean absolutely anything.
U hit it on the head I'm from Chi and i ain't seen shit til i moved to Memphis and rented in Frayser not knowing WTF I was in for. That shit ran us back to the Chi.
Eventually yes, but I can't say exactly when. i also want to go to Milwaukee, New Orleans, Atlanta, Birmingham and several others. The places I go are a combination of where work sends me and I go to places close by. At first I was going places at random and I could go where ever and whenever I wanted, but I had to pay for gas. Now with this job I go where they send me but they pay for gas. that's why I go to some of the same [places a lot. I'm in Virginia right now but I probably wont film anything here. I will get to those places and some west coast places eventually.
If somebody is waiting for the president to improve their lives it will never happen no matter who the president is, people have to do that themselves, and local politicians affect people daily lives more than the president. I live in Detroit and Obama actually gave Detroit millions in federal money to Detroit which the local politicians are being investigated for mispending, But what's even more amazing is that white people hate Obama so much there still blaming everything on him, why weren't they still Blaming Bush while Obama was in office ? And when does Trump start getting blamed, he's been in office for nearly a year now.
Willie Moore obama giving money to democrats who have screwed over their constituents (a vast majority of blacks) isn't as good natured as you're trying to make it sound. Most don't hate obama because he's black which is what you're trying to insinuate. They hate his bad policies and lack of good change.
Willie Moore Trump should be blamed for what? To be blamed you should have to have done something bad. Black unemployment is at a record low. I think that's something to brag about.
Trump isn't doing shit, but making sure his presidency benefits himself, friends, and family members in the end. I'm black and I live in Detroit in a black community. I have never heard anyone say things have improved for them or for the black community under Trump. Those numbers, if true don't tell the whole story. Those only include people who are unemployed and receive unemployment benefits. If your unemployed and you don't receive benefits you don't count. So how many blacks, or whites for that matter are out of work and not receiving any benefits. Obama actually made programs available for poor and minorities if they chose to take advantage of them, but that is all a president can do. If you choose to do nothing with your life Trump, Obama, or no one can help you.
Willie Moore you clearly have minimal understanding on how the government works. Regardless of the definition of unemployment, it has still undeniably improved. You don't see any improvement because you live in a democrat shithaven. You know what Detroit was in the 60s and you see what they've done to it. Jobs are being created in large numbers here and you really can't deny that. Manufacturing is coming back which can largely be attributed to trump.
Really, that's the worse you could do? A bus ride in February 1971 from the Memphis airport to the Navy training base at Millington was akin to trudging through downtown Berlin on V-E day in March 1945. I found it to be a big surprise, having lived in the NYC area amidst pre-gentrification era places like Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, Newark, etc. and had travelled up & down Highway 13 through poverty zones in rural Delaware, Maryland, Virginia ,and North Carolina, as well as less than attractive urban areas like Baltimore, D.C., Norfolk, et al. Nothing compared to the devastated ruins of Memphis, Tenn. Just amazing. I hope they have made some progress. Some day a quake on the New Madrid fault line could cause several hundred billion dollars or more in improvements there.
Richard Pehtown you must be from up north and was shocked at how the south looks in poverty a lot different from the north cuz Camden NJ looks way way worse than Memphis in scenery.
@@wilsongerard1077 Actually I lived until I was 15 (1966) in New Jersey, 17 miles from lower Manhattan. I made frequent trips to and from there to Sanford NC, Hampton and Norfolk VA. Maybe the area of Memphis I described has been razed but in Feb 1971 it was that bad. Camden? I think it was rated the poorest city in the USA. Not a lot of gentrification going on such as has taken place along the East bank of the Hudson from Staten Island to the Palisades and beyond. The "hoods" in this video don't look bad at all, but I don't know squat about present day Memphis. As is in NYC, you might be OK as long as you know what you are doing and don't look like a lost wanderer.
Richard Pehtown ok I see what you saying in 1971 that part of Memphis was torn up. Wow so during the booming stax era with the bar kays Otis Redding al green Carla Thomas all them artist repping Memphis Memphis was torn and yet those folks still flourished. So drugs and all that was back then? I’m too young to know
@@wilsongerard1077 I am not putting down Memphis per se, just one observation I happened to see by chance while passing through. As far as the Stax/Volt studio and its incredible host of talent and where they frequented, there are, as is evidenced in this video, there are many districts in the city with varying conditions. As far as drugs, I remember in the 1950's - early 1960's marijuana was whispered about, and heroin was deviled socially. Then there was the drinking alcohol, which when done in excess has led to ruin for too many folks. I have always liked very much the Stax/Volt music. I will research the conditions and happenings in Memphis as they relate to the area around their studios on McLemore street, I think Stax was located there in a repurposed theater. Will post here ASAP. Regards, RP

ALL of memphis is the hood! better be carry'n a stick r dat g19 wit 33's.
mr mojo risen German Town? You crazy. But past the police station it’s jackin season 24/7. Be like GTA 5 out there.
I'm poor AF too but you can still pickup after yourself even if your poor!
Matt So so true. poor excuse being poor. can still pick that shit up.
Matt... Hunni picking up after yourself has absolutely nothing to do with social or economic status. Being trifling comes in all races, colors, creeds, ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, religious groups. It does not discriminate against sex, sexual preference, education level, income level and/or tax bracket. It doesn't care if u come from a 2parent home or a no parent home, it doesn't care if u grew up in the hood or in a multi-million dollar mansion, it doesn't care if you're a convicted felon or if you've never gotten so much as a traffic ticket, it doesn't care if you're the nicest kindest sweetest most giving person on the planet, or if you're the meanest stingiest most selfish demon who ever walked the earth... Trifling is trifling no matter who u are or where u come from. If nobody ever showed/taught u any better then u won't know any better. Or some people were taught better but simply do not care about the environment around them. U coulda lived in a mansion out in southwind all your life and still keep your house and your property nasty as hell. In contrast, u coulda lived in the worst projects in the city all of your life and keep your house and the outside area around your project immaculate. It doesn't matter where I live I cannot function in a lot of chaos n filth. My brain just won't work properly with shit everywhere. But that probably stems from me growing up around an entire family of hoarders. I'm slick OCD n I believe everything has its place and should be put in its place in a certain way. It's called ORDER. Without it I fall apart and have a literal mental breakdown. I honestly cannot think n have no idea what to do one step after the other. However, there is a huge difference between being junky n messy and being nasty n dirty. I'm like 117 months pregnant right now so I have to pick my battles with the house chores depending on how my body feels at the time, but under normal circumstances I can't stand things out of place. Right now I sometimes have to tolerate a few things out of place until I can get the energy and the strength to put them where they go, but filthy and nasty I simply will not tolerate. I have considered paying someone to do it but they probably won't do it like I would, therefore it's not really clean so I have to depend upon myself to get the real thorough cleaning that matters done. I also have roommates who aren't nearly as clean as I would like them to be. They're not so much messy, thank God. But because I'm afraid of germs and terrified of getting sick with some shit I can't get rid of with a dose pack or shot of penicillin, neat just isn't good enough, especially with my lupus and a new baby coming into the house via C-section, which is major surgery.....OMG 😷😥😵😨👎👎👎 I MIGHT GET AN INFECTION JUST THINKING ABOUT ALL THAT COULD GO WRONG.
Bottom line if you're a clean person that will be who u are no matter where u live. If you're not a clean person who is used to a clean environment u won't notice the dirt n filth around u bc it doesn't bother u
John C so true. seems like these poor people do have a problem with neatness and clean. but I'm ok with everything else.
The arrow pointing to them killed me
لقد قتلك إذن انت ميت الان اين قبرك
You said you are killed so naw you are a dead man where your grave
That was pretty cute. That's not even the soft EDGE of any hood here in Memphis! Go through the Mound, South Third and Weaver, really anywhere in Whitehaven, Fraser, Raleigh, shit, I could keep going. Cute video!
I live right next to this neighborhood literally, klondike is 6 minutes from my old elementary school
Are this safety place😊
Memphis used to have a pretty bad rep for crimes 'til mid 2000s, but it's been improving over the years. Look up the statistics. It's not the place I'd ever consider myself living there though.
Young Jun Kwon I LOVE IT
pretty lit
American Man lol!
Uhhhhh which statistics report have u been reading in the last couple years? Memphis is like in the top 5 of the highest murder rate in the nation, following only my hometown Detroit and Chicago. And as long as I've been here the crime and murder rates have always been pretty high up on the list n I've been here since early 2000. I know this because I remember thinking every year "oh great we jumped out of the skillet right into a pot of boiling water". I used to ask my mom what was the point of us leaving our familiar home where all my friends were to come to this God forsaken place, this is not better. In fact, I learned way more illegal activity n got into way more trouble my first year here than I had in all my years in Detroit combined. I just knew more people there. N boy did I get into some shit when I came down south. Me or my life have never been the same since. I learned things that I can never forget. I've seen things that I can never unsee. Whatever little bit of innocence I may have had when I got here, Memphis immediately robbed me of that.
Where flowering peach at hickory hood ..that part of North Memphis been dry since the late 90's

I went to klondike when I was in elementary school and had the best time there. I lived around the corner and whenever I near there I be like I'm in my good again.😂good times
Charlie, how do you know which neighborhoods to drive through? Do you use google maps before the drive to know exactly where's the dirtiest and roughest parts? I've been to Memphis a few times and I've driven through much worse neighborhoods than this, but this was kinda hood though.
I don't have time to use google maps lol. I usually drive around and ask people who live there. I have researched some places to see what was considered the worst area.
CharlieBo313 lol I feel you. What if you started a blog where people give you the names of the roughest neighborhoods in the city you're gonna travel to?!
NOLA bitch I live in Memphis and the worst hoods you seen are top quality compared to orangemound
Dylan Duck You sound dumb af
Hell all you gotta do is watch the news .. whatever side had the most shootings that day is your victor for the day.
You wont like Memphis if you live paycheck to paycheck
You won't like living anywhere if you live paycheck to paycheck.
J Bobb I like easy money explain that my dude
This could be a really nice neighborhood if the right people moved in.
And who might the right people be?? The so called white people?
How you going to ride through Memphis and make a video and not play some Triple 6

More like the worst car on the worst streets in Memphis
I lived in south Memphis on Patton and I lived on Kerr, I lived on 1st and Kansas and north Memphis I lived in Mitchell heights on Holmes road and I lived on Hollywood behind Yums Chinese restaurant, those was some hard days mane, now I’m up and doing better in Cordova in a nice house with them racks!!!
I lived on Avalon and Jackson and trust me that's not the hood
boma taumano if you really do live at Avalon and Jackson Ave you know there are big nice houses out there and also a lot of drug dealing on the next street. A lot of areas in Memphis are that way
Doesn't look to bad during the day
SUGAR TO SHIT h
you are a true man but not legit because i have been in a ex. with shootings in memphis because i live there
Ya Boi Chip is the crime as bad as they say? Like gangs and stuff?
what do you think i meant by shooting? crip! and blood dont ever move here it is worst on north memphis if you want to live in east that is ok
People get killed daily in memphis
I'm from Memphis TN born and raised on G-Street aka Gowan Street right down the hill from Frayser High 🏫
This is why I left Memphis years ago, I've been all over this neighborhood they're showing it's not the worse, but looking back at Memphis it sure looks like a 3rd world country now
Memphis is......One Big Ghetto!!!
@ 4:31 - Craig... Lemmie borrow yo VCR, I need to dub a tape!
@ 6:35 - Fa real doe...
You were just in Klondike and thas it. What about Smokey City, Watkins and Brown, Douglass, Hollywood, 7th St., etc. etc. etc?
THE TITLE SHOULD SAY....THE SOUNDS OF BAD SHOCKS 😂😂😂😂WHILE RIDING THRU BEAUTIFUL MEMPHIS HOODS 😭😂😫😂
Go to Oakland, Ca
And L.A
I been riding down these same roads for years now. The exact same road. EXACT!
If you'd gone three more blocks on Jackson before turning, you would have drove right by the house I grew up in. Jackson Ave is definitely a division point between classes around there but the whole area has steadily gone to shit.
Memphis TN has been very good to some of us
Yup. Working and or school pays off. God bless the good people of Memphis who want to do better and have a good life.
SOUTH MEMPHIS FRFR
How safe is mud island? I'm interviewing a job at St Jude, and planning to live there if I move to Memphis.
Haha haha Mud Island is very very safe.
MAn I know all these areas, I use to live on Kney and went to Northside, video brings back memories, good and bad. Can't believe how downtown is so built but the rest of the city they said F it.
Evergreen and klondike are not worse doesn't even make the list
Weak nothing hard but Memphis pot holes
Come try the city n see how soft it is
song in the beginning?
That part of Jackson by the Family Dollar is not bad. I live right up the street from that Family Dollar and it is a quiet neighborhood
@BruhTV no it is not. I have no problems over here. I don't live in bad neighborhoods. Never have.
Y'all might not realize it but ... Collierville has some bad neighborhoods too ... South Street
U should've pulled up In Raleigh
Danny Jones yea I'd like to see him go to Raleigh
Amanda M yea we got hoods too lol timberlake the whole Raleigh Lagrange strip is a hood all them damn apartments.
Danny Jones I been to Raleigh once... Crazy experience lol
Amanda M yea shit can get real out here!
Amanda M I lived in the heart of Raleigh you just gotta keep your mouth shut and don't look like a target
It still looks better than poor neighborhoods in third world countries. In fact, those houses are bigger than most in Europe. This is America baby. What we call poor, often isn't poor at all.
First went to Memphis in 1988. Been back there loads and I live in the UK. Great place!!!
Raised in Memphis my opinion go to death valley WILD WILD WILLET'S South memphis
Yup
Voodoo.village
PLEASE COME TO BANKHEAD, ATLANTA!
WORST HOOD IN ATLANTA!
I use to live in both Memphis and Atlanta and yes I've been to Bankhead. Bankhead is bad. Some parts scary bad. But Memphis has some parts that will make your hair stand on end. Lots of poverty and very desperate people that will do any depraved act to make a dollar. And when I say they will do anything i do mean absolutely anything.
U hit it on the head I'm from Chi and i ain't seen shit til i moved to Memphis and rented in Frayser not knowing WTF I was in for. That shit ran us back to the Chi.
Tammy Bell Haha ha ha ha!!!!
Those Family Dollar are everywhere!
Charlie give me a reply, big homie. Do you plan to go to Minneapolis and St. Paul anytime?
Eventually yes, but I can't say exactly when. i also want to go to Milwaukee, New Orleans, Atlanta, Birmingham and several others. The places I go are a combination of where work sends me and I go to places close by. At first I was going places at random and I could go where ever and whenever I wanted, but I had to pay for gas. Now with this job I go where they send me but they pay for gas. that's why I go to some of the same [places a lot. I'm in Virginia right now but I probably wont film anything here. I will get to those places and some west coast places eventually.
I can help ya with Atlanta
rRondAa1967atl yeah humphries street and rockwell
How
Can somebody list all the things Obama did to improve the lives of these people ?
If somebody is waiting for the president to improve their lives it will never happen no matter who the president is, people have to do that themselves, and local politicians affect people daily lives more than the president. I live in Detroit and Obama actually gave Detroit millions in federal money to Detroit which the local politicians are being investigated for mispending, But what's even more amazing is that white people hate Obama so much there still blaming everything on him, why weren't they still Blaming Bush while Obama was in office ? And when does Trump start getting blamed, he's been in office for nearly a year now.
Willie Moore obama giving money to democrats who have screwed over their constituents (a vast majority of blacks) isn't as good natured as you're trying to make it sound. Most don't hate obama because he's black which is what you're trying to insinuate. They hate his bad policies and lack of good change.
Willie Moore Trump should be blamed for what? To be blamed you should have to have done something bad. Black unemployment is at a record low. I think that's something to brag about.
Trump isn't doing shit, but making sure his presidency benefits himself, friends, and family members in the end. I'm black and I live in Detroit in a black community. I have never heard anyone say things have improved for them or for the black community under Trump. Those numbers, if true don't tell the whole story. Those only include people who are unemployed and receive unemployment benefits. If your unemployed and you don't receive benefits you don't count. So how many blacks, or whites for that matter are out of work and not receiving any benefits. Obama actually made programs available for poor and minorities if they chose to take advantage of them, but that is all a president can do. If you choose to do nothing with your life Trump, Obama, or no one can help you.
Willie Moore you clearly have minimal understanding on how the government works. Regardless of the definition of unemployment, it has still undeniably improved. You don't see any improvement because you live in a democrat shithaven. You know what Detroit was in the 60s and you see what they've done to it. Jobs are being created in large numbers here and you really can't deny that. Manufacturing is coming back which can largely be attributed to trump.
Im from here , and it dont make a dam where you at round here north , south , east , west , if they want yo shi * they taken it .....
My aunt and uncle used to live around that area.
Really, that's the worse you could do?
A bus ride in February 1971 from the Memphis airport to the Navy training base at Millington was akin to trudging through downtown Berlin on V-E day in March 1945.
I found it to be a big surprise, having lived in the NYC area amidst pre-gentrification era places like Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, Newark, etc. and had travelled up & down Highway 13 through poverty zones in rural Delaware, Maryland, Virginia ,and North Carolina, as well as less than attractive urban areas like Baltimore, D.C., Norfolk, et al.
Nothing compared to the devastated ruins of Memphis, Tenn. Just amazing. I hope they have made some progress.
Some day a quake on the New Madrid fault line could cause several hundred billion dollars or more in improvements there.
Richard Pehtown you must be from up north and was shocked at how the south looks in poverty a lot different from the north cuz Camden NJ looks way way worse than Memphis in scenery.
@@wilsongerard1077 Actually I lived until I was 15 (1966) in New Jersey, 17 miles from lower Manhattan. I made frequent trips to and from there to Sanford NC, Hampton and Norfolk VA. Maybe the area of Memphis I described has been razed but in Feb 1971 it was that bad. Camden? I think it was rated the poorest city in the USA. Not a lot of gentrification going on such as has taken place along the East bank of the Hudson from Staten Island to the Palisades and beyond.
The "hoods" in this video don't look bad at all, but I don't know squat about present day Memphis. As is in NYC, you might be OK as long as you know what you are doing and don't look like a lost wanderer.
I meant the West bank of the Hudson.
Richard Pehtown ok I see what you saying in 1971 that part of Memphis was torn up. Wow so during the booming stax era with the bar kays Otis Redding al green Carla Thomas all them artist repping Memphis Memphis was torn and yet those folks still flourished. So drugs and all that was back then? I’m too young to know
@@wilsongerard1077 I am not putting down Memphis per se, just one observation I happened to see by chance while passing through.
As far as the Stax/Volt studio and its incredible host of talent and where they frequented, there are, as is evidenced in this video, there are many districts in the city with varying conditions.
As far as drugs, I remember in the 1950's - early 1960's marijuana was whispered about, and heroin was deviled socially. Then there was the drinking alcohol, which when done in excess has led to ruin for too many folks.
I have always liked very much the Stax/Volt music. I will research the conditions and happenings in Memphis as they relate to the area around their studios on McLemore street, I think Stax was located there in a repurposed theater.
Will post here ASAP.
