This is actually an archive. In a hundred years people will be able to watch these videos and see for themselves what the hoods looked like back in the day. They'll probably even be able to walk through them in the metaverse based on the footage and the help of A.I.
I lived in Tucson for a couple years. Great city. Monsoon season is the best season. It's a college town so parties are nightly. It's also full of drugs. And don't drink alcohol during a hot summer day.
Does he switch between different cameras or something? It's weird how some videos are great quality, while some others look like they were filmed in 2005. Lol
Back in the late 70s and early 80s I would fly into Tucson on business. Then would rent a car and make stops in the neighborhoods. At that time new construction hadn't yet started so "Old Tucson" still had that small western town feel. Your driving through the old neighborhoods have brought back many memories. BTW if someone is interested in what early Tucson was like, I highly recommend John Bourke's "On the Border with General Crook". It was written about the 1870s and 80s. A great piece about historical events.
i was just writing the other day about a brother well known in tucson in the 80s. he used to beg on the street corners. he didn't have any legs and he used a skateboard to push hisself around on. that ground is hot enough to fry a burger on, 140 minimum, 160, and he pushed around on bare hands for years when i was a kid. everyone who drove a car in this city then knew that guy. and the bald shirtless bodybuilder lawyer with the stache who rode his bike standing up down 5th street all day until dead. lodge brethren stay under a rock or get smashed.
In today's Tucson there is a little more development than at the time when Manolito, Buck and Billy Blue of the Great Chaparral were visiting. They no longer ride in carts and horses, now it's in cars.
I'm from Tucson. Some of these areas arent really that bad. at 0:55 is the barrio viejo or old district which has many renovated historic sonoran houses that are quite expensive. at 5:00 you can see the University of Arizona honors dorm.
Many years ago, being from LA, while making a sales call at a Phoenix business, I was told that only two types of people wore suit jackets in Phoenix in the summer: IRS Agents and Bill Collectors.
I live in Tucson and have lived here for 35 years and from the looks of it a lot of these areas you cruised through are actually considered the “nicer homes” one of them is actually a million dollar home you missed a lot of the run down parts of the city.
If you’re actually from a real reputable city, especially outside of Arizona, you’ll know what I mean when I tell you, there is no hoods in Tucson. Crappy meth’d out neighborhoods yeah, but no hoods. Same goes for phx
@@Trp510 any chunk of the city with impoverished people, plenty of liquor stores, payday loan spots, pawn shops, and section 8 that have heightened level of criminal activity. just because places like houston, la, and new york are more famous doesn't mean they have the monopoly on bad areas.
@@TheDDDeagle well in that case yes.when I say the hood like most people we’re talking about where it’s HARDCORE at . Nowhere in Arizona is hardcore , I moved to Tucson 8 years ago, I go to phx and hang out often . I can go anywhere I want in this state and 99 percent of the local people won’t do a damn thing or even share anything about it., unlike where I come from Richmond, California, as well as Oakland, California
@@Trp510 I think there are still groups of dangerous people. But i don't think you have to worry about wearing certain colors in a neighborhood is dangerous. At least in the "hardcore" cities they are easily identifiable.
South side is probably the roughest. Or Grant and Alvernon. But during the day in summer most of the homeless are hiding out in washes or under the bridges at the interstate
Let's get this straight ain't no ghetto in Tucson let alone Arizona if your city ain't in hood2hood then that tells u everything to know bout your city tucson is lovely
Wtf this is the worst depiction of “hoods” in Tucson !! Smh you cruised through different neighborhoods and cruised some alleys ! I’m going to have to make a video show the real hoods
@@joederocco9321 I just did and then I accidentally deleted my reply instead of sending it. lol Humid heat tends to be on the east coast during the summers. It's hot and muggy. It's almost like being in a steam room. It makes a person feel yucky and uncomfortable. There's hot moisture in the air and clothes can stick to you. Whereas dry heat is hot but it doesn't have the moisture which is typical of southwest deserts. It's more like a blow dryer minus the force of air. Personally, I prefer 120 degrees of dry heat over 90 degrees of humid heat. (not everyone would agree) I hope this sort of makes sense. If not, I tried:-)
I remember walking a lot of those very streets when I was a student at U of A. As someone born and raised in Chicago I know hoods, I never viewed anywhere in Tucson as legit hoods. There’s a difference between being a hood and just looking poor/meth& fentanyl ridden. Go more towards the foothills and it gets pretty nice tho.
@@ronsaunders7294 I wouldn’t say that there are plenty of Hispanic hoods in places like Cali(they have a few Asian hoods too)and more than a few in Chicago…
@@ronsaunders7294 Eh not really. In Chicago hispanic hoods like Pilsen, Little Village, and Humboldt Park civilians get robbed and caught in the crossfire all the time. If you’re trying to make a point that black people are inherently more dangerous than others that’s just not correct at all. All hoods no matter the race are dangerous as hell and there are plenty of victims who can swear to that. 😭
@@brown5252 These aren't even the good spots in Tucson, La Parilla Suiza, and El Gureo Canelo were a few high-quality gems that come to mind. The ghetto of Tucson is not that bad compared to phoenix. But 90% of Tucson feels/looks like Mesa, which is disappointing. Oddly enough It was near MCC where I felt the most unsafe, the hobos in that area are little scary. I lived right next to the Tucson mall on oracle, that part of town sucked, the mall was cool (if it still exists).
The southern half of Arizona is just an American version of Mexico. Those cartel guys be flossing with their limos though. I saw a stretch escalade in the hood in Phoenix the other day that was pretty nice. Cartel/motorcycle gangs/mafia and police have Arizona locked down as far as crime gangs go. Start a gang here and you only get so far before the higher ups notice you. Then you either agree to do all your business with them, or leave the area. Even the California Mexican mafia got kicked out by Arizona nuestra familia.
No ways. I'd take cloudy and rainy any day over weather in places like Tuscon or Vegas. In the winter it gets cooler, but the dry, sunny 100 + degree weather is awful.
Tucson: A city that peaked in the 90’s with several strip clubs. Tucson: A plain bagel or chicken sandwich with no seasoning. Tucson: The land of people with absolutely zero personality or even an accent to their speech. Tucson: Yeah, it’s better looking than Phoenix, but not by much and it still looks/feels like Mars. Tucson: Where people look like reptiles, 10 to 15 years older than they actually are and fail to use lotion.
The SUN is the top opp.

Thanks for the tour🎉
There is no one outside because of the heat
AZ is only livable in the colder months. Outside that window of time, it's unbearable.
oh, we're outside, we're just completely invisible. even if you stare directly at us, can't see us. try it. again. for decades.

People wait until the sun goes down to run errands, stores get crowded around 7 or 8pm.
That's what Siesta for.
Been living in Tucson now for 35 years. It's home.
Looks like northern Mexico, Mexicali.
Well it's the southwest. Same difference. This was northern Mexico.
@@Humble-iq5ue Yup. All modern US states below Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Oklahoma belonged to Mexico at some point.
California too, yes...??
It was Mexico until we stole it 😂

They were trying to kidnap female students last year. In the daytime, at that
Tucson not as hot as Phoenix
Thanks to their higher elevation

I miss Nogales and Tucson
Your videos capture the seamy side of life. I recommend them to my friends.
great refreshing videos thanks...all the good people
Too hot for gangs to hang out in Tucson. lol
Hot outside = zero crime
HA, If only.
Looks like a very decent place to live. Everybody's shit is clean. Even the tiny/studio homes & da 'partments.
Yeah for sure but man, There are some places that are straight up filth dawg
And he went through some nice areas
Hope you got good A/C Charlie, my brother lives in Tempe, it’s 116 degrees there right now. 🥵
Sheesh!
The dessert traps
Some of the houses filmed in this aren’t in the hood. I don’t understand this obsession with being ghetto.
YES MY SON IS THERE ON A BUSINESS TRIP AND HE TOLD ME IT'S 🔥🥵IN ARIZONA!! THANKS FOR SHARING CHARLIEBO313 👍🏼😊

Come out to the San Fernando Valley 818 next time you’re in CA Charlie
He been there recent dude. Ive seen the vid
@@Ellis_B he hasn’t yet
Thank you so much for your work CharlieBo313, big fan, are you armed when you do your videos?
Go out on Valencia, Irvington to mission 6th and Ajo at the car wash at night.
Dramatic video tour of the Tuscon slums, ghettos, hoods ! This ain't The Bronx, this is the scary Tuscon hoods, no go areas at night !

Does CharlieBo313 ever read and comment on his comments?
I've seen him reply to a few, but rarely.
That crackling cabin noise is really awful.
Gangs have mellowed out over the past 24 years. All the dealers are not too open about it. Lotta dope fiends 4sure.
At the time I lived there before inflation; they had the best grocery shopping for cheap. The restaurants as well.

It is aint none but drugs and crime just like every other hood
Is Arizona hotter than Texas or about the same?
Its more humid here but its about the same temperature yfm
I fw my texas ngas tho ❤💚🖤
Northern Arizona has high elevation 7,000+ ft., Forrest, lakes, lots of snow, etc. Southern AZ definitely has hotter temps than Texas though.

Come on now bro you making tucson look dead asf should filmed it in the 90's when shit was real...
Tooooooooooo hottttttttttttttt
thanks for rolling by our lovely neighborhoods in the 520 Charlie 🔥🏜️🌵🔥🔥
Doesn't look that bad
Tucson is not hood 😂😂😂 first off it’s nothing but a bunch of scare Ninjas there 😂😂😂 this was a waste of your film but keep pushing 😂😂
The eastside is much worse. Lots of homeless and drug addicts.
