I'm born and raised from East Macon... I relocated to Cali for some years and live in Compton for a couple months... I felt alot safer in Compton than Macon... That should tell u something😕
I was born and raised in Macon too and these areas continue to experience years of neglect and lack of resource allocation as development has spread beyond North of Riverside Drive and Arkwright RD.
@@ontariocanada451 Obviously you haven't found yourself in the right neighborhood...not sure where you have been hanging out...if you want your life to end...got to the right neighborhood.
Wow....beyond Riverside? Hell, when i lived there Riverside was pretty much the beginning (or end lol) of town. I hope Macon and Atlanta never grow together in the future! One of the things i loved about Macon was the "small town" feel it had.
Im born and raised in macon. I still live in the hood. Lilly ave. You have to keep where u live looking clean and nice even if its in the hood. If we do our part, we can make this a better place to live. Oh yeah to my city council member bert bivins aint doing crap over here.!!!
@@LionofLight777 My friend's father lived there when he was younger also, but as he grew up it all got worse and he eventually had a guy try to rob him at gunpoint. Luckily, he was in his truck so he grabbed the guys arm and hit the gas.
This was a suggested video. And what a good one! I am proudly from Macon, Georgia and I still go there very often. Tindall Heights was where my single Mom of 5 held it all together. We didn't want for ANYTHING. Thanks for taking me back to where I learned to believe that I could do all things. 😎 Maconite to the core. And Hugs and Love to my fellow 478 Sisters and Brothers✌🙏.
Just moved here to Macon I hear about a lot of bad areas like I shouldn’t go in certain streets and stuff I live on the Northside ... and I don’t go looking for trouble I am a Afro American women so I have to hit up the hair stores and salons on that side though! I just moved from Augusta. They do need to do a lot of clean up the city is always building things on this side of town .. but one thing about US (black people) we never go to city meetings and demand that the building be cleaned and tore down or grass cut or the holes in the road fixed!! We gotta do better !!
We have to be honest with ourselves..most of us will only stand in line for the club and could care less about city meetings..quick question, why did you move to Macon?
worldpeace026 - My husband grew up in Macon when it was a nice place to live. He’s now 70. He was a cop there for about 20 years. We attend church there. We have relative there, but we built our home in the next county. Many people have moved to neighboring counties for better schools & to escape the crime of Macon.
Wow Charlie bo actually came to Macon!! I suggested this and it came true! You have now officially done two cities I've lived in. The other being Trenton NJ! Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.
I moved to Macon in 2016 and I lived in a apartment complex off Napier, big mistake. It's sad that our people don't care how they live roaches is a part of their life. It's a nasty experience to be around that kind of life. Macon is poor and run down. I moved away and said I would never live in the hood again. I got a house here which is so much better than before. But the abandoned houses make the area looks rundown. Black people we need to do better.
@@kentoryjam6096 Never mind, she's just named in the yearbook near someone in black face. My girlfriend did one of those annoying white lies that women do to sound more interesting.
I grew up in Macon. N. Macon actually. That is the area you want to live in case you ever move there. All cities big and small have hoods like this now or worse.
Oh man Unionville, my old stomping grounds(Albert Lane). Truly 😔😔 to see it gone down like this. Macon had so much pride in it city & yards. Praying for my home city
Yeah little richard gave his life to Jesus. So that's not him no more before he died he preached the gospel of JESUS before he died. Thank GOD that's what Macon Georgia need to wake up and turn back to Jesus. Then it won't be all this crime parents got to start first raising their children not just in our building that we call Church but give them the word of the living God let them be filled with the Holy Ghost and fire and when the children get big they won't grow up killing stealing and developing a gang. And all the fathers of Macon Georgia, it's time for you to take a stand for your children so they won't go astray, even if the parents not together how about your children they are innocent they are the ones that grow up and be this gang or end up in jail, or selling dope come on black men we I said we have to do better. So Macon Georgia mens while we talking about black lives matter what matter is our children. Let's save our youth and family.
It's crazy I live outside of Macon, have my whole life and as a teen I hung out all over Macon and these are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. You see so much bad stuff on the news about Macon but for the most part the people are minding their own business and just trying to get by.
Really you want to bash Macon and call out neighborhoods but you don’t say a word during your video. Get a life not everyone in these neighborhoods are bad and if you don’t like them stay out of them
Steph Gillis I don’t think that’s his intention his works is eye opening and should be especially for black folks all over America cuz the hood usually = black folks we can and got to & will do better

This is only Unionville and a very small part of South Macon. What about Houston Ave, Pleasant Hill, East Macon. Houston Ave is a like a mini strip mall in the hood lol, you just drive down that street just to look and see what’s going on
I'm originally from Macon, and I love it, however I'll never live there again. Killeen/ Fort Hood Tx. Is my home now. Pleasant Hill, East Macon is where I was raised. Such a wonderful childhood.
Born and raised in Macon currently stay on the northside, but from Unionville. Macon definitely has a lot of work but if people do their part by educating themselves and getting more involved in the community could be a better place.
LaTrina Hill gorgeous face you....you are spot on with your assessment a change is gonna come for Macon eventually Macon used to be a bustling place all the resources and focus has gone to the northside which is typically white since Ellis left
worldpeace026 when jack ellis left it seems so did the spirit and energy and people of Macon I say round 2011 and after a lot people left and the city died and all the political focus & resources went to the north side where the white folks mostly at think about that
@@KingFiy crap! I wanted to move back. If the spirit is gone, then its gone and alot of personality must have gone with it. Ill come visit first, because she has seen so many changes, she may not be the same lady at all. And that may break my heart.

@@King.MaidenHeaven not where I'm living. I'm living here NOW, and it ain't dead with all these people and cars I see. And neighborhoods filled with people, and all the schools filled a whole bunch of kids. That's not dead is it
My dad grew up poor in Macon in the 50's and he'll drive me around and show me a bunch of empty lots where he used to live. None of the houses he lived in are still standing and he moved a dozen times.
Its a beautiful city. But then Lizella is a beautiful area too. Ive seen way worse hoods. Try west Atlanta or east Birmingham. East St. Louis....the eastbound freeway to St. Louis almost guarantees a stop off in East St. Louis! Anyone out there know what i mean about that freeway?
Born and raised in macon. That ain't much of the hood though. U got cross keys, kings view village, and everybody local knows Payne City. Good video. We just got more shit stains to offer is all I'm saying
I live in Metro Atlanta, but I go to school in Macon and I'd say it's pretty nice there, got some really good people, even though places are getting robbed every other week...
This doesn't look bad at all. I've lived in the hood most my life, big city and country. Lots of good folks live in these areas, thing to remember is mind your own, don't disrespect folks and stay home late at night you'll have no problems. I'd definitely live here .
Man I miss home. Those streets raised me. Miller middle school, the original central high school. Southwest high school for summer school every year. Sneeking to Greenville to chill, going to see my man in south Macon at night in my 82 pontiac bonneville. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes I think so Just it is as media says but maybe those people are so kind just the poverty and the indifference of the state can make them look like that
Yeah I think the video makes it seem worse than it is. Would I want to walk down the road alone at night? no. But I live here and have run through some of those neighborhoods and have felt plenty safe.
Thanks for sharing this great video. This is something more people should do in the neighborhoods. People need to get out the action cam, mount it on the dashboard, cruise around, and show the world where they live. It was interesting to see so many single-level Ranch-style suburban houses that looked like they were built in the 1950s thru the 70s. This looked like evidence of a middle class. There are neighborhoods like this in middle class manufacturing towns where I live (I'm a Yankee). Because of the syphoning off of the wealth and opportunity by the super-wealthy and by foreign trade, many of those middle class neighborhoods are deteriorating here, too. Looks like Macon's infrastructure isn't always the best, either. (Rough streets, grown-over curbs, etc.) I would not be surprised if landline phone and internet, water quality, and other services were lacking. We all have to hang together and demand better accountability and standards.
They don't care. Seriously, it is known. Every year or two Macon/Bibb says they are going to tear all of the abandoned homes, clear the yards and auction the properties off. The plan will be major story on the local news and the local government never follows through with it.
@@waywardmomma9625 Yes, it does cost money. But if people would call Code Enforcement on houses where people live there, then they'll HAVE to clean-up. If there's vacant property, inmates will clean up. They did that here. I called. Call the Marshall's Dept. about junk cars. There are ordinances.
It's very sad of how bad Macon has gone down. The dirty rats has really made a mess of the town, and the lazy sorry local government is not doing anything about it😡😡😡
478 Dublin ga in the building much love to my surrounding hoods we gotta stay positive my young ppl put down the guns and pick that ball up like we use to in the days born and raised DUB all day south side baby raised me
This is a total collapse of infrastructure, on many levels. I grew up in the Albany area, left there in 81. There are areas in Albany that looks just like it did or worse, when I left there forty years ago. Roads and streets not maintained, houses collapsing, trash, overgrown grass, empty buildings everywhere. What are the elected officials doing for the districts they represent, obviously nothing. I can see Macon also has that problem. I been living in Southwest Florida since 81, and we have ghetto/hoods too. They don't play that run down looking shit down here. You either bring your property up to code or they levy you with fines until you do. When you are forced to live in those conditions, your chances of prospering and living the American dream are all but diminished.
I live on the East side of Macon, and i love it! Hear gun shots every now and then, but it's cool. At least my children can play outside in peace here. I moved here 9 months ago from Jacksonville Florida! A big difference. I ain't going nowhere
Rosetta Johnson congratulations I know you content Macon is a great city a spiritual city like most black cities..... it’s not too impoverished either where you can’t find peace and happiness enjoy
I'm from Macon, born and raised....left 13 years ago...it is so much more this world has to offer..and making that move gave me this clarity...there is more out here...
I just moved from Macon Georgia. Live there for 12 years. It's actually very nice and quiet. Considering I moved back to Atlantic City New Jersey where I was born and raised
Yeah, I asked the same thing. But I think the video itself have a lot of perspective in itself... after watching it in full...i feel there really wasn't much to say as the video speaks for itself
worldpeace026 I definitely agree with you but I also feel, if people are concerned or intrigued enough to ride around and show case the flaws of our community, then how about help or give us some ideas to put forth a change.
Darryl Swayne what I get from his videos is it’s showed me how black people across America are in some form of poverty &have been robbed of resources “greatness” cuz true black history says otherwise about how we lived compared to now it’s motivation for me and eye opening it made me realize it’s black folks responsibility to look out for each other regardless region (hopefully 😒) I really think it was systemic by some people in power in the past to keep black folks subdued and it shows how we live now mostly we gotta change the shit
I'm looking at moving to GA and Macon was on my list. These typed of videos helped me select a home. I totally watch them jus to get a feel of the city (since I've never been there and cant go visit because of work. Needless to say I selected Warner Robins.
I lived at the intersection of Beech and Birch in 2002. 2400 Beech Ave I believe (thanks Google Maps) lol. Anyways, EVERYONE was kind and respectful to us. Walk down the street to Miss Barbara's house for a dime bag and get your yard cut or WHATEVER for $2. Smhlol As crazy as my life was, i'll all appreciate seeing both sides of the coin... and what it means to live in a place where NO ONE would deliver anything but drugs! 😂 Gotta say, God has raised me up and I'm so grateful. Anyways, yeah, there's crime but I honestly found if you respected others and didn't take no crap, people left you alone for the most part. When you're too poor to have much to take, guess you ain't in the same situation. People don't poop where they live... well, they do but that's in track homes etc. Love and blessings to all. Macon is def a mixed bag! 💞
Come back to Louisiana the most dangerous state in America and roll through the Baton Rouge, Monroe, Lafayette, Opelousas, Eunice they got some real gangsta cities in Louisiana it's different down here!
A few of those areas appear to maybe off Houston Ave. Others look to be maybe on the out skirts of Macon. But it's another beautiful, sunny day in Macon. She's got soul.

Born and raised in Macon currently stay on the northside, but from Unionville. Macon definitely has a lot of work but if people do their part by educating themselves and getting more involved in the community could be a better place.
LaTrina Hill gorgeous face you....you are spot on with your assessment a change is gonna come for Macon eventually Macon used to be a bustling place all the resources and focus has gone to the northside which is typically white since Ellis left
Trina what are you doing 😂😂😉😋😎 double R😶
The vibes I got from this city growing up, has died along with the people
Yeen neva lied about that the vibe is not how it use to be in macon
worldpeace026 when jack ellis left it seems so did the spirit and energy and people of Macon I say round 2011 and after a lot people left and the city died and all the political focus & resources went to the north side where the white folks mostly at think about that
@@thomashall2983 yes I said same thing 2011 bout that time when it started to die down 2012 junk just was straight dead after that
@@KingFiy crap! I wanted to move back. If the spirit is gone, then its gone and alot of personality must have gone with it. Ill come visit first, because she has seen so many changes, she may not be the same lady at all. And that may break my heart.
@@joleneloveland2942 yes it is! Mercer is just buying up everything that's just the best thing about but its somewhat bad too in a way but I left myself and I feel better but we will never forget the times maybe we could bring it back
Thanks for the tour, Charlie. Curious, how many miles do you have on your van?
Laughing my ass off. Good one!
man as a nc native you don't know how much I love the south
ghost town
You live in a ghost town GTFO we love our city if it ain't a good don't say it 💙 bye
Not really. It only seems like that during the day time. Once it's night, everyone be living they best life
@@King.MaidenHeaven not where I'm living. I'm living here NOW, and it ain't dead with all these people and cars I see. And neighborhoods filled with people, and all the schools filled a whole bunch of kids. That's not dead is it
Macon not a ghost town 😂 y’all trippin
Im from Macon Georgia used to live over around the Macon Mall.
do one of the peach orchard that area is crazy I grew up in Lizella ga
Michele Ford i did too off n on
Most of these homes look abandoned
There's a good chance that they are. Macon is notorious for having a lot of empty houses and builings.
We on TH-cam now 478 yhu heard!!
This is where the zombie apocalypse started
Thank you for posting!!!
Lots of nice subsidized housing there.
That's anywhere in the world. All states have hoods. Projects, ghetto. It's what you do with your life.
Letit Bemee well duh
Some of the last neighborhoods I was like we drive past that LITERALLY all the time
The city of Macon Sanitation department need to clean up them
NASTY, FILTHY BACK STREETS 😦
I'm from macon,love macon all hoods don't look this way life is what you make it we got white slums,too
Cg Crosby white slums? Like wiggers?
My dad grew up poor in Macon in the 50's and he'll drive me around and show me a bunch of empty lots where he used to live. None of the houses he lived in are still standing and he moved a dozen times.
Nice to see you going to Mac town but you missed the worst hoods. Village Green, Fort Hill, and King's park! Keep up the good work though!
Lmfao idk why this is in my recommended bc I live in lizella n never looked up macon or hood but damn.
Its a beautiful city. But then Lizella is a beautiful area too. Ive seen way worse hoods. Try west Atlanta or east Birmingham. East St. Louis....the eastbound freeway to St. Louis almost guarantees a stop off in East St. Louis! Anyone out there know what i mean about that freeway?
Loveland a lot of ppl say lizella got nice houses
Jolene Loveland nah Detroit is the worst The Whole city
Born and raised in macon. That ain't much of the hood though. U got cross keys, kings view village, and everybody local knows Payne City. Good video. We just got more shit stains to offer is all I'm saying
I grew up in Kings View off Olympia cir., really wasn't that bad back then, just it's really nothing down there to do but get in trouble
Joe Nathan S you are absolutely correct. I was waiting on footage of south and east Macon as well. But this video is only of West Macon.
I live in Metro Atlanta, but I go to school in Macon and I'd say it's pretty nice there, got some really good people, even though places are getting robbed every other week...
Clementine? 😂😂
WE ALL WE GOT! 478
Man you need to come to milledgeville Georgia it’s hood too for a small town like 25 mins away from Macon
Milledgeville boring asf al y’all got is capital downtown I ain’t gone lie though the grove used to be lit doe
U gone get this man shot lol
It was quite interesting, seeing these neighborhoods, however, I was awaiting your personal insight, and purpose for this video
Me too! Why did you make this video?
Me too 😉😋😑
@@ronnieredding7483 do i know you...are you from macon and you know me...you have commented on two of my post....hmmmm...lol
@@worldpeace0266 I'm from the Mac town, but I don't you, but would like too😁😉😋😎
This doesn't look bad at all. I've lived in the hood most my life, big city and country. Lots of good folks live in these areas, thing to remember is mind your own, don't disrespect folks and stay home late at night you'll have no problems. I'd definitely live here .
Same
Man I miss home. Those streets raised me. Miller middle school, the original central high school. Southwest high school for summer school every year. Sneeking to Greenville to chill, going to see my man in south Macon at night in my 82 pontiac bonneville. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taking the risk and go to film those unsafe aces deserves million likes for the video
Yes I think so
Just it is as media says but maybe those people are so kind just the poverty and the indifference of the state can make them look like that
They're taking the same amount of risk as driving down any road in America.
Yeah I think the video makes it seem worse than it is. Would I want to walk down the road alone at night? no. But I live here and have run through some of those neighborhoods and have felt plenty safe.
Yes man maybe the video made it worse, in fact media doesn't show things as they are in the most of time and maybe this is an example
Thanks for sharing this great video. This is something more people should do in the neighborhoods. People need to get out the action cam, mount it on the dashboard, cruise around, and show the world where they live. It was interesting to see so many single-level Ranch-style suburban houses that looked like they were built in the 1950s thru the 70s. This looked like evidence of a middle class. There are neighborhoods like this in middle class manufacturing towns where I live (I'm a Yankee). Because of the syphoning off of the wealth and opportunity by the super-wealthy and by foreign trade, many of those middle class neighborhoods are deteriorating here, too. Looks like Macon's infrastructure isn't always the best, either. (Rough streets, grown-over curbs, etc.) I would not be surprised if landline phone and internet, water quality, and other services were lacking. We all have to hang together and demand better accountability and standards.
It’s crazy how back in the day Macon looked nothing like this now it’s a mess and Houston Ave is worse 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Aye there go my crib
Go to Thomaston Ga. Visit Lincoln Park. That place has not changed in 50 years. I used to hangout there as a teen.
I’m from Columbus, Georgia my ex stayed in Lincoln park she was from Harlem but her ppl from thomaston..
If you don't care for and keep up your own property, why do you think and act like other people should?
If yall feel that way why yall talking shii about our choices we dont wanna be bothered with yall
Its crazy how all hoods in the south look the same Except New Orleans and Miami
Call Code Enforcement on overgrown properties. Buildings are collapsed.
They don't care. Seriously, it is known. Every year or two Macon/Bibb says they are going to tear all of the abandoned homes, clear the yards and auction the properties off. The plan will be major story on the local news and the local government never follows through with it.
@@waywardmomma9625 Yes, it does cost money. But if people would call Code Enforcement on houses where people live there, then they'll HAVE to clean-up. If there's vacant property, inmates will clean up. They did that here. I called. Call the Marshall's Dept. about junk cars. There are ordinances.
In Macon? Not a chance
0:42 my family all down this street
Thanks Charlie Don’t forget Memphis I’m a donate sum ASAP
He already been to Memphis in his videos
Terrance Smith I don’t care he can go again and do an interview Im in support of this guy
@@thomashall2983 So what don't be a smart ass
It's very sad of how bad Macon has gone down. The dirty rats has really made a mess of the town, and the lazy sorry local government is not doing anything about it😡😡😡
My Grandfather was a sharecroppers in Macon Georgia back in the 1920's and 1930's
Hi Charlie can you turn your radio on like to hear what radio sounds like in Macon, Georgia thank you
Not bad. One of the cleanest hoods I've ever seen.
You should visit Tampa and Orlando!
Why?
Traditionalist They got slums in those cities.
TOTransitGuy7755 where in Tampa?
@@Eman1900O east side, and multiple other pockets of the city.
Lenny Schorer nothing like Atlanta or Miami I bet. I hear Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Miami are the worst in FL
478 Dublin ga in the building much love to my surrounding hoods we gotta stay positive my young ppl put down the guns and pick that ball up like we use to in the days born and raised DUB all day south side baby raised me
This is a total collapse of infrastructure, on many levels. I grew up in the Albany area, left there in 81. There are areas in Albany that looks just like it did or worse, when I left there forty years ago. Roads and streets not maintained, houses collapsing, trash, overgrown grass, empty buildings everywhere. What are the elected officials doing for the districts they represent, obviously nothing. I can see Macon also has that problem. I been living in Southwest Florida since 81, and we have ghetto/hoods too. They don't play that run down looking shit down here. You either bring your property up to code or they levy you with fines until you do. When you are forced to live in those conditions, your chances of prospering and living the American dream are all but diminished.
After watching the full video, I think your silence and just the raw footage of our neighborhoods, was self explanatory.... nice clip
World peace where are you, just like to see you sometime 😃😉😋😎😘
I live on the East side of Macon, and i love it! Hear gun shots every now and then, but it's cool. At least my children can play outside in peace here. I moved here 9 months ago from Jacksonville Florida! A big difference. I ain't going nowhere
Rosetta Johnson yep if the kids are safe outside , it can’t be that damn bad
@@mathaibunny2476 Absolutely
Rosetta Johnson congratulations I know you content Macon is a great city a spiritual city like most black cities..... it’s not too impoverished either where you can’t find peace and happiness enjoy
I'm from Macon, born and raised....left 13 years ago...it is so much more this world has to offer..and making that move gave me this clarity...there is more out here...
@@thomashall2983 thank you
South Mac Town. It looks like he's driving through the field on the West Side and the Heights on the East
I just moved from Macon Georgia. Live there for 12 years. It's actually very nice and quiet. Considering I moved back to Atlantic City New Jersey where I was born and raised
good music town. home of the great late Little Richard
@@THEHamBot1 Otis redding also.
Ur car breaks downs in one of these neighborhoods I would piss my pants
Why tho
I know exactly where all of these areas are. Actually live off Mercer so I'm close.
Some people keep their home clean and neat I see your point.
I was having anxiety watching this lol hope you locked your doors im actually so glad I moved away from macon ga
Bitch fuck outta here
You said it meme!!😂😂😋😎
Good job covering the area. It is nice to see this and not just hear talking. Let the viewer gather in information through what she or he sees.
Im trying to see what’s your purpose for riding around my neighborhood and posting this video?... like literally what the purpose?
Yeah, I asked the same thing. But I think the video itself have a lot of perspective in itself... after watching it in full...i feel there really wasn't much to say as the video speaks for itself
worldpeace026 I definitely agree with you but I also feel, if people are concerned or intrigued enough to ride around and show case the flaws of our community, then how about help or give us some ideas to put forth a change.
Darryl Swayne what I get from his videos is it’s showed me how black people across America are in some form of poverty &have been robbed of resources “greatness” cuz true black history says otherwise about how we lived compared to now it’s motivation for me and eye opening it made me realize it’s black folks responsibility to look out for each other regardless region (hopefully 😒) I really think it was systemic by some people in power in the past to keep black folks subdued and it shows how we live now mostly we gotta change the shit
I'm looking at moving to GA and Macon was on my list. These typed of videos helped me select a home. I totally watch them jus to get a feel of the city (since I've never been there and cant go visit because of work. Needless to say I selected Warner Robins.
Sabrina Parker great selection enjoy
I lived at the intersection of Beech and Birch in 2002. 2400 Beech Ave I believe (thanks Google Maps) lol.
Anyways, EVERYONE was kind and respectful to us. Walk down the street to Miss Barbara's house for a dime bag and get your yard cut or WHATEVER for $2. Smhlol
As crazy as my life was, i'll all appreciate seeing both sides of the coin... and what it means to live in a place where NO ONE would deliver anything but drugs! 😂
Gotta say, God has raised me up and I'm so grateful.
Anyways, yeah, there's crime but I honestly found if you respected others and didn't take no crap, people left you alone for the most part. When you're too poor to have much to take, guess you ain't in the same situation. People don't poop where they live... well, they do but that's in track homes etc. Love and blessings to all. Macon is def a mixed bag! 💞
Come back to Louisiana the most dangerous state in America and roll through the Baton Rouge, Monroe, Lafayette, Opelousas, Eunice they got some real gangsta cities in Louisiana it's different down here!
You forgot Lake Charles and Shreveport, the dangerous bookends on either side of US Route 171.
@@robertpreskop4425oh I already know brudda I just wanted to throw a few gutta cities out there !
Most dangerous and yall proud of that...weirdos
Im sorry.
They went to the safest parts they didn't even touch the eastside or southside of Macon
A few of those areas appear to maybe off Houston Ave. Others look to be maybe on the out skirts of Macon. But it's another beautiful, sunny day in Macon. She's got soul.
I thought at some point you would talk 🤦🏾♀️
So did I! Oh hell no. Thats because he/she left all the talking to us, because he knew we would. Very clever actually.
I don't recognize these areas...haven't lived there in years.
You're not the only one! I think some are off Houston Ave. And the rest on the outskirts of town. Im just guessing, not for sure tho.
Jolene Loveland these not outskirts
Born and raised on the east. I love my city.
I feel like southern hoods are more ratchet than any hoods up north, Memphis, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, and Birmingham.
@ nothing can be as bad as Memphis.
Florida Nword up north hoods worse living conditions
@@saonedixon8385 don't nobody down here got slave mind sets well atleast not we're I'm from stop speaking on shit you don't know..
@@countryboybama2126 judging by your various other bs nonsense comments on this video! I firmly believe you STILL have a slave mindset, I really do. I'd argue the average slave would of been better educated then you are though. You're nonsense ramblings repeating yourself on other comments on this video have really given me a good laugh 👌 I thank you for the giggles young degenerate!!!
Not at all..B mor,Detroit,Chicago,Philadelphia And many New York hoods looks way worse than southern hoods
Come To Savannah
That’s the first city in Georgia if anything they should be getting recognition
Racist there Paula Dean home lol
Isnt it expensive to live there? I ask because im considering moving back to Ga. I love Macon too.
This area ain't even that bad they didn't show Houston ave or Fort hill
Hell no! After playing the walking dead. No! No! No! I’m scared of these cities now.
I lived in Macon for several years. Nice quiet place where not a whole lot happens, almost boring. I didn't live in the 'hood though, so it's probably totally different from my experience.
You must live in the good peaceful area, cause in macon where I live. It goes down almost every night
@@itsyaboi1846 word!!!!!!
Man where in the hell in Macon do you live?
@@sammystrong7643 probably lives on zebulion (however you spell it)
@@itsyaboi1846 My thoughts exactly lol! I know he has to live somewhere far north of Eisenhower along Riverside.
This hood looks like a vacation parc. If this is a hood, residents have to blame themselves.
Stfu
Sound like you are one of those residents.
