Born and raised in Baltimore. Left 8 years ago. Best decision I have ever made. I just couldn't stand to see a once beautiful city reduced to corner boys and vacants. Truly sad and utterly disgusting.
Mike Spector I agree 1000%. It is such a shame that a city so beautiful with so much to offer has this side of the coin as well. I spent my first 24yrs outside of the city, enjoying going downtown. Now I have to tell my friends that to go to an O's game or to The Inner Harbor when we visit we must be diligent and keep our radar up is heartbreaking to me 😪
Baltimore.....a liquor store at every intersection, and at least 12 boarded up rows houses per block, or your money back. I guarantee it. I won't be undersold!
Whoever - oh just like “white trailer trash” and the mountain hill billy Come on Stop it - impoverished people of every color given the opportunity to better their lives would, - ownership breeds pride People would do better if given the opportunity What you just said is counter productive
For a kid to make it outta here is just amazing in itself. To come outside and see nothing but Blight, walk to school and actually believe they can achieve, is beyond amazing. What role models or examples do they have to follow. Its just nuts. Crazy in itself
They started out as single family homes, but were rented out as multiple families swelling. Common sense suggests that multiple families living in what was designed for a single family are racist tactics by design. Whenever building becomes old and starts to crumble they are rented to the more vulnerable members of society. Use your brain before judgemental comments.
That marching band was the only ray of hope in this entire video... Perhaps those kids will continue their hard work and dedication, to go on, and become something great, and be the very best versions of themselves.
I'll never forget my first trip to Baltimore, probably back around 2001 or so. I took my then girlfriend to the inner harbor and witnessed an upstanding young male citizen of the city running as fast as he could down the street holding a woman's purse under his arm. It didn't go with his outfit and this was way before it was cool for girls to be boys and vice versa, so its safe to say that he probably stole it.

Nothing To See Here I’m sayin that in today’s fucked up world a girl can say it’s a boy, a boy can say it’s a girl and if you don’t agree and acknowledge them as such, you are a racist nazi.
@@dougiefresh8234 it's crazy...I live in DC and it's another world...I love Baltimore though..I go up there to look for properties. This video doesn't show the side streets and the allies either.
I fee like these comments don’t recognize all of the life that is going non in these neighborhoods. Look at all these people outside living their lives. This is freaking community and it’s alive and beautiful!!!! I love my city
Never heard of redlining. It was a point where blacks were thriving in inner cities black businesses and all you know what the White men did build highways right on top of black communities forcing families to segregate and leave it's way more I could school you in and their is a lot of Psychological damage due to those actions of White leaders. You think we built these raggedy ass homes. You think we made these streets no we just live in them unfortunately think twice before you comment
@Michael Whitewolf these people need jobs and decent infrastructure. how are they suppose to live a normal life with abandoned buildings everywhere and nothing but liquor stores on every corner.
Are you ever nervous riding through some of these places? I’m from Philly, I’m in Baltimore every so often and when i ride through certain spots I’d be lying if i say I’m not on alert.

stackz dollaz dats crazy bro I was just in baltimore over there by harbor hospital by a Big ass project called CHERRY HILL. Yo let me tell yo cuz im from Pittsburgh PA and we got projects as well as Hoods with Bloccs. I have never been in a project that damn big in my life. I was on da 26 bus on my way to da greyhound and da whole time im riding through cherry hill like i could only imagine how T.F yall act when da sun go down lol. Baltimore like my second home so its all love 1

I'm sorry to hear that.that area has always been rough,I used to ride into work w my pop who worked @ Bon Secour Hospital.that was late 70 a,and it was rough then. In the mid 90 s I lived 6 blocks south of there,and then 5-6 blocks toward town by Franklin Square. I'm lucky I did nt stay in Bmore. Anyway,sorry for your lost,no parent should have to go thru that
Baltimore is probably rock bottom as far as worst city in the country. Once you leave the harbor you are in the ghetto. You need to hit up Rochester, NY. You can constantly hear gun shots going off.
Generations of families once lived in Baltimore. The streets were pristine, full of life. Who is going to run for “Mayor” that’s going to make a difference in Baltimore??? Millions of dollars are being dumped into the iconic “Lexington Market” that’s a plus but it’s surrounded with Drug addicts. The drug addicts will move to another block invading the front of businesses. Baltimore needs change and we need it “Now!!!!!”
I didn't know that there's only 14 minutes and 16 seconds in a day. Some of those ppl are employed and don't eat fried chicken and watermelon while drinking 40's. Dumb racist piece of shyt.
Fred Gardner now you're thinking my brotha! Exactly my point, education saves a nation, and if people knew better, they would do better. Salute to you!
They damn sure ain't standing around....and probably have more money in their pockets than you make in a month.....standing right around doing nothing.....
Lenae queen pretty sure ya get my point though.... lol. I’m just glad I moved away from bmore 20 years ago. Detroit is less of a ghost town then w bmore.
When I was in active addictuon I would go all over these same west side neighborhoods (clean 3 yrs now so its been a minute) but watching this is like...surreal almost. Kind of like...going home, but as if my home were my worst memory. If that makes sense. Ive had some shit happen to me down there...thats for sure.. can be scary down in the trenches sometimes.
The police series, "Homicide", was also shot in and around Baltimore City and County... I live in Baltimore County and one scene was filmed on my street and my wife, my neighbors, and I got to watch how the filming was done and we got paid for the filming of our houses... I was shown some of the "studio magic", how the dialogue spoken in the car was recorded, and the raw footage of the shot...
"Studio magic". I saw a scene from "The Devil's Own" shot on a NYC street overnight and in the actual movie the scene seems to occur in broad daylight. The police cars were made of painted cardboard.
West Baltimore born and bred. It’s sad how reckless it’s gotten but I wouldn’t trade my experiences for anything in the world. I can survive anywhere bcuz I was raised here. Most of my family is still there. I always come home and show love! 💪🏽❤️💪🏽
"He is such a good boy" is what his grandma would say in court. By the way, they all look tired as hell from busting they ass on the work floor all day.
I've lived in Baltimore most of my life, and have traveled across the country and to various countries. Buffalo NY is a lot like Baltimore but upgraded. I have family there and travel upstate at least twice a year, so I spend about 2+ weeks there a year. I love it there and have considered moving but that will have to wait until I retire. I also love my hometown of Baltimore. The only thing I will state about this video and others like it is that they are showing you inner city neighborhoods, not the majority of Baltimore. There are many nice middle class neighborhoods in the city like where I live, no one is standing on the corners and there is no corner stores or bars. We have well kept properties and police are rarely seen unless they get a call or are passing through. I can sit on my deck at night and enjoy the peace and quiet like I am in the suburbs. All of Baltimore City is not the Wire 2.0
Some bittersweet images with those blossoms on he trees. You’re like a street ethnographer or something. Amazing and difficult content on your channel.
My ex is from bmore... he took me there last year to this neighborhood to visit his cousin.. in my car(out of state plates 0% tint, with a trump bumper sticker). Didn’t realize or think about the bumper sticker till after we left.... lucky we weren’t killed!!!!! We still laugh about it today
I was born and raised in Philly. Spent 3 years in West Baltimore 2002-2005 on Eutaw Pl. I was 21 at the time living in a zoo. Commuting back and forth to DC working in a housing project painting (Tyler House). I used to think every city look like this. Crime level and all. I'm in Florida now 2018 I'm 35 and man how has things changed.
The very 1st. Block was the same block The Game did his video on, dissing Meek Mill. Anyways, how does people around there do any shopping?? Out of all of those streets he's driven through, not 1 supermarket, department store, nor fruits and vegetables stand is seen however, there's a helluva lot of Liquor stores though!
Call it just a hunch but I'm guessing that they in fact walk or get a ride to a store in the area that sell merchandise that they want.. just a hunch tho..
@@botulismcasserole9832 Well, here's my hunch, from the looks of things, it seems more than half of those people in those neighbourhoods don't have access to those kinds of luxuries.
All those row homes, all those white steps. There is significant history there. Women used to keep those white steps highly polished and clean. The neighborhoods were pristine. There was pride in their homes even if they were lower middle class.
These pictures aren't that bad compared to seeing it in person, I had to visit a in law in hospital there and rode pass West Baltimore I couldn't believe it,people were actually living in homes that needed to be abandoned, broken windows, babies running around no shoes in diapers and young boys up and down streets selling whatever, so sad its frightening !!!!!!
Mentally of the hood is b-more is a city that bleeds not reads! Liquor store on every corner along with churches but nobody preaching to save the souls... Drugs, murder, and abandoned housing is all around. I instantly real a negative ribe in these parts of the City of Baltimore, hopelessness!!!
put money into these neighborhoods with education and trauma rehabilitation and treatment clinics to let these people know that life can get better with some effort, and show them what healthy relationships with others is like. invest in small businesses to get these guys off the streets and to give the upcoming young adults better jobs than the corner liquor store down the street.
Poplar Grove and Edmondson Ave, In 1968 they where not paying people to stand on the street if they would Baltimore would go broke. We had to sweep the alley ways then and the steps where scrubbed clean. I left in 1976. Back for visits yet I was told if you stood still the corner would hold your feet then your cuties would play craps and drink beer so after observing that for a summer I decided to take a chance. 5 new home, 3 Mercedes, and traveling everywhere I wanted in the world I'm heading back to visit Family. The statement is not mention to brag, But to say what I did because I left. I wish more of my Hebrew Brothers would discover the risk of making a promenade move then return and compare. My Uncle told me " There are Ant's and Roaches" The Ants are always working , and when the light come on the Roaches scatter. Well it encourage me to become an Ant. Now the I can's drive by the I won't' on there way to work and after the shift. Drive by the I will not's asking for money so the maybe can eat. I know this one thing. One can be conditioned to do anything. Good or Bad, Right or wrong. It come down to choice. If you see me say Hi, I won't be hard to spot. I'll be driving a SUV with the Camp trailer on the back with out of state tags. To show it can be done. I don't have to brag or boast about me or my accomplishments. Just Represent and be proud of where I came from. Baltimore, will always be home. It's people my people. Oh they call me Mr. C. 4/26/18
anthony cooper I remember an older guy named Mr.C who worked at Autozone on reisterstown road when I worked there a few years ago. You’re not the same person are you
No, But worked as a young man downtown in Lexington Market as a shoe shine person. Mr. Carpenter was my Grand father. He was the bell ringer in the 60's I worked there along side him 69-72. Very encouraging man. The spark that lit the fire that forever burns. Everyone leaves a mark, Leave a good one!
anthony cooper I'm always gonna be proud to be from Baltimore. But I remember pics and hearing about how different Baltimore was back in the 50's and 60's. Like I said before. Baltimore has to be one of the most, if not, THE MOST neglected city in America. No help from the government, no help from the officials running Baltimore. Only good news recently is Marilyn mosby somewhat decriminalized weed and cleared out the prisons and jails that housed people with weed charges.
We have our issues and problems here in Baltimore for real. Something has to give to make our city great again. Jobs, money, housing and accountability by The City of Baltimore Officials, ie The Police department and politicians.
Deana Wells you're a White girl! WTF are you doing living in a shithole like Baltimore? Don't blame the city council members and the police ! It's the SCUMBAG'S who created the friggen mess this city, and every major And minor city throughout AMERICA! Before they came up from the Southern States ( where they were forced to behave or be hung) those Cities were thriving with businesses and an AMERICAN Dream culture! They arrived in droves and .... Goodnight Irene! They destroyed all of AMERICA's once prosperous Cities! That's the Gods honest truth!
1:25 is Monroe and Fayette, old Dope Spot! Lol. You are going through all the drug spots, but you are in Baltimore City, so all of Baltimore City is drugs spots! Lol Westsideeee! Yeahhhhhhh boyeeeeeee! Lol
Been there plenty of times lol. I'm a small white guy and I've walked those streets at night and never had any issues lol but that's cause other than "business" reasons; I minded my own business
@@kurt-qi9hk I used to walk through Murphy homes and Lexington Terrace, nobody ever bothered me neither, but one black guy said, look at this crazy ass white boy, because you never see any white people going through there, and most everyone who was white and did dare to venture through there usually always got the living shit beat out of them. Lol. I just wasn't afraid to go anywhere by myself.
Baltimore City is a relatively beautiful historical city that has been neglected terribly. Despite the negative views in our hoods, we are a people who love one another 4 sure. We have a bond like no other in The Charm City💙💙ONE love, Family always and 4 ever❤️❤️❤️Love my hometown baby and rep it EVERYDAY all day...21215 baby💪💋💪
These are not anywhere near the worst parts of West bmore. Gotta go to park heights deep in the side streets or other parts which are much worse off or even edmondson village behind the village shopping center or down poplar grove

Lenae queen pretty sure ya get my point though.... lol. I’m just glad I moved away from bmore 20 years ago. Detroit is less of a ghost town then w bmore.
Vote Republican for a change the Dems have taken Baltimore for granted.Teach them a lesson
When I was in active addictuon I would go all over these same west side neighborhoods (clean 3 yrs now so its been a minute) but watching this is like...surreal almost. Kind of like...going home, but as if my home were my worst memory. If that makes sense.
Ive had some shit happen to me down there...thats for sure.. can be scary down in the trenches sometimes.
Faith Pickles congrats,on your recovery..God had his hands on u
Damn, I was thirsty for a long time to see another cool episode and dis one's reeeel good!
Who is here because of Trump’s tweet??
The bigger the lie, the more they believe it: "Baltimore is just a larger version of Mayberry"
Is this where they filmed The Wire?
Yes the 2002 series was in Baltimore.
The police series, "Homicide", was also shot in and around Baltimore City and County...
I live in Baltimore County and one scene was filmed on my street and my wife, my neighbors, and I got to watch how the filming was done and we got paid for the filming of our houses...
I was shown some of the "studio magic", how the dialogue spoken in the car was recorded, and the raw footage of the shot...
Cole's World Yes
"Studio magic". I saw a scene from "The Devil's Own" shot on a NYC street overnight and in the actual movie the scene seems to occur in broad daylight. The police cars were made of painted cardboard.
Larry 306 the whole entire serous was in bmore
Imagine this place after dark ! MAGA
West Baltimore born and bred. It’s sad how reckless it’s gotten but I wouldn’t trade my experiences for anything in the world. I can survive anywhere bcuz I was raised here. Most of my family is still there. I always come home and show love! 💪🏽❤️💪🏽
"He is such a good boy" is what his grandma would say in court.
By the way, they all look tired as hell from busting they ass on the work floor all day.
Thank god I live in Buffalo we have our urban problems but it is utopia compared to Baltimore "the Caracas of the North".
Robert Preskop I’d rather live in Baltimore as buffalo. I live in Germany
I've lived in Baltimore most of my life, and have traveled across the country and to various countries. Buffalo NY is a lot like Baltimore but upgraded. I have family there and travel upstate at least twice a year, so I spend about 2+ weeks there a year. I love it there and have considered moving but that will have to wait until I retire. I also love my hometown of Baltimore. The only thing I will state about this video and others like it is that they are showing you inner city neighborhoods, not the majority of Baltimore. There are many nice middle class neighborhoods in the city like where I live, no one is standing on the corners and there is no corner stores or bars. We have well kept properties and police are rarely seen unless they get a call or are passing through. I can sit on my deck at night and enjoy the peace and quiet like I am in the suburbs. All of Baltimore City is not the Wire 2.0
Good video ! Nice to see some signs of spring as well. These places always look bad, but in the middle of winter they look like a zombie apocalypse.
Looks like a zombie apocalypse there
This is where Oscar the Grouch lives.
Some bittersweet images with those blossoms on he trees. You’re like a street ethnographer or something. Amazing and difficult content on your channel.
Greetings from Hoodlawn/Gwynn Oak!
ruined too
Greetings from Park Heights
My ex is from bmore... he took me there last year to this neighborhood to visit his cousin.. in my car(out of state plates 0% tint, with a trump bumper sticker). Didn’t realize or think about the bumper sticker till after we left.... lucky we weren’t killed!!!!! We still laugh about it today
I was born and raised in Philly. Spent 3 years in West Baltimore 2002-2005 on Eutaw Pl. I was 21 at the time living in a zoo. Commuting back and forth to DC working in a housing project painting (Tyler House). I used to think every city look like this. Crime level and all. I'm in Florida now 2018 I'm 35 and man how has things changed.
Florida hahahahahaha
Your story is similar to mines. Even same age😎
I love and hate these videos at the same time. I love seeing the city i grew up in but i hate seeing the conditions
you and me both never thought the TIDE would flow in and ruin my city
The very 1st. Block was the same block The Game did his video on, dissing Meek Mill. Anyways, how does people around there do any shopping?? Out of all of those streets he's driven through, not 1 supermarket, department store, nor fruits and vegetables stand is seen however, there's a helluva lot of Liquor stores though!
Most of the decent stores are in the county. Small businesses n corner store catch most of the day to day needs for a family in the hood
Call it just a hunch but I'm guessing that they in fact walk or get a ride to a store in the area that sell merchandise that they want.. just a hunch tho..
@@N3WHollywood It's like 1 corner every 15 blocks. lol..
@@botulismcasserole9832 🙄😏😂😂
@@botulismcasserole9832 Well, here's my hunch, from the looks of things, it seems more than half of those people in those neighbourhoods don't have access to those kinds of luxuries.
All those row homes, all those white steps. There is significant history there. Women used to keep those white steps highly polished and clean. The neighborhoods were pristine. There was pride in their homes even if they were lower middle class.
President Trump sent me and he didnt lie...Cummings wassup dude.. where's all the money going ??? In your pocket in your big gated house ???
Grow up there 60s to 83. So sad,and disheartening. Not at all what it once was.
I'm sure it was much cleaner in the 60s
For some reasoon I have a sudden craving for skittles and Rock Creek pineapple soda
We've really gone down the wrong path in this country in terms with dealing with the poor and underserved.
How sad, the blight of this city is starting to look like Detroit!!!!
Starting to ........(LOL)
There is between 20-35K abandoned vacants in Bmore bro**
The street signs even leaning like they on dope smh
Plymouth Rock!Pannnndemic!Pannnndemic!WMD!
how do you stay so low key with the camera and people not see you're filming?
I want my corners.
These pictures aren't that bad compared to seeing it in person, I had to visit a in law in hospital there and rode pass West Baltimore I couldn't believe it,people were actually living in homes that needed to be abandoned, broken windows, babies running around no shoes in diapers and young boys up and down streets selling whatever, so sad its frightening !!!!!!
Yeah true. I seen 8 year old boys selling water bottles at the traffic light just outside Cherry Hill. Man😥😥😥
Mentally of the hood is b-more is a city that bleeds not reads! Liquor store on every corner along with churches but nobody preaching to save the souls... Drugs, murder, and abandoned housing is all around. I instantly real a negative ribe in these parts of the City of Baltimore, hopelessness!!!
In the hood true homies make u feel good!
a war zone in a 3rd world country.pathetic,truly pathetic.dont want them in my neighborhood.
Neal Hagan - yeah it looked like the ruins of a bombed out city
put money into these neighborhoods with education and trauma rehabilitation and treatment clinics to let these people know that life can get better with some effort, and show them what healthy relationships with others is like. invest in small businesses to get these guys off the streets and to give the upcoming young adults better jobs than the corner liquor store down the street.
Poplar Grove and Edmondson Ave, In 1968 they where not paying people to stand on the street if they would Baltimore would go broke. We had to sweep the alley ways then and the steps where scrubbed clean. I left in 1976. Back for visits yet I was told if you stood still the corner would hold your feet then your cuties would play craps and drink beer so after observing that for a summer I decided to take a chance. 5 new home, 3 Mercedes, and traveling everywhere I wanted in the world I'm heading back to visit Family. The statement is not mention to brag, But to say what I did because I left. I wish more of my Hebrew Brothers would discover the risk of making a promenade move then return and compare. My Uncle told me " There are Ant's and Roaches" The Ants are always working , and when the light come on the Roaches scatter. Well it encourage me to become an Ant. Now the I can's drive by the I won't' on there way to work and after the shift. Drive by the I will not's asking for money so the maybe can eat. I know this one thing. One can be conditioned to do anything. Good or Bad, Right or wrong. It come down to choice. If you see me say Hi, I won't be hard to spot. I'll be driving a SUV with the Camp trailer on the back with out of state tags. To show it can be done. I don't have to brag or boast about me or my accomplishments. Just Represent and be proud of where I came from. Baltimore, will always be home. It's people my people. Oh they call me Mr. C. 4/26/18
anthony cooper I remember an older guy named Mr.C who worked at Autozone on reisterstown road when I worked there a few years ago. You’re not the same person are you
No, But worked as a young man downtown in Lexington Market as a shoe shine person. Mr. Carpenter was my Grand father. He was the bell ringer in the 60's I worked there along side him 69-72. Very encouraging man. The spark that lit the fire that forever burns. Everyone leaves a mark, Leave a good one!
anthony cooper I'm always gonna be proud to be from Baltimore. But I remember pics and hearing about how different Baltimore was back in the 50's and 60's. Like I said before. Baltimore has to be one of the most, if not, THE MOST neglected city in America. No help from the government, no help from the officials running Baltimore. Only good news recently is Marilyn mosby somewhat decriminalized weed and cleared out the prisons and jails that housed people with weed charges.
CAN YOU COUNT HOW MANY LIQUOR STORES ARE ON THIS RIDE THROUGH?
we bees lovin our juiice
We have our issues and problems here in Baltimore for real. Something has to give to make our city great again. Jobs, money, housing and accountability by The City of Baltimore Officials, ie The Police department and politicians.
Deana Wells you're a White girl! WTF are you doing living in a shithole like Baltimore? Don't blame the city council members and the police ! It's the SCUMBAG'S who created the friggen mess this city, and every major And minor city throughout AMERICA! Before they came up from the Southern States ( where they were forced to behave or be hung) those Cities were thriving with businesses and an AMERICAN Dream culture! They arrived in droves and .... Goodnight Irene! They destroyed all of AMERICA's once prosperous Cities! That's the Gods honest truth!
Baltimore in the 50 and 60s was one of the nicest places to live not any more I lived in Baltimore city for a couple of years its. Crazy there
How does this guy stay safe?
Fenny Famous I’ve never seen him but i get the vibe that he’s 6’7” 280 lbs lol
KevL215 he shows himself in the hood interview video
He minds his business
Fenny Famous. Exactly lol im surprised he hasn't been shot yet going through all these hoods
MYRONGAMESROTMG where?
You the man charlie
Seems like they all have very bright futures.
Film Pictures your moms made mines bright
Film Pictures in gang banging and drug dealing lol.
Haha
They have benches all over Baltimore that say ‘Greatest City in America’. Baltimore is a crazy city indeed. I for one love it!
They use to say the city that reads lol
1:25 is Monroe and Fayette, old Dope Spot! Lol. You are going through all the drug spots, but you are in Baltimore City, so all of Baltimore City is drugs spots! Lol Westsideeee! Yeahhhhhhh boyeeeeeee! Lol
Been there plenty of times lol. I'm a small white guy and I've walked those streets at night and never had any issues lol but that's cause other than "business" reasons; I minded my own business
@@kurt-qi9hk I used to walk through Murphy homes and Lexington Terrace, nobody ever bothered me neither, but one black guy said, look at this crazy ass white boy, because you never see any white people going through there, and most everyone who was white and did dare to venture through there usually always got the living shit beat out of them. Lol. I just wasn't afraid to go anywhere by myself.
It's still a dope spot lol dont ask me how I know
Naww dats Saratoga and Monroe #FACTS
Baltimore City is a relatively beautiful historical city that has been neglected terribly. Despite the negative views in our hoods, we are a people who love one another 4 sure. We have a bond like no other in The Charm City💙💙ONE love, Family always and 4 ever❤️❤️❤️Love my hometown baby and rep it EVERYDAY all day...21215 baby💪💋💪
These are not anywhere near the worst parts of West bmore. Gotta go to park heights deep in the side streets or other parts which are much worse off or even edmondson village behind the village shopping center or down poplar grove
or north avenue and west laf. this was around 12 min from my house tho
Go to sand town now that is a shit hole
Charlie's angels you be prowling bruh ,somebody going going catch you recording then its on🙉
Then they're going after those who watch...oh shit

Come to south Baltimore, pig town , cherry hill , brooklyn , curtis bay....
Bunchss goons in cherry hill, crack heads all over bk and c bay!
You guys had to watch a video to see how bad shape Baltimore is in after Trump's tweets? The city has been like this for decades.
Is West Baltimore predominantly black? & I think I got bed bugs after watching this
.
Is the pope catholic???
Why don’t you ride through Dundalk, you won’t show that huh
SOUNDS LIKE THE ZOO AT FEEDING TIME
Bet that couch at 0:43 could tell some stories...
i think that marching band made a wrong turn in the parade
Thnx! Great atmosphere impressions, stay safe.
Only conclusion about these videos is that they are all in Democrat strong hold cities
@Michael Whitewolf like where?
@Michael Whitewolf like.... where?
@Michael Whitewolf jogger areas... you can’t make this shit up. Clearly we know where you’re from
Damn I thought I was going to see Bubblez on one of those corners
Great job Charlie
Makes me want to watch The Wire...for about the 20th time
