it's good to see the old hood I had not been home in 30 years if you live in Tenn. in the 70 or 80 I wood like to talk to u email is ninasix35@Gmail.com
im from Knoxville & he aint in da worst areas...he was in da nicer parts of Mechanicsville... he bout 10-20 blocks away from Western Heights & bout a mile or 2 from Lonsdale Homes but he chose to ride in da nicer areas, i aint glorifying da hoods in Knoxville im jus sayin if u doin a video bout da hoods & tryna show ppl da hoods of Knoxville then thas where he should've rode around & then he should've hit da Eastside in Walter P Taylor Homes, Austin Homes, da whole MLK blvd, Cherry St, then he shoulda went to South Knox to Montgomery Village & ill say all around Knoxville isn't rilly a ghetto city... if he wants to ride through hoods in TN... he needs to do a video In Memphis & Nashville & parts of Clarksville...
Sherry Robson ummm ok BRO(ETTE) when did i say Knoxville was more hood/ghetto than Detroit? Anyone with common sense who's been to both cities or has a little knowledge about both cities would know that Detroit makes Knoxville look like Montana...i guess you don't read much because i did say "all around Knoxville isn't really a ghetto city" & when i was talking about the "ghetto" areas of Knoxville i wasn't making that shit up...how about u take your soccer mom, food network watching, wonderbread ass to Lonsdale Homes or Walter P. Taylor Homes in Knoxville & get out your car & start running that mouth & we'll see if you make it back home with all the stuff you came with... I can almost guarantee you'd get jacked in a matter of minutes...& who gives a damn about Detroit? At this point you almost can't even call it a city because it's so abandoned & deserted...your comment was hella(very) lame... I don't know why i bother with weird, goofy people like you. #youcan'tfixstupid
I have no idea what you're saying or if it's even English. How about you come up here to Detroit and I'll show you what's up. You really think your little punk self is so hard, huh? Hahaha!
Sherry Robson it's called internet slang-where you shorten longer words but they're still understandable... I guess the only ebonics i may have used were the words "da" & "lil"...you simply not being able to understand my comment just shows your stupidity because it wasn't like i was speaking Thai or Chinese or some shit...& when did i say i was such a hard ass? Lol i love how you make up your own meanings & basically put words in my mouth...& then you replying saying you have no idea what i said is obviously a tactic that stupid person does when they either really can't understand what was said or realize they look foolish. I never claimed, said or gave the impression that I'm some hard ass gangster from Knoxville. Smh 😂😂😂 & I've been to Detroit many times. I have a cousin who lives by Joy Rd so don't try to preach to me about how gangster & hard your city is... You probably live in the burbs like Auburn Hills or Allen Park or some shit, naw fuck that you probably live in Windsor, Ontario lmao. take care of your kids & leave me the fuck alone old lady... You've obviously lost this debate so it'd be nonsensical for you to even reply unless your really some troll who's just talking shit but judging by the channels you're subbed to I'd imagine you're an older white lady way out of your league talking about "ghettos" & "hoods"... #makeMERICAgreatagain
Downtown and midtown is actually becoming vibrant, and quite nice. It's an exciting time to be a part of the city. Of course, outside of these areas is a different story sadly. The downtown areas are definitely just good as those suburbs. When I was speaking of your comments, I was referring to sentence structure, misuse of tenses, and spelling, not necessarily shorthand Internet slang. I'm sorry if my comment on that offended you.
Sherry Robson your whole comment wasn't offensive but irritating because this isn't an English class... It's the internet & almost nobody including you uses proper English sentence structures, tenses, & everything that makes a proper English sentence. That's the beauty of the internet, you can type shit short & sweet & most ppl will get it... But it's water under the bridge. Oh & i no longer live in Knoxville, i moved to my motherland of Hawaii. So debating about Knoxville is pointless to me now & so is Detroit... Have a gr8 day since your up hella early...
I like the driving sounds and how the van sounds bumping around. It's like a white noise for me at this point. These videos relax me lol. Plus all the traveling without leaving home of course. Lol thanks man, great videos. ✌️❤️ From Hawaii
You missed so many areas that are actually "hoods". Go visit Lonsdale, Western Heights, East Knoxville/Park City/Magnolia Ave, Montgomery Village/Vestal
@@Lithu157 This Vid was near University ( Around the Coke-Cola plant ) They were killed in a home off Cherry street ,5 miles away .The area they died in was 90% white , this area is 90-10 black to white .
Charlie, I really enjoy your videos. Your older car is a very good running car and it allows you to travel across the country. You must be a mechanic too? Since you are in Tennessee, you may make it to ALABAMA too. Safe driving and thanks for the videos.
Near the end of your video you were just a couple of blocks away from Knoxville College, which has been abandoned since 2011 I think. That was sure a strange sight when I drove by there a few months ago.
Oh shit, dude, you recorded Knoxville? Did ya go down Gay St. at night? I'll see, I just started watching. I live about an hour from there. Since I live in the middle of no where, everything is 30 minutes to an hour from me.
the neighborhood you been riding through seems to be pretty good so far I haven't seen no problems no one hanging out yet I did say yet so to me the neighborhood looks pretty quiet and decent not too bad and I say that because some of them you'll find them to be really terrible the this one is decent so far just saying
I used to drive a van for a major Health Care Company in Knoxville. I recognize some of these streets but it's been a minute! BTW was one of those streets Cecil Avenue? I thought I recognized it!
LoL I grew up in Lonsdale and had family in Western Heights. You drove tru the nice part of town man. Musta been to scared to actually film the hoods lol. Live down off Bonny Oaks in Chattanooga now, u can come down here and film some hoods 👍
*THE HOOD?! You guys are spoiled in TN that looks like a nice little neighborhood compared too the city "hoods" in Connecticut. Cant even DRIVE through some places in "gun wavin' New Haven." TN looks like a great place if this is the worst of it!*
LOL hood? that is a laugh Montgomery village is the worst mechanicsville is a decent place now since they built all of those new duplexes and homes lol Knoxville is not as bad as you make it out to be.................
Can anyone from Tennessee answer this question. If a latino male moved to the hood in Tennessee and walked around (bus stops, corner stores, barbershop, weed man) just regular everyday shit would he get messed with? I heard people say southern folk or down to earth I heard other people say if your white or latino and walk in the hood your dead. Any insight? Looks beautiful to me .
It's not to shabby compared to the hoods in the big cities, for example: Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, etc., etc., etc., etc...... At least in Knoxville there are houses. There are houses with paint, and grass, and windows! Let's hear it for the hoods in Knoxville, Tennessee!!!!!!! Yeeehawwww!
I grew up in hud housing. I remember for a chunk of my childhood I lived in western heights right infront of Beaumont. There was this asshole teacher there named Ms. Krupsky
So why Charlie driving up and down Mechanicsville? Why he didn't go to Lonsdale? Or Montgomery Village? And don't get it twisted...some parts of W. Knoxville becoming hood, too
This looks to me like a place to make some money say mowing lawns. It does look like a-little bit poor but not real poverty. This doesn't look like a place for gang activity, but still not a place that i'd want to live around.
As a person who has walked through actual hoods, this is nothing. Nice looking buildings, minimal trash on the ground, only saw one boarded house, lawns are well kept. I guess the definition of "hood" is different in the south. 😂
This is paradise compared to South Central Los Angeles Hoods or Watts...no burned down cars no garbage everywhere no homeless people/crack heads hanging out in street corners..this is actually liveable
Mechanicsville may not be the best neighborhood but there are much worse. I would say the worst in Knoxville is Lonsdale but compared to the hoods in larger cities, it is Disney World.
I don't think you know what a hood is. This looks like the majority of my city Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Either things have gotten a lot better since I was a kid-even for the most poor-or Knoxville's worst areas are the norm here in my town.
This is way better than Google Earth street view.
damn, glad im not the only one that did that too
it's good to see the old hood I had not been home in 30 years if you live in Tenn. in the 70 or 80 I wood like to talk to u email is ninasix35@Gmail.com
I lived here as a kid and it was awesome
@@reeewhydoihavetochangethese lol same
It wasn't so bad that he had to drive through in what sounded like a TANK.
starchief5 lol
🤣🤣
😅😂🤣
This is not a knoxville hood. Try walter p, Western heights, vestal or montgomery village.
mtnboyjohn aye! montgomery village!
mtnboyjohn Knoxville hoods are MUCH, MUCH worse.
Thank youu
Facts these is really the nice houses but he act like it the hood he wont go to the real hood
Yeah it doesn't look that much like a good but it might be
Knoxville is generally a pretty good city with the occasional shooting. Chattanooga is the real city to look at for.
Atlanta and Nashville
Beanos Plays Atlanta yes Nashville ehh. Much more Memphis
my mom is originally from chattanooga, and that city used to be so nice, clean, and calm. idk what happened to it. /:
@@mrcanadian Nashville... Nah... Try Memphis.
Beanos Plays memphis, Atlanta and East Chatt
You must have gotten lost cause you never made it to any Knoxville hood.

Well Knoxvilles in a Gang War RN so it ain't as safe as it once was.
Hood ? , but I only saw 1 couch on the curb & it's garbage day 😅 cleaner than our burbs...

You mean you smell the meth cooking?
@@jacobking4106 Stfu nigga
Terry Foster and bear
Actually,our hood is fantastic compared to other cities.lol
Magnolia is a pretty bad area of knoxville.
The Atom Man ive seen how magnolia ave is its a rough area abd they want to put the run away shelter there
All he had to do is ride up Magnolia
Andan por la avenida macnoli a
A lot has changed though..he made this video a year ago..just like Memphis is bad as fuck but when the city gets involved like they want shit changes
It was once, 1950s, 60s, the main drag into town from the east. That place is totally blighted.
Looks like a pretty ok neighbourhood but I've never been so I don't know...
yea I kinda wanna live there :)
Big L Lmao, the projects are right up the hill from there, he only gave y'all the entry tour frfr.
I live in Knoxville, and he isn’t even driving in the right hood
Big L me too buddy
@@rommytommy7056 ikr thats by downtown and shit
Even the hood looks country as fuck in Knoxville.
Supa Doopa shooters Live there
All you did is drive through Mechanvilles u didn't show no hood smh
Boo The Real it ant the hood no more its houses I live 3 min from there in the dale
I like the driving sounds and how the van sounds bumping around. It's like a white noise for me at this point. These videos relax me lol. Plus all the traveling without leaving home of course. Lol thanks man, great videos. ✌️❤️ From Hawaii
You missed so many areas that are actually "hoods". Go visit Lonsdale, Western Heights, East Knoxville/Park City/Magnolia Ave, Montgomery Village/Vestal
I Grew up on Magnolia Avenue Lol.
I agree bruh went through bogus town. This shit looks like the campus near north side
Thank you. I was thinking the same thing
@@shynagloe541western heights here ✨
Dont forget about ridge brook, townview, the towers , austin holmes
Having grown up In Los Angeles, my perspective is a “little” different. This is more like the bad part of West Covina.
Hilarious! I was born in Knoxville, and live in Covina. 👋 neighbor 😂
Go to Western heights that's the hood
Hey bro what's you doing in my Hood ' we are good people down here. Love and respect are earned!
Thanks for the ride. I haven't been there in over 40 years. I had family that lived there.

somebody tell me if you know is that hood in knoxville is near knoxville college
Yes
Man dis is a bad neighborhood but this is not the hood y'all. I live here
yea that's what i was thinking
looks like a normal place
Lol just come live down here And Think you its sweet. You will see. Dont let looks confuse yall. Shit aint that sweet down
Knoxville has a low black population for a southern city. That’s why it’s not so bad looking.
Dis?
The Knox County school system hasn't improved I see.
actually has realy good school system. few years back all kids that graduate get 2 years for free at community college.
Knoxville has the nicest people I've ever met I hope to visit again someday.
This is way better than those videos where they only show you the nice parts.
That Boy Scoping The Hood Planning His Next Move
This is the hoods??? Are you serious??
That must have been what Channon and Chris saw when they were headed to their deaths.
That’s exactly what bc that’s where it happened
@@Lithu157 This Vid was near University ( Around the Coke-Cola plant ) They were killed in a home off Cherry street ,5 miles away .The area they died in was 90% white , this area is 90-10 black to white .

Charlie, I really enjoy your videos. Your older car is a very good running car and it allows you to travel across the country. You must be a mechanic too? Since you are in Tennessee, you may make it to ALABAMA too. Safe driving and thanks for the videos.
This is a work vehicle I'm in.
Definitely a summer night in fountain city is exactly what I think of as “hood”
FrFr, I grew up on Magnolia tho.
If this is the “hood” in Knoxville, there isn’t a hood in Knoxville. Looks beautiful. Come to my town, Oakland California
There have been fourteen murders this month.
Oakland, Dats Too $hort Land Lol.
Charlibo313- Surprised you haven't done some Atlanta, Birmingham, or Memphis...
Charlie...you should do a video of hispanic hoods in western cities like Albuquerque, tucson, vegas, phoenix, san Antonio
norlens noel for what?
Rico Muerte for what??? To watch
Near the end of your video you were just a couple of blocks away from Knoxville College, which has been abandoned since 2011 I think. That was sure a strange sight when I drove by there a few months ago.
Stay safe is all I can say .
Oh shit, dude, you recorded Knoxville? Did ya go down Gay St. at night? I'll see, I just started watching. I live about an hour from there. Since I live in the middle of no where, everything is 30 minutes to an hour from me.

If you know the ghetto areas, you know shit don't get creepy until the sun goes down.
I love your footage.Keep up the good work,always.
I used to drive a van for a major Health Care Company in Knoxville. I recognize some of these streets but it's been a minute! BTW was one of those streets Cecil Avenue? I thought I recognized it!

LOL hood? that is a laugh Montgomery village is the worst mechanicsville is a decent place now since they built all of those new duplexes and homes lol Knoxville is not as bad as you make it out to be.................
This area looks better than most of your videos. Don't know about crime. The house and area I left looked good but crime was rising fast.
Great narration..derp
That ain't the hood or anything that's rude i live there we don't even get much crime
What type of rig you drive ?
I smell frustration and cocoa butter.

Weird to me driving 🚘 opposite sides of the road to the UK.
Aaah......That was a peaceful journey. Very nice.
...loved the dogs playing in the yard so cute!

I grew up in hud housing. I remember for a chunk of my childhood I lived in western heights right infront of Beaumont. There was this asshole teacher there named Ms. Krupsky
Coming from someone born and raised in Knoxville knows this is not the hood at all😂😂😂
Wheres this around Magnolia?
so,is this on the way to the hood?Is the hood in the next video?
I've never had an issue anywhere in Knoxville.
I did from juss bein a white kid and Growin Up on Magnolia Avenue Lol.
So why Charlie driving up and down Mechanicsville? Why he didn't go to Lonsdale? Or Montgomery Village? And don't get it twisted...some parts of W. Knoxville becoming hood, too
This looks to me like a place to make some money say mowing lawns. It does look like a-little bit poor but not real poverty. This doesn't look like a place for gang activity, but still not a place that i'd want to live around.
A lot cleaner than the other hoods.
Where's the damn commentary???
Nah that ain’t the hood
WHAT AREA ARE YOU IN ! I HAVE FAMILY THERE AND I DON'T T RECOGNIZE THES3 SEE SEE STREETS?
definitely not a hood.
As a person who has walked through actual hoods, this is nothing. Nice looking buildings, minimal trash on the ground, only saw one boarded house, lawns are well kept. I guess the definition of "hood" is different in the south. 😂
You giving a tour of the wrong place friend east Knoxville is where it's at
Yup, East Magnolias My hood Lol.
This is paradise compared to South Central Los Angeles Hoods or Watts...no burned down cars no garbage everywhere no homeless people/crack heads hanging out in street corners..this is actually liveable
My Mamaw drives through there all the time
And it’s kinda scary
This looks like a wealthy suburb compared to the hoods in Philly. Go drive through Camden NJ - you'll see what a hood is.
Mechanicsville may not be the best neighborhood but there are much worse. I would say the worst in Knoxville is Lonsdale but compared to the hoods in larger cities, it is Disney World.
What the hell are you driving? A pinto? That rattle in the background would have me driving out of the hood and into the scrap yard.
Would like to talk to u about a few things if that would be ok
What quite , clean place I love it
I don't think you know what a hood is. This looks like the majority of my city Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Either things have gotten a lot better since I was a kid-even for the most poor-or Knoxville's worst areas are the norm here in my town.
Gals at the 1:46 mark needed to be asked some questions. Why were they using the sidewalk instead of the street to walk on?
Have you ever up been north a bit from Knoxville in rocky top/lake city? Pill heads everywhere
