    Older relatives told me that Willow Street actually used to be pretty nice, back in the 1950's and maybe into the 1960's. Even today some of the big houses on the north end of the street past the firehouse are decent.

      They didn't build ghettos and ask people to come lol, all cities were mostly beautifull at first until the industry that made it thrive became obsolete, the ghettos were always for lower income (and hard working) factory workers, but not Section-8 gangbanging projects they would later become

      It's a shit hole. I lived there for years. The best place is Town Plot or Bucks Hill. All the far outskirts. The rest from Scott Rd to Willow and all in between. There's been more murders and shooting then ever now. I live in New Haven and I can tell you this, waterbury is like a lil Detroit. We have more shootings where I live, but also nice sections. Waterbury is just ugly, and the sun never shines even when it does. Depressing AF. I worked mr happys as a bouncer in 2004. The police are underfunded there. 20 years ago I caught 2 cases. Cops elverywhere. I don't even see them whenever I go thru now. They got me rght off Willow St in his video on Chestnut at Brick City. Don't move there if you read this. Rents cheap for a reason.

    I have driven on the highway through Waterbury for decades and always wondered what it looked like in that area by the tower. I knew a woman back around 2014 who was 94 years old then and she answered so many questions that I had. Regarding crime, she said that most people didn't have valuable items in their homes and burglaries were unheard of. Waterbury was a booming town during WWII as the city made so many brass items for the military from shell casings to hardware on ships. Brass factories worked around the clock 24/7 and so did the movie theaters, clubs, and restaurants. When WWII was nearing 1945, the factories shut down quickly and Waterbury began its decline.

      In the sixties, Waterbury was named, "the brass center of the world", headed by Anaconda Brass, just south of Willow Street, on Meadow. My friends, and I, were allowed to walk downtown, to visit Howland Hughes coffee shop, at the age of 7. That's where the book, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", was based. (He called it Walgreens, at One-East Main, but that building did not have a lower level, elevator, coffee shop, or phone booths.)

    • @TrenchbabyMel203

      Just like any factory city in CT the factories close and the neighborhoods suffer because all the people that worked at the factory live near by. Then people find other means of survival. Some of these factories that closed almost 100 years ago still stand. My great grandmother worked at the Winchester factory on Winchester ave it still stands. They turned half of it into luxury apartments but before that it was just there.

But in 2012, she had to get out of there cause of the people who wanted to steal the pipes in the house. Waterbury used to be decent when I was growing up. It's so sad to see what it has become.

    It got so bad, even St Margaret's church and school, shuttered the doors and sold the land and buildings off. I went to grammar school, there, and received an excellent education. Though I left the Catholic Church, finding it impossible to reconcile their teachings with reality, I hated to see it sold. It's on the right, at about 10:50, at Ludlow St and Willow. This was a great neighborhood, to grow up in, in the sixties and into the early seventies.

    I lived off of Grove St (Second Ave) and worked EMS in Waterbury from mid 80s to early 1990s and believe me, that neighborhood wasn't that bad at all. Yeah, alot of hookers and some drug dealers. But I can give a list of other neighborhoods that were 25 times worse. Never had a problem walking at any time of the day. But, less than 4 blocks away was the North Square. Went to more shootings and stabbings there in one month than I ever did in the Willow/Grove street area.

    It is what you make of it. Good people and bad are everywhere, some of the worst places I've lived were white crime 24/7. Bristol is no better than Waterbury, no better than Watertown, drugs are fkn everywhere. Blame O'Leary for allowing this blight and NY absentee landlords coming in and letting our city fall to pieces. The mayor needs to go and take the lazy ass cops who don't want to ticket people littering. I'm sorry they may not want to earn their paycheck, but that's part of the job and they could be making bank for the city to fix this shit. We all need to work together to fix this but absentee every ones are not helping!
