Wilmington Delaware Hoods - Murder Town SMALL BUT DANGEROUS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- Today we are in Wilmington, Delaware which is the largest city in the state of Delaware. Like nearby Chester, Pennsylvania it was founded by the Swedes and is in fact the first Swedish settlement in North America.
Wilmington is a small city, overshadowed by the Goliaths around it such as nearby Philadelphia and Baltimore but when there it has it's own big city feel. Today the city has a population of 70,000 down from it's peak of 112,000 in 1940. It's the same sad story with Wilmington as in most other American cities, by 1950 the population began to shrink as companies left for greener pastures elsewhere. However the city's population stabilized in 1980 and has stayed constant for 40 years....essentially being stagnant.
25% of the population falls below the poverty line and crime has historically been an issue as the city consistently ranks as one of America's most dangerous cities. Today we drive around the city's most notorious neighborhoods to get a glimpse into daily life in Wilmington known locally as "Murder Town" .
There was a lot to film so this is the part 1 of 2.

Wow, I didn't know Wilmington is like this. Looks just like Camden and certain parts of Philly.
Yea the culture in these cities are very similar, I live in south bridge Wilmington and I’m originally from Philly, damn near same city, not as much crime as in Philly but if it’s the same size it would be
Alot of ppl didn't know. Should of seen it in the early 90s and 2000s...
The 90s across the whole country was pretty wild ngl this dont even look that bad fr @daquanmcdonald7104
@@daquanmcdonald7104Pollock pj's and the brick boarded up community at the end of the video was a lot alike in the 90s I was in both lol 💪🏾
It’s crazy how similar Delaware and Baltimore looked if it didn’t read the title I would have thought you was in east Baltimore at some parts
Nah fr
Is it because in Baltimore are you seeing was black Brothers on every block these Brothers got
Yup bmore, Wilmington, Camden, and Philly all look alike
@@yeadoe6627 I kinda see where you coming from but Philly and Camden don't look nothing like this or Baltimore Iv been all through those cities one thing i can agree on they all get busy I use chill here in 1999 in that brick projects at the end of the vid it use to be super duper active major drug hub alot people died in this city
Pollock pj's in Camden nj and the PJs at the end of the vid use to be alot alike back in 99 i use to frequent both a lot lot shouts out to both cities 💪🏾✊🏾
Compton Towne House Apartments!! We used to play football in the church yard! Bancroft Middle School, boys club, summer camp at the YMCA! Back in the day, the homies Marcus mom used to sell cups of frozen Kool aid and we would take it and eat from the bottom cuzz the flavor was there. I remember one time he hit his head on the brick wall of the church and couldn't remember who he was for a couple minutes. Damn back in the day! I went from Compton Village and some how ended up in Compton California. Destiny
I went to Bancroft

I was born in Wilmington, DE, and seeing all of these places again are making me get all choked up.
Southbridge…
Eastside…
Governor’s Printz and Riverside…
This type of footage has become an urban trope along the northeast corridor. They all have a very similar look. Seems like such images help to define a long and complex post colonial history where so much potential for greatness continues to be unrealized.
Looks very akin to cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore and even Pittsburgh to a certain extent.
@@MEEZYFROMPG all the same
Yup north east is the ghetto of America 🤦🏽♂️
Lol they all border my state nj we started it first 💪🏾
Every time I miss my beloved home I check one of these videos out for a reminder of why I left.
Every state has hoods. You dum
Subscribed.I was born and raised in a small town. Thank God. But even small towns are being infected with drugs/alcohol and hopelessness. 😢
So true. Inner city problems are no longer just inner city problems. Thanks for subscribing and watching. Please feel free to suggest places for me to visit.
Wow ! They really cleaned the place up. I delivered mail for 18 months on the lower east side. Thats where this vid starts. Back in the 90s. So much nicer. Also did Southbridge. This is nice compared.
Starting at 0:08 the guy sitting by himself at the corner on the right side of the screen......speaks volumes in terms "NO HOPE". Sincere prayers that things will get better for everybody. We all have different paths to walk but things have to get better 🙏, especially when people really try hard!
How you know he's not waiting for bus? 😄
that’s my uncle who’s since passed … stop assuming what you see in a small clip
Everybody is outside lol. Gotta be careful in these poor small cities. These people have nothing to lose.
Waiting on a cone up
At least they go outside unlike,most humans nowadays
I'd rather be friends with these people than discord mods
They have nothing to lose but they life. 😀
I saw a guy walking with his little girl. Most of these people are just like us; they have families and friends and just want to live in peace, habe bread on the table, and some money to afford themselves some sense of luxury or entertainment. The majority of crime in these areas is committed by a very small group of individuals.
They just don’t have any opportunities. There are plenty of people who grew up in middle-class families and couldn’t cut it in today’s society.
The struggle is indifferent to class; it’s just more pronounced at the bottom of the socio-economic strata.
have you done Anacostia, neighborhood in DC?
Coming very soon. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
lol bro refused to leave the projects! I promise you 3 blocks away in any direction it’s much nicer 😂
Make some vids in maryland fam (baltimore, hagerstown)
Absolutely. Baltimore videos coming soon. Stay tuned and thank you for watching.
@@ghettomericaSevern and Annapolis too
Wilmington , Delaware is not a bad place to live . ❤ , 🙏🏽.
It ain’t good either. Nobody should wanna live in Wilmington 😂
You crazy 😂😂😂
lol they literally showed the worst part of the city
@ 10:58...
Thank u bro for driving safe !!
The parent of the boy who ball rolled in the street is why there are kids getting hit in the street..
proper supervision or taking him to a safe place (park) fenced in yard is a NECESSITY.
I was grateful that it was me driving at that moment and not a drunk driver or stolen car. Thank you for watching.
In all actuality this is pretty tame to some of the hoods in Tampa, FL. Sulpher springs and Robles park is a lot worse. You can’t even sit outside more than five minutes in sulpher springs without hearing gun shots. The caption made it seem like it was a lot worse than what it looks like.
I wouldn’t be so fast as to compare hoods, the hood is the hood, regardless of what you see, and don’t see and regardless of what you hear and don’t hear. There are days when I can walk through Brownsville in Brooklyn, and then there are days where I wouldn’t go within half a mile of that place. I’ve been in just about every hood in this country, and while I would say, some places are probably a lot worse than others, I will say that every hood has one thing in common. For the most part, if you come through with a purpose and you don’t bother someone, Most likely, they won’t bother you unless you give them a really good reason to do so
@@yell0wberryexactly people are so intrigued with the hood it's ridiculous
@@yell0wberryexactly..
Don't judge a book by its ridethrough.
Lol bro it’s daytime and don’t get it confused you will get shot in broad daylight in wilmington
Whoever is recording this did there research because they know this area very well. Going up-and-down the wrong murder streets sometimes twice like they bout to finish somethin. Must be a FED or a frequent customer driving around in a unmarked car during a Sunday afternoon.
Well, from living in the hood, one of the many things I’ve learned, is that the people who will almost never get touched are the following: the Mormon guys who walk in pairs, the social worker, who is responsible for everybody, being recertified for their benefits, the probation or parole officer, going to see someone, and, of course, the warrant squad. And, of course, everybody seems to conveniently disappear off their steps once they know Jehovah’s Witness is about to show up.
Right jus spinnin thru east side south n river
@@yell0wberryright. They hate their own more than anything
Damn !!! 😮😮😮 !!! Thank you for riding through South bridge. 😊 .
Blocks i walked when i was a kid in the 80s being from Wilmington its not as bad a depicted
Yea i know it’s WORSE
@ You sound like your proud of that
Lived there 35 years! Everytime i go to visit nothings changed. Most i grew up wit is dead, gone or in jail! I dont miss it!
The way I used to live here 😭 and the house in the thumbnail I used to psss every day, I remember all these houses when I used to walk with my cousin
It is no more dangerous than any other city with the same problems with no resolution in place to begin change. There are always nicer neighborhoods where we all live that are not afflicted or plagued with the situations you are surrounded by. There is no perfect place to live you have to look for better neighborhoods within your city.
Love my city Wilmington De
Delaware , Wilmington …… was beautiful , however it have change. Wilmington is a big part of Delaware …. North Wilmington is not like that . I live here . I referred to these part as Downtown Wilmington . The court hoses are in that area as well , train station and other Business …. Cops station . Is very sad 😢 .
Dang what parts are these look familiar ngl bro
So many nice vehicles, so many run down, boarded up houses. How is that?
Drug dealers
Nope@@charli.reesee7415
That hood like quiet in the daytime but Riverside is one of the hardest hoods in this city at least it used to be.
Scary video tour of the Wilmington hoods, full of shady characters and gangs, no-go areas especially at night !
New projects across street from old projects hope housing are also across the globe
“They wanna redesign the projects so we get comfortable”
i live in wilmington....from one street to the next it can be good, bad, then ugly.....no excuse...i'm poor and on disability..i live ina one bedroom apartment but i clean up after myself and take care of things....no excuse for the filthiness and uncleanliness......generational curse to the 3rd and 4th generation....sad...they need Christ john 3:16
Amen 🙏🙌
@@mcarlkv53 it reminds me JC
my beloved delaware
Once a very strong Black community, where our drs,teachers and restaurants and rich cultures now re gentrification in every city where people once thrive😢😢
East side is like the trashiest part of Wilmington period and is only but so big. The whole video is almost all on one part of Wilmington
The architect who designed Philly, definitely influenced Camden , Wilmington , Baltimore and trenton
Wrong .. I’m not from none of those places .. but the architect that designed Delaware first because it’s the 1st state correct?
@ no. Philadelphia is significantly older than wilmington . Philadelphia was 1682 , Wilmington wasn’t until the mid to late 1700s
@@mrwalkyoudown2175 but Delaware is the first state correct ?
@ yeah wilmingtons not the first city
Wilmington is just Philly extended.
And south Jersey
It looks terrible in Wilmington Delaware
Looks like the plywood business is booming.
Was that a gunshot at 2:54
yeah
Eastside!!! 9th n Lombard!
My home city love&hate type situation
With a bulldozer presented at the beginning of the video and hashed these buildings, all boarded up, that only means that everything out there is going to get demolished in the years ahead, giving away to luxury apartments. and high priced condos. Enough to price all of these residents out of their homes to try and find somewhere else to live. in related news, I seemed bothered by the fact that there’s a bunch of one-way streets in an area whose streets are wide enough for two cars to go opposite ways.
Yup . They already started.. some of the homes you seen in this video are no longer standing btw...
All the money going into homeless services, Cooperative housing to revitalize existing housing stock, while creating more green spaces, Community Gardens. Obviously not a bank sector priority. While a few have unlimited credit to lose billions of dollars as a tax write-off, Financial expertise and advice is paid up front with financial gain for those creating the scheme to be followed by bankruptcy, and tax write-offs, money that was never theirs at all. Utility upgrades to furnaces of high-efficiency resulting in lower bills with volume discount pricing and apprenticeship education. Devastated not by annual hurricanes covered by insurance, old age has no coverage even though policies must be paid. Suburbia is heavily subsidized, endless freeways and Roads. The private-public Partnerships profiting a few Developers, should extend to every homeowner on this video, with grants to restore the affordable housing we already have, in need of love and financial support where is HUD? Something Marjorie Greene surely would oppose.
We are demanded total allegiance to a disposable society.
Lol lot of people never talk about here one thing for sure two things for certain dont sleep on this city in DE love to ill will 💪🏾🖤
Alot of thses places are getting gentrified slowly but shortly. Hence all of the borded up homes.
I didn't know that Wilmington was so ghetto
Ghetto is an understatement
@@ProdbyGrimeyredamen to that lol
@@ProdbyGrimeyredna use to be lol
@@GeorgeAdamslll still super ghetto
@@ProdbyGrimeyred 💯% correct
I was born/raised in Wilmington and it's no different than any other city...some places you can go others you shouldn't... don't talk about my hometown bad
What are the top 10 crime cities in our country, over thousands of cities? Is Wilmington, Delaware, even comparable to Cleveland, Ohio, which tops in the top ten cities for the highest crime rate over thousands of cities?
@@wisewizard8858 gotta another one talking about Cleveland bro how big is Cleveland compared to Wilmington Wilmington would be a small neighborhood in Cleveland that nobody from Cleveland could go to lol
okayyy. yeah there are people. yeah places are boarded up. not once in this video do I feel threatened. can't assume all these people are homeless-addicts-violent offenders.
Ya ass would get robbed asap.
Oh, you didn't feel threatened while sitting on your futon watching TH-cam, eating Cheetos?
@@AhFuhgettaboutithe's actually eating ruffles dipping them in sour cream
Yea you drawn u should come down here n find out
Man this like 3 hoods where westside!!!!
new castle? newark?
Newark doesn’t have any hoods 😂but ig u could say new castle has some grimy neighborhoods but nun too bad
@@FromNewarkNJandBeyond I’m not talking about Newark nj bruh that’s where I’m frm and it definitely has hoods , brick city all the way 💯. I’m talking about Newark Delaware doesn’t have hoods because that’s where I live 😂
@@FromNewarkNJandBeyond there’s a Newark in Delaware as well and it’s mainly suburban and white folks here.
@@FromNewarkNJandBeyond ik it’s cool tho , Delaware Isn’t really a known state but the city of Wilmington is kinda known and reminds me a lot like Newark nj
@@1yuungkil168Newark de and bear de are start to become bad cuz they’re gentrifying Wilmington, Sarah, pushing all the slums and bad stuff down that way
Maryland Avenue ❤
And you can rent a place in one of these hoods for 1700 dollars!!! Smh!!! Shits crazy how they buy these boarded up homes for 50k, fix them up just to try to rent them out for 1700-1800 a month. Just to dodge bullets, have crackheads break into your house and cars and fucked up streets😢😩
Look like if Baltimore and Philly had a baby
Seems like he went down the same block 20 times
Who else thought this was Wilmington but from Cali
Proverbs 28:28
“When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.”
King James Version (KJV)
Take a tour through Chicago’s hoods . 👀 !!!
Chicago hoods are weak.
Chicago is just the second or third biggest city
Little Baltimore 💀
I'm from Philadelphia and I hate the fact that people talk about Wilmington Delaware like it's really that bad they just want the black people out of Wilmington which is f***** up and whoever took this video could have had enough respect to block people faces
Wilmington is literally a smaller Philadelphia, 25 mins apart what makes you think it wouldn't be bad????....
Yes. We want the Homo Erectus out of Wilmington.
I’m from wilmington. It’s bad, bro.
You see the number of violent crimes that happened in this small inner city bruh??? Your Half side of town is still larger than our entire inner city.. put it like this... if you in shit around here... watch ya back because you will catch one around here if you think it's sweet.. it's not. If you live here.. you will find out.
Seriously is Wilmington that dangerous? I had no idea until i read some of these comments. My brother best friend moved there with his wife. They seem to like it there. Please explain where all of this crime and violence stem from thanks.@daquanmcdonald7104
