I find these videos a tad disingenuous, the "Neighborhood Guy" slows down in the sketchy parts of Newburgh and then circles that particular area for impact, but then when the area is getting nice he speeds up because it isn't so dramatic, for example when you made the quick left on Liberty you immediately edited out entire stretches of areas that are on a tremendous upswing, where buildings, homes, and businesses are being remodeled, built new and thriving with bars, bistros, art galleries and a fledgling music scene starting to grow if your schtick is to dramatize the negative then I get it, but you should either be honest in your cinematography or have a disclaimer saying that you are only over-dramatizing the sketchy parts of town. Are there sh#t areas? Yes. Is Newburgh also in its entirety experiencing a wonderful and accelerating renaissance? Also yes! Newburgh is a city with amazing architecture and insane potential and has at least 5x the potential that its cross-Hudson rival Beacon (One of the best-reviewed Towns in the entire U.S.) has!
Bro in fairness nobodys on here to look at mansions n bistros n yuppy gentrification n art gallery hipster retads ruining authenticity in hoods ...he doin rite thing
If you are white you best be carrying an AK or Thompson in most parts of Newburgh. Better yet stay the hell out altogether. No not a racist but just calling it like I see it. Born and raised there so I know what I'm talking about. Stretches of Liberty street on tremendous upswing?? Ok if you say so, I still stand by what I just said.

Newburgh has so much potential, it's sad to see so many buildings run down and vacant. Empty lots could be turned into neighborhood parks where needed and other vacant lots given to developers if they agree to build on those lots within a certain time period.
Years ago we knew older folks that lived there.. Visited a few times. We live in Connecticut and could drive home the same day.. It was nicer then than it is now.. Very bad now... Sad..
in the northeast, big cities like nyc and boston sucked the economy straight out of the smaller cities an hour away. just recently, these cities started to see a little TLC after the prices for the big cities got WAY too expensive. but these places still have a long way to go.
@@edgar-iq2ci prior to 2008 recession, you could get a job in most areas. once the recession started, and work started to dry up, people who once lived and worked outside of the big cities, now headed to the big cities, in search of work. more people started to leave their areas to move to those big cities as well, to be closer to work. this started a lot if new building and gentrification. which created a bustling economy in the big cities, while the regions outside continued to lose more population and more jobs. it's just a theory I have, but never really confirmed.

I spent a week there in 1984 as part of a school exchange program. I don't recall it looking anything like this. From what I remember it was pretty upper-middle class. Maybe they kept us away from these parts, or the city fell into a serious decline.
Upper-Middle Class my ass! Newburgh is an Upper Middle-Class Ghetto! The parts they kept you away from is your own ability to see, feel and accept your own Ghetto-Hood!
My dads store is somewhere in this video Ik that for a fact but I was gone have to live here when I was born but my momma didn’t want me to live in the trenches so I could have a better life
What really makes a neighborhood like this successful is a energetic small business segment. Sure it is nice to have a large factory, hospital or financial group employing the residents but that is not the case here. The residents commute to jobs elsewhere and they spend their money elsewhere. Old business fronts abound and they are mostly closed. Few corner Deli's and few areas for recreation. That's my impression am I off base or is my evaluation accurate?

Newburgh was going downhill slowly
It started to be the beginning of the end in 1986 when crack hit the weakened city and started destroying it
These are the worst parts though
