- We are still in exploring Newark, NJ arguably one of the most notorious cities in the country and definitely on the East Coast. Today we will be driving through parts of the South and West Wards historically it's worst areas to see how things are today. Newark is surrounded by wealth and prosperity, with Manhattan only being 16 miles east, and Jersey City practically next door it's a wonder it's taking so long to trickle over. We drive along Bergen Street, Clinton, Hawthorne and Avon Avenues and eventually get over to Springfield Ave passing landmarks and hot spots along the way. Newark was/is known for it's dilapidation, crumbling infrastructure, menacing public housing and just flat out being lawless. The city is trying to make strides in all these areas. We are very familiar with the city of Newark and have been visiting this area for years so we can see the change. This is the best the city has looked and most functioning the city has ever been (in my lifetime). My question is, will the city continue on upward path? Does this look like an inviting city to you? Would you live here? Newarkers, please let me know what you think, is the city on the right track? There will be a part 2 and 3 to the series so please let me know if there is an area you'd like too see. Please Like if you LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and leave as MANY COMMENTS AS YOU'D LIKE. Thank you for watching and most importantly ENJOY!

At the beginning is Weequahic section of Newark. If you could only transport 60 or 70 years earlier, this would have been a shining ritzy neighborhood.
It looks like he driving through early in the morning. Ain't nobody really outside.
for anybody that knows what Newark was like just 15 years ago (not even that far back)… you would be impressed with this improvement
1000%. Thank you for watching
Facts!
Yes - it is 1000% percent better!
@@Daughterofsantini yep! I assume you spent much time there in the past as well … so you would understand - people even forget the murder rate was always in the top 5 with Camden for yearsss in the late 90s and 00s ….
the murder rate there is still not “good” by any means haha - But now when I go back or even drive through, I instantly feel safer than in the past
However…the westward of Newark is still pretty bad and still needs some help/work done … but even the westward is less of a violent sh*t hole these days! and thats saying a lot!
Lets hope more improvements keep on coming to our city and what was supposed to be (and once was) NJ’s “mecca” lol
@@ghettomerica anytime bud and thanks for exploring and giving a good honest look of our city
Newark mlk blvd aint nothing like JC JC the only place iv seen with a mlk blvd thats super active like it is you should compare every mlk street in every east coast cities so somebody can prove my theory wrong
Newark will fully thrive again. I'm from Georgia. Went to Newark for a job interview. Everyone I met from the cab driver to the people in the diner I ate lunch at was extremely nice. They all loved my Southern accent and I loved their New Jersey accents!
never unless "black flight " takes hold .....
@@pedopete-w8t It’s interesting where are these kind of comments on videos of Kensington section of Philly? Why is it? Because the majority of addicts are WP?
@@mansamusa9465 it was 🤣hole when i was 12 its still a 🤣thole
cry all you want
@@mansamusa9465 Most of the addicts might be white, but who is selling the poison?
🧢🧢🧢
I dove on some of those streets today, on my way to Montclair. Its not as bad as it was 10+ years ago. Its definitely not a Zombie apocalypse like Philly is...
I grew up in Mtc. Gentrification priced my fam out in about 2004. I lived in an area called the Hollow which was all black growing up, but not anymore. That said I used to cop my weed on Springfield and S 17th st and that area looks why better in this vid than it did in the early 2000's. Montclair lost its soul
@@ryanh2479yea da hollow is really only whites now few black people on the block but not what it was like you said back then
Love looking at these Real insights into how the US GOV treats its folks.
I've visited NYC a few times .travelling on the Underground to Stillwell Ave etc.
But seeing the way things are really run down and decaying is sad. For all of you people struggling what ever creed or color ONE LOVE ❤from a UK citizen
Our Government sold it's soul and sold out the American People a long time ago
Omg this is a walk down memory lane! My grandma lived on Seymour and clinton ave. I used to go to blessed sacrament school right by Osbourne
Same here - my grandparents were on 129 N. Clinton😇
Next time you gotta go thru the number blocks, not the aves!😉
This place looks like Beverly Hills compared to Kensington. To be honest Newark does not look that bad.
Newark has improved a lot. This is the best the city has looked in my lifetime. I may do another Newark video or 2 before summer is up. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching.
I used to live in Bloomfield and I remember Newark. Pretty scary at night. But it looks a lot better than it did 20 years ago. I haven't been in NJ for years now. Glad it looks better than Philly. Philly was bad.
Same here. I grew up in Union and lived in Bloomfield for 10 years before retiring and moving to Florida. I worked in Newark for 30 years.
Did black people work in US or just drink and smoke on the streets?
I’ve been living in Newark all my life it’s not where you live. It’s how you live, but these people like to live like trash, tear down their communities and blame it on everyone else but themselves.
i don,t like ghetto,s actually accourse its to much despair with this places normally. but i do like some of the graffity-art of this area,because it,s very beautyfull and very respectfull wellmade art and light up a little bit this normally not so bright places with beauty and love for those people living there with mostly more than average-difficulties and challenges to face within their lives!
We try 😊
Look at the park/golf course..bodies pulled out all the time
Yeah our projects are TOTALLY different lol
It will take a little more time, but I can see palpable changes for the better in the past 8 to 10 years.
Great video keep up the good work. 🇺🇸👍this is my old neighborhood.
In grew up in the Dayton Street Projects back in the day. I was born in 69 and lived there until 89. Back then, Newark was a cesspool. Straight up ghetto in every way you can imagine. Including seeing a baby in diapers alone at 2:00 am walking either in the hallways of one of many buildings or right out in the street. That was normal. Most of the time you could get any kind of drug you could imagine the but every once in a while, me and my boy would head down to the Fire house on Avon Ave and we'd get a few "sets." Does anyone remember those? It was two pills, one said Ciba on it, the other was either a Tylenol 3 or 4. Those were the shit back in da day. We also would head down 16th and Sty and pick up some "dust" thats what we use to call it. Shit was crazy. We'd smoke it and trip for a while listening to music all blitted, 😂. On Saturday nights we would go to Twin City Roller Rink right up the street from my building really. We have fights with guys from other project's that would come down and start some shit, lol. Yeah, it was chaos.
the hits, they had them on summer ave and the buildings by 21 in n newark, before the dope hit the streets!
My family has a long history with Newark, dating back to 1894. My father, grandfather, and I were all born in Beth Israel Hospital. Although we moved out of the city in 1964, my grandparents remained until 1972. Even after leaving, my family continued to run successful businesses in Newark until the early 2000s. In the 1930s, when the German American Bund made an appearance in Newark, my grandfather and his friend took matters into their own hands, chasing them down Broad Street with baseball bats while shouting, "Dos iz aundzer shtot", meaning "This is our city".
A few months ago, I revisited downtown Newark after many years. It was a sunny day at noon, and as I walked down Broad Street, I noticed that only a few office workers were on their lunch break. It was apparent that the city was struggling to thrive. My family did all they could to contribute to the town's success. We left behind a strong and thriving community. However, the last 50 years have been a crying shame. Sadly, the city is decades away from making a significant recovery.
The "progressive" Jews were the very first to abandon Newark in the 1950's when the schwartzers migrated from the South. I was Born in Columbus Hospital and spent the first 42 years of my life in a nice house on Lake Street across the Street from Branch Brook Park. Retired in South Florida now.
Yes R.I.P Michael Kenneth Williams 😢 .Born in N.Y. but raised New Jersey. He became a man on the jersey streets. 😊 You'll be missed a whole lot dunn.
visited here last week, to see NYC. Defo a strange place, felt like i was in GTA server with all the drifts and speed chases i was seeing on my first night
Yeah stolen cars the number 2 crime out here
I had to comment on this one. Sad to see Carmel Towers boarded up like this. I remember getting drunk in the lobby with my relative KB, DIP, Tee Top, Red and Moudo. BIP DIP GKB BIP Moudo 440 EA Legend…👌🏾
Bro did you know hozees..used to cut the young ones hair out front?
When the tnt were around we used to meet at the whitecastle
Dude what happened to the towers?
Come to Hartford Connecticut north end. On a nice day. North end Albany Ave, Barbour street Martin street Mather street come see. Hartford just a smaller Newark same timing
I'm from Texas and it still amazes me how so many ppl from up north live in big buildings. We mostly have houses and 2 maybe 3 floor apartments.
That’s y I moved to the south 🤣🤣
Not all of us in NJ live in buildings like this. I’m from South Jersey near the Delaware border in the rural farm area . I have coyotes, turkeys, and deer come out in my yard I live next to the woods. And like Texas we are mostly conservative in our area unlike the liberal North Jersey which borders NYC😎😎👍🏾👍🏾
No I think you’re a typical southerner that just makes an uneducated opinion too fast. Most of NJ is suburban. Actually even half of NYC is sprawled neighborhoods and Long Island and Westchester are all mostly houses. It’s the inner city areas of most East Coast cities that have buildings. I was also in Dallas last week and saw buildings all over and around downtown. Cities aren’t meant to have houses everywhere
@@darrylmuse9948most of north Nj is not all buildings and is just as suburban as southern NJ. It’s the parts of the northern NJ by the Hudson River specifically that are buildings
@@HighfrequencyEntno you moved south because you probably couldn’t afford to buy a house up north not because there was “too many” buildings 😂. Up north is sprawled just like any place in America
By 2045, Newark will be like Hoboken. I kid you not.
Is that a compliment? Hoboken is crappy, cramped over priced city
@@jasminek6632 meaning the poor will be pushed out
If Kamala gets elected we won’t have a country in 2045
Niiice! Stroll through the neighborhood 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾👍🏾 I was hyped seeing some old spots lol thx for that 👍🏾
Newark looks pretty good to me. The streets are paved, the sidewalks are maintained, the traffic lights are functioning, the garbage has been collected, the trees are trimmed and the grass is cut, don't see much or any graffiti, no walking zombies on crack or opioids walking round in the the middle of the day..... I'd say Newark is looking up, better than many many other places in that exceptional country of ours (sarcasm intended). Now if you go Down Neck (the Ironbound section of town, or the East Ward) you'll see a very nice multi-cultural melting pot that's booming with economic activity.
If it looks so nice to you, try walking those areas that look nice to you. Especially at night and if you're white.
@@dannywendel3410 if u white and dont look like a bitch u chillin for sure 😂 gotta have that russian mobsta style 😂😂
Go move there then!
Lol Newark is no nice even areas that were once deemed the nice part of Newark are bad now I know this because I was born and raised in Newark and lived just about every section from North to Clinton Hill.
Not challenging you, but I'm genuinely curious as to what places you'd say are worse in America
That Michael K. Williams graffiti monument is BEAUTIFUL, brought a tear to my eye.
My oldest brother was from newark and them streets consumed him smh RIP Richie Watts
Does Dickie Dees HOT DOG stand still located in Newark?
This place looks like paradise compared to Philly streets in Kensington.
Kensington Street compared to skid row I would love to see
@@MarleneRobinson-q3u
You sure about that? 🫣
I grew up on Cedar Avenue. I was surprised after 20 plus years of being away it still looks the same way. I wonder why hasn't the loyal government cleaning up Newark. Where is the money going?
Hi Abena, good question. Not in the Newark tax payers pockets that’s for sure. And as we can see the city either. Thank you for watching
Pushing money towards people who aren’t willing to help themselves is just a waste of money
Visit Grafton Ave after 10 pm at night and go to the places you should see.
You gotta be specific because they not from Newark . So go to grafton ave projects.. probably the worst projects in Newark since the early 2000’s and they no where near the rest of Newark
Yeah you right im from Grafton Ave... respect
I live in Brunswick but had to have surgery in Newark NJ UMD The nicest Doctors nurses,receptionist I ever met ..Shot out to staff at 150 Bergen st Newark NJ you rock...
NEWARK WILL ALWAYS RISE ABOVE N*GHETTOS THIS WHAT IT MEAN 🤨🤨 YOU JUST TAKEN YOUR WAY THERE ARE NOT NEGATIVE VIBES IAM NEWARK'ER MY SECTION WEE 'QU'WAY MEET THE MOST SWEET PPL THAT
Sad to see all those businesses closed. Perhaps they will vote Red next time. Get well America.
They are all one party, if you truly no about politics.
These people don’t vote
Bullshit I guess Dayton St and Frelinghuysen Ave ain't the South Ward you everywhere even Irvington but not there don't say South Ward if u aint go down there Funny
Newark has potential, the people's are mad cool. However people need to stop throwing garbage on the streets.
I used to cop from the carmel towers..wonder if they still selling?
Many parts of Newark are liquor deserts
I can't help you out with the questions. I live in central eastern PA. I live under the flight path to Newark Airport though.
Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed. Anywhere near you, you’d recommend me visiting or checking out?
@@ghettomerica Sure but I'd like time to think about it. I will get back to you.
I’m bout to sue yall for having me in this video
Most places look okay in daylight
Where was the West Ward by S. Orange Ave.
생생한 영상 잘봤습니다. 😊👍
I’m glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching!
Most people from jersey got family from the south especially Georgia
Don’t be recording me
I'm a Brit from the North of England, which is known to be quite rough and ready in a lot of parts. When I first visited America, I stayed in Manhattan but flew into Newark, and travelling into the city through Jersey was very eye opening. Home felt a lot tamer!
So you just riding around sneak recording people
Ayoo 😂😂😂😂 i he looking to see if im walking in a store on here.
I've seen worse.
Arsonal battle rapper is from here
Tsu Surf too. Many more
Still remember him absolutely bodying Shotty Horroh
year 2000 used to help people apply for charity care in that area Orange/Newark/Irvington etc... blocks and blocks of burnt out buildings... every corner a group of 20 people just milling about... It was a shock coming from California.. i thought this got to be the most F'd up city in America... Huge change now though
Did you go to the projects near 13th Ave?
Are you referring to Bradley Court?
@@ghettomericai think they talking about the ville.
Abandoned homes must have been tore down because I don't see any like I did 30 years ago
You fellas know where I can my hands on some, peep do they call it?
homies be proud to support sinaloa cartel lol
This looks like London England
What camera you using ?
also still sprayed sky
Meh this isn’t that bad. I lived in Indianapolis for quite a while and there’s some hood places worse than this there.
Newark has made major strides in recent years. It’s nothing like it I used to be but still gets nuts. Can’t wait to go check out Naptown. Thanks for watching.
Newark got nothing Going on 🤣 boriing asf tbh
Newark is much calmer than it was and this was definitely a quieter day
33 trilliards de dettes…
is irvington NJ doing ok? im moving to there from puerto rico at the end of this year with my family and im kinda nervous
I’d say it’s not as “nice” as Newark, just look up irvington nj hoods
@@benjamintorres9211, 😭
Move to South Jersey
@@benjamintorres9211Newark is worse than Irvington
It’s good/bad

Pedo pete is a wild name 😂😂😂😂
13:45 This my hood. South Ward. 16th and Avon to be exact. Love my city 🧱🌃
I lone Brick City. Thanks for watching
Newark is a Port City, with an international airport, its 30 minutes out of nyc, and has a population of 350K with an infrastructure capacity for 650K.
With no traffic it’s like ten minutes away lol but that’s rare
I was born in NYC, raise in Newark,NJ and partially raised in Charlotte, NC. I'm from the hood in both cities. I think Charlotte had gotten worse then Newark in the last 10 years; even though it's still building up but dangerous.
My girl from charlotte no but she never said it was bad tho🔥🙌🏾💪🏾
You strolling in the daytime you should stroll down at night around after 9 or 10pm.
Don’t worry I’ll be back around.
Elizabeth Ave
Bull sh-- that is not a getto .
Beware of the # blocks….😂😂😂🙏🏾🚫🚷
