you have to stop giving bad information, not all the people, the neighborhoods are bad, that brings a bad reputation. it is impossible that it can be supported or donated to someone is not honest 🤔not all street in Newark in not danger stop give disinformation
I used to live in Newark over a decade ago. When you're living there you don't realize how bad it is but you know that it's bad. When you move out and you move far away to a suburb and then you look back at what it is that you moved from you realize just how bad it really is.
Bro that shit crazy how different the world really is. Newark is a damn trap. I've seen good people turn bad. Man even friends kill 1 another, Freaking all kinds of foul mindless shit. It's really sad looking back.
Yeah there are a lot of great suburbs in NJ, I grew up one. Crazy to take a drive to Paterson or Newark and see such a stark contrast in a short distance. The state I love has a lot of rough spots, Nick Johnson has some good videos driving in areas that seem to have lost a lot of hope like Camden, Chester. Tough to see but necessary
Me currently. Born and raised in Newark. Moved to the suburbs that's almost 2 hours away and I came back to visit. I couldn't believe that all of it was considered normal to me.
@@gtaiv2993 I don't know man dude living in an abandon house with no windows and a mattress for a front door at 11:28 would probably disagree, i guess it's all relative.
Newark NJ was built to be a mini Manhattan. Back in the day Newark had its own Broadway where the shows from NYC Broadway would actually be shown in Newark first to get the response and feedback so they could rework/improve the show for NYC theaters. Penn Station in Newark was built all the way back in 1935 and it was the main hub for the Pennsylvania Railroads train network. Newark was affluent back in the day as well, don't believe me? Stroll through Forest Hill and you will see some of the most beautiful homes in all of NJ. In fact Newark was such a great place to live people of all races, creeds and cultures lived there together peacefully. You had Italian and Irish immigrants along with Jewish and black folks, it was a real melting pot, a great place to live and grow up. Then the race riots happened and forever changed the face of NJ. Every part of NJ that is now 'ghetto' once had wealthy people living there and had beautiful homes/stores/neighborhoods before the riots. Plainfield, East Orange, Orange, Newark, Trenton, Camden...these were all nice towns with affluent areas that had beautiful homes and bustling down towns. So when you see all the beautiful old buildings amongst the boarded up, bombed out places, just know that Newark was once a beautiful and well respected city. I do believe with the right leadership it could be again. Get all these liars, gas lighters and corrupt people out of government in NJ and Newark will prosper again
You have no idea of which you speak. Forest hills was dramatically segregated, the cutoff was Bloomfield Ave. Puritans founded the colony that would become Newark and I doubt there was any thought as to being a mini Manhattan lol. Stop making shit up. Pittsburgh also has its own theater district with an amazing historical district. Is it a mini Manhattan too? Silly person
It seems like they are trying to build Newark back up again,only because alote of people from NYC is coming here to live as far as I see,it's all about money and politics I think

NJ in whole, was and is and will always be corrupt. The only way to deal with the corruption is leave NJ behind and move out. There is absolutely no hope. Ever. As far as Newark, it should be wiped completely out. Kinda like how Chernobyl is. No inhabitants whatsoever. Folks from Newark attitude "you in my neighborhood, now get out!!!" What I can't fathom is for the ones who do work, many of those have good paying jobs at the busiest airport. Newark liberty international airport. And never leave Newark! It's a mentality in Newark. Prostitution all over and I have literally seen a black man and woman literally engaged in sex over a signal box on the street for every single person to see. I was an uber driver with passengers in my vehicle and the woman passenger was completely fixated on these two. She couldn't take her eyes off of them. As if this is absolutely normal. Sickening. I was almost equally sickened by my passenger. NJ politicians are corrupt to the bone! I think it maybe due to organized crime through out NJ. I dont want to use the "M" word. End of rant..
Dangerous Streets because a lot of punks have guns. This was a beautiful city once, men going to work to support their families. Those are the real tough guys.
So true. My family moved to PA so if I go to this area of NJ, I cannot defend myself from these heathens thanks to NJ Democratic gun laws. Honest people are at a disadvantage while these people can run free
Damn, I don't remember Newark being this run down. Im from paterson and moved out of jersey 10 years ago. I used to spend alot of time in Newark, many friends in Irvington too. I swear you get used to being in the hood. Its normal to you. I used to live in 4th ward, and people thought I was crazy for living there, but it was whatever. MIND YOUR BUSINESS, never ever buy borrow anything even a chair from someone in the hood, keep money out of equation and you good.
Down town you won't recognize looks like Hoboken now. Some projects have been knocked down and replaced with nicer rentals. but yeah alot of places are still run down.
I spent most of the mid to late seventies at 835 Broadway a mile or so from the train overhead train track just before Belleville. I have great memories of Newark and really enjoyed my time there. I remember how the Puerto Ricans used to cook on fourth of July all up and down Broadway. Food everywhere 😋
@@nwrkjrz9735 Lol, we were not allowed to go anywhere near Grafton Ave projects back then. I also remember some kind of factory behind us, maybe leather factory or something. Verona was up the street and Irving was almost in front of our apartment. Great times and friends from Newark. Does anyone remember the big hamburgers at a place called "Gino's "?
Outside of downtown, Newark has really downgraded in the past few years in my opinion. Roads are horrible, and the littering is out of control at this point.
I have to be honest. Flying into Newark Airport doe's not show the true beauty found in the streets of Newark. I saw many houses that were perfect for my family and I. There was plenty of space for my kids to play outside and go to school. Nice parks to walk the dog at night and have a picnic lunch in the summer. I noticed there was a drive by street pharmacy where several drug vendors displayed their wares. My wife and I are sold on Newark. We picked out a couple nice houses during the drive and hope they are still available. Thank you for showing us Newark.
@@adamasimolowo8285 North, I think. I just don't want to be too close to Rt.1 - 9 and listen to all the truck noise. Anywhere except downtown and around Broad St. Too crowded but still lots of nice neighborhoods nearby !
Such an odd mix in the neighborhoods. Run down, burned out and tagged up houses/buildings, turn the corner and nice lawns, clean houses and new cars. Turn the corner again and trash and goons outside.
@@showmestatefinest5412 Funny how people assume anyone can afford those apartments just because they are... apartments. I'm sure those people walking on the streets can afford those. So not middle class. 🙄
@@narata1541 like i said it's far from middle class so miss me with that. It's all based on property value and an area with drugs, burglary, property damage and a high murder rate falls in the low property value range so no middle class 🙄
I flew into Newark airport one time to visit friends in New York and family in Pennsylvania. Got a hotel right next to the airport. My friend in New York was like "wait, you're spending the night in Newark?" I was like "yeah, but it's an airport hotel." He was like "oh, ok, it should be fine then, just don't get too far from the airport." No problems there. That didn't come until my trip was over and I was headed back to the airport to return my rental car. I got off an exit or two early (coming from Pennsylvania) to grab a bite to eat before my flight. I pulled up to a white castle and before I stepped out of the car I could tell the place was packed but there wasn't a single white person in there. And there was bullet proof glass behind the counter. I was like "I don't think I want to go in there." So I opted for the drive through. But I got panhandled by a crackhead while I was trying to place my order. Anyway, I got my food, and went on my way. But it turned out to be one of those exits where you can get off the highway but can't get back on. So I had to try and find an entrance to the airport on surface streets. I thought I had driven into a war zone. There were falling down buildings, dumpsters on fire, and somebody had piled a bunch of old furniture in the middle of an intersection. I had to drive up on the sidewalk to get around it. I thought I was about to be jacked for sure. I've been to the actual third world (Africa, India, Mexico, and Guatemala) and I've never seen anything worse or been more on edge...
That recent? I'm surprised. But its getting slowly turned around. Its getting better so NYers move over from Manhattan & $$$ taxes here! NJ pretty smart. U will see. Sorry for harrowing experience! Now I go to Philly. Kensington the worst but it will rise too.

Home, I currently live in Atlanta but Home is where the ❤ is... By the way, this video was definitely Irvington and not just Newark... My old house on my old block (18th St) @9:34 we use to go all the way on the 3rd floor, smoke our lil weed while looking at Manhattan and the World Trade Center Towers in the far distance. Miss them days.
I'm originally from The Bricks too. Imagine if all the old projects like Prince st, Scudder, Hayes, 7th Ave, Dayton st, Seth Boyden, Lil Bricks, Bradley Court, Baxter Terrace, Brick Towers and Grafton were still up. Now that would be a tour of the REAL Newark. I think the only ones left are Hyatt, Pennington, Crane, The Spires and Georgia King Village. I have great memories growing up in Brick City.
I only seen grove street that's irvington, in this video, that's basically the same streets same people. Everybody know each other. That area it's all hoovers and grape street crips. And that wasn't Manhattan that was jersey city and Hoboken harison and union city you were looking at. I use to think that same thing until i actually seen everything with a telescope lol
@@maximobrown1652 Charlie was definitely in Newark for some of this video. He was on Avon ave and S 10th st at one point of the video. And if Quan ThaGod said that he saw The World Trade Center Towers aka The Twin Towers, it's almost impossible to mistake those two big ass buildings for Jersey City and Hoboken. But yeah some of this footage is from Irvington.
@@al5603 Yeah grove street was irvington. But when i used a telescope, it was all union city hoboken harison and jersey city. I remember when the twin towers got bomb it wasn't showing. I only could see manhattan only if i'm in jersey city or hoboken not from way down this way. It's hella far from here
It’s one thing to grow up poor, like I did but it’s another thing to throw trash on the streets and destroy everything in these neighborhoods for no other reason than to act cool in front of your friends! Parents need to do a better job raising their kids and teaching them that this is what is acceptable and what’s not unacceptable!

Lady this is a niche channel that shows run down inner city areas all over the country. People watch because they are interested in seeing it. Showing where it exists is actually a first step in dealing with it, which is more than you're doing but I'm not a social agency, or a community leader, trained to deal with those issues, I do TH-cam videos, while you sound like an idiot and do nothing.
Reminded me of some scenes from The Wire TV series. I have childhood memories of shopping in Newark's fine stores when I was very young. I grew up in Jersey City. One thing that has always bothered me is how people choose to throw trash on the street, paint graffiti , and make where they live ugly.
To look at this this makes my heart hurt I used to live there I grew up there and then we moved out two years before the riots thank God I just don't understand how a beautiful city turn into it looks like a jungle and everything is just a mess to look at the city
As people's morals decay so goes the cities. Newark, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, LA, SF, etc is a reflection of the lack of morals in the lives of people that live there.
lol im in hvac and I was there at night on the west side lol and I'm white haha it was cool though no one bothered me . as long as you don't bother them they won't bother you
This will sound crazy but Newark was wayyy worst than it is now. It’s actually moving in the right direction under the current mayor. Back in the 90s and early 00s it was the murder capital, car theft capital, drug gangs on every corner, and violence everywhere. It was a dark and scary place.
Some of your film footage was another city. Remember Newark is the Largest city in New Jersey. Newark has been slighted for many years by people that are not even from there. I was born in Newark and grew up in the surrounding area. There are many areas of Newark that are still very nice and Newark is making a comeback. You can go anywhere in the USA and whether you are White, Black , Green .....Folks will tell you that they are from Newark and PROUD OF IT ! I am forever proud of Newark !
I agree I was born in Saint Michaels I went to Franklin School on Park Ave Webster Junior High where there was maybe fifteen of us white kids in the whole school I was raised on Highland Ave and Park Ave now 65 and bring my grandchildren to the old neighborhood just to show them where I will always call home my ashes will be spread on Boot Hill aka Lake Street and Bloomfield Ave
Hello. Thank you for showing how it really is: complete devastation, heaps of garbage, everything is like we have in Russia, except for Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan, where, in fact, all the money from our cities goes ...

My old house on my old block (18th St) @9:34 we use to go all the way on the 3rd floor, smoke our lil weed while looking at Manhattan and the World Trade Center Towers in the far distance. Miss them days.
I'm originally from The Bricks too. Imagine if all the old projects like Prince st, Scudder, Hayes, 7th Ave, Dayton st, Seth Boyden, Lil Bricks, Bradley Court, Baxter Terrace, Brick Towers and Grafton were still up. Now that would be a tour of the REAL Newark. I think the only ones left are Hyatt, Pennington, Crane, The Spires and Georgia King Village. I have great memories growing up in Brick City.
I only seen grove street that's irvington, in this video, that's basically the same streets same people. Everybody know each other. That area it's all hoovers and grape street crips. And that wasn't Manhattan that was jersey city and Hoboken harison and union city you were looking at. I use to think that same thing until i actually seen everything with a telescope lol
Newark and irvington basically the same shit. Live in Newark 30 years. E.O. not much different. All right by 1 another
@@maximobrown1652 Charlie was definitely in Newark for some of this video. He was on Avon ave and S 10th st at one point of the video. And if Quan ThaGod said that he saw The World Trade Center Towers aka The Twin Towers, it's almost impossible to mistake those two big ass buildings for Jersey City and Hoboken. But yeah some of this footage is from Irvington.
@@al5603 Yeah grove street was irvington. But when i used a telescope, it was all union city hoboken harison and jersey city. I remember when the twin towers got bomb it wasn't showing. I only could see manhattan only if i'm in jersey city or hoboken not from way down this way. It's hella far from here
It’s one thing to grow up poor, like I did but it’s another thing to throw trash on the streets and destroy everything in these neighborhoods for no other reason than to act cool in front of your friends! Parents need to do a better job raising their kids and teaching them that this is what is acceptable and what’s not unacceptable!
That is exactly the problem: the parents are even worst compared to the kids.
This brings back memories, I went to Essex County College in Newark and lived there for about 6 yrs. This was in the 90's when it was much worse
Newark is crazy
Understatement lol
Really isn't, downtown and Ironbound are fine
Yes it is. I was parked in Lincoln Park sleeping. Three dudes tried to steal my whip...while I was inside of it!!!!

What a disgrace that there are places like this in the United States of America.
Amen
I'm from NYC and we used to go to Newark to eat portugese food, and buy records.
thank you for liking my country's food
I love your country, food and Amalia Rodriguez. Is that how you spell it?
@@geneytube18 Seriously? Thank you very much! the fado houses have already opened again, were closed by Covid, but there is already fado all over Lisbon, and new restaurants! thanks for the choice. And I also love the US, especially NYC.
@@geneytube18 that's how you say the name of the diva Amália
That's ironbound
My father born 1933 grew up here, he said it was a war zone.
Yes, after the 1968 riots - before that, lots of Italians lived there. Still have quite a few around Bloomfield Ave.
It's a pretty good neighborhood
@@paulsawczyc5019 stop making things up goofy he literally said his father grew up there and it was still a war zone
Newark wasnt bad until the late 60s. He was in his mid 30 already
Somehow they manage to always have nice, newer cars lining the streets though
Lol
Kause everybody in Newark be goin juggin 🥷🏽🥷🏽
Apsolutly right some of the blacks thing having a nice car is cool but they don't have a pot to piss in no class ignorance at it's best
CJ get back to the Grove we need you lol
@@dinoc404 isnt it cheaper to have a car than a house in USA?
Who misses the New Jersey Nets?
Me my whole childhood was there before I moved.
Man you know how many games I went 2. Fuck Brooklyn lol
They was the "Long Island Nets" before they were in New Jersey. 💯
@@alphawolfafrika2740 Long Island don’t need no teams because they are basically part of NYC but NJ is it’s own state
JASON KIDD!!
Honestly Camden makes Newark look like a magical wonderland lol
U are crazy like your name, yur statement is a wrong quote.
Nah Camden has upgraded so much.. looks way better the Newark
Those are nowhere near the most dangerous streets in newark. Just the worst looking ones 😂
Facts bruh
Such a great beautiful town to live and raise a family . The mayors and governors people vote in should be very proud of the hard work to keep it this way ….
LOLOLOL
Like Corey "Hercules " Booker
Bye usa
This is what government dependence looks like
Used to be the car theft capital of the world!
Democrats dystopia
@ 1:39 two drugs deals at the same time in front of everybody, wow!
Democrats stronghold
I used to live in Newark up on 7th Ave when I first moved to Jersey from NY. It was crazy bad.
7th ave projects was war zone very rough spot in the 70s 80s
@@nwrkjrz9735 yes my uncle told me about it
I GREW UP IN 7TH AVE PROJECTS AS WELL AS THE MOST DREADED PLACE IN NEWARK...PRINCE ST. PROJECTS WERE DETECTIVES WERE STRIPPED AND CARS WERE DEMOLISHED, FACTS!
@@tenhebrewexecutioners341 OMG.
I think i heard your GPS in the beginning say “GTFOH NOW!”
Kinda like Detroit but with increased human 'sketch' presence! lol
What is is with these dudes always standing in the roadway, don’t like sidewalks, lol…

@Georgi Georgiev omg ghetto a life, I did not know I need your permission, shut up.
Selling dope
yo thanks for making content i’m sure most of us are too scared to do hope you don’t get hurt while filming
Nothing to fear making content because there are gang affiliations everywhere in the music industry Hollywood and some of the most illicit people are the wealthy socialite elitists politicians as in the Epstein category. They are supposed to be better than those of us here the lower echelon of Newark NJ.

My grandparents bought a home on 14th St in 1950's and my mothers parents in Irvington. I was with with both families, all the time. I tell my children about how we had neighbors who were White and the majority of the students in school were White. They still don't believe me!! So, I showed them graduation books! They still don't believe. When I see both cities now, it's sad!!
My city born and raised, shit is different now #brickcity #973 #newarknj #essexcounty
I lived on Brenner st by the grave yard and seen shoot outs often and the grave yard was a dumping ground for bodies .
Newark: It's like Detroit, on a good day but with higher taxes.
On a good day right. It's probably worst than Detroit. But they are all the same really.
@@bricks-ls1nm I wish that was true but Detroit is one of the worst Newark is safe in comparison
Wrong answer in deed ! No comparison between the 2 cities.
@@virchakaba1964 If you never lived in Newark you wouldn't understand son
@@bluecyclone7077 You go to Newark and see for yourself and I be you change your point of view. Shit were ever there are ghettos it's the same shit everyday.
You wasted $15 in gas showing us the bad, yet you never did anything to combat it. Instead you asked ppl to help this channel when you should've asked ppl to help this community. Stop trying to capitalize off of my ppl's struggle!
Lady this is a niche channel that shows run down inner city areas all over the country. People watch because they are interested in seeing it. Showing where it exists is actually a first step in dealing with it, which is more than you're doing but I'm not a social agency, or a community leader, trained to deal with those issues, I do TH-cam videos, while you sound like an idiot and do nothing.
Not all bad, it’s great city🇺🇸👏
Reminds me of Franklin Park in Detroit where I grew up!
You should pop over to Irvington.
Reminded me of some scenes from The Wire TV series. I have childhood memories of shopping in Newark's fine stores when I was very young. I grew up in Jersey City. One thing that has always bothered me is how people choose to throw trash on the street, paint graffiti , and make where they live ugly.
auh the joy of yet another democratic run city
I got robbed watching this
Lmao
I went there once and got delayed in traffic because of a homicide investigation.
I guarantee you if those people move out the city would fix that neighborhood up
I live in Elizabeth and remembering back in the days when me and my boys would go to Fairmont and Springfield Ave to the weed spot
🚬🐸💨
Sad it still is the same spot
It was beautiful at one time with good hardworking Italian, Irish and Polish. The Afriguns turn everything to shit.
Whats with all the nice cars lol
Prob some narco dollars
@Michael Stygs unemployment is over and you had to have had a job to qualify for it in the first place.
Joggers sling dope
Very dirty area.
I always hear people label New Jersey as the “Armpit of the country “
I live in Elizabeth, NJ. Newark scares me.
Robbed at gun point and nearly physically attacked by a bad man on my way to work at Prudential. 1980.
My grandfather and I were also robbed at gunpoint in 1980 on Raymond Blvd and Chapel Street. They shot my grandfather but he didn’t die, thank God.
Looks like a prime neighborhood for regentrafacation.
That’s exactly what’s happening
To look at this this makes my heart hurt I used to live there I grew up there and then we moved out two years before the riots thank God I just don't understand how a beautiful city turn into it looks like a jungle and everything is just a mess to look at the city
40 acres and a zoo!!
Dats rite!!
As people's morals decay so goes the cities. Newark, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, LA, SF, etc is a reflection of the lack of morals in the lives of people that live there.
all a result of DECADES of democrat leadership.
Nwk isn't that bad anymore
Shiiiiiit
LOL, what planet you living on?
600+ shootings da last 6 months n only 30 days in a month………. N u say it isn’t bad?
Dam that many? Didn't know this info haven't been in nj nwk for three years now but born and raised there " damn wtf is going on in the cities
lol im in hvac and I was there at night on the west side lol and I'm white haha it was cool though no one bothered me . as long as you don't bother them they won't bother you
I was born and raised In Newark and it has changed tremendously to me. I moved from Newark 29 yrs ago and still have friends there
And family
This will sound crazy but Newark was wayyy worst than it is now. It’s actually moving in the right direction under the current mayor. Back in the 90s and early 00s it was the murder capital, car theft capital, drug gangs on every corner, and violence everywhere. It was a dark and scary place.
💯
It was until this year, crime shot back up again💯
Not the worst town in new jersey only because candem exist
I concur.
Paterson just as bad
Camden had 23 murders in 2020, but Trenton had 40 murders. And Camden and Trenton are about the same size. Newark had 51 murders in 2020.
Why dont tgey bulldoze and start over
Bulldozer will get stolen.
Keep voting for democrats
How's that been working out ?
I see you strolling down those number blocks. Springfield and South Orange Ave.
Go throw north Newark Park ave etc
Some of your film footage was another city. Remember Newark is the Largest city in New Jersey. Newark has been slighted for many years by people that are not even from there. I was born in Newark and grew up in the surrounding area. There are many areas of Newark that are still very nice and Newark is making a comeback. You can go anywhere in the USA and whether you are White, Black , Green .....Folks will tell you that they are from Newark and PROUD OF IT ! I am forever proud of Newark !
All of this was filmed in Brick City I was born and raised here. #WhenYouKnow #YouKnow
I agree I was born in Saint Michaels I went to Franklin School on Park Ave Webster Junior High where there was maybe fifteen of us white kids in the whole school I was raised on Highland Ave and Park Ave now 65 and bring my grandchildren to the old neighborhood just to show them where I will always call home my ashes will be spread on Boot Hill aka Lake Street and Bloomfield Ave
Tru dat, I'm from the Iron bound, brick city stand up💯🙏✊
no film
Should just level the whole neighborhood. Turn it into a parking lot.
Why black Americans take pride in the hood i'll never understand.
Suffering from a neurosis along with mommy and daddy issues sadly, not judging in a hateful it’s just what it be
Cuz we be kangz and sheeit, we built duh pyramidz!
Democrat policies on full display...
LET'S GO BRANDON! FJB
Thak you for the films aod best regards from Poland..
Thanks in advance for you reply Creetings. Made in Poland...
А в Польше прав тот, у кого хуй больше.
Am I weird for thinking that it doesn’t look that bad
Hello. Thank you for showing how it really is: complete devastation, heaps of garbage, everything is like we have in Russia, except for Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan, where, in fact, all the money from our cities goes ...
Так выглядит путинская стабильность в россии
Its Alot streets i never been on i been living in newark all my life.
south streets 🖤
South 17th in front of the park.
Land of the free move out or suffer the . consequences .
I had the illest time on Hawthorne st up by the Church .big up Rara Blackmon cliff rip.I love Newark its the real Brickcity
I lived on Izzy in 2015-2016. It was hard but I have a lot of love for that neighborhood. People looked out for their neighbors there.
This only covers a small portion of the city. Doesn’t travel far South, no East, mostly West, no North and none of the Central Ward is covered.
SO-CALLED THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES, YOU NEED AN OVERALL VIEW. NOT TOO MANY WALK BECAUSE OF BEING SEEN AS A MARK UNLESS YOU ARE A RESIDENT
Looks better than Philly I’ll tell you that
Surprised you didn't run into youtuber Street cruise lol
I moved to Newark a few years ago after being priced out of NYC and it’s not so bad. Just gotta know how to mind your business and have the right social skills to deal with the occasional crazy 🤷🏾♂️ But stay off of Broad Street at night 🤣
In New Jersey you need a certificate of occupancy for a change of property owner. Salvaging houses there is just too risky.
An a lot of those owners collected the insurance money then dipped
Nobody will say it out loud but we all know why.
I live in Newark and I have to say it isn't for everybody
Yep that's why after 30 years I had to go. I had kids and was no way in hell was I letting them grow up there 2
Must not be in Forest Hill lmao
