@@SassyAlien The poor parts of PG are poor, yes. But Friendly, Woodmore, Kettering, Ft. Washington and Mitchellville are on the top 10 list of most affluent black neighborhoods in the country.

Yes. He was mistaken about Baltimore. The farther north you go from Downtown the more affluent it becomes. Johns Hopkins, Roland Park, Canterbury, Stoneleigh, Towson, Cockeysville up to Timmonium is called and considered Greater Baltimore. It's the west, east and south of Baltimore that needs the help.

@@n0validusername I lived in OC in the early 80s . It was never "rough looking" Back in the 70s, Frank Sinatra and Spiro Agnew both had places in OC. They would come down for a week or two every year.
I'm born and raised in Maryland, I'm 56 and can tell you OC was indeed a dump late 70s early 80s and dont get off the boardwalk into the side streets, the locals aren't very cool

john Doe North Potomac Maryland, Potomac Maryland, Rockville Maryland, Shady Grove, Bethesda Maryland, North Bethesda Maryland etc you get it from here I think oh and Crown and Rio shopping center has nice neighborhoods right next to Crown too
Sammie D Fort Washington, Mitchellville, Upper Marlboro, Bowie, Friendly, Woodmore, Kettering. Some of the most wealthiest in the country and also black
moved here in Maryland 3 years ago, a very welcoming and diverse people! coming from a homogenious country, I was surprised to see every color and race from all over the world in Maryland.
I've been in Maryland all my life and I do put old bay on everything and I love crabs ....we pronounce it Merlin ...this is a pretty accurate description of Marylands culture and economic situation but dont keep putting Baltimore down because there are lots of rich people in Baltimore and PG County is black and the wealthiest african American county in the nation....
Everything in this video is incorrect. You chose to show the one bad street in Baltimore and made it seem like that’s the whole city with no mention of the other wonderful neighborhoods and culture here. I’ve lived in the city for over a decade with no issues. And some of the names you are calling people in the rural areas and eastern shore I’ve never heard of in my life. You obviously made this video having no knowledge of the state at all.
Baltimore has more than one bad street. It used to be a great city once but poor leadership is leading it to ruin. The only good parts re the neighborhoods along border from west to north to the east.
Right, he chose to only show the bad streets. All the areas he circled are nice neighborhoods. He knows nothing. And no mention of Fells, Fed hill, Canton, Patterson Park, all nice areas.
It is honestly impressive how well Montgomery county is wrong. It doesn’t get enough credit. They have an amazing recycling program and no landfills in the county, they instead have an energy transfer station, look it up. Besides that, their libraries are beautiful and the county programs are very well run. Their community college is probably one of the best in the entire country. It’s a great place to live.
University of Maryland is in PG county! MGM Casino is in PG County, as well as Bowie State, the National Harbor, NASA Goddard space Center. Don’t sleep on PG. yes parts of it are hood but not everything.
So Prince George's County is home to 5/6 of the wealthiest towns in the country. It's not just "ward 9". It is also home to ~15 Government Agencies who do a great deal of procurement for private business owners which means its a huge economic driver for the Country. I won't go into all of the stats but the way you painted Gorgeous Prince George's was clearly biased. Lastly, "College Park" just outside of Moco... happens to be in Prince George's County.
R. Joshua Reynolds it seems like his goal with the video was to only talk about the bad things and complain. Seems like a miserable person in general. I’ve never even heard of Ward 9.
@@zamorapakalolo6699 yes and after watching this video he does not know the state of Maryland that I live in. Obviously, he talked to the wrong people or the right ones didn't care to talk with him.
Also as someone who’s lived in Baltimore briefly and walked around the city it’s not as bad as he makes it out to be you just need to have street smarts
I've lived in, walked in, and driven in Baltimore City. Like any big city, it has places that are bad, places that are ground into poverty, places that are less safe than others. If you only film the unattractive streets, then you are giving a poor overview of the city. During the Revolutionary War, the country's capital was moved to Baltimore and the State Capital in Annapolis has the oldest still operating Capitol Building.
As a person who went to Johns Hopkins University, the neighborhoods and streets are not as dangerous as portrayed in the video. I actually felt safe in that part of area in north Baltimore City. There are some rich neighborhoods near the campus and nice coffee shops and clothing stores near the campus as well.
Frederick County is becoming the new Montgomery County. Parts of northern Moco are kinda ghetto like Gaithersburg and Germantown. Residents are sometimes referred to as "Moco Loco". Also "hon" is really just a Baltimore thing.
Montgomery County is not even as close to being dangerous as Prince George's County, Baltimore County, Baltimore, Worchester County, Washington County and Anne Arundel County.
I’ve lived in Maryland most of my life. I don’t say hun or Warshington, and I don’t put Old Bay on anything except crabs. I root for the Terps, the Skins, and the Nats, and I’m very much missing my sports. Maryland is a pretty great state and has just about anything you could want. Thanks for doing a video on our great state!
@@elijahadams8835 Comparing just cities to an entire state isn't really possible. The only thing in Maryland comparable is Baltimore, which is already a different vibe from the rest of Maryland lol
I'm from Bethesda Maryland, I'm in Houston Texas now, for 30 something years, miss maryland, crab boils, fishing, visiting Georgetown...great state, lived in frederick and thurmont Maryland, in the country, was gorgeous.
Yep! Frederick, like all other cities in MD, have their good areas and bad ones. One simply has to know which areas are which. I'm still in Frederick County, and I love it.
I'm currently living in Bethesda, changed so much, people no longer afford here single house starts at 2mil+. I'm moving to Rosemary Beach next year can't wait
I call BS. The correct Marylander pronunciation of Baltimore is closer to “Bawlmer”. And going to OC is “down the ocean” which to non-natives sounds more like “downy aioshun”. He’s right about “hon” but cmon anyone with a brain knows that.
As a Marylander, I questioned the accuracy of some of the video. Then you said everyone else in the state hates Montgomery County and I thought, alright, pretty accurate.
Lmfaooo at 00:40-00:43 there is a drug deal caught on video in the right of the screen. Guy coming from the left grabs something from his pocket, meets a guy coming from the right and the guy on the left (with the same hand) gives something to the guy on the right after the guy on the right pulls something out of his pocket. Then they split up immediately after 😂
I lived in Baltimore for several years. A crack head took a dump on my front step and my buddies dog got kidnapped and held for ransom lol. Bmore is hot garbage. But Primos Chicken on Pratt and Cross is FIRE.
Pretty amazing how RICH the state of Maryland is! RICHEST of all 50 states by median household income, even more amazing considing how poor the majority of Baltimore is, and drags it down considerably!
I live in Maryland and you have no clue what you're talking about I've lived in Maryland 35 years You have no idea about the heritage of Maryland first of all Maryland is not classified as a southern state it's obvious to me by watching this video you're clueless
Actually Maryland is a southern state. Anything south of the Mason Dixon Line is considered the south. Due to the liberal nature of the state it now identifies more with the north. Even the state song calls for the throwing off of tyranny and helping our sister state Virginia.
This video is pretty inaccurate. I don't know where this guy gets his info but he's obviously not big on fact checking. He's right about some things, but mostly, he's just regurgitating false information. His geography is pretty incorrect as well.
I deliver for doordash and postmates. One time I got an order for Gibson island and they STILL would not let me through the gate. Made the guy drive over to the gate to pick up his food from me. Yet, when I deliver to shipmen at the naval academy the security is so chill about letting me through.. Lol.
Basically this video is saying what everyone in Baltimore thinks: everything in Maryland outside of Baltimore is hillbilly town and north Baltimore is dangerous. But this video didn’t mention all the nice parts of Baltimore, like Fells Point, Federal Hill, the inner harbor, Roland park, etc.
Um, North Baltimore is the wealthiest and least dangerous part of the city. I do agree, of course, that the areas you mentioned are nice. BTW, Roland Park is in North Baltimore.
I can definitely vouch for Roland Park area, I went to that elementary school! Catonsville, Patterson Park, Mt Vernon, Reistertown, and Whitelock. It’s a small city with a lot of gems 💎
THIS guy seems to take a rather shallow view and understanding of many places he visits. Who is he anyway? Where is he from? Where did he go to school and for how long? He does hit on some of our stereotypical flaws. We’re a fractured state, America in miniature, they used to say. Geographically and socially. I think he’s too young to have heard that, or just not bright enough to pick up on the nuances. Little better than BS?
As someone from Maryland the things he said are very debatable it depends on which parts your going to and the people you talk to. Take everything he said with a gran of salt❤️
Maryland was the state that fully welcomed me on my first trip to the USA for an exchange program , stayed in Ocean City, MD for the whole summer (in 2016 and 2017) it’s a safe city , great nightlife ,good food and good people , and it’s close to the Rehoboth Beach outlets in Delaware where you can get lots of stuff. Great video I liked it , keep it up 👍🏼
It has its ups and downs. I certainly don't like the high cost of living, unfriendliness, way too much traffic and type A pesonalities that have migrated down here. I won't say it is the worst place, but I find the region overrated honestly.
I’ve lived in different parts of MD for the past 20 years. Prince George’s county is the wealthiest Black county in the country. Millionaires..Doctors, lawyers, engineers.. great homes in that county. I lived there as a child and 2 of my sisters currently have homes there. Baltimore is just as bad as you’ve said. My university was in Cumberland and it’s peaceful and scenic. Locals were not as conservative as portrayed. I’ve lived in Montgomery county for almost 2 years and it’s one of the best counties in MD so that part correct.
are dott is "R." spelled out, its the copyright sign ®️ it signifies alot for me its a lot of different meanings behind it for me, for the most part thats how i came up wit it an R inside a circle i wanted a short catchy username that symbolized me @@desireechisholm2899
Very well said. And it's obvious that this guy has never visited most of the places he makes videos about. Most likely spends about 15 minutes doing online research, finds some stock photos, and knocks out a video in less than an hour.
Actually Maryland is one of the wealthiest states in the union, also the median income is one the highest in the country ..So no friend we do not consider ourselves West Virginians
My fiancés parents are from Thailand. They came here with nothing and built a wonderful life for their 2 daughters in Montgomery county. Maryland is the 9th most diverse state and number 1 in Asian population.
1. This is MY STATE!! THANKS NICK for the video & listening to your fans.. (I was the one who asked for the MD unboxing) 😎 2. No, not everyone in Maryland talks funny only the people in the Baltimore region 🤣 3. YES we do put Old Bay on everything. YES, EVERYTHING. I won't even leave the house without a portable can of Old Bay 4. Our state flag is the best no other one comes even close to how awesome ours looks! 5. We are not a southern state but also not a northern state. We didn't secede with the Confederacy
Hello Janet am sorry you don’t know me my name is David belote I was flipping through the comments sections when I came across your comments i decided to know you more hope you don’t mind
Dundalk is still very blue collar, but the area around Cockeysville, in northern central Baltimore county, isn’t blue collar at all. It’s mostly upper middle class suburbs up there.
Parkville is still pretty blue collar too , yup northern Baltimore county is for the rich people most of those farms been sold and million dollar homes on them now
Anywhere near Central almost northern Baltimore County are upper middle to upper class. Hunt valley, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Glenarm, Cockeysville and the Dulaney Valley area has a lot of old long money.
I've lived in Maryland most of my life, mostly in Montgomery County. This place SUCKS!!! Why you ask? Besides what was already mentioned, which is just scratching the surface, The traffic is ReDicUlOuS... Not just the congestion either, bad enough you can't get anywhere fast, they have the nerve too have speed cameras EVERYWHERE in places where you wouldn't think they should be, which is the whole point... Bad enough this place fleeces you on taxes, but to ad insult to injury they dive in your pocket even more, and the traffic lights our timed terribly, no sooner then you stop at a major intersection and sit for 2mins your stopping again... this can go on for several blocks... and one would think with all the revenue that's generated in this pristine wealthy suburb of neighboring Washington D.C. that it would have decent infrastructure, Wrong... the roads are horrendous and there always seems to be road issues and construction which adds more issues to getting around, and Not to knock the people of N.J. Philly or N.Y. but they have infiltrated this area, which has added to the traffic, crime and higher insurance premiums... You would expect this being such a high status profile area, that there wouldn't be on a short supply of anything at the store's, Wrong... This place amazes me that it's always out of things in the store's, supply and demand isn't the order of the day here... Then there's the all probing police state, there's so many different kinds of police here you'd think your living in a National Police Force... I could keep going on, but I think your getting the picture, this place is a Major Joke...
I'm from PG county by the way of Washington DC and our accent is way different than Baltimore. Alot of us have DC roots from the music to family members.
College Park and University of Maryland are in PG county....people seem to forget this. Its not called "just outside Montgomery County" its in PG. Say where it is...not what it is in proximity to. With the virus, the college town is empty, but I drive there to support some of my favorite restaurants in my county. PG is such a big and diverse place with some beautiful homes. My family and I have never actually heard anyone call it ward 9, but why show just that rough area? I always hear "one of nations wealthiest black areas" and I feel comfortable and safe here. Been here since 98. They are gentrifying a lot of the shady areas close to D.C. but PG isn't just the outskirts of D.C. either. That rough snippet of PG is one part, and that pretty snippet of University of MD is another part of the same county. What does MOCO have to do with college park and UMD? This stuff is why PG gets no credit for the good stuff we actually have. I just bought a home in the suburbs in a nice community with great neighbors and beautiful parks.
i’m far from western maryland but when i do go to the cumberland area for a family reunion it is beautiful and maryland is a mix of everything but the more west you go the more pretty it gets .
Hey, Nick Johnson, I got hooked watching your videos, and I like watching them. I love learning about other states in the US. Keep it up, Nick. Big fan from Long Island, New York!
Is this guy so negative about everything? Completely left out the beautiful parts of the state and its culture. The arts and music scene in Baltimore. The excellent education. The social programs better than most states. Gorgeous architecture in churches everywhere. Hiking and biking. Completely missed Frederick with its festivals and food scene. Yeah, you highlighted the negatives, but blew past all the positives. Except Old Bay. That’s a beautiful thing you find everywhere.
Thanks for putting the image of Joe Thiesman’s leg getting broken into pieces by LT into my head Mappy! I remember watching that game live with my dad. My dad yelled out “old Joe got hit so hard I felt it in Denver!” Thanks for the great content Nick. Love all of your vids. Keep up the great work and stay safe and healthy bro.
I’m from Maryland and I suck at driving so don’t come here. Most of what he said is right though he left some things/ important county’s out, and NOT everybody talks like that I certainly don’t.
I was born and raised in Baltimore. The city has been going downhill for decades. I have also lived in Montgomery County and a few years ago went back to visit just for the day and I was priced back into reality. Northwestern Baltimore County was where I was most comfortable until I moved away from the state. After almost 2 decades I return to Maryland I moved to the lower part of the mid-shore, Dorchester County. I loved it. What drove me away from Maryland who is the overall political situation in the state, high taxes, had a chance to live close to family in Florida, a state with no personal income tax. I still have one brother living in Maryland and I expect in about a decade when he retires he will be moving to another state.
What are you talking about? I'm from D.C. but currently live in MD. You were mad disrespectful towards MD and don't have a clue. About only 30% of that ish you spouted was true. FYI... I hate Old Bay seasoning and not a big fan of crabs.
I’ve came from Northeast Baltimore and my grandparents moved in there from the 1940s. Seeing the history of the street they lived on has changed my perspective that the crack era has ruined Northeast Baltimore. I live in Randallstown now and I have to say that NE Baltimore you aren’t “bound to get shot”. The people there have a strong community.
That opening scene at 0:30 is the intersection of Poplar Grove St. & Edmondson Ave. on the westside - my birth neighborhood back in 1950. We lived at 1034 Poplar Grove. The fried chicken place on the corner was an Arundel Ice Cream store back then. As for Old Bay Seasoning, we only used it in making crab cakes and steaming shrimp.
I live in Upper Marlboro, and stay in Marlboro Ridge, a predominately black wealthy neighborhood. you should’ve talked about all the parts, not just shown the seemingly bad parts.
Baltimore born and raised. Guy got a lot right here but he missed the mark on some things 1. Politicians are reluctant to gentrifying baltimore city would cause rents would be astronomically high. They have already risen a ridiculous percentage over the past couple years and most people in baltimore city are living at or below poverty levels. If in 2018 your rent was 900, theres no reason why that same place should rent for 1300 two years later. Gentrification brings people with higher incomes in the impoverished hood seeing low rents and therefore landlords jack those prices up. Doesnt affect the gentrifiers, but affects the long term residents greatly. A vast majority of homes in the city are rental properties. Its not about losing support. Its about not having a place to live. 2. We did not climb the gates of M&T Bank to watch the ravens play, at least not to my knowledge and the clip. We climbed the gate to participate in the Superbowl celebration ceremony in 2012 because the stadium was at capacity and they closed the gates. It was a big deal. They shut down downtown and my job gave us a break to attend. But yes we are die hard ravens fans. I have a tattoo 3. You also left out that Maryland is one of the wealthiest states comprised of African Americans in the nation 4. The accents - The only two detectable accents we really have are Rural white accents (all of Maryland) and Black city accents (Baltimore City): The rural whites are the ones who say "hon'" (honey) and "wooder" (Water). We say "tew" (too) "urn" (iron, aaron, urn), "zink" (sink), "oinch" (orange). PG/MoCo/DC has their own lingo and it confuses us sometimes if we dont go to DC often.
Baltimore residents absolutely have a very distinct accent, and yes the long time residents do say hon. Three distinct regions, I-95 corridor, Western MD, and Eastern Shore and would include the counties s of DC as essentially Eastern Shore
You don’t know much about Maryland at all. I’ve lived in Montgomery County for 15 years, it’s not all rich white people. Yes, Chevy Chase and Bethesda are predominantly white and it’s a wealthy area. Drive a few miles up 355 and you’re in a very working class area. Silver Spring is huge and there are wealthier neighborhoods and poorer neighborhoods. There are people in Montgomery County from all over the world. At one time Montgomery County had the largest Hispanic population in the DC area (don’t know if that’s still the case). It’s actually very diverse. PG county is the wealthiest predominantly black county in the US. There is a lot of poverty right along the DC line but once you get further away from DC there are many middle/upper class neighborhoods that are predominantly black. Charles County, which is just south of PG, is the second wealthiest predominantly black county in the US
What part of Fredrick County ? I lived in Frederick City , Walkersville and Thurmont. My parents live in Spring Ridge. I went to Walkersville High School.
Daniel Francella i grew up in New Market Urbana area. my cousins went to walkersville HS and i went to urbana hs 2004. recently lived off of rosemont ave in frederick city
Ushsh Hshs; born and raised in Maryland. It's definitely a southern state as you can determine that by the way Marylanders react when it snows--especially the way they "drive" in the snow. The mere mention of the word "snow" in a weather forecast and Marylanders loot the grocery store like the 7th seal was just broken; all schools close and people are absent at their jobs because of the paralyzingly fear of the white stuff.
I grew up in Montgomery County and I hate it with a passion of 100000000 suns. NEVER made a friend there, I had to move to Texas and NYC to socialize. Montgomery county aka MOCO are snobby as hell!!! Plus MOCO invented Karens!
I'd like to agree with you, bit there really are parts of Baltimore that are neglected. The state, let alone the city, hasn't done enough to invest in the community to bring those areas back up.
As a Marylander I approve of this video. The map was very accurate, Old bay is great on chicken wings, crabs, fish, and fries, and the stereotypes were pretty on the mark.
YEAAAAAA moco gang gang but i am not rich and I definitely live on the side of moco were its smaller houses and many minorities. I really like western maryland tho and also the bay.
Living in Maryland my whole life, you got most of it right! Especially about Baltimore and western Maryland haha. No one really says hon though. Cheers
Considering how you regard Baltimore, I could only imagine what thoughts you have on places like Albuquerque, Detroit, and well the entirety of Florida. 😂
Baltimore is arguably worse. It's not better then those places maybe on the same level but mostly worse. You've never experienced Baltimore. It's opposite of most cities because its all hood with a small section of good, while in other cities ots mostly good with small sections of hoods.
I lived on the outskirts of Baltimore for a year, and the more I knew about my neighborhood, the scareder I was. If you drove into the city from the West side, people would hang bags of crack in front of your windshield at the traffic lights. I lived in a bad neighborhood in Chicago for a while, and Baltimore is really a lot more dangerous. I got directions to Johns Hopkins in downtown Baltimore, and the woman giving me directions was telling me which lane to be on in which road, and added that I should run the light if anyone approached my car. This woman wasn't being paranoid. In fact she was amused at my ignorance about these things.

Everything in this video is incorrect. You chose to show the one bad street in Baltimore and made it seem like that’s the whole city with no mention of the other wonderful neighborhoods and culture here. I’ve lived in the city for over a decade with no issues. And some of the names you are calling people in the rural areas and eastern shore I’ve never heard of in my life. You obviously made this video having no knowledge of the state at all.
ONE bad street?
He’s a tool !!! A true bone head ass guy ! Baltimore has soooo many nice places !
Would have been nice to see the great things in Baltimore highlighted like the universities, Kennedy Krieger, and all the other great things.
Baltimore has more than one bad street. It used to be a great city once but poor leadership is leading it to ruin. The only good parts re the neighborhoods along border from west to north to the east.
Agree.
Dude, the area you circled... my Vernon, Charles village, and Hamden are really nice areas. You don’t know much about Baltimore
Or, Montgomery County if he thinks Silver Spring is rich white people driving BMWs and Jaguars ;)
“Really nice?” That’s a reach.
Right, he chose to only show the bad streets. All the areas he circled are nice neighborhoods. He knows nothing. And no mention of Fells, Fed hill, Canton, Patterson Park, all nice areas.
J MD someone else who doesn’t know anything.
I agree, he doesn’t know much about Baltimore at all.
It is honestly impressive how well Montgomery county is wrong. It doesn’t get enough credit. They have an amazing recycling program and no landfills in the county, they instead have an energy transfer station, look it up. Besides that, their libraries are beautiful and the county programs are very well run. Their community college is probably one of the best in the entire country. It’s a great place to live.
Run*
You forgot to mention that Montgomery County also has the largest population and largest GDP out of every country in Maryland.
Is it just me or was he saying nothing good about Maryland or anyone living in it.
This was the perfect opportunity to be positive and unite people but he blew it
He made Maryland seem like Baltimore
Pineapple Pizza no just northern Baltimore
Bodangers and get even said “You May think Maryland is good but it’s no where near that”
Right, we Marylanders shall beat this guys a$$ LOL
University of Maryland is in PG county! MGM Casino is in PG County, as well as Bowie State, the National Harbor, NASA Goddard space Center. Don’t sleep on PG. yes parts of it are hood but not everything.
And andrews air force base
And Fed Ex Field
How they not hoods?
Kyng Jakk it is home to 5 of the top ten wealthiest black neighborhoods in America which makes it the richest black county in all of America.
Papa Gramps you must be talking about Bowie, Upper Marlboro because the parts near dc are not nice like Landover or forestville or seat pleasant
This guy enjoys adding to the stereotype of “certain” spots in Maryland, in particular Baltimore
How are you doing
Hello how are you doing my name is David belote am sorry you don’t know me can I know you more
Why does he considered the Baltimore accent all of Maryland’s accent
It's only a west Baltimore accent at that (maybe a little south Baltimore)
Baltimore is Baltimore and its soooo different from PG, MoCo & Charles Co !
The Baltimore accent is extremely inaccurate tho, not one person from here pronounces it as “Baltimur” it’s more like “Baldimor”
Exactly
@@ateyagirlscroissant3977
I think it's the way I grew up around people but I always called it "Baltimur" lol
So Prince George's County is home to 5/6 of the wealthiest towns in the country. It's not just "ward 9". It is also home to ~15 Government Agencies who do a great deal of procurement for private business owners which means its a huge economic driver for the Country. I won't go into all of the stats but the way you painted Gorgeous Prince George's was clearly biased. Lastly, "College Park" just outside of Moco... happens to be in Prince George's County.

@@zamorapakalolo6699 yes and after watching this video he does not know the state of Maryland that I live in. Obviously, he talked to the wrong people or the right ones didn't care to talk with him.
Exactly. I live in Capital Heights Maryland and he has no idea what he's talking about
Ive been to baltimore and i can say i agree with him in Balmore sad!!
Also as someone who’s lived in Baltimore briefly and walked around the city it’s not as bad as he makes it out to be you just need to have street smarts
I’d rather walk through sketchy parts of Baltimore City at night than some parts of NYC
Thank you it’s not that bad
I've lived in, walked in, and driven in Baltimore City. Like any big city, it has places that are bad, places that are ground into poverty, places that are less safe than others. If you only film the unattractive streets, then you are giving a poor overview of the city. During the Revolutionary War, the country's capital was moved to Baltimore and the State Capital in Annapolis has the oldest still operating Capitol Building.
As a person who went to Johns Hopkins University, the neighborhoods and streets are not as dangerous as portrayed in the video. I actually felt safe in that part of area in north Baltimore City. There are some rich neighborhoods near the campus and nice coffee shops and clothing stores near the campus as well.
I wanna be able to walk around without having to be "street smart" tho
I feel like Howard County and Montgomery County should have received special recognition for having dense populations of Karens.
Especially Moco!💀💀
Nah the Karen's reside in Towson most definitely
Shimmer Rihh Moco and Towson for sure
But also, the diversity in MoCo is dominate. Rockville was one of the top 10 diverse cities in all the U.S.
@@marcosjoya7431 Thats actually where I live lol the diversity here is truly unmatched!
Frederick County is becoming the new Montgomery County. Parts of northern Moco are kinda ghetto like Gaithersburg and Germantown. Residents are sometimes referred to as "Moco Loco". Also "hon" is really just a Baltimore thing.
Ok hon
Montgomery County is not even as close to being dangerous as Prince George's County, Baltimore County, Baltimore, Worchester County, Washington County and Anne Arundel County.
I’ve lived in Maryland most of my life. I don’t say hun or Warshington, and I don’t put Old Bay on anything except crabs. I root for the Terps, the Skins, and the Nats, and I’m very much missing my sports. Maryland is a pretty great state and has just about anything you could want. Thanks for doing a video on our great state!

Maryland is a great home base for traveling
Have you been to atlanta, portland or seatle? if so how would those cities compare to Maryland?
@@elijahadams8835 Comparing just cities to an entire state isn't really possible. The only thing in Maryland comparable is Baltimore, which is already a different vibe from the rest of Maryland lol

Yep! Frederick, like all other cities in MD, have their good areas and bad ones. One simply has to know which areas are which. I'm still in Frederick County, and I love it.
You boiled your crabs? Ugh. We steam them here.

Do a real report on Baltimore even if it has negatives or don't say snything about at all. Misleading
Right, places like Canton are the rick yuppy white people area...etc lol
I call BS. The correct Marylander pronunciation of Baltimore is closer to “Bawlmer”. And going to OC is “down the ocean” which to non-natives sounds more like “downy aioshun”. He’s right about “hon” but cmon anyone with a brain knows that.

THANK YOU Its not a southern state
I mean Harriette Tubman literally was a slave here... that she fled from
You guys should maybe talk to the US census about that lol. I mean I'd love to not be called southern. I am all for it
Actually Maryland is a southern state. Anything south of the Mason Dixon Line is considered the south. Due to the liberal nature of the state it now identifies more with the north. Even the state song calls for the throwing off of tyranny and helping our sister state Virginia.
@@williamtyndall7699 FACTS!!!
This video is pretty inaccurate. I don't know where this guy gets his info but he's obviously not big on fact checking. He's right about some things, but mostly, he's just regurgitating false information. His geography is pretty incorrect as well.
I deliver for doordash and postmates. One time I got an order for Gibson island and they STILL would not let me through the gate. Made the guy drive over to the gate to pick up his food from me. Yet, when I deliver to shipmen at the naval academy the security is so chill about letting me through.. Lol.
Basically this video is saying what everyone in Baltimore thinks: everything in Maryland outside of Baltimore is hillbilly town and north Baltimore is dangerous.
But this video didn’t mention all the nice parts of Baltimore, like Fells Point, Federal Hill, the inner harbor, Roland park, etc.
Um, North Baltimore is the wealthiest and least dangerous part of the city. I do agree, of course, that the areas you mentioned are nice. BTW, Roland Park is in North Baltimore.
I can definitely vouch for Roland Park area, I went to that elementary school! Catonsville, Patterson Park, Mt Vernon, Reistertown, and Whitelock. It’s a small city with a lot of gems 💎
THIS guy seems to take a rather shallow view and understanding of many places he visits. Who is he anyway? Where is he from? Where did he go to school and for how long? He does hit on some of our stereotypical flaws. We’re a fractured state, America in miniature, they used to say. Geographically and socially. I think he’s too young to have heard that, or just not bright enough to pick up on the nuances. Little better than BS?

I agree.
Maryland was the state that fully welcomed me on my first trip to the USA for an exchange program , stayed in Ocean City, MD for the whole summer (in 2016 and 2017) it’s a safe city , great nightlife ,good food and good people , and it’s close to the Rehoboth Beach outlets in Delaware where you can get lots of stuff. Great video I liked it , keep it up 👍🏼
Beautiful city. Thrashers is on top
I actually love living in the DC-MD-VA area.
I hated it there after moving from Southern California. Now back in home state.
It has its ups and downs. I certainly don't like the high cost of living, unfriendliness, way too much traffic and type A pesonalities that have migrated down here. I won't say it is the worst place, but I find the region overrated honestly.

Dundalk is still very blue collar, but the area around Cockeysville, in northern central Baltimore county, isn’t blue collar at all. It’s mostly upper middle class suburbs up there.
Parkville is still pretty blue collar too , yup northern Baltimore county is for the rich people most of those farms been sold and million dollar homes on them now
What is wrong with blue collar? Shame on you
Anywhere near Central almost northern Baltimore County are upper middle to upper class. Hunt valley, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Glenarm, Cockeysville and the Dulaney Valley area has a lot of old long money.
I've lived in Maryland most of my life, mostly in Montgomery County. This place SUCKS!!! Why you ask? Besides what was already mentioned, which is just scratching the surface, The traffic is ReDicUlOuS... Not just the congestion either, bad enough you can't get anywhere fast, they have the nerve too have speed cameras EVERYWHERE in places where you wouldn't think they should be, which is the whole point... Bad enough this place fleeces you on taxes, but to ad insult to injury they dive in your pocket even more, and the traffic lights our timed terribly, no sooner then you stop at a major intersection and sit for 2mins your stopping again... this can go on for several blocks... and one would think with all the revenue that's generated in this pristine wealthy suburb of neighboring Washington D.C. that it would have decent infrastructure, Wrong... the roads are horrendous and there always seems to be road issues and construction which adds more issues to getting around, and Not to knock the people of N.J. Philly or N.Y. but they have infiltrated this area, which has added to the traffic, crime and higher insurance premiums... You would expect this being such a high status profile area, that there wouldn't be on a short supply of anything at the store's, Wrong... This place amazes me that it's always out of things in the store's, supply and demand isn't the order of the day here... Then there's the all probing police state, there's so many different kinds of police here you'd think your living in a National Police Force... I could keep going on, but I think your getting the picture, this place is a Major Joke...
Yea been living here for a long time need a new place to live.
I'm from PG county by the way of Washington DC and our accent is way different than Baltimore. Alot of us have DC roots from the music to family members.
College Park and University of Maryland are in PG county....people seem to forget this. Its not called "just outside Montgomery County" its in PG. Say where it is...not what it is in proximity to. With the virus, the college town is empty, but I drive there to support some of my favorite restaurants in my county.
PG is such a big and diverse place with some beautiful homes. My family and I have never actually heard anyone call it ward 9, but why show just that rough area? I always hear "one of nations wealthiest black areas" and I feel comfortable and safe here. Been here since 98.
They are gentrifying a lot of the shady areas close to D.C. but PG isn't just the outskirts of D.C. either.
That rough snippet of PG is one part, and that pretty snippet of University of MD is another part of the same county. What does MOCO have to do with college park and UMD? This stuff is why PG gets no credit for the good stuff we actually have.
I just bought a home in the suburbs in a nice community with great neighbors and beautiful parks.

Maryland in general. You cant go a day without seeing an accident
I was born and raised in Baltimore. The city has been going downhill for decades. I have also lived in Montgomery County and a few years ago went back to visit just for the day and I was priced back into reality. Northwestern Baltimore County was where I was most comfortable until I moved away from the state. After almost 2 decades I return to Maryland I moved to the lower part of the mid-shore, Dorchester County. I loved it.
What drove me away from Maryland who is the overall political situation in the state, high taxes, had a chance to live close to family in Florida, a state with no personal income tax. I still have one brother living in Maryland and I expect in about a decade when he retires he will be moving to another state.
Maryland birthed one of the greatest TV shows ever, The Wire.
Proud of my state.
This taught me more about the geography of Maryland than what it’s actually like to live here
there is very humid summers and springs
and perfect fall
What are you talking about? I'm from D.C. but currently live in MD. You were mad disrespectful towards MD and don't have a clue. About only 30% of that ish you spouted was true.
FYI... I hate Old Bay seasoning and not a big fan of crabs.
Most people like crabs/Old Bay but you're right that he literally doesn't know the state and isn't from there
This lamb concurs with the OP
Almost at the @5:25 point I had to double back at it to figure out what exactly did u say after the chicken word 😂😂
“Speaking about crabs, let’s talk about Baltimore.” ‘Nuf said.
The people of Baltimore have crab lice.🦀🐞🧼🙏
I’ve came from Northeast Baltimore and my grandparents moved in there from the 1940s. Seeing the history of the street they lived on has changed my perspective that the crack era has ruined Northeast Baltimore. I live in Randallstown now and I have to say that NE Baltimore you aren’t “bound to get shot”. The people there have a strong community.
That opening scene at 0:30 is the intersection of Poplar Grove St. & Edmondson Ave. on the westside - my birth neighborhood back in 1950. We lived at 1034 Poplar Grove. The fried chicken place on the corner was an Arundel Ice Cream store back then.
As for Old Bay Seasoning, we only used it in making crab cakes and steaming shrimp.
I live in Upper Marlboro, and stay in Marlboro Ridge, a predominately black wealthy neighborhood. you should’ve talked about all the parts, not just shown the seemingly bad parts.
@Official Alonzo I grew up in Greenbelt.

Marlboro Ridge is gorgeous. Do you have a Toll Brothers home? My niece had horse riding lessons at the equestrian center in that neighborhood
ms san2016 yeah i do lmao
Baltimore born and raised. Guy got a lot right here but he missed the mark on some things
1. Politicians are reluctant to gentrifying baltimore city would cause rents would be astronomically high. They have already risen a ridiculous percentage over the past couple years and most people in baltimore city are living at or below poverty levels. If in 2018 your rent was 900, theres no reason why that same place should rent for 1300 two years later. Gentrification brings people with higher incomes in the impoverished hood seeing low rents and therefore landlords jack those prices up. Doesnt affect the gentrifiers, but affects the long term residents greatly. A vast majority of homes in the city are rental properties. Its not about losing support. Its about not having a place to live.
2. We did not climb the gates of M&T Bank to watch the ravens play, at least not to my knowledge and the clip. We climbed the gate to participate in the Superbowl celebration ceremony in 2012 because the stadium was at capacity and they closed the gates. It was a big deal. They shut down downtown and my job gave us a break to attend. But yes we are die hard ravens fans. I have a tattoo
3. You also left out that Maryland is one of the wealthiest states comprised of African Americans in the nation
4. The accents - The only two detectable accents we really have are Rural white accents (all of Maryland) and Black city accents (Baltimore City): The rural whites are the ones who say "hon'" (honey) and "wooder" (Water). We say "tew" (too) "urn" (iron, aaron, urn), "zink" (sink), "oinch" (orange). PG/MoCo/DC has their own lingo and it confuses us sometimes if we dont go to DC often.
Niiiice Mr Jones!!

Baltimore residents absolutely have a very distinct accent, and yes the long time residents do say hon. Three distinct regions, I-95 corridor, Western MD, and Eastern Shore and would include the counties s of DC as essentially Eastern Shore
BALTIMORE FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!
You don’t know much about Maryland at all. I’ve lived in Montgomery County for 15 years, it’s not all rich white people. Yes, Chevy Chase and Bethesda are predominantly white and it’s a wealthy area. Drive a few miles up 355 and you’re in a very working class area. Silver Spring is huge and there are wealthier neighborhoods and poorer neighborhoods. There are people in Montgomery County from all over the world. At one time Montgomery County had the largest Hispanic population in the DC area (don’t know if that’s still the case). It’s actually very diverse. PG county is the wealthiest predominantly black county in the US. There is a lot of poverty right along the DC line but once you get further away from DC there are many middle/upper class neighborhoods that are predominantly black. Charles County, which is just south of PG, is the second wealthiest predominantly black county in the US
Lol ok

The mere mention of the word "snow" in a weather forecast and Marylanders loot the grocery store like the 7th seal was just broken; all schools close and people are absent at their jobs because of the paralyzingly fear of the white stuff.
Driving on the Eastern Shore, right across the bridge into Virginia is a gas station that calls itself "where the south begins" so this checks out.
Michael Goldman really?🤣imma look that up
I grew up in Montgomery County and I hate it with a passion of 100000000 suns. NEVER made a friend there, I had to move to Texas and NYC to socialize. Montgomery county aka MOCO are snobby as hell!!! Plus MOCO invented Karens!
I feel like people make Baltimore look worse then it actually is
I'd like to agree with you, bit there really are parts of Baltimore that are neglected. The state, let alone the city, hasn't done enough to invest in the community to bring those areas back up.
@Águila701 Absolutely not! It's a great city, but it does have a serious problem.
I love how Baltimore looks but it's the crime rate that bugs me-
As a Marylander I approve of this video. The map was very accurate, Old bay is great on chicken wings, crabs, fish, and fries, and the stereotypes were pretty on the mark.
LOLOLOL! HE really cracks me the f up!!!! I love his voice and facial expressions when he speaks of Western Maryland. I love this channel.
YEAAAAAA moco gang gang but i am not rich and I definitely live on the side of moco were its smaller houses and many minorities. I really like western maryland tho and also the bay.
Living in Maryland my whole life, you got most of it right! Especially about Baltimore and western Maryland haha. No one really says hon though. Cheers
You forgot to mention how EVEYTHING. Including all their clothes. Has the state flag on it. 😂❤
I grew up in Maryland (moved to the west coast but kind of miss it), and you nailed it. Well done!
Don’t it got worse over the years
Considering how you regard Baltimore, I could only imagine what thoughts you have on places like Albuquerque, Detroit, and well the entirety of Florida. 😂
Baltimore is arguably worse. It's not better then those places maybe on the same level but mostly worse. You've never experienced Baltimore. It's opposite of most cities because its all hood with a small section of good, while in other cities ots mostly good with small sections of hoods.
I lived on the outskirts of Baltimore for a year, and the more I knew about my neighborhood, the scareder I was. If you drove into the city from the West side, people would hang bags of crack in front of your windshield at the traffic lights. I lived in a bad neighborhood in Chicago for a while, and Baltimore is really a lot more dangerous. I got directions to Johns Hopkins in downtown Baltimore, and the woman giving me directions was telling me which lane to be on in which road, and added that I should run the light if anyone approached my car. This woman wasn't being paranoid. In fact she was amused at my ignorance about these things.
I'm originally from Maryland and I attended and graduated from the University of Maryland.
