I once lived in Rochester, NY. I attended Jefferson Middle and School Without walls, this was 1995-2000. As a young girl from the dirt roads of South Carolina it was as hard for me to adjust. My mother was on drugs and everyone around me. I was traumatized. I was so happy when I moved back down south. Rochester made me stronger cause I had to fight for survival and I don’t mean all physical. I thank God every day for keeping me. I’m at a place in my life where I can talk about my past experiences and what I went through. Rochester is not the same as I remember. A lot has changed and maybe not in a good way.
@@thebarbariansasquatch8108 🤣 he should went north Clinton Hudson area at 3am and took a stroll. Maybe conkey even. I lived on Cambridge Street right off park like 3 minutes from where he was start of the video and it's almost all upscale redone houses (at least inside) with college kids and hipsters lmao.
I've literally walked those streets drunk at 2am so many times. It's not the hood it's bar central. Anything from Monroe, park and east ave are relatively safe though I must admit my building on east ave has gone to the crackheads in the last year or so.
I drive these streets every day bringing children to school. You have to know there are a great number of parents out there that care. These people are caught up in situations beyond their control so they are breaking the cycle through their children. My Heart Bleeds for Rochester I've personally buried 4 people very close to my heart claimed by these streets 3 overdosed 1 was killed at liberty pole by a hit and run driver all in the last 2 years.
The trauma of everyday city life is so very damaging. My son went to another funeral last week. 24/7 Corona ambulances have been disturbing. Thanks for transporting. Sent holiday $ to bus drivers in my Finger Lakes hometown. Celebrating their contributions. THANKS AGAIN. Stay united.
But yeah ima agree with the others and say this is not the hood. Monroe is sketchier than it used to be but you gotta go to Genesee, Jefferson, Thurston, Clinton, Clifford, Ave D, Goodman, etc.
Walked from Bausch and Lomb st Paul to hollenbeck 5 to 6 days a week with dad and sister after dropping mom off to work as we had only 1 car. It was safer neighborhood. Look at it now. Shooting. Hickey Freeman outside crime. I used to drive my bigwheel around block in front of hickey Freeman. Look who lived there back in the past compared to now.
I feel like you went almost everywhere but the real hood areas of Rochester, NY. I’ve lived off Monroe Ave for years and although we have our issues (most revolving around the bars) other areas definitely have bigger issues.
Marcus6200 307 Homicides...😱. My sister lives in Baltimore so I checked the stats that is absolutely awful! But we must remember even one homicide is terrible...😔. This whole world is out of control
I actually have to call bull shit, 82?? 50 is the all time annual high in the 2,000s from 2007, most other years have averaged around high 20s. Plus if it was 82 for a population of Rochester's size, it would easily make it one of the most dangerous cities in America due to that ratio. That's why Irvington NJ is considered most dangerous, because population is barely over 50k.
I hope you visit more areas of the city, Charlie, because very little which is in this video is in the hood. Maybe check out the Joseph Ave and Avenue D areas. Or anything around Hudson. North Clinton, too. The Northeastern quadrant of the city is probably the most dangerous.
I live off Hudson a few streets past kosciusko b4 that on ketchum/Remington i like where im living now, my neighbors are amazing and all look out for eachother..just the crime is really out of control, its so sad to see so many young people lost to the streets 🥺
@@mohawk4759 You really think so? I think their cheeseburger plate is the best in Roc. I like that the meat sauce is just right...not too hot or too mild. I have had plates at a ton of different places ..and can't find any that I like better. Do you like go? If so..where is a good place that you would recommend?
@@tiffanyf7383 i dont like garbage plates. crazy since im born and raised i know lol, i was talking about their wings sorry. however i asked my mom who loves them and she answered with Orbaker’s
This video was overall just a joy ride around the urban areas of Rochester. It didn't give real glimpse into the hoods. The vid starting off at Monroe and Meigs proved this to me. If you do a remake you need to be primarily in the NE/NW/SW areas of the city and also must visit during warmer seasons. The SE quadrant of Rochester is not even remotely "the hood". Reach out to a Rochesterian that was raised in the city (not a suburbanite or transplant), that can point you in the right direction.
The first street you went down is Monroe Avenue, which is not "hood" by any stretch of imagination. It has a Starbucks, boutiques, an art studio, and lots of independent restaurants. EDIT: Also, about 3:46 and onward is downtown, including the very expensive, very trendy East End neighborhood. Downtown Rochester is rapidly gentrifying and is a very safe area. Who is telling you these places are "hood"? Karen from Pittsford?
Must be why they just declared a state of emergency because it the murders and violence, lol. Place was violent 25 years ago. Becoming a shat hole like Chicago and every other Democrat run place.
@@forgedinfireborninblood6626 Pretty much all cities are run by Democrats. Meanwhile states run by Republicans include shitholes like Mississippi and Alabama that consistently rank the worst for things like poverty, education, teen pregnancy, and obesity.
He's from Detroit probably jus going from city to city so how is he suppose to know which parts is the most dangerous?? Not sure y ppl wanna glorify hood shit anyway like its cool
I am from Rochester NY and grew up on the Norton/Joseph ave area . My parents still live in the same home. I went to franklin high school and #22 school. I know live in Baltimore and I feel a lot safer in rochester than Baltimore. Every city has it crimes. I hear gun shots and helicopters all night long.
Whole time i was watching this i kept saying atleast it looks better than Bmore! lmao yeah Baltimore is legit hell and so is SE DC , def worse than Rochester ! If you can survive Baltimore you can make it anywhere i promise you
You can keep the flat fetid hellscape. Just moved up here and I'll happilly take the 4 seasons and actual places to go and shit to do that isn't get cancer on the beach or get cancer at disney world.
But this isn’t what is really going on here! Please know this. The streets at night are like a circus! 4 runners and un-licensed motorcycles running wild, running lights. Police watching, letting it happen. Drive grub hub on Ave D, this isn’t the city.
Exaaaactly!!! Drive your car down Jefferson Ave between Tremont St and Columbia Ave at night and I promise you’ll never see anything like it nor will you be able to forget what you see nor drive through at night ever again. At least that’s my recent experience and I grew up on Reynolds St and Bartlett and it use to be a wonderful place in that area. We had a Star Market grocery story on the Ave. and my mom and dad met at Palms Garden on Frost and Jefferson. I used to catch the school bus on the Ave and me and my besties used to run all up and down Jefferson Ave all times of night when we became teens to get to one another’s house. It’s truly heartbreaking to see the depravity that has taken over BUT GOOD WILL WIN OVER EVIL AND MANY CHOOSE TO LIVE IN HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH 🌏 God’s will will be done! I care. Amen
You missed A lot . Chili ave , thurston , gardiner, mayors heights , Central Park ( 1st etc ) then you got the avenues a,b,c,d,e , Clinton section , Portland section , josana neighbor hood which is jay , child , Whitney area . Lyell and lake are also crime central . Edgerton park , which is Lexington , Dewey and glenwood area .
Excellent video quality. Sharp and very steady picture. Are you using some kind of special suspension since the picture doesn't bounce in sync with the car?

I'm surprised you didn't get stopped at that Valero. It could be 3AM and I got crack heads asking if I want some Boy or Girl? Which meant heroin and coke. I'll never buy gas from there again
Until you explained what the dealers meant by Boy or Girl, I thought they were renting out young teenagers for "sport": a certain kind of wickedness. 😡
Sometimes i want to jump into the screen and sit in the car with you, taking the ride ☺️ Love to see all these places Thank you Charlie from Norway 🙋🏼♀️💛
Rochester looks more like Cleveland than NYC because its a lot closer physically to Cleveland than NYC. That's why the layout is similar. But the way we stay connected up here to NYC and downstate, is that we go to the same schools (SUNY) and the same prisons 😂🤣😂
At :20 you see Marks which is the only really dangerous part of Monroe. And that's just because it's the only place in the city that's open all night. Strange thing to say about a diner: "I remember when the bouncer started carrying a gun." I said it, though.
This is NOT Rochester NY "hood"! You could of, SHOULD OF actually went to the many REAL hoods. But we're probably to scared you would be shot. Which is understandable. But enough with the click bait. If you say going to the hood then actually go INTO THE HOOD.
And next time if you hot rochesyer we have chilies ave and thruston Aves and 1 st to 8th are really bad if you want a adventure next time!! Keep up the good work!
you start the video On Monroe Avenue, that’s far from Hood ! that’s the nice part of the city You should drive through N. Clinton Ave, Joseph Ave., Hudson Ave, Lyell Ave. Jefferson ave, Plymouth Ave. on a nice day And see what’s going on ! If you were just drive down these Avenues on a nice day and your view of the Rochester HOOD scene would be much different!!! Rochester has one of the highest murder rates in the country per capita
I live in Rochester, yea there’s a lot of shootings but it’s actually quite nice especially in the city also you passed where my dad lives in that apartment complex near the round about on chestnut
With over 78 killing this year it’s definitely not nice like u say. I live in south wedge for a while n noticed the change over the years. It’s a dark black cloud over this city for sure let’s be honest
@@endlessjourneys6334 why stay under a dark cloud? This city has its issues like many many other places. I'll take rochester compared to DC, jersey, atl, and other hood plagued urban spots. This was once a great place to grow up and raise kids. Crime is the new trend everywhere.
This guy must not be from Rochester. Monroe Ave, east Ave, main street. Where's weyl, ave D, conkey, Wilkins, orchard street, Lyell. This video shows nothing.
i love this channel and was scrolling and went “HEY IM FROM THERE!!” 😂 not from the hood but im from ROC PS: im a privileged rochester resident who never lived in a super dangerous area and even i know Monroe aint no hood
Love me some Genesse Cream Ale and Beer here in Wisconsin Ya'll! Love seeing all my rustbelt Favorites on this Channel! CHEERS Charlie happy Thanksgiving. CHARLIE got mad skills. You can tell he really is a people person. I love his interviews. I have done the same as Charlie and really enjoy spending time in the forgotten rust belt hoods!
The can of worms I hear they call it now - in the 60s this place was truly lovely. Was moving manufacturing to China really that great for the USA? @ 1:45, you gotta love the one with the Christmas lights on, in the spirit of the holiday season.
I was born in Rochester, but my family moved out to Williamson, NY when I was 6 years old and had never looked back, but when I do go to visit family like I did on thanksgiving, the city has mostly been gentrified. New apartment buildings, some high quality restaurants and bars were added, downtown has changed dramatically since the early 2000s when it was mostly empty. Aside from the main issue which is the rise in violence, the city structure itself has changed to cater to a certain demographic. Rochester's revitalization program seems to be working.
Hood where?? Looks like a beautiful city to me. You were really searching high and low for “hood” areas driving up to people and trying to antagonize them.
He didn't go to the rochester hoods, trust me I live in rochester the city is mostly bad. It's a relatively small city and we're at 82 homicides this year already
Hey Charlie I subscribed to your channel if u get a chance can u go to Columbus Ohio north Linden and drive around there I'll apreciated love n respect brotha stay bless and safe in those streets ❤💯
This isn’t even close to the hood in Rochester.🤣😂 honestly Not saying my city is great. But come on now. At least ask us for the spots if your gonna film.
I’m a 14 year old and I live in gates me and my cousin (also 14) also lives in gates decided to go on a walk to snoco at around 7:00pm we were walking in the bike lane and it was pretty dark but we ended up making it to the gas station but on the way back about half way we had to walk through a sketchy neighborhood in the dark and as we were walking some guy yelled “ hey fuck you” and then sucker punched me in the back of the head and then he ran me and my cousin ended up running home and we called the cops but he never actually found out what happened to him
I think he forgot to go to the hood, streets he went down are like going to the country club. If you think Monroe Ave is bad you don't know what bad is.
Lifelong Rochesterian here - as others have pointed out, Monroe Avenue isn't "Hood" but it's definitely really shitty. Not a lot of violence in that area but lots of crackheads asking for money, some of which are eager to show you their stab wounds or help you cop some rocks yourself (this would involve a finder's fee, of course). Here in Rochester my criteria for an area being hood is whether you can buy crack AND heroin there (Hood), or just crack (Not Hood)
As with most cities, it really depends on the neighborhood. Rochester has some very nice areas such as Park Ave, South Wedge, and the Neighborhood of the Arts.
I’m from Rochester and have lived in the south wedge area for over 5 years now. It’s not the same more violence more shooting n this is downtown area definitely hood anywhere u go
I loved living in the Wedge! I lived on the corner of Gregory & Bond, down the street from Cheesy Eddies, Slice of Life cafe, & a couple of great pizza places, way BEFORE it was cool! 1987-2000! then I moved here to Hawaii!!!

Monroe Ave is probably one of safest places left in the city, at least during the day. Try Lyell, Genesee st., Dewey, Brooks Ave, Beechwood.

No bullshit are city sucks at night we all allready at 82 homicides and we are still in a state of emergency just for rochester stay safe everyone!!

Rochester looks more like Cleveland than NYC because its a lot closer physically to Cleveland than NYC. That's why the layout is similar. But the way we stay connected up here to NYC and downstate, is that we go to the same schools (SUNY) and the same prisons 😂🤣😂
NYC people consider Rochester the country 😆
@@ladycp2287 Rochester native here, that's very accurate 😄
@@IntrovertedOreo same I visit rarely
With a get in get out mentality.
@@ladycp2287 lmfao it’s the same way with Syracuse. But Buffalo gets clout though.
Try Avenue A, Avenue B, Avenue C, Avenue D, Avenue E Monroe not really hood
"Alphabet Soup"
A TH-cam channel isn’t worth that, c’mon man!
He bold as hell pulling in that gas station😂
Really though I dont even like walking past that specific gas station...
I've made that mistake once. Never again, I will only get gas from east ave auto. It's my safe place. 🤣
What kind of dash cam is that? Great quality!
At :20 you see Marks which is the only really dangerous part of Monroe. And that's just because it's the only place in the city that's open all night.
Strange thing to say about a diner: "I remember when the bouncer started carrying a gun." I said it, though.
This is NOT Rochester NY "hood"!
You could of, SHOULD OF actually went to the many REAL hoods.
But we're probably to scared you would be shot.
Which is understandable.
But enough with the click bait.
If you say going to the hood then actually go INTO THE HOOD.
Yeah I noticed he did that in a couple of videos🤷🏾♂️
Bro if you are still here in Rochester make sure you grab a Garbage Plate at Nick Tahoe’s it’s a Rochester Staple
And next time if you hot rochesyer we have chilies ave and thruston Aves and 1 st to 8th are really bad if you want a adventure next time!! Keep up the good work!
I live in Rochester, Monroe is not bad at all, go to Jay street, conkey ave, Avenue D, Garson Ave, Frost street, Hudson Ave, parts of North Clinton...
Never mind the record breaking killings going on. Rochester isn’t even a shell of its former self.
One of my favorites channels!! 🌟
you start the video On Monroe Avenue, that’s far from Hood !
that’s the nice part of the city
You should drive through N. Clinton Ave, Joseph Ave., Hudson Ave, Lyell Ave. Jefferson ave, Plymouth Ave. on a nice day And see what’s going on !
If you were just drive down these Avenues on a nice day and your view of the Rochester HOOD scene would be much different!!! Rochester has one of the highest murder rates in the country per capita
I am in the city often and these views don’t reveal what it’s really like
I live in Rochester, yea there’s a lot of shootings but it’s actually quite nice especially in the city also you passed where my dad lives in that apartment complex near the round about on chestnut
With over 78 killing this year it’s definitely not nice like u say. I live in south wedge for a while n noticed the change over the years. It’s a dark black cloud over this city for sure let’s be honest
@@endlessjourneys6334 I said what I said
@@dysphoria9092 🗣So did I‼️
@@endlessjourneys6334 congratulations 👍
@@endlessjourneys6334 why stay under a dark cloud? This city has its issues like many many other places. I'll take rochester compared to DC, jersey, atl, and other hood plagued urban spots. This was once a great place to grow up and raise kids. Crime is the new trend everywhere.
This guy must not be from Rochester. Monroe Ave, east Ave, main street. Where's weyl, ave D, conkey, Wilkins, orchard street, Lyell. This video shows nothing.
I go to school close to the 20 hour gas station it’s so ghetto we be hearing mad gun shots and police 💀
A big "Thank You" from Romania
Gotta appreciate the Xmass lights.
ah, I see you hit the 20 Hours liquor store for some Funky Cold Medina ?
i love this channel and was scrolling and went “HEY IM FROM THERE!!” 😂 not from the hood but im from ROC
PS: im a privileged rochester resident who never lived in a super dangerous area and even i know Monroe aint no hood
Emerson/Dewey/Glenwood/Maryland/Locust area. And there are so many with lots of boarded up houses you should've hit
I lived on Maryland and Pierpont at one time in my life!
Love me some Genesse Cream Ale and Beer here in Wisconsin Ya'll! Love seeing all my rustbelt Favorites on this Channel! CHEERS Charlie happy Thanksgiving. CHARLIE got mad skills. You can tell he really is a people person. I love his interviews. I have done the same as Charlie and really enjoy spending time in the forgotten rust belt hoods!
if you seen the river they distilled the water from i promise you wouldn't be a genee fan
I still like Genee for real.
lol@@owenbackus8876
DAMN GOOD CAMERA. What you using?
Monroe ave isnt hood. Just has yummy food and bars. Northeast rochester and the West side like mt read and child st are where you have to watch out.
The can of worms I hear they call it now - in the 60s this place was truly lovely. Was moving manufacturing to China really that great for the USA? @ 1:45, you gotta love the one with the Christmas lights on, in the spirit of the holiday season.
@@otakuConn selling junk from China to poor people with no jobs?
The Can of Worms refers to the wonky I-490/I-590/East Ave/University Ave intersection, not the city itself.
NAFTA(globalism) killed Rochester, like many other cities.
@@otakuConn well…..no shit.
Is Rochester NY near the Strong Memorial Hospital NY 14642 unsafe to live, to work? Thank you.
It's safe
you didnt even go to the hood in rochester lol
I'm from Rochester the first 25 seconds is not not not the hood it's monroe.ave it's not a hood
Monroe Ave is hood ,a bunch dopefiends and drunks
Didn't expect to ever see my town on here lol ppreciate it lol
I just made it here last night and it's cold as hellllll lol....westside4lyfe🤙
What hood the one building by Manhattan news is literally an old folks home lol You lost brother?
Should’ve pop out to my hood and interviewed me 🤣
You didn't go to no hoods. A little of the eastside and nothing on the north or west side. You were mainly downtown.
None at all didn’t hit the side blocks but that’s good for him he love his life
Lifelong westside suburb of Rochester here. Have a Genny and a Garbage plate with Zwiegles hots if you come by
lmaoo downtown at the stop @4:31 is Fitzhugh street, the probation office is on it.. fun times..
Where was the hood part. Looked pretty sleepy. Nothing going on. It’s definitely busier in my city.
Miss the ROC at times, had to take my ass back to the country. Borchard and Remington treated this country boy good.
U a Clinton boy 🦾💯😎 definitely the trenches!!
I've walked around at night without issue in all these places. Rochester has some dangerous areas, but none are shown in this video.
I was born in Rochester, but my family moved out to Williamson, NY when I was 6 years old and had never looked back, but when I do go to visit family like I did on thanksgiving, the city has mostly been gentrified. New apartment buildings, some high quality restaurants and bars were added, downtown has changed dramatically since the early 2000s when it was mostly empty. Aside from the main issue which is the rise in violence, the city structure itself has changed to cater to a certain demographic. Rochester's revitalization program seems to be working.
Yo I was born and raised in williamson.
Like college town? Big fail, all the makers are leaving town, being replaced by takers.
Nah it’s lyell Jefferson chili maple and jay broad st child at dewey Hudson
Why you didn’t go down bay st
It looks pretty dead in Rochester this city has a black cloud over it I couldn't dare live there...
Hood where?? Looks like a beautiful city to me. You were really searching high and low for “hood” areas driving up to people and trying to antagonize them.
He didn't go to the rochester hoods, trust me I live in rochester the city is mostly bad. It's a relatively small city and we're at 82 homicides this year already
@@defyzs7657 it's not mostly bad...its just the bad overwhelms the good.
@@SeriouslySpeaking-nw5nh outside park Ave area, parts of Monroe and the south wedge its pretty trash
Lmao Monroe ave is NOT the hood
Hey Charlie I subscribed to your channel if u get a chance can u go to Columbus Ohio north Linden and drive around there I'll apreciated love n respect brotha stay bless and safe in those streets ❤💯
Kind of sad to see my city up here
Beyond sad
This isn’t even close to the hood in Rochester.🤣😂 honestly Not saying my city is great. But come on now. At least ask us for the spots if your gonna film.
I’m a 14 year old and I live in gates me and my cousin (also 14) also lives in gates decided to go on a walk to snoco at around 7:00pm we were walking in the bike lane and it was pretty dark but we ended up making it to the gas station but on the way back about half way we had to walk through a sketchy neighborhood in the dark and as we were walking some guy yelled “ hey fuck you” and then sucker punched me in the back of the head and then he ran me and my cousin ended up running home and we called the cops but he never actually found out what happened to him
Must be America’s best looking hood.
Not the hood. Rochester is the murder capital of NY state. There’s worse parts than this.
Most of this video is not hood.
@@redcomic619 shorty u trippin it’s buffalo ny we had 65 murders last year idk if our rate is higher cuz we gained 10k in people in a year
@@Foreign780 Nah Rochester has 74 murders so far in 2021
I think he forgot to go to the hood, streets he went down are like going to the country club. If you think Monroe Ave is bad you don't know what bad is.
Lifelong Rochesterian here - as others have pointed out, Monroe Avenue isn't "Hood" but it's definitely really shitty. Not a lot of violence in that area but lots of crackheads asking for money, some of which are eager to show you their stab wounds or help you cop some rocks yourself (this would involve a finder's fee, of course). Here in Rochester my criteria for an area being hood is whether you can buy crack AND heroin there (Hood), or just crack (Not Hood)
dangerous place during daylight, the evening's gotta be 3 times as dangerous
We just had a carjacking here that involved an 18-year-old a 15-year-old freaking 14-year-old
I’m sure they was good boys and excuses must be made for them.
I'll tell you what compliments a CBo video beautifully.
Beer.
In that respect, CBo reflects life very accurately for me.
I love beer
I’m from NYC I never knew Rochester New York was a high crime area, even considered moving there.
As with most cities, it really depends on the neighborhood. Rochester has some very nice areas such as Park Ave, South Wedge, and the Neighborhood of the Arts.
I moved up here from Hempstead lol bruh this is mini 4 boroughs up here😂just missing queens
u just gotta stay in the right areas and its a really artsy hipster type place
Charliebo came to they city and aint check in🤣🤣😂
Idk if he seen the comments but I asked and he came 💯
I want to visit the US one day, but after watching all your vids I THINK ILL STAY IN SCOTLAND 😂
There’s a lot of places you can visit. Just do some research and know where your going.
I’m from Rochester and have lived in the south wedge area for over 5 years now. It’s not the same more violence more shooting n this is downtown area definitely hood anywhere u go
I loved living in the Wedge! I lived on the corner of Gregory & Bond, down the street from Cheesy Eddies, Slice of Life cafe, & a couple of great pizza places, way BEFORE it was cool! 1987-2000! then I moved here to Hawaii!!!
It's scary now.
ROC we made it to the Charliebo3 list 😂😂👌🏿
Next time you're here, to up Plymouth Ave, Jay st, Brooks ave or Genesee st... You'll see
What kind of car do you drive
You really should have gone by jones ave… I helped build a recovery center for addicts… it’s a real rough place
You got that right, after dark….yikes.
Was the guy at 1:25 masked ? ..
I live in the hood near thurston I love the neighborhood, ppl are very friendly.
You’re right on the cusp lol
That’s not the hood of Rochester 😂😂
