Allentown can be more than you bargain for when you least expect it. It’s no Camden or Jersey City but I dare you to take a walk anywhere between Front & Tilghman to 15th & Walnut alone at night. The people saying it’s soft will realize quickly how severely they underestimated Allentown. Nice video my man, keep them coming.
I just looked up the homicide stats for Allentown and it's very low compared to other places that size. Sometimes it doesn't even average one homicide a month, I would be comfortable living in a place with that rate.
fred smith the year just started n two people just got killed at a gas station in Allentown like my comment above says if you lookin for trouble you gotta walk certain blocks
The year started over two months ago but what does that have to do with it? People can get killed at anytime, anywhere. I was just making the point that I looked up the homicide stats for Allentown after seeing this vid and it's only averaged about one per month, if even that much for the past ten years or so and that's not very many where I come from, or in a lot of other places. And the homicide rate there, which is based on it's population is still low. But that isn't anything to be ashamed of, those who live there should be relieved that the murder rate isn't as high as it is in a lot lot of other places, I know that I wouild be.
Yea the homicide rate is super low plus the Lehigh Valley is such a wonderful place to live however the crime rate is super high a lot of theft robbery rape assault and drug crime. Somebody my friend knows had their car stolen from the 7-11 and the city is generally trashy
I actually like it, seems peaceful & clean. It's a shame that we have a government in place that agrees to trade deals that suck entire industries and manufacturing jobs right from out of our country into the hands of others abroad. These small towns and cities would be in MUCH better shape had that not been the case.
@@jeffreyrodriguez1913 they want us in the cities to control the population more easily. They are even trying to make it so that vaccines are mandatory and you can get jail time. Look up bbn on youtube Bill Gates depopulation agenda. Once you watch that let me know and I'll say more
Nice! Glad you survived your run-in with the orange hat gang. Sketchiest shoe deal I've ever seen. It looked like it was about to go a whole other direction for a second at 5:11. Allentown is not that dangerous but there is definitely trouble in certain areas. Love your channel- it's cool that you made the trip out here!
Lmao yoo the shoe deal wasn't gunna go left chill 😂🤣. But seriously yeah shit does definitely happen there but I never felt like my safety was at risk in the same way if i was in philly or something.
I live in Lower Macungie..different world than what you see here in this vid. In fact the West side of Allentown is still absolutely gorgeous. you're right, still some nice spots.
my Uncle lived at 15th and Linden until the mid 90's. 15th Street is no longer the Mendoza line between nice area & not so nice! it's really gotten rough in that section. My grandparents were at 4th and Washington until the early 90's and I can remember in the 80's walking around town with my grandpa and it was still very nice
Allentown is not a hood. I lived there for a year and loved it, should have never left. Don't get me wrong you got bullshit every where u go but I ain't witness not one serious incident when I was there. I'm from Camden , New Jersey you want to see hoods and bullshit come take a walk with me down Pollock in the Summer.
As far as PA cities go, The only two cities (out side of Philly and Pittsburgh of course) where you will see the "gangs/drug dealers/hood/boarded up homes" type stuff are Harrisburg and Reading (Harrisburg looks just as bad as Philly/Pitts bad parts). Chester is really bad but I consider that to be more in the Philly Metro. Scranton, Allentown, Erie ect. all have their rough areas but noting that will make your jaw drop.
This is hilarious, and why I will respect Charles (lol), he hits major cities (i.e. Pitts, Philly, NYC, etc. but also gets local, lesser-known "hoods as well" like Allentown, Chester, Camden, etc.). Props to you, my guy! You'za true traveler! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Can you go to Reading, PA? It's about 30 minutes south of Allentown. I grew up there, but unfortunately, it consistently ranks as one of the poorest cities in America. It doesn't look too bad in my opinion (it looks just like Allentown), but I want people to see that it isn't so bad. Btw, I have family in Detroit too. Keep doing what you're doing brotha.
commenting in 2021. Lived in allentown many years and still live close by and visit regularly. It is not a scary town, a couple of dicey areas for sure, but overall a nice place. I often run the beautiful lehigh parkway, and would rate most of allentown safe. Like most cities, you just don't wander certain areas alone at night. Now Reading, that is a whole other story, I know people that will not go in daylight without being armed.
I wouldn't trust Allentown. Used to be a delivery driver for a business located in Bethlehem. One night I was having issues with a customer, business wise. Guy comes behind me and starts arguing telling me to move (I'm in a spot where there's literally nowhere to park and he could have went around the block) and he was threatening to shoot me. Another guy wanted to fight me because I wouldn't give him his order because he didn't have ID. I needed to scan to finish the delivery and before he let me tell him I could get the ID item removed, he started yapping away and I walked away with my manager on the phone. Both incidents happened late 2019. But yeah, nothing to really be worried about. There are plenty of shootings but nothing really more than incidents that were instigated/targeted.
I live in Bethlehem p.a. been through Allentown as a visting nurse.in it aint bad.I was born in raised in harlem ny in the 70s in 80s .In Allentown is not even close to what i grew up in.
Ive just noticed this, I've lived in allentown all my life you have to be kidding if you call any part of it hood i would say people don't have a lot of common sense and its borring as hell but thats it just like any other small city
Not bad, not bad at all, It seems like these people have some self respect I didnt see any filth on the streets, and even the if the buildings look as if they could use some paint they still look like they were in pretty good shape, my hats off to these people keep up the good work DONT STOP TRYING GOOD PEOPLE OF ALLENTOWN
I went to Bloomsburg University and my roomate was from the suburbs of Allentown (not the city part like this). But I brought her home with me to Kensington, Philly and she legit left crying. No exaggeration either 😂😂
@TheTruthQuest123 JFK was my most favorite president. Although I consider myself more on the conservative side I was raised liberal. Are you moving to Philly or Allentown?
@TheTruthQuest123 You may have a problem finding a city with 60,000 or less ppl. I'm in Philly and I think Philly has over 1,000,000. But there are tons and tons of mechanic jobs here. Philly is a blue collar city. But the ppl will take sometime to get used to. Compared to down south the ppl up north are a tad bit rough around the edges and do not give southern hospitality. We have a chip on our shoulders. Esp Philadelphians. As for safeness stay out of North Philly. Northeast Philly is still nice with single homes in some parts. I live in the far northeast. I'm about a mile before the city ends. Good luck. Hopefully you come to the city of brotherly love. Some neighborhoods in Philly that are still nice are Bridesburg, Port Richmond, Fishtown, Morrell Park, Parkwood and Fox Chase to name a few.
TheTruthQuest123 Yes you can find something affordable in Allentown or Reading. There are many jobs up here and send me a private message if you want more information.
Allentown, Bethlehem, York, Reading, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Poconos huge cesspools of degeneracy and crime. All but Harrisburg have a similar theme sociologically speaking.
Next time you hit Nap go on 42 Post Mitthoefer 36 post the houses their krogers closed up due to theft grade school is boarded up abandon houses really hood asf
Charlie you should do a video of where you grew up and tell us and talk to us at the same time and tell us about some streets you came up on. Where are you from though?
One is in Detroit and talks about where I grew up and went to school, and another one is about Paterson where I was born. I'll look them up when I have time if you don't find them first.
My hometown. Sadly Allentown been in the dumps for the last 20+ years and worst in the last 15 years. Keep voting for that crooked democrat mayor and let him finish putting Allentown down the drain
I'm from a neighboring town and moved down south to texas. Best thing I ever did. Awful jobs and high cost of living in allentown. Lots of old houses that cost way too much. Everyone up in here defending allentown but seriously it didnt have anything for me so I left and I love texas so much
Not that bad of an area. Keep to yourself and dont bother anyone and they wont bother you. I deliver fuel oil all over them streets. Customers are nice and humble. Some have a hard time with English but I get it. They cant afford to live in a 300,000 dollar home. Crime is all over. I live in a great area. 3 car garages. Dr's and lawyers. Huge homes. But 2 weeks ago a Drug overdose happened 2 streets from me. Then a kid stole a car. Dont matter where you live. It's all around
I lived in Allentown for many years. Couple things to remember, the lower number streets you get from 15th street the worse it gets, the West end is where all the rich live it's very expensive, the east side is hard, the south side is tolerable, the North end is all malls and stuff. And the area from 17th and Hamilton to 12 and Hamilton is known as death row, just because in this stretch almost every building is a funeral parlor. Oh and don't forget to check out the Allentown farmers market it's the best thing to do in Allentown...
I don't know but, have you noticed that people who go to work everyday and come home and shut the front door and go to sleep rarely get in trouble with the police? I wonder why?
There are worse places than Allentown. I've been living here for almost 7 years. I've never been shot at, I've never been robbed and I've never had people try to steal my car or damage my home. It's not bad. Just know where the sketch areas are.
Aliquippa ain't pittsburgh that shit on Beaver county lol that ain't shit compared to the east side of Pittsburgh where I'm from,Homewood,Larimer,Wilkins burg,Lincoln Lemingtpn,East hills,Garfield Is the real Heart of Pittsburgh
Im from Bethlehem but iv stayed in allentown before and been all through the city and i never felt worried for my safety like if i was in philly or something even when i had to go cop there before i got clean. Thats a great thing though but no doubt shit can still go left.
Listen i aint gonna diss nobody hood , but all i know is South Philadelphia is the most Legendary Hood in all of Pennsylvania . Da P 💯💪🏼 Even our white boys get down.
I had to work in center city Allentown and quit the job quickly. It is a hood, trust me, and it’s disgusting. There was a shooting outside the store at 3pm, but there is too many of those. Also I witnessed plenty of street fights, some involving more than 50 people in the afternoon. The Lehigh valley has the worst people I ever met, even in the nice areas
Live right across the bridge and it’s really not bad. No open air drug markets unless you really really go looking. Philly and reading way worse. Allentown kinda just sucks all around.
I've lived here since I was around 10 years old. I'm 40 now. Always been wanting to leave since day one. But, 7th street was sooooooooo much quieter when we moved here. Now, it's a literal shit stain eye sore piece of trash. Rent now is fucking sky high. I'm fucking tryna look for a new place to live, and these apartments and houses for rent is fucking insane.
Allentown is not a hood it gets a bad rap for people being black and Hispanic and usually there nice people and homeless people it's not a hood it's a really nice place you just don't know the area
I'm planning on moving over there sometime soon from Brooklyn. The only thing about over there is, shit looks dead. What time do the stores close over there? And how far are the liquor stores?! LOL I don't need to chill with people to have a good time. All I need is my wife and a drink and we're good... 😎
Let me warn u now, I'm from nyc and this shit is ass out here. Trust me. Its nice at first because u think "oh no buildings, nice place to live" but u gonna be stuck in the crib all day with nothing to do if u not working. You may like it but prepared to be bored and deal with idiots.
Corner store at 4:53 caught on fire a few days ago, the place has black marks all over the building. ' This video only shows the 18102 Zip code of Allentown. 18104, and 18103, has sections which have $450,000 homes and above. Also , they are building up the center city part alot. Putting in many sky scrappers, and new condo buildings.
no but i can recommend stroudsburg or east stroudsburg. i’m 16 and lived in ES for about 7+ years now. they have lots of stores near by including a walmart super center which i work at. there are plazas and it looks kinda like allentown in some areas. only problem is the new yorkers… and new jersians, but mostly the new yorkers. it is nice though
@@ambardiaz22ad If you want to avoid crime stay west of 16th street. But honestly the dangerous neighborhoods have a way better art scene and a nicer community, so, something to consider.

Allentown residents should be happy it used to be terrible in the 90s it has made a complete 360
There’s like 20 blocks that are hood in Allentown nothing compared to Philly. Atown people are a diff breed.

Im from Bethlehem but iv stayed in allentown before and been all through the city and i never felt worried for my safety like if i was in philly or something even when i had to go cop there before i got clean. Thats a great thing though but no doubt shit can still go left.
crazy how east and west pa are two completly diff worlds man.....
Yo Charlie come to Wilkes barre Pennsylvania
Is it this quiet at night? I think not
You call this a hood? you ain't been to Pittsburgh PA yet
West Bmore makes this look like Hollywood lol
This fool out here buying shoes and he drove the ‘hood to see if it was safe to get $10 neke
Good shit Charlie
Hood where you had to set up the shoe sales guy for it to seem hood. 🤣
Listen i aint gonna diss nobody hood , but all i know is South Philadelphia is the most Legendary Hood in all of Pennsylvania . Da P 💯💪🏼 Even our white boys get down.
Gateway to the Poconos!
No it ain't
Most of the hustlers are rats from out of town
Riverview Terrace, The Acres and Cumberland Gardens... those were the hoods years ago!
Cumberland gardens nice af now. Especially since it's right next to salisbury township
Is this the town Billy Joel sings about?
Welcome to the Valley!
You should do one on reading,pa
That's what I said and Pottstown and chester
This where dorney park at
And we're living here in Allentown
How is it like?
I had to work in center city Allentown and quit the job quickly. It is a hood, trust me, and it’s disgusting. There was a shooting outside the store at 3pm, but there is too many of those. Also I witnessed plenty of street fights, some involving more than 50 people in the afternoon. The Lehigh valley has the worst people I ever met, even in the nice areas
You got that right. Worst people ever
i would hate to raise my kids in a place where there is no grass for them to play on.
So when are you starting your Safari Tour business? I’d pay to witness the modern wilderness
Victory .Studios go back to the trailer camp where you grew up in
You need to go to trenton nj again and go through 100 block walnut ave and the wilbur section worst neighborhood in nj
I moved from Chicago chiraq Illinois 15 Years ago to allentown I live in 7nth n Hamilton then on liberty street
I deliver bread to the supermarkets . I also got some hight quality weed bro
Buildings look cool. I'd live there
They're filled with mice and roaches
Live right across the bridge and it’s really not bad. No open air drug markets unless you really really go looking. Philly and reading way worse.
Allentown kinda just sucks all around.
Allentown ain’t sweet word to my folks, lumber st and a few other spots get busy.
This is coming from a person who lived downtown l.a and watts this ain't nuthin compared 😂😫
allen towns the hood? been there plenty of times never thought nothing of it
pantherfan 4055 where in Allentown you been at ?
@@michaelriveravargas375 he prolly bin at the white people block
Not exactly plush, but you've shown us worse. Someday someone should plot them on a graph, for science.
charlieboi still rockin it
I haven't been to Allentown since I went to NYC in summer of 2008 when i was 9.
I've lived here since I was around 10 years old. I'm 40 now. Always been wanting to leave since day one. But, 7th street was sooooooooo much quieter when we moved here. Now, it's a literal shit stain eye sore piece of trash. Rent now is fucking sky high. I'm fucking tryna look for a new place to live, and these apartments and houses for rent is fucking insane.
Totally agree.
Allentown is not a hood it gets a bad rap for people being black and Hispanic and usually there nice people and homeless people it's not a hood it's a really nice place you just don't know the area
no it is a hood
Then ur Def not from center city
Is this the Amish hoods or what? Never heard of this town.
Wikipedia is your friend, Chugga Boom.
Na lmao
Wrong County but you're close. look up Berks, York and Lancaster County. Reading, York, Lancaster all have 'Amish Country' Hoods
Lancaster county Berks Lebanon parts of Chester and york are were the amish areas are
Yes actually this is the amish hood.. go 20 minutes north west and you'll be surrounded by farming plots
Between year 2000, to 2005 came back to Orlando, Florida 2006 home sick I missed my family's I'm glad to have move back in Orlando,fl
.....okay. Now I need to re-listen. Lol!!
I'm planning on moving over there sometime soon from Brooklyn. The only thing about over there is, shit looks dead. What time do the stores close over there? And how far are the liquor stores?! LOL I don't need to chill with people to have a good time. All I need is my wife and a drink and we're good... 😎
Let me warn u now, I'm from nyc and this shit is ass out here. Trust me. Its nice at first because u think "oh no buildings, nice place to live" but u gonna be stuck in the crib all day with nothing to do if u not working. You may like it but prepared to be bored and deal with idiots.
Moors Matter did u move yet
Stay over there. The reason eastern PA is so shitty is because everyone from NJ and NY infiltrate and bring their hood crap with them
I wouldn't take a valet job in Allentown or Philly. I be holding up traffic and fucking and everybody shit up trying to park.
Amazing how many TH-camrs have driven through here... 3:37 Great pizzeria!!
Just did South Bethlehem! Doing Allentown soon!
you were on the worst place of allentown and still is a good area to live clean with nice people..sooo allentown is great
no its bad
Nope not the hood only secondary streets and post-industrial buildings.
Looks like average midwest east coast america homes but definitely makes erie pa look nicer
Hah,, you just drove through my city,, welcome!
Corner store at 4:53 caught on fire a few days ago, the place has black marks all over the building. '
This video only shows the 18102 Zip code of Allentown. 18104, and 18103, has sections which have $450,000 homes and above. Also , they are building up the center city part alot. Putting in many sky scrappers, and new condo buildings.
Yeah. Making the mothafuckin rent super fucking expensive everyday in Lehigh County, especially Allentown.
I'm trying to leave Philadelphia. Can anyone tell me the good neighborhoods in Allentown and the bad ones to avoid?
no but i can recommend stroudsburg or east stroudsburg. i’m 16 and lived in ES for about 7+ years now. they have lots of stores near by including a walmart super center which i work at. there are plazas and it looks kinda like allentown in some areas. only problem is the new yorkers… and new jersians, but mostly the new yorkers. it is nice though
@@leeroyglasscock good to know thank u I'll look into it 👍🏼
@@ambardiaz22ad If you want to avoid crime stay west of 16th street. But honestly the dangerous neighborhoods have a way better art scene and a nicer community, so, something to consider.
@@brinajoybrunell1608 thanks for the info hun 🤙🏼
@@leeroyglasscock that’s wild I work at another store in the Pocono Plaza, small world
