i moved to east lansing from metro detroit for school (go green!!) and i gotta say...lansing itself is such an underrated city. the sense of community is so, so strong. i'm a music artist too and there are tons of little groups and open mic events all over the city for people like me, and the folks i've met there are so welcoming and supportive. plus, the shops are absolutely ADORABLE--i have never seen such cute and quirky stores before; old town and reo town are a must-visit!! those two neighborhoods are also especially queer-friendly, which is hard to find in east lansing. i was told so many negative things about lansing--it's unsafe, it's boring, etc--but it is a slept-on city. i kinda hope it continues to be so cuz the rent is pretty cheap from what i can see lol, but i wish other people in michigan would appreciate it more. i rlly hope to stay in this area after i graduate.
Lansing and the surrounding areas are not bad at all. Lived here my whole life and hear folks bad mouth it all the time. It is what you will get out of it I guess. Even the areas or "hoods" detailed in the video are not bad. Go down them frequently and know good folks that live throughout them. Plenty of good to find throughout the capital city, go seek that instead of trouble and you will be fine. :)
The scariest thing about lansing are the damn roads tbh, I've never had a problem with anyone, even late at night...but those potholes will catch you slippin
Baker Street isn't a Lansing hood anymore. You got old info buddy... 30 years ago. It was damn near a no-go zone. Now it's just ugly.. but that could be said for 90 plus percent of Lansing.
Not necessarily. There's been a bunch of stray bullets, from drive by shootings, hitting innocent houses lately. Came inches from a babies crib. It's been getting wild in certain areas
Next time you're here, take the 96 to the South Lansing exit and drive south on Cedar. Pretty good content there if you start driving through the neighborhoods.
Wow...I grew up in Lansing and went to school there in the 80s and 90s. My parents are now in a Lansing suburb, but still attend a church in Lansing...which is only a few blocks from where this video begins. Also, Baker Street had quite the reputation back in the 80s.
In Lansing, the violent crime rate is about 55.7, whereas the national average is 22.7. Meanwhile, the property crime rate in Lansing is 45, only about 10 points higher than the US average.
Lol this dude mainly went around the south side of Lansing . I wouldn’t say it’s the “hood” in my opinion a lot safer than flint, Detroit and Chicago zone 8
Been watching you for some time now. I am originally from Chicago, and can't believe what it looks like now. I grew up in Chicago. My sister lived in Lansing.
Having now lived in Lansing for 5 years it’s such a weird blend of blue collar people just trying their best and white collar government workers. Like any bigger city you’ve got some spots that are great and are developing and others you maybe don’t go to at night. But it’s coming along slowly but surely
I lived in Lansing (1948-61). Went to Christiancy Street School, which stood at Christiancy and Linval Streets. It's been gone over 60 years. Watching your video, I was lost until I saw comments referring to Baker and Donora Streets. I knew kids who lived on those streets! Also, back then every Winter the City Parks Department flooded baseball fields (Sycamore for me), turning them into ice skating rinks with music over the PA system. Thanks for the memories.
I was born here in Lansing, MI. (1965). Shocked that he did one here (Documentary). Lansings' nothing like it was back in the 70's. Way too much crime here nowadays.
I lived in Lansing for several years, graduated from Sexton High School, and worked at the Fisher Body Plant on Verlinden Avenue for six months to earn enough money to finish college. Its a shame to see how far the city has fallen.
He's from the west side actually... A place charlie didn't go by... He also missed north Penn 1000 blk area...as well as north willow ... He ventured somewhat east but didn't go in Walsh park neighborhood area at all. He also missed arbor point, Waverly & jolly, orchard court , turner, & so much more. Lansing is more spread out... Lot of neighborhoods & pockets throughout the whole tri-county... Charlie slipping, must be an ex MSU Student from Detroit ... People always seem to get the 2 confused... Also the baker donora neighborhood is much bigger then 1 street he didn't even turn down anyside streets but Lyons... Much more then this video shows... Ij speaking facts. There are great people & beautiful souls in Lansing Mi, many talented youths searching for opportunities in a very racist capital city.
when i was younger i would run around night or day baker street saginaw street i love the people from the hoods in lansing bc everyone treats you like family love everyone and everyone will love you
The "hoods" of Lansing? I missed them; I must have blinked. If this is the worst of Lansing Michigan, it's holding together pretty well I'd say or was that the point?
Your correct.... My Grandparents lived on Isbell just east of Cedar (Old Decker & Deal). And Isbell is correct, most poeple think it's Is-a-bell fact there iisn't a single A in street name.
#51/7 #Cap City #MurdaMitten … born and raised… been waiting for you to come our way…. I see you started on the WESTside 💪🏽 appreciate ya from the 517 all the way to the Detroit 💙
Baker and Cedar st is considered the West side? He turned off of Wilson st and that's less than a block from my house and I can assure you, this is NOT the West side lol. They call it REO town, but it's really considered the South side.
@@esj5173 Whatever ya say Bud. I’ve lived on Herbert for nearly 50 years and I’ve never heard a single person call it the East side. Just because you guys on Baker “rep” that doesn’t mean it’s true
I lived on the westside of Lansing my whole life and we really don’t have “hoods”. Our whole city is chill asf and not much happens here especially compared to other cities
@esj5173 come on now them lil as shootings 🤣 it be petty shootings not like it be murders or gang related 🤣 I from Detroit so I know lansing is a great city /community it's the capital
Born and raised in Lansing. Grew up around the block from Averill, On Rayborn. I left there in 92. Love seeing the videos and trying to remember the streets!
you should come do the UP hoods. Houghton and baraga counties have a lot especially calumet. half the town is just rotted abandoned buildings and houses.
@@williebeamish5879 the city of houghton is nice except when my house was broken into and robbed 4 years ago. my kids found needles on the ground twice in baraga and they have a drug addict clinic right next to the grocery store. we had squatters living in an abandoned house in our neighborhood this summer. my 9 yr old daughter asked if we lived in the hood and i honestly couldn't say no.
Some of the cleanest hoods I ever seen I ain't seen nothing vacant none of that and I'm down in Detroit our Capital looking pretty decent in the neighborhood
It don't look that bad there's a few areas lot of money made in the city in the streets some of the best looking neighborhoods there's a lot of money made in them it's the capital city so it didn't get it hit as hard as Detroit and Flint but as far as the money go a lot of that a lot of Detroit boys no how the money is in the city of Lansing how they get down good weed dispensary prices too
yeah man, baker street has always had a bad rep. even back in the 90s. overall there are worse places though. liek south kalamazoo st (at least in the 2008-2010 time) stay safe! overall lansing is a great a peaceful city.
Weak. Grasping for straws on this one. Many of those houses are 100 years old. Alot of hard working people there. Baker St was worse 20 years ago. Southside's a mess definitely. Waverly and Jolly area. No fly zone. IF Lansing has a hood, that would be it.
23% African American about 11% Mexican American you have a Martin Luther King boulevard and Malcolm x boulevard the Cesar Chavez boulevard come check the city out
@@anyb5020 I guess I must've been having a lot of supernatural encounters then😂I straight up thought they was actually people 🤔man I gotta get some kinda help I must be tripping hella hard😓crazy shi
Lansing is pretty much a dreary ghost town now but back in the early to mid 90's the South Side was dangerous, Jolly & Waverly, all the way to Seaway & Glenburne
Just avoid renting from Chris Garno...rented from him once and he doesn't like to maintain his properties...raised my kids on Donora,Riverview etc moving back to MI in the spring...worked at One Stop Party Store when Samuel was still alive
Huh? We have tons of stores and shops? Do you realize how large our city is? You can walk 1 or 2 blocks down just about anywhere and find a grocery store, convenient store or gas station. This guy just drove around the same couple streets a bunch of times. Baker-Denora is a pretty bad area just tbh but that's literally all he drove around. Its a stretch of like 5 streets and in the midst of all those houses there's a gas station nearby as well as convenient store, a bar/restaurant, all kinds of shit. The city is like 100x bigger than what he's showing.
Parts of the north n the east side of lansing look the dirtiest. South Lansing is where all the section 8 townhouses n apartments majority of the black community is over there but It use to be the west side. South side has the highest crime rate n the city cause majority blacks hang on the south. Lansing is not East Lansing, East Lansing is a college town full of people happily walk-in thru enjoying they day, very little crime rate. If it is crime out there it’s normally a robbery or some sexual crime sh*t. Maybe 2, 3 killings a year. They Close to 50 thousand people. Lansing has over a 115 thousand people, but it’s a ghost town, u ride thru n you don’t really see people hangin on blocks, everybody n spots gettin high, if u not from Lansing or stayed n for a period of time, you not gone just ride thru n see hood sh*t all day, you gotta kno who is who. Mfs is really tucked off. Lansing is the capital the law will never let the city get as corrupt as Flint, Detroit, Saginaw or Pontiac. The capital get all the state funds first. Lansing is more of crowds of people then hoods, it’s different crowds of people who turn the city up, you got Chicago, Detroit, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, a bunch of different lil cities who be n lansing, cause it’s money but it’s not really to much territory beef so u can live where ever. Might not look the roughest, but Lansing Kill, Rob, Home Invade, Carjack, Hustle, Prostitution, Snitch, just like any other city wit a black urban community. I’m born n raised n sent up that road from the lan,lived on every side of town so I can speak on it. Anything that can happen n the most dangerous hoods n America happens n these decent lookin streets. It’s boring to the people who grew up here so if u from outta town if u don’t know 🥷s who n that crowd ain’t gone be nothing to do for you unless you white. We got a 29% black population so that like over 30 thousand blacks, but the police give us no room to breath or hang without shuttin sh*t down. Welcome to the real Lansing!! If u never seen multiple people gunned down, multiple people lose they life to the state, multiple people who done Od, or been n lansing jails fightin for months n years then you can’t speak on the hoods of Lansing.
Well, that's laughable. You have an interesting perspective of Lansing, but I'm not sure I would call it accurate. I was born in Lansing and I've been here for nearly 50 years, so I can speak from every day experience. The police presence in Lansing is a fraction of what it was years ago and they don't mess with people unless those people are up to no good. Of course there will be exceptions to that, but, don't make it sound like they're harrassing people because of the color of their skin. Thirty some years ago the cops would pull me over constantly and give me crap, but I had enough sense to keep my mouth shut and not act the fool so I didn't end up in a bad situation. They would pull me over for every stupid little thing they could and I'm white. It's nothing like it used to be, so stop making it sound like the police in Lansing are oppressive because people get away with sh!t in this town that we couldn't have dreamed of when I was young. You couldn't imagine how often they would pull us over and pull us out of the car to search us and the car, accuse us of doing dumb sh!t and keep us on the side of the road forever just to mess with us. Like I said, though. I just kept my mouth shut and played nice because I knew they were looking for a reason to escalate the situation.
@@kwantoon Yea the pandemic made the police loosin up, that’s with n the last few years. People always get away been getting away since crime was invented, but I can’t speak on the 70s 80s early 90s but growing up my era the police was not letting us hang on blocks too deep without comin, I seen 16 police pull up to a spot for a domestic n 2010, n some other urban communities they don’t even have the police force to pull up that deep for a misdemeanor crime. Walkin or ridin round wit a ski mask to go to the store would of never happen 10 15 years ago. So you right the traffic cops don’t be on our bac like they use to if we speakin of 2020 era. It use to be so bad we knew certain police names cause they use to harass us so tough.
@@kwantoon And this video is called Lansing hoods, im speaking on the crowds of people who be n Lansing hoods rather u black or any other race, if u hang wit the Lansing crowd that be n these places considered hoods u gone witness everything I stated. Not speaking for the ones lookin from the outside in. The Hood/Street Crowd n the normal Lansing crowd is too different lifestyles. N when I say blacks Im referring to the city as a whole, this not a city that let blacks have sh*t ain’t nothing here for us, what a couple barbershops n some chicken spots. Never said nothing about being oppressed but if we gone keep a 100 yo chances of being pulled over cause you black n lansing is 10x greater then any other race n the city.
@kwantoon if your not blk save your speech for someone else .... The problem is your obviously to old to remember how things have changed.... And this ain't 1972 no more it's 2023 & black males have always been racially profiled on every city state & continent across the earth! Stop that if you (Act right ) garbage 🗑️ & by the looks of your name you sound oriental / asian .... You are exposed lol 😂
@@thelightandthecandlestick1 Keep on perpetuating the victim mentality, apparently it's a lot easier than acting civilized or taking responsibility for your actions. As it turns out, the very people that are making a big stink about reform and change are only doing so because they're profiting from it. They manipulate the weak (the ones they claim to fight for) and profit from donations that never ever make it to the communities that they claim to care about. It would be easy to humiliate you, but I'm not petty and you did a great job of that with your own comment. You can't string together a bunch of words and half ass thoughts and expect anyone to take you seriously. Especially when you make an astonishingly ignorant assumption about my race based on a TH-cam account name. Why is okay for you to profile someone that you know absolutely nothing about? It's obvious you're not terribly bright, but that still doesn't make it okay.
So why do you call this “the hood” like it’s a bad connotation of the word? Looks fine to me. Typical Midwest neighborhood. I’d love to see the downtown area. 🙄
looks mean nothing. its more about what happens and how people act. i've lived in nice looking towns that are straight up hoods but the city keeps it looking nice so you would never know
That's not bad at all...have you ever seen the hoods of Rio de Janeiro in my country Brazil? This "hood" seems like a richm very, very rich area of our cities in Brazil.
i moved to east lansing from metro detroit for school (go green!!) and i gotta say...lansing itself is such an underrated city. the sense of community is so, so strong. i'm a music artist too and there are tons of little groups and open mic events all over the city for people like me, and the folks i've met there are so welcoming and supportive. plus, the shops are absolutely ADORABLE--i have never seen such cute and quirky stores before; old town and reo town are a must-visit!! those two neighborhoods are also especially queer-friendly, which is hard to find in east lansing.

Baker is still the most consistently violent part of the city, I think that little
Baker definitely WAS a no go zone. But we had family over there so it was like home away from home. Shout out to Fisher Body 👊🏽.
hilarious, this is a city where things happen to you on purpose. not randomly, if you're not in anything or peoples business you'll be perfectly fine.
Not necessarily. There's been a bunch of stray bullets, from drive by shootings, hitting innocent houses lately. Came inches from a babies crib. It's been getting wild in certain areas
Im sorry, Lansing, Michigan, what? Hoods? I have lived here all my life and one thing we don't have here is Hoods.
We got hoods if u not in the streets then u got no problem

Just avoid renting from Chris Garno...rented from him once and he doesn't like to maintain his properties...raised my kids on Donora,Riverview etc moving back to MI in the spring...worked at One Stop Party Store when Samuel was still alive
I was always wondering why u hadn’t made a Lansing vid.
At least you made sure to get Baker street
Where do they shop...close or 2 miles away? I dont see pork shops or stakes around.
Huh? We have tons of stores and shops? Do you realize how large our city is? You can walk 1 or 2 blocks down just about anywhere and find a grocery store, convenient store or gas station. This guy just drove around the same couple streets a bunch of times. Baker-Denora is a pretty bad area just tbh but that's literally all he drove around. Its a stretch of like 5 streets and in the midst of all those houses there's a gas station nearby as well as convenient store, a bar/restaurant, all kinds of shit. The city is like 100x bigger than what he's showing.
Nice town
Everybody born here claims they hate this place but thry never leave it lol and i was born here
Ew I don't like kids
Privilege must be fun and being born into a better neighborhood with funding and no food deserts
Parts of the north n the east side of lansing look the dirtiest. South Lansing is where all the section 8 townhouses n apartments majority of the black community is over there but It use to be the west side. South side has the highest crime rate n the city cause majority blacks hang on the south. Lansing is not East Lansing, East Lansing is a college town full of people happily walk-in thru enjoying they day, very little crime rate. If it is crime out there it’s normally a robbery or some sexual crime sh*t. Maybe 2, 3 killings a year. They Close to 50 thousand people. Lansing has over a 115 thousand people, but it’s a ghost town, u ride thru n you don’t really see people hangin on blocks, everybody n spots gettin high, if u not from Lansing or stayed n for a period of time, you not gone just ride thru n see hood sh*t all day, you gotta kno who is who. Mfs is really tucked off. Lansing is the capital the law will never let the city get as corrupt as Flint, Detroit, Saginaw or Pontiac. The capital get all the state funds first. Lansing is more of crowds of people then hoods, it’s different crowds of people who turn the city up, you got Chicago, Detroit, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, a bunch of different lil cities who be n lansing, cause it’s money but it’s not really to much territory beef so u can live where ever. Might not look the roughest, but Lansing Kill, Rob, Home Invade, Carjack, Hustle, Prostitution, Snitch, just like any other city wit a black urban community. I’m born n raised n sent up that road from the lan,lived on every side of town so I can speak on it. Anything that can happen n the most dangerous hoods n America happens n these decent lookin streets. It’s boring to the people who grew up here so if u from outta town if u don’t know 🥷s who n that crowd ain’t gone be nothing to do for you unless you white. We got a 29% black population so that like over 30 thousand blacks, but the police give us no room to breath or hang without shuttin sh*t down. Welcome to the real Lansing!! If u never seen multiple people gunned down, multiple people lose they life to the state, multiple people who done Od, or been n lansing jails fightin for months n years then you can’t speak on the hoods of Lansing.
Well, that's laughable. You have an interesting perspective of Lansing, but I'm not sure I would call it accurate.
I was born in Lansing and I've been here for nearly 50 years, so I can speak from every day experience. The police presence in Lansing is a fraction of what it was years ago and they don't mess with people unless those people are up to no good. Of course there will be exceptions to that, but, don't make it sound like they're harrassing people because of the color of their skin. Thirty some years ago the cops would pull me over constantly and give me crap, but I had enough sense to keep my mouth shut and not act the fool so I didn't end up in a bad situation. They would pull me over for every stupid little thing they could and I'm white.
It's nothing like it used to be, so stop making it sound like the police in Lansing are oppressive because people get away with sh!t in this town that we couldn't have dreamed of when I was young. You couldn't imagine how often they would pull us over and pull us out of the car to search us and the car, accuse us of doing dumb sh!t and keep us on the side of the road forever just to mess with us. Like I said, though. I just kept my mouth shut and played nice because I knew they were looking for a reason to escalate the situation.
@@kwantoon Yea the pandemic made the police loosin up, that’s with n the last few years. People always get away been getting away since crime was invented, but I can’t speak on the 70s 80s early 90s but growing up my era the police was not letting us hang on blocks too deep without comin, I seen 16 police pull up to a spot for a domestic n 2010, n some other urban communities they don’t even have the police force to pull up that deep for a misdemeanor crime. Walkin or ridin round wit a ski mask to go to the store would of never happen 10 15 years ago. So you right the traffic cops don’t be on our bac like they use to if we speakin of 2020 era. It use to be so bad we knew certain police names cause they use to harass us so tough.
@@kwantoon And this video is called Lansing hoods, im speaking on the crowds of people who be n Lansing hoods rather u black or any other race, if u hang wit the Lansing crowd that be n these places considered hoods u gone witness everything I stated. Not speaking for the ones lookin from the outside in. The Hood/Street Crowd n the normal Lansing crowd is too different lifestyles. N when I say blacks Im referring to the city as a whole, this not a city that let blacks have sh*t ain’t nothing here for us, what a couple barbershops n some chicken spots. Never said nothing about being oppressed but if we gone keep a 100 yo chances of being pulled over cause you black n lansing is 10x greater then any other race n the city.
@kwantoon if your not blk save your speech for someone else .... The problem is your obviously to old to remember how things have changed.... And this ain't 1972 no more it's 2023 & black males have always been racially profiled on every city state & continent across the earth! Stop that if you (Act right ) garbage 🗑️ & by the looks of your name you sound oriental / asian .... You are exposed lol 😂
@@thelightandthecandlestick1 Keep on perpetuating the victim mentality, apparently it's a lot easier than acting civilized or taking responsibility for your actions. As it turns out, the very people that are making a big stink about reform and change are only doing so because they're profiting from it. They manipulate the weak (the ones they claim to fight for) and profit from donations that never ever make it to the communities that they claim to care about.
It would be easy to humiliate you, but I'm not petty and you did a great job of that with your own comment. You can't string together a bunch of words and half ass thoughts and expect anyone to take you seriously. Especially when you make an astonishingly ignorant assumption about my race based on a TH-cam account name.
Why is okay for you to profile someone that you know absolutely nothing about? It's obvious you're not terribly bright, but that still doesn't make it okay.
Charlie boy is what I call my son and Lansing mi ain't got no hoods.head to joy Rd where I grew up learn something

So why do you call this “the hood” like it’s a bad connotation of the word? Looks fine to me. Typical Midwest neighborhood. I’d love to see the downtown area. 🙄
looks mean nothing. its more about what happens and how people act. i've lived in nice looking towns that are straight up hoods but the city keeps it looking nice so you would never know
Wtf were you doing in Lansing 🤣🤣😂🧐
