CharlieBo......WELCOME to East New York Brooklyn. I lived in the Penn Wortman NYC Housing projects for 28.5 years and from 9:22 to the end of your video was my old neighborhood. I would have been proud to ride around with you and show you the REAL hardcore areas. The thing about East NY.....the people can be VERY hospitable when they want to. My husband and family can tell you so much about how the neighborhood has changed. Back in the 70's, 80 and 90's it was a REALLY BAD place to live (crime rate was off the charts, poverty, domestic violence, etc.) I was followed into the project buildings and almost sexually/violently attacked (seriously) but the hand of God saved me. The neighborhood has improved a lot compared to over 20 years ago. Let me know the next time you come back to East NY Brooklyn. I would to take a picture with you and whoever drives with you and post it on my Facebook page. God bless and drive back home safe.
Kelly Norvell that would make for an AWESOME & more entertaining video if Charliebo313 takes you up on that offer, I have been suggesting such to him for at least a year now....just for him to have a native of the area either drive him around & explain & give himself & viewers current knowledge & history of the place would be so unique & it will bring an element of real life to the video.... it would be the best thing since his old gas station/ corner store videos in Detroit....When I get time I'm going to do such videos, in my eyes I find nothing better than to have a native of each city give a personal tour of the area & explaining history in the area plus telling some famous or notable people who came from the area....Personally once I reach the point where I can monetize my channel then I would pay the person gas money & buy dinner at a restaurant of there choice. Happy NewYears Kelly & may God bless you.
@Pretty Woman .....Happy 2020 Pretty Woman. Girrrl......I sure do have a love story. I was dating a guy back in the 80's who looked like Russell Simmons (for real). All of a sudden he dumped me to take back his ex girlfriend. My head was all F_ _ _ed up. A few months later I run into my ex boyfriend's homeboy who told me he was shot in the head inside the lobby of his project building and died. Now, had I still been with him, I probably wold have been shot dead too (being an innocent bystander). From that day on.....I try NOT to question why God allows things to happen; God can see what we cannot coming around the corning. God bless.
Property values in East New York are skyrocketing. A big new townhouse (5 bedrooms) just sold on Wortman Avenue two blocks south of Linden Blvd for 1.3 million. I told my mother (we used to live on Hendrix Street) and she said you could have bought up the entire block back when we lived there for that. I hope the residents are not forced out by gentrification. There has to be someplace working class people can afford to live in Brooklyn.
@@propane718 Wrong! Many Dominicans did not even live in East New York back in the day. First it was the italians and Irish that had that neighborhood locked in the 70's and 80's. Then Puerto Ricans came over took that whole hood to themselves. Dominicans came way after like in 2010 and the years after.
My old hood. Jersey Ave. We always used to walk to that White Castle and Blimpies on Linden. ENY was rough coming up in the 80’s and early 90’s but I got a lot of great memories. This video took me down memory lane.
During the late 80s 90s early 2000s East NY was doing work. Cypress Projects, Pink Houses, Blvd Houses, Linden had some serious gun play back then. Serious stick up kids too. All over BK had serious stick up kids robbing everything moving. Shit is quiet compared to what it use to be. The Mafia graveyard is over there too
@@streetstruck8951 ok why are you so mad that's basically how everything in America works it's called capitalism and it's inescapable so Idk why you have to call this person an imbecile especially if you know who vlad is that means you've also seen his interviews and contributed to his views..
Detroit is an abandoned place while NY is getting overcrowded amd the cost of living is a problem not only for the hood, but virtually anyone who isnt rich, out her ppl work like two jobs and still have a side hustle so two cities with different struggles
Cause no1 gaf about detroit any person from another country if u ask them where would they like to visit when they come to the usa they say new york cali or miami
You should go to camden New Jersey. When I was visiting jersey my sister needed to go their rq and when I tell you that place is hood its hood🤦🏽♀️ boarded houses, junkies on the side of the road, police yellow taping, kids on the streets selling stuff to make quick money, abandoned houses vandalized or being used as hide outs. Man go to that place its crazy
There is a great documentary on Netflix called "The Seven Five" it's about the 75th percent in ENY which was considered the worst police precinct in America for many years it will blow your mind
The architecture of the old brick buildings is gorgeous. I love the older homes, too. Like any city you have the mega apartment complexes but they are not star of the show. A lot of these streets could pass for Anytown, USA. Thanks Charlie :o)
Man you are sooo great!!! Really love your videos. I thought I was the only one into cities' suburbs...all my friends believe I am some kind of freak and think my travels pictures are crap :-)) I wish I could hire you and take a ride with you next time I'm off to NYC!

CharlieBo u fierce..... I just toured the nation though your lens. We've always wanted a national glimpse of the people in the hoods. I have never... Then saw my neighborhood here in Brooklyn. You should submit your work to all the black colleges. You're the best ...10's across...
Gery Habul I understand that however he didn’t even cross linden boulevard and if u are from the East you know linden runs through it- what about the infamous White Castle ? Gersh park ? R you serious?
I grew up in East New York, right there by that first turn on Pitkin Ave. between Euclid and Pines st. Back in the 1970's there used to be a Bohacks supermarket on the NW corner of Pitkin and Euclid. That pocket back then was predominantly PR. I left for Miami in 1990, it was terrible with the crack and the dirty cops at the 75 were down with all that sh*t. I've visited after, it ain't paradise but it has improved significantly imo.
Alot of new housing went up. I'm not from east ny but i remember driving through there in the 70's and 8o's and there were vacant lots and abandoned buildings all over then. This like the south bronx and harlem underwent alot of new buildings and revitalizations in the late 90's through now. Ironically alot of the money that went into this was funded by wall street as it went through an economic boom also through most of the same time period
Revisiting this video September 2020. Holy shit Summer 2020 Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens New York has suffered the most violence, murders and shootings, I have seen since the early 2000s. I got off the train and was Walking down Fulton st near McDonald’s , walking down the street a SUV rolls past a group of people almost a block away and I hear the shots ringing out. Sounded like multiple shooters in the truck and two or more returning fire from the group. Ducked down next to a parked car. Thank god I didn’t have my headphones in like usual. Be safe out here IDK what is going on these past 3 months but it’s been a war zone
I used to live in this neighborhood so I’m watching this to see if I can recognize the area he drives in Edit: holy shit I actually have been to some of these parts lmao and I remember the crossroad intersection at the end of the video I would drive through with my parents to baseball practice damn I miss ny

Jaami Ibn Shabazz very good way to put it. ENY came a long way from the late 80s to early 90s. Still rough here and there but love my hood and definitely can be walked through.
@@allaahjaamiibnshabazzallaa1435 ......You are 100% right, I used to live in ENY over 20 years ago. Grew up there in the 70's, 80's and 90's. The violence was off the hook and so was the poverty level and the domestic violence in the apartments (lots of men used to beat their wife or girlfriend in the projects hallways for people to see - for real). I go through the old hood once in awhile and for the most part it's better now compared to decades ago (for real). God bless.
NYC as a whole has done a complete 180 since the 80s and 90s when it was next to lawless. But East New York is constantly in the news for murders robberies gangs drugs. It’s really amazing how they cleaned up the biggest city in America that quickly. Which proves it can be done in Detroit, Baltimore, Camden. But those places don’t make any money, so no one cares, and nothing will be done . Google pictures of the Bronx in the 70s and 80s it’s probably the worst urban decay of American history. A thousand times worse than Detroit
This is no longer the HOOD, I am from there and shit has gotten 10x better... They got white folks all up in there now,..... Do yall know how much rent is for a 1 bedroom in East NY? IT'S LIKE like $1700 stright..........and them landlord's don't be bullshittin either..... It not like the 90's.... It good now..
My mf hood! I grew up in East New York Brklyn! I went to P.s. 224 Is 302 & Franklin K Lane HS! Was out the frm abt 1990-2010. Still come thru the hood every now & thn. My son goes to Transit Tech HS now. The East will ALWAYS be apart of who I am. ❤✌🏾💯
I Lived there in 1970s on the first block shown in the video 2313 Pitkin ave and Barbey st .Most of the apartment buildings were abandoned during the 1970s and 1980s .In the 70s I would hear fire truck sirens every night because a building was burning down,this went on until Mayor Koch Built the Nehemiah houses in East New York and Brownsville filling up blocks of vacant lots and fixing abandoned buildings that were empty for 20 years or more,this changed how East New York and Brownsville looked.Cities like Philly,Atlanta,detroit,Camden,Baltimore and Indiana have took its place as the most run down and abandoned cities to live.But there is hope for these places,I know because me and many others lived through the same conditions in the 70s and 80s.Read Nehemiah 1 PEACE!
Why does the title have to be “hood” in Brooklyn. People live in neighborhoods, and some neighborhoods struggle. A lot of that struggle was created by the awful practice known as redlining. So, as you drive through the neighborhood of East New York, understand that it was created by unfair and discriminatory practices towards people of color. Despite poverty and discrimination, East New York has created some of the most outstanding and upstanding people. Please do your research before callously naming a video post.
that even poorer Americans are so afraid to drive at least a smaller car instead of a big one to have less money for more important stuff is such a joke.
Now , east New York , Brooklyn. This is the hood amongst hoods. LoL at people who say “ ooh it doesn’t look that bad “ Yeah. Go there by yourself. Spend a day. Walk around. Change your mind. I’m from Paterson nj. East ny , BK is king of kings

Is East NY still bad ?
Hard Livings bad compared to most of nyc ? Yes. Bad compared to how it used to be ? Hardly
Jaami Ibn Shabazz very good way to put it. ENY came a long way from the late 80s to early 90s. Still rough here and there but love my hood and definitely can be walked through.
@@allaahjaamiibnshabazzallaa1435 ......You are 100% right, I used to live in ENY over 20 years ago. Grew up there in the 70's, 80's and 90's. The violence was off the hook and so was the poverty level and the domestic violence in the apartments (lots of men used to beat their wife or girlfriend in the projects hallways for people to see - for real). I go through the old hood once in awhile and for the most part it's better now compared to decades ago (for real). God bless.
yes
NYC as a whole has done a complete 180 since the 80s and 90s when it was next to lawless. But East New York is constantly in the news for murders robberies gangs drugs. It’s really amazing how they cleaned up the biggest city in America that quickly. Which proves it can be done in Detroit, Baltimore, Camden. But those places don’t make any money, so no one cares, and nothing will be done . Google pictures of the Bronx in the 70s and 80s it’s probably the worst urban decay of American history. A thousand times worse than Detroit
Confines of the 7-5
There’s a place in ENY called Da Liquor store and when u pass that u know u in da hood

Jasmin Janay lane high school used to be a war zone. I lived on 75 and elderts
I Lived there in 1970s on the first block shown in the video 2313 Pitkin ave and Barbey st .Most of the apartment buildings were abandoned during the 1970s and 1980s .In the 70s I would hear fire truck sirens every night because a building was burning down,this went on until Mayor Koch Built the Nehemiah houses in East New York and Brownsville filling up blocks of vacant lots and fixing abandoned buildings that were empty for 20 years or more,this changed how East New York and Brownsville looked.Cities like Philly,Atlanta,detroit,Camden,Baltimore and Indiana have took its place as the most run down and abandoned cities to live.But there is hope for these places,I know because me and many others lived through the same conditions in the 70s and 80s.Read Nehemiah 1 PEACE!
visit Cooney Island, Brooklyn Please!!!
Bro you should go to East NY at night lmao.
Some things never change so sad I love you still though Brooklyn you made me
Why does the title have to be “hood” in Brooklyn. People live in neighborhoods, and some neighborhoods struggle. A lot of that struggle was created by the awful practice known as redlining. So, as you drive through the neighborhood of East New York, understand that it was created by unfair and discriminatory practices towards people of color. Despite poverty and discrimination, East New York has created some of the most outstanding and upstanding people. Please do your research before callously naming a video post.
As long as you live in the hood, all deli foods and rent will be cheap no matter what hood, those are the benefits in living in a ghetto area
Payasito Mamon la renta es demasiada ahora bro. They charging 1600 for a one bed

East COAST IS BAD ASS.

that even poorer Americans are so afraid to drive at least a smaller car instead of a big one to have less money for more important stuff is such a joke.
Go to 5th ave projects in Paterson before they kncok them down. They are abandoned at the moment.
They got them fenced off.
