BALTIMORE HOODS LOOK CRAZY

[2Quik4UHoes]

Baltimore has its issues but it’s lowkey a beautiful community.

I’ll never forget going to Baltimore in 2001, and seeing the poverty. This was before The Wire. They had no front doors, there were dozens of kids just running around in the streets, without a parent in sight.

Mass exodus of industry, without anything to fall back on.

The parts I avoid



The thing is the nice areas and the ones that look like this are so close in Baltimore so I drive through these places sometimes. It always amazes me honestly.

I've been to every U.S. major city for the most part and Baltimore is probably #1 when it comes to how bad the hoods look but you can tell how beautiful the blocks used to be.

One day, I was in West Baltimore and it really looked like a scene out of the Wire. Cats looking like Bubbles pushing shopping carts down the street. Junkies everywhere.

I got a lot of love for the city tho, it has a charm to it that most coastal cities no longer have. I want to see it regain it's prosperity without all the brothas and sistas being pushed out. Just tearing down vacants without building anything on it will make it even more depressing IMO.

Chicago has torn down a lot of buildings on the southside and it doesn't look pretty to me. They even got this project where you can buy a vacant lot if you have a plan for it but I'm not sure how successful the program has been.

My sentiments as well

Spent my early 20s in Bmore

Certain parts of West Baltimore and East Baltimore looked like a broken war zone. Sheesh!

This is East Baltimore in the 50’s

Notice how thriving the city looked.

Apparently, the white flight and the 68 riots is what led to the decline of Bmore.

More black folks moved in the city. More white folks moved in the burbs

By the mid-1970s, handful of kingpins with associates made up of family members and trusted associates controlled a wide share of narcotics distribution in Baltimore.

In the mid-1980s New York City dealers flooded into Baltimore with deeply discounted products in what felt like a city invasion.

In general, the distribution of heroin in the streets is what led to high drug addiction in the 1990s.

Most of those abandoned homes ending turning into trap houses. Seen this with my own eyes fam.

That was around Pennsylvania Ave which is one of the worst areas of the city. Of course it looks bad


There’s some real nice areas here tho but everybody always focuses on the fukked up ones and then say how it looks like a war torn country or some shyt.

looks like the sequel to bloodborne

A lot of the city is a complete shythole.

The city as a ton of untapped potential, probably the most. If not there than Detroit.

Every city has nice parts and fukked up parts but people are comparing the bad parts of your city to other fukked up places in the country and telling you it’s even more fukked up than those places. I understand being prideful, but come on, breh.
