Philly hoods are just different...I get PTSD watching this..

[ThrobbingHood]

You know what? I don’t blame Eve fleeing to the U.K. after seeing this video.

The mayor dropped a bomb on black folks in a Philly neighborhood in the 1980s. This is how it’s designed to look.

 

[Leasy]

racism is why Philly is the way it is. The term redlining started from Philly.

 

[DaPresident]

Yup. This video ain’t shocking at all. Still parts of the Bx & Brooklyn look like this

They built them all the same.


I go up to Bmore or drive to Philly to my aunt house and I honestly can’t tell the difference. They look exactly the same. Idk if that’s a good or bad thing

 

[Bryan Danielson]

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS RIGHTEOUS...HAALLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

screw yall man!!! I have a cousin that lives out there….


Matter fact this video drove through his spot at one portion of the video


Yes, not even I just roll up there without him….. them cats don’t know me like that and I honestly don’t want any problems

 

[newarkhiphop]

prior to GPS days, printed out map quest directions, drove a hour and a half. I had no idea it would look like that, at the time things were so bad they had no police and state patrol had taken over, they also had no fire department. It really looked like video in the OP/the wire.

As far as the deaf pawg it was a waste of time I can admit my L, spent 2 hours watching some bullshyt on TV.

then Goin home I took a wrong turn and it started storming, what should have been a hour and a half drive back turned into over 3 hours.

Just read the other day Philly being the largest US City in poverty

When u add black poverty rate and Hispanic poverty all together u looking at disaster

But I wouldn’t be surprised if the city politicians and local city councilmen and women are pocketing money and probably giving contracts out to white contractors with nothing trickling down to the hoods..

 

[Cladyclad]

From Detroit and our shyt looks like a war zone

Never been to Philly but I don’t like how tight the streets are. Can get jammed at any second and no escape

Man we dont got no street where i can jump from curb to curb lol

Crazy how Baltimore, Camden, Philly these East coast cities (I’m talking all of north Jersey Jersey City, Newark, etc) they ALL look the same.


If you didn’t see the license plates and phone numbers on the stores, you couldn’t tell which of these cities you were in…

They all look so desolate and cold. But it’s what we know. I’ve lived in the east coast (Atlantic region) my whole life and this is just how things look. DC, Jersey, NYC all these places I’ve lived and they all look alike

Nah DC and New York don't look like this. DC is probably the cleanest major city I've been to tbh be honest. NY wasnt thatbad either outside of a few barely gentrified areas of the Bronx

Yes indeed, all victims of the the War on Drugs and the destruction of the Black blue collar family..

[Gloxina]

Reminds me of certain parts of Baltimore.

I was about to say! Parts of Philly and Bmore look the same and you want no parts of either of em

 

[RadaMillz]

I'm glad I live in the westcoast, im too claustrophobic

Parts of Garrison BLVD in Baltimore look like a bomb went off! I try not to drive through those type of areas just due to how depressing it is. Crazy how the nice neighborhoods can be 5 blocks from it all.

Frfr. Our house are beautifully built and neighborhoods would be nice if everything wasn’t dilapidated and burned up. Wish I could’ve seen the city when it was flourishing.

People wonder why I wanna get out of the state Throw in depressing winters too

Philly could be a beautiful city. It has the architecture and city planning in place to look like a European city.
