This footage was not shot in Mobile, AL. it was shot in the city just north of Mobile, AL in Prichard, AL. And the homes that you see boarded up belong to the City of Prichard. And what is up with the boarded up homes is that the about twenty years ago the Government went into the projects and bulldozed everything then built brand new houses and in less than twenty years the people that lived in them tore the shit out of them and made them unlivable, and now the houses just sit there boarded up with no one living in them. And this is exactly why we should stop all Government giveaways at once.

[@TheWorldNormMacDonald]

Curious to know what is the zip code? You

[@derrickbelcher6456]

I'm not exactly sure what zip code you are looking for. My office is in west Mobile at 36609, the footage on the video was shot in Prichard, Alabama and that zip code is 36610, The parades that run in Downtown Mobile, Alabama would be 36603 and 36602. Hope this helps. If you need any more information please let me know, I'm a life long resident.

My city... My neighborhood. That area is called the Bottoms. It actually used to be like black wall street before integration. Thriving businesses, Central High ans Albert Owens Elementary. Thanks Thurgood Marshall for destroying my neigborhood. I left there in 1991 and joined the Navy. Also Sachel Page, Hank Aron are from that neighborhood, along with my cousin singer Eric Benet.

[@BudsCartoon]

I'd love to hear more on how integration killed black prosperity. I tell people all the time that before integration that blacks used to own businesses and shop and spend their money in their own neighborhoods. Family units were together, crime was relatively low, etc... Now Indians, Arabs and Koreans run the businesses.

M White Eric Benet from Mobile??? Didn’t know that. I moved from Mobile as a kid in 99. Grew up in Prichard. Played football for the Prichard housing authority. This video to me is a true representation of the Mobile I know but I don’t thinks it’s a fair one. There are areas in Mob city that are breathtakingly beautiful. And there are many places where someone will. Take your breath. Came across this video while showing my kids Marie Gras clips. They say they wanna come so guess I will be back in Mobile this spring.

You found the Foreclosure Hood. As a white, middle-aged male pool player - I've been everywhere and always felt at home in Mobile. The city is very segregated but I've partied with the best of both races and never had any problems. This neighborhood does not give an accurate representation of the city as a whole.

[@MeltinJohn]

I like how the city looks overall honestly. Its got an old feel to it but being from up north, blacks are usually nowhere near whites for many stretches depending on the city and state. Its not unusual to have mostly white high schools where only a few blacks get in. I am under the impression in Mobile that people of both races go to the same places but most of the time segregate. Like they might go the same schools and stuff but don't hang together kinda thing. My agenda coming to Mobile, to find a city more affordable where some areas like AZ, and TX are getting more people. I want to be away from the herds. Would Mobile be a good place to do that? I know its along the gulf.

The second part of the video was filmed in Birdville. It was originally housing for soldiers assigned to Brookley Air Force . BAF was closed in 1967. the homes were bought by Mobile Housing Board and rented out to low income tenants. It is still owned by Mobile Housing board but the tenants have all been relocated because Airbus has a plane assembly in BAF property now and these homes will soon be demolished. they are not Foreclosures! There is also talk of relocating our airport to the Brookley site.With that the property is more valuable re-purposed.

loose screws Birdsville? I ain't never seen a Bird,Squirrels, Chipmunks, Rabbits in any "Hood" videos! That's because they are scared of Blacks and stay faraway from trouble!

Every state has one or more of these types of places, and no matter what the people from these places seem to think they are the biggest and baddest of gangsters around....Every state has a drug problem, every state has a poverty problem and every state has a gangster problem of some sort. I been to many states, lived in many states and I can for sure say that every state has its issues....What I see honestly is, if people want a better life it don't have to mean you need to leave your home it means you have to stand up and take control of your life and stop pleading the poverty crap....life is only as good as you make it...
