COLUMBUS OHIO HOODS

[@TomG1555]

Have said this in previous vids about Columbus, but one of the things about the city is that a lot of the bad areas don't *look* like you'd expect slums to: they still have single-family homes in them without a ton of broken or boarded-up windows, no huge piles of trash or large swaths of abandoned buildings, etc. But the drugs, violence, shootings, and poverty are definitely there.

[@Roidweiser]

This is very true. I lived in this exact hood (he went by my old place) and it definitely didn't feel as safe as this video makes it look. Seeing prostitutes and drug deals all the time right out front of my duplex door was something else.

I have fond memories of living in Columbus. One nice thing about it that you can see in the video is that it is very integrated. I don't think there are many cities in the US where all races live in the same neighborhoods.

[@humanspecieseradicationmedia]

Now you're driving through around where I used to live ~10 years ago. My place was right off 270, but The Bottoms (Franklinton) and also Hilltop are a few spots I spent most of my time. I'll be making my own video on that sometime this year. I remember Sullivant Ave. was the main connecting strut for me. Used to be a traphouse on Deshler Ave. in South Side that my ex bought junk at that got raided not long after we stopped going there lol

[@bidgey19]

franklinton has actually gotten really gentrified as of late, it's almost unrecognizable from 5-10 years ago. i don't have any reason to go to hilltop so i don't know its current condition, but east of parsons ave and east 5th/cleveland ave are where all the traphouses are now (don't ask me how i know lol)

I lived in Wedgewood @ 764, then 803, then 885, I never lived any where but the Westside/Hilltop, I was a regular @ Boomer's on Sullivant and was really into the music scene Columbus offers & did a lot of photography for several metal bands & was a regular @ the Alrosa Villa & even took my daughters with me to shows cause it was cheaper than a sitter & they absolutely loved the perks of meeting not just the local bands but the headliners like STP, Crazy Town, Drowning Pool, Union Underground, Sebastian Bach and both my daughters went to school @ Eakin Elem, Wedgewood Mid & Briggs HS, From Wedgewood I moved over 1 st to Kingsford Rd & that is where I met my husband who's nickname was Twin (he's an identical twin) the Hilltop called him the white boy twin & there was a set of identical colored guys too in same hood, (who was from Marion & not on Westside long b4 we met) (03, been together 21 yrs & married 16 yrs nowthen I was @ Ogden & Broad, Eureka & Broad, & Wayne & Broad from 1990-2005 & I did a lot of driving for several dope boyz & knew crews from Southend, all over the West, the Short North & from the the D. Back then before the big Fed bust on Westside things were not like it's became in last 9-10 yrs (since 2015) & it has so many vacant homes vs occupied & the fenny is rampant bringing death to all it touches. I'm glad my sister had my girls in Tx. Her & (husband) had ability to give them a home, great friends, & ability to become whatever their dreams allowed. Me & my hubby's path came to Tx too & been here 19 yrs now, but I still miss Columbus.
