COLUMBUS OHIO HOODS

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.

This is the near west side for the most part, shouldve visited the near east side and near north/Campus area - that's where its really bad. Hilltop (where you are) has always had pockets of calm, but Sullivant is very dangerous (runs through it). Lots of commenters talking about how integrated Cbus is - historically it has always been this way, with Cbus being a major Underground Railroad town.

No matter where you decide to move into Columbus Ohio makes sure it is far away from downtown as possible that’s the only way you’re gonna be happy

When I stayed near Wedgewood, we'd hear gunfights almost if not every night. I heard a few stories about Hague, no joke over there. Not a place you want to stand around. Was waiting for you to get Parsons.

[@dawnrunyon4275]

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.

Just because people of color, & assorted other races are in an area, doesn't instantly make it a hood. I LIVE in Columbus, graduated from HS on the West, and for you to drive a few streets and call it the hood is insane. This isn't the hood. The area has it's issues, but unlike other cities, Columbus makes shit happen. Drug houses are shut down DAILY, and I do mean everyday. Zach Kline is doing wonders on shutting down problem properties, and making the others clean up. All the streets are being repaved, and the entire W. Broad St is being gentrified. There's shootings, but this is a farcry from some of the shit bag areas i've seen you drive through. As a Columbus native, i'd have to say this video is extremely inaccurate. You didn't drive on Livingston & Lockbourne....you didn't touch Cleveland Ave & 22nd...you didn't hit the Linden area...you didn't ride through Milo...The Terrace...Easthaven...lets know the hoods of columbus, before you drive it. And even then, all those sides of town aren't all that horrible besides the random teenage BS. You drove around Wedgewood, and called it the hood. They're literally just apartments, and families of Somali people majority live there, plus, CPD is ALWAYS in the complex, or at the front patrolling it. You drove around 15% of the Westside and called it the hood. Find a new job 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I graduated from Franklin Heights, 3 minutes away from where you're driving, and there's a brand new $50,000,000 High School there now. Its literally Demorest Rd 🤣🤣🤣
