Baltimore North and East Side Hoods - 3rd Most Dangerous City in America

Today we are back in Baltimore, Maryland which as of 2023 is America's 3rd most dangerous city. On our last visit we toured the hoods on the West Side so this time we came back and visited the city's North and East Sides.
We start out in the North Central area of the city driving down Greenmount Avenue and end our tour on the East Side taking in the sights along the way. The city has over 14, 600 vacant and abandoned properties. Please note that the red markers on many of these buildings are in place to help first responders identify unsafe vacant homes, buildings or structures.
Baltimore has been struggling for decades. High crime, high poverty rates and high murder rates are the normal here. Like most American cities, it has been on a downward trajectory since the 1950's. The city's population is almost half of what it was at it's peak. They say "once you hit rock bottom, can only go up." ... But where does this city go from here? Do you see Baltimore bouncing back to it's former glory, or are it's better days behind it? Please let us know what you think in the comments!

Why not highlight the wonderful neighborhoods in Baltimore. Always the negative! What about Original Northwood, Roland Park, Guilford, Homeland. Baltimore is 92 sq. miles and the hood comprises about maybe a third of it. It is a beautiful city.

[@bobpage3886]

Crazy to think that this same city has one of the most important medical schools in the world.

[@nuttzeverywhere]

I mean of course it would ... It's plenty of patients to practice on here lol

[@KevinWindsor1971]

There's a lot of the area around Greenmount and North Ave. in the video. If you go a few blocks west, you will find Charles Village, and Johns Hopkins University. Those are some very nice and safe areas. Just west of that are Hampden (pronounced Ham-den) and Roland Park, which are also pretty nice. That's just the way Baltimore is. Very nice places right next to some very sketchy places.

Thank You

[@nataphillipaworld]

Nice greenmount views.. was looking for me im out there often

[@DrMerle-gw4wj]

What I find to be really sad is to see a long series of row houses boarded up, gang writing on them, clearly abandoned, with one row house still preserved, the resident still trying to maintain a presence in a dying neighborhood.

[@Stargazemoonpraise]

I love how you point out the gang writings but not the artwork and graffiti that’s on the buildings aswell🙃

[@Stargazemoonpraise]

Edit you see writings on a building and assume it’s gang related because nun are

[@DrMerle-gw4wj]

@@Stargazemoonpraise The "artwork and graffiti" is just the gand writing I was writing about. Only a formula liberal would think that a band of artists dressed like Leonardo da Vinci was going around, pallette and brush iin hand, crafting masterpieces.

Exactly! Before Reaganomics & the FAKE so called WAR ON DRUGS! Baltimore was a proud thriving city like many other non white places! The difference is the gov’t turned its back & those who could leave, fled, aside from homeowners who refuse to sell out for pennies.

Yall like to talk about blacks ruining places but don't talk about how it got like that and it wasn't cus of blacks and yall like to ignore all the black wall streets we had and it was a lot of them and not just tulsa. We were doing good until white ppl got jealous cus we didn't need them and were doing better than the average white person so yall came destroyed them with bombs and angry mobs. If u think I'm lying then look up the red summer of 1919 and 1920 and see the hate and envy for yourselves

[@TastyPrism]

The city looks clean enough, the roads are wide, and the buildings and houses are solid. Thank you for introducing me to a quiet and nice city.

Just fyi...The part that you say is "North Central" is east. Greenmount is the start of east its not North. Theres a hood off Greenmount called East Baltimore Midway. After Charles St all the streets say E.25 st E. cold spring etc. The northside is the nice part, theres no hoods there
