GILA BEND, ARIZONA / DEEP DESERT HOODS

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

That place looks like the setting for so many 50s sci-fi movies.🛸🛸

[@annettegloria-o2o]

It's scary, IP can't believe people live there.

[@patrickgriffitt6551]

It used to have a UFO Cafe, shrimp farm and State Police office as well as an auxillary US Air Base.

[@MakadenJones]

What happened to all of it.​@@patrickgriffitt6551

[@bobm6238]

Love your videos! Especially the ones where you take us to remote places like this.

[@patrickgriffitt6551]

It's right off of I-8.

Gila Bend, founded in 1872, is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The town is named for an approximately 90-degree bend in the Gila River.

[@beefcakepantyhose6471]

Thanks for that information!

[@atomictraveller]

thanks charlie. i wish your video could show the intricate sensitive aware web of actual life in the sonoran desert and i guess not so much life.. them cactus pups is saying hellooo it can be ugly but it is seriously starkly beautiful

[@Englishsea24]

No local stores by the looks of it. Definitely need a car for everything

[@atomictraveller]

oh, you may not necessarily need anything

[@commissaryarrick9670]

Or a meth lab

[@terryjohnson3479]

It's essentially a farming community at the junction of state route 85 which connects the I-10 to the I-8 which carries all the traffic between Phoenix and San Diego. Most of the run down homes shown are really the shacks that field workers used and are abandoned now. The videographer is misleading

[@hobofactory]

There’s a certain beauty in remote desert town ennui.

[@roulettegenie4379]

You got that right I live in one. I enjoy the wide open space and beauty of the desert plus I take my golf mat and hit golf balls out into the desert, great exercise picking them up.

[@kaivrock]

No shortage of Mesquite for that barbeque anyway. No matter how bad the place is, there's always brand new cars parked outside the shack. Doesn't matter where it is.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Damn homie. This is the first one id be scared. Rural mfers will feed you to a pig and its a wrap.

[@terryjohnson3479]

NO you mfer. If his car broke down and he knocked on any rural door he would get the help.They are poor but they are better than you

[@FullyAutomaticAddict410]

And EVERYBODY is strapped out there!!

[@TactileLandYT]

Wow there's some deeply old looking structures, this is amazing video.

[@r.hocker1817]

There is a park and public library and a k-12 school there. He dove right past them. Plus, a nice middle-class neighborhood he didn't turn down toward the end. Plus, he didn't show the main road of Gila Bend. Yes the town has gone down hill for the last 40+ years. There are no jobs.

[@irishwitch007]

Middle class hood? If you're referring to Snob Hill....meh😂

[@tinadesmond6281]

Are there no people in that town?

[@terryjohnson3479]

Actually Gila Bend is a pretty busy little town but the videographer chose to show only part of it.

[@squarebodyc1051]

When did you film here lol I’m from Phoenix and travel thru gila bend everyday to get to Yuma 👍🏽

[@alessandroromero5693]

Yea buddy yuma it's wats up

[@JayWerx]

Not one store or gas station in sight, TF?

[@squarebodyc1051]

There’s plenty thru the main highway in gila bend… truck stops , restaurants, hotels , dollar generals they have it all on a 3-4 mile stretch 👌🏽

[@alessandroromero5693]

[@samuelsimmons4586]

my grandfather was from there. born in 1906. it looks like the place probably hasn't changed since then.

[@OwenLoney]

OMG, dramatic video tour of the run-down Gila Bend hoods and slums !

[@peggieadamson9330]

Very good roads & sidewalks!!

[@robthehomeowner]

Looks just like the small towns in New Mexico. Poor but kinda peaceful.

[@joacom8804]

Los americanos tienen ese estilo de vivienda tipico ,las rejas bajas ,el techo a dos aguas, la puerta bien hacia enfrente cubierto con un pequeño pero vistoso hall. Los videos de este buen canal tienen varios ejemplos de ello. Saludos amigos ,desde 🇦🇷.

[@podcastfan2544]

Ive been looking at residential buildings in parts of Argentina they are different often rural ones are unique and some are modern looking. As if there's no zoning laws and a certain freedom exists where building codes are free to be whatever the builder can think of or afford.

[@joacom8804]

@@podcastfan2544 Here there are no specific laws to build, you do what you can, you can build yourself or hire an architect to design your house. Many people live in places that they have inherited and they may be old houses, you see a lot of those in rural areas even in small cities. In wealthier areas these old houses are often remodeled. And people live there.

[@robc7484]

Come to Yuma’ AZ, Charlie. #bordertown

Is there a cooler place than Arizona. I guess it would have been California, but not any more. Very nice vid

[@Brian17-l4i]

Very dusty and dry. I wouldn't want to live there?! 😱

[@Pwezzzy]

What camera do you use?

[@OOICU812]

I've driven through Gila Bend a number of times either going to Phoenix or Tucson. I had no idea what the residential areas looked like.

[@Skerboysweet]

Start interviewing people in these hoods. I wanna see interviews from different hoods. like this and like trailer parks for the poor white people.. seeing Detroit and Chicago all the time that we already know is ghettto is getting old give us better hood interviews in differnet hoods like this your content is trash you do the samething over and over again…

[@debbiem9218]

It is so sad that some people have so much and others so little. One thing I am noting in this video is that there is a lot of satellite t.v. in the hood. On one side the slums are really bad and then you look at the other side of town and there are some really nice trailers.

Gila Bend is an auxiliary air field used by Davis-Monthan, Luke AFB as a place to land your jet if you have hung high explosives. I’ve been there to watch jets strafe targets with their guns.
