I Drove Through The Roughest Areas of East Cleveland Ohio at Night

[@jackiefloyd8003]

It’s sad; you can feel the hopelessness through your camera. How can this be remedied, especially when this happens in multiple cities throughout this country.. The whole situation is frustrating.

[@dogmom2023]

I grew up 30 miles east of Cleveland but would visit family friends on the East side of Cleveland. I love to go visit because all the children on that block had become my friends. The soccer games and tag played on those streets were some joyful moments. It’s so sad to see it 40 years later.

Your video quality is amazing. Despite the rough roads, there is no shaking at all. Your videos are clear and smooth. And the absence of music is wonderful. Your videos captivate my attention.

[@erocker78]

East Cleveland is one of the scariest places to drive through, especially at night. I live just a few miles away.

[@shirleygiordano7627]

Dood... that's an amazing risk you took! I'm glad you are okay! 😮 my grampa grew up near Cleveland when it was a nice area. He loved the Browns.

[@davidskidmore6768]

I love seeing all the older homes and structures of the mid west /south, even in disrepair their lovely but boy the desperation makes them look so "haunted". You see this and say nahhh this ain't America

[@LindaZeno]

It's sad to see so many once thriving cities almost reduced to rubble. 😢

[@minerran]

The background sound in these videos is very relaxing, at least to me. Don't know why, but it is.

[@Hey_Its_J_ay]

Wow! I thought Detroit was bad, this was eye opener shocking, utter devastation. It’s hard to imagine the city won’t come and remove some of the blight. Excellent video as always.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

I’ve also drove and lived in some of those Cleveland neighborhoods. I was there recently and those neighborhoods I would never go back to live there to be honest. Ain’t the same no more

[@w.h.p.3430]

When you’re off the main roads, it gets pretty scary.

[@deeceestackowicz7856]

This place is so creepy cause there's nobody there.

[@JH-th9th]

Thanks for the ride around...too bad that crime is still a big business in East Cleveland !!

[@tillyg8858]

Thank you for sharing.

[@laretdenton9768]

Please maintain a four wheel drive with good tires and a full tank of gas 😮.

[@daleallan1459]

Yet everyone drives a brand new truck

[@UnityJ12]

This my home town. Yeah it’s bad in the hood but the suburbs are decent.

[@NellyGalactic]

Ahh, you’re near my neck of the woods. Starlight Baptist Church is the church my family has attended for decades.

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

🤯😱 HOLA!!! I lived in Cleveland from 1997-2002..I can't believe this 🥹

[@hoodsnhollers]

Hola Deborah!! And thank you so much! East Cleveland hasnt changed a whole lot from when I first seen it. Cleveland I would say is getting a little bit better, but I got a really good one for Cleveland coming up very soon!

[@BoxOfRain]

If you look at some of the houses and try to imagine what they were like 70 - 100 years ago, you can imagine East Cleveland as the fairly exclusive suburb that it was back then. A number of years ago, the city of Cleveland was going to annex East Cleveland to at least keep some of the essential services going - but then the East Cleveland city administration issues a memorandum of understanding that defined that they would be an autonomous area of Cleveland with the full city council and other administrators - all kept on at full salary with taxes and other revenue being directed to the "autonomous region's" coffers. That was the end of the discussion.

[@LindaZeno]

Thanks for the ride Hoods N' Hollers!

[@pamelamills-senn1511]

Man, that is some pretty rough pavement you're driving on

[@bas1010]

You know it's bad when even the graffiti artists have moved away

[@olgapenner-x6e]

I have to say I’m really impressed with the suspension on your car. Going over those pot holes in the street and your camera never shook. I’m curious what do you drive?.. Ps the video was good to

[@JamesGrganto]

East Cleveland looks like Gary Indiana a rust belt steal town

[@henrytroll3439]

Those boarded up houses are perfect for a horror movie

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

Omg 😳 look at the road infrastructure.. That's Crazy

[@hoodsnhollers]

Those roads lol...the hood mobile will never be the same after all that and the Pennsylvania ones

[@northerntraveller3815]

This is where you put 5 locking wheel nuts on each wheel of your car😢😢

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

No tent cities? Is that due to people living in those abandoned buildings?

[@hoodsnhollers]

I didnt really see any tents there. I did notice and have before, that some of the abandoned buildings were definitely occupied at night.

[@wampa4321]

Some of these houses look really nice. Has it ever been a nice city to live in?

[@wampa4321]

Dang, you’re braver than me.

[@radithgerald2882]

Wow sangat menyeramkan jika berjalan di malam hari sendirian 😮

[@EdisonSouza-c3f]

May brother show ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brandonhajdin9777]

My Home Town

[@walkerb1734]

I live in Cleveland. Can you share where specifically you were here?

[@Mike_Greentea]

Should have been listening to Bone thugs n harmony for a more authentic experience. Thuggish ruggish bone all day

[@roberteddy8962]

Do you drive in an armored car lol .

[@duboisgjg]

On est loin des belles images des Etats-unis gagnants sur toute la ligne! Lugubre et inquiétant car pays à deux, voire trois vitesses.

[@Demarco-tr5zf]

East 1999

[@Hurricanes2001]

E.1999 Eternal

[@JJoker69]

East 61st and Fleet Ave......

[@chugfoose7077]

Kinda miss the commentary...

[@markkinsler4333]

My real estate sensors are registering "buy." The area and the houses have good bones and are ripe for restoration, especially those apartment buildings. I expect gentrification within perhaps 15 years.

[@lovebugsg84]

Beep beep😅

[@malakaithedemigod]

Makes you Remember that Lebron grew up in Cleveland in this or worser condition of the city.

[@NellyGalactic]

He’s from Akron, an entire hour away from Cleveland
