[@BaltimoreHistoryChannel410]

Wow thanks for the kind words. 😀

[@Mister-Reno]

I most definitely will. Baltimore born and raised as well. Greenmount and 20th street 1964 until 1999.

[@tf7622]

I love this channel. Real Baltimore history. Wow. It seems like the city was a lot cleaner back in these days versus now.

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

Oh hell yeah. My grandfather is originally from S Exeter street in little Italy. He also lived in Patterson park back in the 60s. He has a bunch of old neighborhood photos from the mid 40s all the way up until the mid 60s until he moved to Harford County. You can tell people took pride in their neighborhoods back then.

[@rayvrq13]

​@@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeeni agree. Things really changed. People changed. Crazy.

[@kevinlee2039]

That's because it was cleaner

[@davonamoore831]

The residents would wash marble steps weekly and sweep the block. Much different

[@cbryant9078]

1978 I was 14 we was wild and the streets was buck wild not much has changed

[@jjtiojohn12]

damn, you got Al Sanders in his prime? man you been dropping that heat this week.

Oh snap. Look at OPRAH !!!!!!😮😮😮

[@jalt871]

Look at oprah winfrey when she was a news anchor. Man thats crqzy

[@azjoe_6310]

Yep...I remember her on Baltimore's WJZ on a show called "People Are Talking" before she became "Oprah"

[@themagus5906]

Too bad....no more crabs and National beer on your back porch in the summer. The produce cart and the Good Humor man came thru in your back alley in early seventies. Patterson Park was a beautiful place to have a picnic. And you could walk along Eastern Avenue from Eastpoint all the way to Highlandtown. (Even if you were a kid.) Well, you can't bring back the past, but WHY can't we??

[@EmorySimsDrEmoryCarlSims]

I just realized that Baltimore has been a violent city for a long time. My goodness!

Damn they were getting busy in the 70s too.

[@charlesclark8568]

These posts bring back a ton of memories. I was 9 in 1977. Turner, Sanders, Sher were all young and OPRAH was local and little known nationally i would think

Oprah With the fro at minute 9:20

[@mobrown1198]

I see there’s a lot of comments, where people are mentioning that the city was so violent. In context, in 1978 there were three times as many residents in the city in the 1970’s as there are current day. Close to 1 million residents in 1978, Baltimore recorded 197 homicides. 2011 Baltimore city Baltimore city population was close to 600,000. There were 196 recorded homicides. Since the early 2010’s until current day Baltimore city has routinely recorded 300 + murders per year. The population is almost less than half it was in 1978. I was 8 years old in 1978, I didn’t understand the benign neglect that was happening around me. Residents were nicer to one another, there wasn’t as much angst despite the conditions. Families were objectively far poorer with far fewer opportunities than exits today. The spirit of the residents, the different communities ~ watching these videos is like time traveling. Places, buildings, landmarks, some still existing, others long since forgotten. Baltimore Ole Baltimore ain’t it hard just to live! Thank you ! Mayor Schaffer! Oprah! Residents had respect for Police. Wow. Metro Plaza before it was open! I can remember some of these stories ! Incredible upload.

[@MatewanMassacre]

Not only do you point out a lot of important contextual facts, but people fail to realize that the rest of the country has experienced many of the same issues. Of course, there are a lot of ignorant folks who, today, claim that they "can't go into the city." I always wonder why they can't. There's no law preventing them, and there are no warning signs around the city limits telling suburban white people to 'stay out.' So, wtf are these people talking about?

[@robletsdoit5886]

Did time in the Maryland Penitentiary lol

My uncle owned a store and was shot by 3 teens in 1977 in NYC unless ur a victim or have family that are victims this crime don’t hit the same not much of a change in the hood same thing still going on we just gotta do better we are getting there tho

5:09 - I know where the old "Cherry's Pharmacy" was. Its across the street from McDonald's and the old Rid Aid. Its been the "Harford Road Liquors" since Bernard Cherry died after October 25, 1995.

Thanks

[@georgecavanaugh8757]

Although it wasn’t absent of poverty, it was certainly way more peaceful back then. Notice you didn’t hear one person verbally abusing the police for protecting their community. It was way better back then even though it wasn’t perfect.

[@MatewanMassacre]

Have you ever dealt with the Baltimore Police Department? I'm guessing the answer is 'No?'

[@georgecavanaugh8757]

@@MatewanMassacre Wrong again, but I’m sure you’re used to it by now. I was born and raised in Baltimore City where I lived for the first 25 years of my life. So yeah, I’ve dealt with the Baltimore police dept. Don’t believe me? Question me about it. Ask me things only someone who is from Baltimore would know.

Yeah, because the BPD isn't the most violent and reprehensible criminal gang on the streets of Baltimore, or anything like that.
