The “New” Worst Hoods In Louisville Kentucky - Newburg X Okalona Suburban Decay High Crime Areas

[@N3vaeh051]

You ain’t even go in the hood, just Main roads and a random apartment

[@JamilBryant]

You didn't even drive through all of Newburg lmao.

[@queenraven1458]

Sho didn't 😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jKLa]

According to census data Okolona is still plurality white with one majority Hispanic neighborhood while Newburg is plurality African American but both are very diverse. The Indiana side of the metro has significant poor white suburban areas.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

its sad on the Indiana side these days.

[@imbout2blow]

go to the Indiana side, Clarksville to be specific you’ll get Mexicans, Guatemalans and Hondurans

[@jKLa]

@@imbout2blow yes, there is some diversity over there in certian neighborhoods but it's far less in general compared to the Kentucky side.

[@jtowner7-rn4ee]

You didn't even go to the hoods between Okolona and Newburg... You went down 2 main roads and one immigrant apt. community, smh. Change the video name to immigrant, main roads tour. Nothing you toured are high problem areas...

[@jKLa]

That still looks very suburban to me, -just decayed hood suburban! The majority of Louisville's Kentucky suburbs were also merged in to Louisville a while back. But suburban decline is a big thing all over the country now...

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

yup.. the hoods of tomorrow for sure

[@WillsJazzLoft]

Louisville has had a somewhat cosmopolitan, international character for some time. However, I am a little surprised by the demographic shifts that you mentioned. It's sad that it's followed the trend of other major urban areas in terms of affordability. There wasn't suburban homelessness when I was there. This was in the 90s. However I think that Newburg/Okolona continues to be one of the more affordable localities in the metro area. It's perennially blue collar in terms of per capita income. There have been changes for sure

[@WillsJazzLoft]

Chain link fencing or 'barbed wire' as you seemed to be describing it is not necessarily a negative indicator. It may actually be a net positive. It keeps an undesirable element out

[@WillsJazzLoft]

Preston Highway as I remember doesn't become walkable or pedestrian friendly until you get into the core and it becomes Preston St. It's a prime example of what another KZbinr as a 'stroad'. It's neither a street ( which is narrow and pedestrian oriented ) nor a road ( which is designed for high speed driving with few entrances and exits ). This is typical of much urban design ( or lack of it ) here in the US

[@paulnorth9375]

Preston Hwy is just like upper Broadway in New York with CARs as the theme.

Next time come to Middletown! Take fern valley road straight towards Hurstbourne, keep going till you see Shelbyville road. It’s like night and day, just a 20 minute drive and you start seeing the upper class of town 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 That’s Kentucky for you!

I used to ride my bike in Indian Trail when I was a kid. It wasn't that bad in the 1970s

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

@@WhittyPics even in the 90s it wasn’t bad. Its a ghetto now

[@barbaramccrady1495]

I lived in fairdale back in eighties I really like that area off outer loop my grandmother lived on third street for years I sure do miss her so many memiores there ❤

[@Davidplone]

It has gotten worse I use to live on Preston it’s really sad

[@WillsJazzLoft]

Lincoln Park ( the area immediately adjacent to the Church of Christ ) has been economically depressed for years. ( I'm recalling your observations about derelict vehicles in front yards ). Not all of the area is like that. When you go to the southeast portion of Newburg many of the homes are better maintained. My grandparents moved in during new construction in the late 60s when they purchased their second home. The area close to Shepherdsville Rd trends a lot nicer

[@louisvillebsc1976]

Go to Taylor and Berry. To 7th or toward Iroquois park. That’s the hood. I’m from there

[@WillsJazzLoft]

It seemed appropriate that you concluded the drive by heading towards Buechel

[@JUSAGUYNKY]

Well they had to put all project folks somewhere, after taring down all those “brick cities” downtown .. this area and SW L’ville were best choices, I guess

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

They should have left them alone

[@JUSAGUYNKY]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS The city didn’t want them downtown anymore.. I mean look at happened to the east market district (NULU) since they torn down Clarksdale.. just one example

[@lesevans6567]

Yea, they ain’t hit Shadyvilla, Rangeland, Poplar Level. They’re just doing Okalona rental areas. And, Roosters!!!

[@tracenixon5487]

Indian Trail area was nice in 60s and 70s, 90s area degraded lost so many great stores

[@brownbunny04]

My entire childhood in Newburg. Moved out of state many years ago. Everything pretty much still looks the same 20 years later. Don't ever eat at that Indies. They had roaches really bad when i lived there.

[@jerseyf8985]

Yikes 😬 🦫 damn I said this! This is my area! 🤦‍♀️ I said it’s getting extremely bad FAST.

[@robertoluis3598]

Cumberland apartments black guy got murdered across from my apartment

[@antwantaylor1137]

All the areas had trash and Bardstown Rd. Is not Newburg or Okolona. Just because you live somewhere different doesn't mean your better. Listening to this video sounds like you need someone to validate who you are. You are from the hood and you probably still do hood stuff. You can leave the hood but it is always in you. Money doesn't make you a proper soul!

[@NathanBullock-w9n]

That IS NOT the hood mo ron😂

[@kevin2298]

There's no more hoods nor pjs

[@ElixerS5]

Yeah its all bad except for crescent hill and st mathews, even clifton is getting worse

[@jeffreydennis3267]

Thanks for putting my neighborhood in here 😂. You spelled it wrong though, it's Okolona, not Okalona. 😂

[@JosephTingle]

That school on indian trail used to be a middle school called bruce , it was a trip , i went to a party over there at a apartment , and a dude was toe up in there he was big mf, he was looking shipwrecked, throwing shit out of the windows ,destroying the place , dude shot a potatoe gun threw the wall and everything he was jacked people were crawling threw the windows and jumping out , no one even called the cops 😅 this was early 90,s. Throwing tv out windows shit was f up😅😅😅

[@robertoluis3598]

Lot of taco trucks and Mexican restaurant all over The Tropicana on Preston is my niece's families store

[@robertoluis3598]

The Mr gatti's used to be in the shopping center on outer loop they moved out of the building because it was run down the new buildings are moving into used to be Golden corral.

[@terrilgeiser3042]

[@knobstonestickbows4962]

I live here. Most of the city is considered the hood and always has been. Gotta go east to get away from the bs. Its not terrible like baltimore, but man you better not mess around here. You are fairly safe tho if arent involved in the bs and just live a normal life. Its definitely worse then it was 25 years ago when i was a teenager. Homicides have about more then doubled. Lots more teenagers killing now and doing the killing. The homeless here are everywhere now. Tent cities around town. Drugs are magnitudes worse. Fent, heroine, amd everything else. It sounds bad. Its really not as bad as it seems tho when you live here. Umless you live somehwere that regularly sees the homicide detectives taping off you block.

[@ElixerS5]

Agreed. Even clifton is getting bad

[@robertoluis3598]

The apartments behind roosters is bad I'm constantly hearing gunshots over there

[@DavidRosenbaum-sr6yd]

You should all come to my city Saint Joseph Missouri it's bad

[@Frostyeveryday]

Man. Newburg has been the hood for well over 40 years.

[@robertoluis3598]

That shopping center always been ghetto long as I can remember.
