💯 The Real Streets Of: Dayton, Ohio 2022

[@lw6323]

Dayton is like any other city, there are beautiful parts of Dayton, pristine suburbs like Kettering, Beaver Creek and Trottwood, old Dayton and also rough hoods. You could live in Dayton for 40 years and never encounter any crime. It’s a shame that people think touring poor areas is entertaining.

[@FALNMF]

Kettering has its moments especially Trotwood

[@lovelynicole7100]

You named bad areas besides beavercreek

[@elbob17]

Trotwood is the antithesis of a pristine suburb. Trotwood is at the top of the mountain of rough hoods.

[@epicheavystuff2943]

Anybody from Dayton knows that trotwood is definitely not a nice area it's gotten a lot better but it was the hood hood Centerville is like the best area around Dayton

[@frankiecicero8742]

I live in Kettering & not only have I see wig’s,full purses & book bags on the side of the street items people arnt just going to drop I’ve been chased walking home from work even after I said I had a gun I’ve only lived here for 4 years

[@ruthfannin9990]

What a load of crap. They just drove through the poorest areas. Driving through and acting like you're afraid someone's going to attack you is ludicrous. I live near Dayton now and I've lived in the poor areas of Dayton and I was never robbed, assaulted, or felt threatened. Dayton is a great place to live.

[@SlapthePissouttayew]

Right? I deliver car parts up in these areas of Dayton 4 or 5 days a week and everyone's always been really cool. I never felt in danger.

[@jnelnormeda4292]

Same I live in Dayton and I'm on Main Street right now. This is considered the crossroads of America where 75 and 70 meet. That might explain some drug activity. We are known for the Wright brothers, aviation, and funk music. 🛩️✈️🎺🎹🎸🎶🎵

Also Dayton has electric buses in some areas. One of the first cities to have them. Dayton used to be noted as one of Americas cleanest cities for many years. Most of it is still very clean.

[@sharoncrawford7192]

My mom didn't drive and back in the 60s we use to go downtown to shop on those buses. We loved it. We would go to Rikes Department store. Would go to a diner for lunch. I grewup in Fairborn. My dad was military at WPAFB. My sister lives in Vandalia across from the Airport.

[@yagirlnee7415]

I grew up in Dayton Ohio and I've always hated it here. The city is rundown and the crime and drug culture here is a mess. I will say they are doing a great job revamping Downtown Dayton. It's actually looking a lot better with the mega library, gentrified apartment buildings, and small businesses.

[@IanInDayton]

I moved from Brooklyn, NYC to Dayton 2 1/2 years ago to be with my fiance. I have lived in Westwood off of 3rd ave for over 2 years, and i have to say ya'll must be used to driving around in the burbs because "the hood" in Dayton is one of the chillest places i have ever lived. We dont even lock our doors at night. I have lived in Brooklyn NY, New Haven and Hartford CT, southeast San Diego CA, and Dayton's "Ghettos" are nicer than 90% of the suburbs in those cities.

[@timothyblommel8472]

I love how this video starts out at my old house right across the street from the Mexican grocery store on Troy St. It's not a Hispanic neighborhood, though. It was originally settled by Germans and is now a diverse neighborhood with a pretty big Turkish and German population and people of all races and nationalities. Dayton is known for its high crime rate, but its mostly confined to certain neighborhoods. There are a lot of nice old historical neighborhoods on every side of town. About 80% of the metro population lives in the suburbs and the suburbs are mostly pretty nice, especially the south suburbs. The suburbs are also where you'll find most of the restaurants and night life.

I watched this video and it was cool until you got to the part where you were driving between Desoto Bass and Washington Arms housing projects & you started talking sh?t because you saw an empty Patron Box and you started saying that those people couldn’t drink it because they live in the project’s, and that they were drinking on your dime and you can’t put your signature on that. That was dead wrong who are you to say what someone can drink because of where they live? I live on the other side of town but I used to live in that area so I’m speaking up for those that still live over there. Just like you spoke about people that get EBT it’s not cool & you need to watch what you say.

[@kevinlong7515]

Dayton "The Gem City" has a lot to offer if you look past it's rundown shell. It's known for the Wright Brothers and a long history of important inventors and music artists, the 5 rivers, a great selection of parks and one of the longest bike trail networks in the country. It has many great local breweries and restaurants. Wright Patt Air Force Base and National Air Force Museum. One of the most affordable cost of living in the U.S. Dayton has many great programs, food banks, churches, etc..that help people in need. That may contribute to a smaller and better off homeless population. To others comparing to Columbus, there is far less of a homeless problem in Dayton and less crime for sure. The people are edgy but mind there own business which is why property crime is not bad. Violent crime is bad in some areas because people pay for their crimes with their lives, it's a bit like the wild west. Most of the recent break ins I can remember ended up with the homeowner shooting the intruder. If you spend time here you will find that many of the edgy hard looking folks are very nice, with a mixture of crazies that for the most part still mind their own business. Thanks for taking the time to show different areas in Dayton, you are welcome back.

[@mattkissmyasstyrants8676]

You pretty much nailed it. I grew up on w. Hudson right off N. Main. Been all over the country and for some deranged reasons I always end up back here. Technically I live in Riverside now but work right off Troy st.

I'll probably never move back, but might visit family one of these days back home. I was born and raised in Dayton for 52 or so years.. I forget exactly when I left. I definitely cleaned up my act since then.

Something that may make the video more interesting, is to read some facts about the place you’re visiting. Regarding Dayton, there’s a few world headquarters (Mead, Reynolds’s & Reynolds’s, NCR to name a few) and some interesting events, places to go (like the Air Force Museum). I thought of a similar idea, where I’d visit rust belt towns, and talk to older folks who experienced the de-industrialization of the US, how it affected the standard of living. I grew up in a suburb of Dayton, and it’s really a varied town. The ‘west side’ of Dayton, is the bad part. It’s on the western side of I-75. As you head south, into the suburbs, it gets more and more affluent. We used to go to the west side drive thru liquor stores in high school to get booze. Good times!

Never underestimate an area. No area is exactly “safe” . Some areas just have more crimes than usual and some have less than usual but it’s crime everywhere in some way, form or fashion. OND isnt too bad like other parts of Dayton, but it’s bad and has crime

Ummmm just my 3cents.....BUT.... I think its fair to not do a lot of research on a place before you drive around it .... But then i don't think you should state things about a place that you just "heard about" like its info that is correct and factual. Because that is just a disservice to the location and to yourself!!!!

Lived near Dayton and have been working in Dayton for years. Totally unaware of any significant crime issues. In these videos I would like to see the street names and the region of the city where you are on a map. Dayton is huge, it was difficult to judge the exact location and really gain context. That context would have made things a lot more informative and interesting.

The start of you video on Troy Street is not a Hispanic neighborhood. It does have a Mexican store and a few taco trucks. There are a lot of Turkish families. Any nice home you see, is owned by Turkish. You want to see the worst part of Dayton head to the East Dayton and the West Side. You will be approached to buy drugs, by prostitutes, and junkies. Downtown Dayton is up and coming. Most of it has upscale loft apartments.

The Westside isn’t the only violent area in Dayton. You must not be from Dayton. The East Side & the north have Violent areas too . It Varys from area to area. Some areas on the Westside is safer than others. Y’all suburban folks need to stop judging Dayton on what you see on the news and stuff, and actually come to inner Dayton for y’all self. Y’all would see the crime and violence is *everywhere* in Dayton not only in the Westside areas. I feel safer in West Dayton then I do in East Dayton 👌👌 or north Dayton

What is the point of going to these different cities to "spot the hoods". The video was more of a insult than anything

[@donaldblankenship8057]

They were digging up the street downtown six years ago, and I spotted a horseshoe nail in the trench! That thing has been down there a long time! I jumped down 2 or 3 feet and grabbed it. I was walking into downtown 13 miles a day from a men's shelter on the west side, because I could feast on the best free food on the way. Coffee, cherry pie, milk turkey and dressing, ... 365 including Xmas day.

Now I enjoy about 3 months of winter and really hot summers in South Carolina. Adios Dayton. Live long and prosper.

So far, nice looking cars, don't see any trash 02:40, don't hear dogs barking, don't even see people~ the run-down houses might be the elderly on a fixed income can't afford 20 dollars an hour labor when they put away their money they were making only 1.25 an hour, I'm thinking since I'm in the same situation. Did see a few places in need of repair at the end, but, not as bad as I expected. My son has moved to Ohio he talks like it's 'mob-run- I told him the mob had ethics compared to our government today. Dad was a construction bum I was born in Youngstown OH, 80 years ago. Once upon a time, it was a beautiful city, my son says not so much now, so sad.

The first few minutes of this video are in North Dayton, a wedged-shaped area between 2 rivers (Mad/Great Miami) and location of the old McCook Field. It's a mixed area, part poor/lower middle class, part industrial area. Whatever source this guy got his info from regarding Dayton's supposed "dangerousness" vs. other areas of other cities, I've yet to see it in my years here. Guy got some bad info. Most dangerous places I've been were in North Philly just north of U. Penn campus, and Compton, California. North Philly looked like Beirut after the war in the 70s. Scared the crap out of me driving a rental car through there.

[@StartOverThinking]

I'm not even 30 seconds in and I had to comment. I'm from LA. First of all. We have ONE OF THE the highest POVERTY rate of any city in OHIO. Top 10 in the country I do believe. Not even anywhere close to having the highest crime rate even if "depending on how you look at it". Unless you straight turned whatever charts you're getting upside down. There's no gangs in Dayton. Therefore Chicago, LA, New Haven, Baltimore, Akron, New York City, all have petty crime rates that tower over our violent crime rates. The fact that you have so many subscribers is terrifying. You literally just spout out whatever YOU'RE hood scared opinions are while you drive around talking about places you don't even fact check. I've never been afraid to walk around at night, ride the bus, or lock my car or house. I live in what you say is one of the "scariest areas in America". I'm going to skip watching the rest of this, give you the benefit of the doubt, and choose to believe this is satire and meant to be as funny as it already has been. Trash.

[@SeelaKali1331]

Grew up in Dayton, had family that also grew up there from the 20s-now. I can assure you, Dayton is a trashy town. Don't let anybody tell you different. If you're skirting the edge of downtown, anywhere, you're in the hood. To be fair, the city has been making an effort to drive out those that make it so, so it's been getting cleaner. And while I'm not sure where you're getting your statistics from, Dayton is far from being the most violent city in the country. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty crime ridden, but it's pretty quiet most of the time. It's no Detroit and it's no Chicago. But if it's dilapidated, hood-like areas you're looking for, Riverside, Northridge, Salem Ave., Hill Crest, anywhere on 48 north. To differentiate the areas, West Side, all the places I just listed, is where the dangerous crime is, and East Side, basically the area around Smithville and 3rd St. is where the druggies and prostitutes are. If you ever hear someone from Dayton talking about East Side dirty butts, that's what they're talking about. North Dayton is Miller Lane, Vandalia, if you hit 70, that's basically where it ends, an argument can be made for Clayton, Trotwood, Englewood (also known as Engleweed). South Dayton is Moraine, West Carrollton, Kettering, Oakwood (this is where the big/old money is), Centerville, Miamisburg, Springboro. Northeast Dayton is Beavercreek, Fairborne, and WPAFB/Museum. Ask locals about food though. Lots a great places to eat and to go, even in the iffy parts.

[@zudemaster]

Dayton has its share of crime but its not all that bad as people make it sound. Your video starts out in what is called Old North Dayton. There is alot of crime as in people breaking into cars, empty houses and garages in that area, that kind of thing. But this is nowhere near Cleveland or Detroit crime levels. The murder rate averages around 40 per year, which is very low considering. The worst thing about Dayton is the damn streets as can be seen in this video.

No riding on Dayton's, is Wheels, like 20 inch wheels and rims, that goes up and down
