This is my hometown. Pork & Beans projects, Brownsville middle school, Miami Northwestern HS. Surprise, they allowed u to ride around. U stopped at a lught they'll leave u on bricks. The Allapattah, Overtown, Wynwood. Love my hometown. Yes, crime but humble, hard working, loving people. Everyone was family. No outsiders allowed.

I used to work at the fire hose plant across the street from Northwestern HS until they relocated in 2012. Twice i came to work and the parking lot was blocked off because of shootings. I'm a white dude and stood out like a sore thumb if i went outside but I got mistaken for police a lot so never was messed with. Not a place i liked being after dark!!

i’ve lived my whole life in miami , and i’ve lived in over town and north miami. is not for the weak but liberty city takes the medal. i recently purchased a home right next to the pork and beans (15th ave) a year ago for almost 300k. is crime almost every single day. and the police still around all the time. i saw the demolition of liberty square too, such a bitter sweet feeling

0:31 awww WTH...what a memory! When i was born, this is where we lived until i was 7 yrs old. My godmother and godfather stayed upstairs in the left building. We lived downstairs, 2nd unit in the building to the right. There were some projects across the street. We then moved to Overtown and stayed there from the age of 8 to 11. Then the crime started and we moved to Pompano. Daaamn never thought i would see these apartments again 🥹 thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I’m glad my video brought back childhood memories for you! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I also spent a few years in Pompano from kindergarten to first grade before my family moved to Fort Lauderdale. I also did a vlog in Overtown - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4GZkIZtjrF0Y5Ysi=kIm7P_5f6I9GtmBP

Liberty city and its surrounding areas definitely not as bad as it was in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.Many black Americans have been moving out of Miami to other parts of the state and other states, as Gentrification creeps in. I still would watch my back in the area..lol

It’s not even Nearly as bad (Now) as it was in the 80’s, early 90’s & further back (70’s) … lots of Dangerous (Crack) Gangs & Turf Wars back then…. Mostly every perp of those days is either too locked-up, too old or too dead, to bring it back the way it was back then. Thank God…
