- Here's some of the worst and most dangerous places in Canton, Ohio. Canton is ranked #1 most dangerous city in Ohio as of 2022 and has a violent crime rate of 268% OVER the national average. WOW! With a population of around 70,500 (1950's was 116,000) this place has been on a steady decline, can you blame them? Let's take a drive and check it out!
I live in Canton, Ohio. Not this end of town. Lets spend less money on The Hall of Fame and tear down these squalid buildings and build something nice there.
East side of Cleveland looks worse than the whole city of Canton.
I live in Canton and there are some bad areas but there still are some very nice areas and parks. There are areas like this in every American city.
It's not that bad especially when you stay to yourself and mind your business you will be okay
20 years or more ago Ohioans living wage jobs were disintegrated and gone forever and this is what poverty and poor leadership brings. I'm an Ohioan.
Grew up in Canton, have lived in Arizona for the last 20 years. I went to McKinley and Lehman in middle school, would have been cool to see more of the NW side, I grew up on Worley ave. Couldn't imagine it would get this bad back home, it hurts honestly deep in my soul.
Growing up in Ohio, when I was a child in the mid 60's I had an uncle in Canton. We used to go visit and I remember it was a beautiful town. I have great memories of the area, unfortunately industry and commerce moved out or shut down. Now, as many towns that used to thrive in Ohio are in decay. I was born in Wellsville, Ohio. Same there unfortunately! Not just Ohio, but throughout the U.S. outsourced jobs took it's toll.
Una de las rasones creo yo es que hoy dia el govierno esta con su mirada en otras naciones y en su propio sistema porque la mayoria de los recuerson se van a otras naciobes y en armas y se olvido que tiene un pueblo el cual es primero y que merece mas atencion aqui dentro tiene que en pesar aser algo diferente y tratar de tener un solo lugar para todas estas personas ellas no esran vien y nesesitan un lugar y no pwrmitertodo esto en las calles y remodelar y limpiar todotodo el territoria ,respeto tu opinion gracias
The mob took over is a big reason it’s horrible
@@markmiller4503 the mob? No . Drug gangs yes.
Huh?
Was in some of these places today. Canton rates as friendly AND dangerous. If you get a flat tire, someone might change it for you. Look at the wrong person the wrong way and things can go bad. It's my Home.
My hometown. So much hustle and bustle growing up…it’s sad to see what it has become. I still have family there and go home from time to time but it is quite a depressing environment so I always limit my stay
300 million pipedream
Same here. I can only do 2-3 days at a time.
@Prestin Hurshberry ....REALLY????? I THOUGHT....NORTHEAST END....GOT' WoRse.....
That's in every state not just two states
it would sure be nice if thee driver in the video would explain what parts of town he is driving in as he goes
But we got a zip line, ferris wheel, and a coming soon indoor water park for the week of the football hof festivities. Good thing none of the out of towners don't have to see any of this surrounding them during their visit...
Literally ^^
Canton OH is just like Niagara Falls NY, a dying factory town where many residents are on public assistance and where crime is rampant. They are cities of urban decay and abandonment.
My city! A few places in this video I've definitely been by before. In all honesty, it's not that bad in most places. Poverty hit the city like a brick when the steel industry went under, but it's been making a slow yet noticeable recovery thanks to jobs and investment from the healthcare industry and the Football Hall of Fame/NFL. Downtown is a lot nicer than it used to be.
I'm hoping things improve here. I grew up in a working class neighborhood. Most of the citizens here are good honest hardworking folk just trying to get by. I still live here, I fortunately was able to go to college and get a good well-paying job after a while. Lots of fun places to go to and do, the food here is also really good. It'd be really nice to see more money go into the city through the HOF project/tourism and be invested in the community.
😅v, u
Holy crap, I just found my sister in this video. She has been missing for 13 years. No way!!
I live in Plain Twp. near the high school. If you live in Plain Twp., Jackson Twp. or North Canton, you see virtually none of this. You seem to be showing the areas south and east of downtown. I have no reason to go there. I will admit I do not visit downtown except to pay my property taxes. The city tried to resurrect the downtown area about 10-15 years ago with a bunch of trendy restaurants but most have now faded away. I am not a football fan. I have been to the HOF once in the 25 years I have lived here.
Lived there all my life. Canton is a dump and getting worse. Many people have left or are leaving, including me. But we just got an Amazon hub! Smh
It’s crazy I’ve lived literally right next to all that seeing all this I’m glad I’m in truck driving school and about to move
ah... the projects behind harmont ave. Such a lovely place
I live off West Tusc in Harter Heights. It is a beautiful neighborhood surrounded by ghetto and crime is through the roof. Akron is not as bad as Canton. If I had known just how bad - I would have never bought my house over a year ago.
I am so saddened to see how run down my Hometown has became over the past 12 yrs since I moved away the worst part it I still have family and friends that still live there when the Home of The Pro Football Hall of Fame give up to the the violent streets and decaying communities that once were alive. Now all I see is sadness, violent dangerous streets not to mention the decaying homes and buildings home and apartments... I am most troubled to see the SMHA apartments on 6th st and high Sw all boarded up..I had family that lived there at one point..😣😣😣
Welcome to my hood!! I've been in them cracks and crevices my whole life. Seen n still be in most of em today. Poverty it is but taught me everything I kno today. Survival
You even did shorb lol thats cool still looks like it has those holes on the sign. So many hoods in Canton jeez
They didn't film much in the Shorb area , just a drive by.Im down near 12th. and Fulton for 36yrs.it used to be a nice , safe neighborhood.They skipped right over the Newton zone n further down on Shorb n High NW.area where crime n shootings are frequently happening.
I was there, and honestly it just wasnt worth putting on here there wasnt anything going on
Looked like the old stone church Right on Shorb by Kempthorn's. A lot of memories of riding bikes around that area. Lehman Jr. High is behind the church.
I live in canton and some places I didn't recognize. Would have been nice if he could have mentioned some street names.
Also in Canton. You ever urban explore any of the places?
I was born in Stark County in 1980 and moved to Oklahoma City in 2013. I hate seeing what Canton has become. Especially in regard to crime. The city is making some progress economically, but has a LONG way to go.
You're not wrong, Chris. It's changed a lot since we were growing up.
Canton isn’t so bad.
Many people getting good jobs and pay now.
Ya Canton is past it's prime.. I'm sure it looked great 100 years ago. It is a bit rough in places but they try to keep it nice as possible. People just have enough to get the bills paid. Thats ok. Yards are mowed that says alot. I live here n deliver food. It's not that bad.
Stay safe, from one Rush fan to another ;)
I was born and grew up and lived for 31 years in neighboring Massillon Ohio, but I did live with a lady on 6th st SW in Canton for about 6 months and had been all over the city, for either work or play, partying at the clubs to hanging out at the Canton Parks by the HOF. I moved to Arizona in 1991 and only been back twice, once in 1994, and the last time in 2018 Didn't see much of Canton on either visit. So this was interesting, but I really didn't recognize the areas he was in.
I use to work at sherears snacks in Massillon. I'm from Columbus tho
My home town and I still love it, hell. It's still "Hall of Fame" city.
I lived in the projects, city, and SUBURBS OF CANTON , OHIO, in the 1970s_1980s_1990s_EARLY EARLY...2000'Z......THIS....IS TRu' !!!! I RESIDE OUT ☀️🎊🎈🎉🎂🥂🌵🌴☀️🔥WEST....NOW.....Going on 15yrs.....I STAYED ON PULLY🌄🏬HILL& DOWN AROUND DA' CORNER TURN➡️➡️ 1107 STELLA CIRCLE.....1219 ROBIN COURT.....& DA' JETZ'🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 ACROSS...OR DOWN SOME WAYZ'...OTHER...PROJECTZ.....
I've been to canton area many times and never knew how decrepit the area was
I spent two year living with my grandparents till my parents could find work up Akron.... as a 7 year I walked to school threw those run down neighbor... scary ... it just keeps getting worse as I can see...
GlenOak Highschool class of 83'.
Watching from the 44703.
44701 here
44703 here too
Actually, it looks better than where I am from. That being Scioto County Ohio. Portsmouth is old and rough and still thriving. It's the crime rate there that makes it soooo bad in Canton
Canton is awsome were else can you walk the train tracks half day and collecting cans and get $30
You literally drove over the whole of downtown... It isn't all bad, but you drove past 2 of my houses lol.
I don’t see anything wrong with the areas they say is the worst part of the city. Seems like discrimination to me lol it’s an environment that was created to be toxic.
Cool buildings they need a bulldozer
Canton really aint that rundown...just some areas,,,love the city
Looks like u drove mostly around the old highland heights projects and downtown. That's bad. No question. But there's much more u missed unfortunately. The southwest end is bad around the old junior high. It's bad around the fairgrounds also. Canton is an equal opportunity war zone IMHO.
There will be many more videos to come covering those areas, thanks for watching!
Good ole Ellisdale you drove right past my old place. Happy to have moved from that city
You find what you look for in Canton. These cities lost their respect for the community.....
Hall of fame city beautiful isn't it actually looks better in your video it is a shame what it has become.
Alan Page the street is horrible it's riddled with a lot of bad people it's in the projects it is the projects and the whole thing the atmospheres terrible like Doom
Have you ever been shot at or chased? What would be your scariest encounter so far? HOLA!!! thats crazy.....I just dont know how you live in those neighbour hoods...how could your kids even walk to school.....
Hola! Thats a good question. I had a few sketchy moments for sure. Couple times someone chased after, there was someone in nyc that jumped on my hood and rode it for a few streets, i just gave him a death stare the whole time and i think he figured i was nuts and he bailed off (made a hard right). I'd say my favorite was when a gangster wannabe chased after me on a bicycle wearing a mask screaming im gonna git you, but he couldnt catch up LOL
@@hoodsnhollers omg, on a bike lol lol.....Thanks for doing these videos ;) Keep being safe ❤
@@deborahmacdonald9319 Will do and thanks so much for watching !
Back in the 80s me and my friends would walk around in Highland Park at night and never had any trouble. Even though it was said to be horrible and then they renamed it trying to give it a fresh start. I have some amazing memories of growing up in Canton
What is it called now? My dad said he used to hang around there. Tried to find it on the Internet, but couldn't. No way in hell am I driving down there.

Saigon street (Vietnam) thank you my friend for sharing good video. I wish you good health and a nice day. Greetings from Vietnam to you..👍🇻🇳🇻🇳
Not my best friends store the EVERLYS
We came through every summer from Beaver Falls Pa 1 luv Canton 🫡
It's like driving through a trash can.
Imagen walking there at night 😳 I would be very scared. Sad to see a place like this …. AND NO ONE CARES. Welcome to America .
I left Canton 20 some years ago. Still have family in the area. Breaks my heart to see how bad its gotten there. It was nice north of 12th nw, but now that mess has overtaken most of the town.
I've been around this area my whole life. This is the part of Canton, the Hall of Fame club won't show anyone, ever. When I was growing up, and still today, you do not walk the streets after sundown. It's a dam shame nobody will do anything to fix it. The police won't go there even when called, only after the crimes are over. They keep putting up shot spotter systems and gangs just go to the next street down. Can't even go to Norcia's Bakery at Belden & 7th broad daylight without looking behind you.
I had a blast growing up in Canton 60s 70s . Great people great friends
I’m from here but live in Cincinnati now, they’ve cleaned it up a lot more now bc the hall of fame is so popular. Honestly Cincinnati hoods be so much more worse and I deliver mail too. Been to some rough areas. Canton looked like a cake walk. I ain’t never seen it so clean from trash. Still gloomy everyday I see tho.
This is what happens when manufacturing leaves a great City
It’s great to see your channel gaining traction!! Keep it up. 😀
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to get some more time to edit these things and get a whole lot of them out!
Driving through Canton doesn't show the real crime that isn't shown 😢
Crenshaw Cougar and Timken Trojan.. Canton is the city!
...and the weak shall inherit the earth. Certainly seems to be all that’s left in these evacuation sites.
Meek, not weak.
Meek not weak
crackron is worse
I agree. That will be uploaded this week some time
by far
@@hoodsnhollers i will absolutely be checking for that footage.. i went to the university of akron & lived in east akron (south arlington/talbot/mckinley). left on the 1st plane available the day of graduation and had them mail me my degrees 😂
@@el.bandito How long ago were you at the University of Akron?
The mentality of the Akron people is just angry and hateful. My husband drives in Akron every day and he's scared for his life at times.
Lots of early seventies growth. Sad to see these places now.
Nope nope nope. I can't even imagine anxiety I'd have driving there.
Glad I didn’t take that job and move there a few years back this place is rough to say the least. I think the apartment I was looking at was in sherrick (?)
yeah thats on here
so what streets and block do i avoid. agents dont really tell you specifics. they just try to sell you new built homes.
I noticed that you didn't turn up into the "vic"...
It used to be beautiful , in the 60s
Only thing to do here is ride wheelies 🤣 I laughed when I seen some friends going by at the end 🙌
Hey I like it! Lol
I’ve lived here all my life it’s really sad!
My Family from There Big up McElroys
Most of Ohio has gotten to be just as depressing and poverty stricken as West Virginia.
Nah only just canton
Yeah. Not nearly. But, Ohio is going downhill in general.
Born and raised in Ohio. I disagree that most of the state has gotten to be nearly the same.
Cities like Cincinnati , Cleveland , Dayton & Youngstown yeah maybe , the rest of Ohio is thriving
@@bentincher9117 organized crime
Canton isn't bad in the daytime. At night it becomes a war zone.
Do one on Akron ohio
That’ll be up very shortly!
Akron is way better than many mid-sized I've seen in America.
Man, i feel like this would be the perfect place to film a zombie apocalypse movie lol😂
I always knew growing up in the 70’s that the future was gonna suck!🤪
Thank you so much Hoods N Hollers for uploading this great video, I appreciate it!
Thanks for watching!
Ohio and detriot same ?
More like most of the midwest is
Where have all the people gone?
It was very quiet, in some spots it felt like a ghost town.
Canton is more or less a blue collar factory town on life support. Not only has there been a mass exodus for better opportunities, but also no incentives for anyone to move there. I was born and raised there, left for college, moved to the East Coast in my early twenties and never looked back.
330#
Gotta do one of Johnstown PA
I'll be doing that in the near future. Thanks for watching!
Everyone commenting is talking about how they left years ago and im still here 💀💀
Dam thanksi dont wantto move down there now😢😢😢😢
Try looking into the North Canton area, its much nicer
@@hoodsnhollers thank you
What're you going to do today, honey? Oh, I think I'll go hang around on a SLAB in the vacant lot today. We need JOBS for these people!!!
That’s what’s happened to a town when all the business moves out or go out of business they put all of eggs in one basket in still of bring new company to the area
Hahha you stoped recording in sherrick right where I stayed!! Busted up tan Honda van was my neighbor hahaha 🤣 it ain't bad here though frfr !! Ain't have no problem up there if ya ask me ppl knew who they could try an who not too lol 😆😆 glad to not be there no more tho will say that
I'm from Canton. I havent been back since 2017 and this video is like a surreal nightmare.
I worked in Timken engineering for almost 3 years in Canton, OH as a consultant , ghost town eating junk food
I’m 61 and originally from the area and that part south of downtown has always been rough.
Lived there 77-79 graduated GlenOak HS
Born and raised in Canton and The only area I see in this video that I believe is bad that I would never live at is the P is what most people call it. I have lived around and close to all the places you showed mainly in the downtown area or close to downtown area and it's not really that bad at all.
And UA-cam just told me, Ohio is the worst... 🤔🙃
Anybody remember when the Detroit Boys took over highland Park, that was the real Carter apartments.
Funny with the suburbs, it really looks pretty British, hell it's like being home. Maybe you need to go international haha
Compare this video of one taken in East Cleveland. You need a MA Duece on the roof of your car in EC
Canton seems vital and up and coming compared to most of the other places you've toured.
I live in Massillon and it's getting almost just as bad as canton
Dare I say it?
This is one of the "nicer" looking videos. Poor? Yup. But not nearly as many dilapidated homes/buildings as I expected. Still way too many.
Still way better than E. Cleveland Ohio- where I'm from!
I did East Cleveland on the channel a while back. I was thinking of maybe doing an updated version of it without all the tree leaves in the way
I live here still and it ain't that bad
U drove right past my house lol
