Born and raised South Trenton. Lived there 31 years. Trenton High '74 then worked for the state downtown for 32 years. Sad to say I really stay out of there now.
Born and raised in this city and it's not the Trenton I grew up in so much has changed about it over the years. I don't let my son go out and play in the neighborhood we go to the suburbs. It's sad because I played in my neighborhood growing up so you can see how much has changed if your from here. We're moving soon 🙏🏾
@@jamesporter116 just because a major American city was once a thriving city, that doesn’t mean the crime didn’t exist while the money was there. It just means crime rates in most major cities were much lower than they are now. Look at Kensington in North Philadelphia. Before I was born, it was a thriving community; now, it’s a drug infested slum because all the businesses left.
@@anthonybarnes1903 n everything is directly related to the drugs..I know this n have seen this in my neighborhood n born out Camden NJ, across the bridge from N. Philly.. everything 9 outa l0xs comes down to drugs
People always try to make their city the toughest. Yes it has had a rise in crime but Trenton is nowhere near as tough as people try to make it out to be.
@@stephanlyden6071 who ever typing must of not lost a few friends I lost many from child hood shit sad out there happy it's not as big as philly and some body from Philly got killed coming to Trenton so
@Sandra Corless: That's exactly in happens in our impoverished cities. People give up hope!! I get so damned sick and tired of reading posts that put the entire blame on the residents themselves, referring to them as "pigs" and "lazy" and "lowlifes." Statements made by people who have never walked in anyone's else's shoes but their own! People who are bigoted and narrow-minded. People who see only the "top layer," not realizing poverty is a deeply multi-layered condition that involves a lot more than not cleaning up your yard!!
Wow, that was really really horrible to watch the very city I was born and raised up in. I’ve moved away in 1999 to Atlanta Georgia 7 years from there to Maryland live in New York City for 15 years now my entire family has decided to move away from Trenton and join me down here in Charlotte, North Carolina the best move ever for us! But it breaks my heart to see the city that I wants knew I loved go down to the dogs!
Born in raised in Trenton. Last time I was in Trenton was 1990 keep saying one day I will go back and visit...one day I need to make that happen. Always have Trenton in my heart
Raised 552 Rutherford Avenue across from B.C. Gregory Elementary until I graduated from Trenton Central class 1973. I left Trenton to go to school Tennessee State University - Nashville. TN. Stayed there for 18 years... Moved to Houston, TX 1993 worked 27 years. Continental Airlines/United Airlines. I married and had 3 sons and took them to Trenton in 2017. They were shocked. We basically took the same drive as you did. Interesting path you took. Almost Deja Vu🤗
@@sandracorless6186 Hi, nice to meet you. Like I said I last visited Trenton in 2017. I wanted to show my boys where I grew up. We drove past the new construction of Trenton Central high. Don’t remember many friends up there now. I am 65 years old and retired. I might come up there this summer 2021. Stuyvesant Avenue, prospect Avenue, Bellevue Avenue, state street. I remember many places still there. I understand economic opportunities are just not there unless you work for the state☹️. I dated a girl in Ewing township.
Ahhh...the "Westside"...Stuyvesant Ave...the old "T" bus route ! Where on weekdays during the school year, during specific hours....with a few stops here and there... you could catch it directly to the front doors of THS (Trenton High School). And if ya had a little money, say about 75 cents, you could also ride the "T" bus all the way out to QBM( Quaker Bridge Mall)... and see how the other side lived. "This is a 70's thing from the days, when kids didn't act so crazed ..." - Masta Ace Urban decay is a Mo'fo !
Ya know I grew up around there and havnt been back in some years but I feel like west Trenton kind of matured itself cuz of the ogs stepping up to stop the nonsense, been to many other places in America and have yet to see that people from my city really do have pride in they neighborhood
Trenton born and bred got trenton tatted across the stomach I'm all for and about trenton but just do disappointed in what these young wanna be thugs have done to trenton the state capital my arse
MY FAMILY STILL IN TRENTON WILBUR SECTION I USED TO LOVE TRENTON BOY THAT WAS MY PLACE TO BE LIVED ON WALNUT MY POP STILL THEIR I LIVED ON LOCUST ST CAROL ROBINS SCHOOL MAN
I was gonna move from Plainfield to Trenton cause I seen that Trenton is cheaper to live, but seeing that it’s a mostly black community, I’m good. Love my people, but from a distance
Ya I know madd pretty females in jersey but I ain’t leaving my hood in nyc to go to jersey hoods. For no cotty plus them dudes is Territorial. They can spot a nyc dude I moved around Newark and jersey city
I was born and raised on Sherman Ave you can't built back the community ain't nobody wanna hear that and if we did it won't last long you gonna have someone knock it down for their own pleasure.
It ain't even that bad out there bro as long as you smoking a blunt and minding your own people are cool but damn that corner store you got some fire chicken tho I control a lot of the bank owned properties out there every time I'm out there checking the houses I always stop at those corner stores man especially that one good f****** chicken compared to most places in nice areas
This is a sad, dark place to live. I thought that this was only on T.V. this city is filled with people who are lost, people who don't know that it is a better life, lost souls, drug addicts and abandoned houses, Demonic city, please leave if you the opportunity, I have family there and wont never return not even for a funeral, real talk!!!!
I'm from Los Angeles, CA and I've lived all over Trenton since 2008... When I first got out here everybody looked angry and harsh lol but I mean.. I mind my business and stay away from bullshit people and I haven't really had too many problems here in Jersey 🤷🏾 but yeah... This place is beat the fuck up though 😂😂😂 i'm ready to move out and so are the older Trenton residents that are sick of the raggedy bum shit here 😩
All you are proving in your videos is that there are no state, county and municipal resources being invested in the resurrection of the so-called "hoods" in America. Why is gentrification so rampant and not revitalization, homelessness and no investment in local homeownership why are banks not giving affordable loans to brown and black communities. Why are you not exposing these problems, but exploiting and sensationalizing poor neighborhoods. Why are you not doing comparative videos showing white and affluent "hood" and how resources of state, county and municipal government are being invested in those people's communities. This exploration.
Yes it is, Camden reached a all-time low record of homicide victims for 2020 and Trenton reached a all-time high of homicide victims for 2020..... Trenton is getting worse and Camden is getting better
Wow, I so needed this, I was just feeling a little homesick.
