As someone who lived in Philly for 14 years, there are parts of Philly you don't go to at night. And then there's Chester, where you never go, ever. I once had to take a detour off I95 at 2am through Chester and it's the most afraid for my safety I've ever been. It's sad that people are forced to live in such unsafe and dilapidated places, we as a country are really failing so many people.
Another spectacular video leaving everything to the viewes imagination without loud music and blah, blah, blah. THANK YOU! Best wishes from upstate NY!!
Went on a drive about a year ago. Wanted to go towards Philly. Unbeknownst to me, I drove through Chester and even stopped at the one convenience store. This was around 2 or 3am. Thought it looked rough and it was quite eerie. I wondered why a car didn’t stop at a red light I stopped at, probably in the interest of their safety in this neighborhood. Was glad to be safe once I found out later on that Chester is a very dangerous place.
Thank you for your video's ...what time are you out and about....spooky !!! Stay Safe !!! It would be nice to see the same city in the day time...just for comparison...this city looks like it thrived once upon a time ...very sad !!!
Seems like the most cars at the worst looking buildings. Nice buildings, few cars. Curious what the building with arches was (had been) right about the end on video.

Thank you for sharing. Enjoy watching these videos. Sad for the people, especially being afraid to be outside at night.
Most of the U.S. doesn't even know places like this exist. Forgotten towns and neighborhoods. It's really sad.
Great video. I went there during the day and I was scared, couldn't imagine doing it at night
Sad to say, these types of places exist in every state across the country.
Nobody hanging round on street corners. I've got used to seeing that on almost all other Hood videos. In fact nobody anywhere.
Kind of creepy looking. Thanks for the ride.
Kensington minus the garbage and homeless on the streets. Another American tragedy.
excellent content as always the best channel
Thank you John!
Streets are so nice and clean
Sorrowful, bt thankful for your sharing.
Looking nice and quiet
Once a great and important city. PA's first city.
the last two buildings (churches?) are looking very spooky in the night. you are brave 😱
Nice work.
Have always wondered if you map out a certain direction you want to drive in these areas, or just wing it?
A couple of the crustiest buildings there would be perfect to set up a yearly haunted house in.
Were you not scared to drive there? Thanks a lot for the video
It is very sad,but here and there is someone trying.The pink picnic tables were a tiny oasis in all the drabness.
Wow there's not much there anymore
Just The thought of living in that hood would make me holler !
Nice
It’s quite beautiful in a way ❤

I did Chester in the day it’s uploaded on the channel. Thanks!
@@hoodsnhollers thank you I will look !!!!
Thank goodness for the streetlights.
would be interesting to know what time of day each of these videos was shot.
It was about 9-10pm
Can you come to south philly at night, its not so dangerous but its can be dark and sketch: maybe 20th/morris area
Been there and yes it’s bad.
Can be people are happy here? I think NO.
They should build big beautiful homes here!!
Don't know what time this was filmed but wow where the people 😳🤨
Right around 9-10pm
ALL of Chester is a "worst area". As bad as Kensington, if that's even possible.
Like you said mostly everything is all covered up. Probably was a busy place in its hey day.
From NYC.. it doesn't look terrible

What kind of camera do you use ?
A lot of nice cars there though. I wouldn't expect that in an impoverished area.
It took a page from Camden NJ book
Looks okay. Been there before never had any problems.
It's not as bad as it used to be.
I've delivered food to hoods like this. I know the feeling
Pardon me, but are you using an iPhone camera or a Canon 📷? If it's an iPhone, please let me know the model. Superb video!!!!!!
Holland Gardens
