Petersburg consistently has ranked in the top three in per capita homicides since at least 2013, medical examiner data show. The city was ranked first in three of the past six years. The city endured 77 killings over that period. By contrast, neighboring Chesterfield County, which has 10 times more people, had five homicides last year with a per capita homicide rate of 1.5 killings per 100,000 people, according to the medical examiner’s office. The county ranked 74th out of 82 localities that recorded at least one killing.
@@dkd8747that logic is wrong to the fullest 😂 it got nothing to do with the size. The reason Petersburg look worse than Richmond because one Gentrification they trynna fox up the city while kicking out long time residents. Two it’s the capital of the state. Three VCU basically runs that city. Petersburg just poor they don’t give af about regardless of the size. Hopewell is smaller than Petersburg yet looks better than Petersburg.
Wow! You hit some spots! Virginia Ave, Shore st, Harding st, Misletoe st, Liberty st, Harrison st, Sycamore st, It’s sad how Petersburg has declined over the years. It was the spot to be back in the day. We had the homes, apartments, the clubs, shopping, 2 movie theaters, restaurants, employment, Brown & Williamson tobacco & Central State Hospital were the biggest employers here back in those days….I miss the old Petersburg…It’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like it once was AT ALL…I’m preparing to move away from here. It’s crazy out here now. 🤦🏽♂️🙄
St Petersburg, is where Virginia State is located, right? Traveling from Georgia, back in the day, I thought anybody lived in a 2 story home was rich! Little did I know! You can tell this neighborhood was beautiful many years ago
@@engin3ar A couple of things. When the tobacco company here at that time back in I believe was 1982 Brown & Williamson moved to Georgia & in 1988 or 89 the mayor at that time voted against the new mall that’s now in Colonial Heights Va which is Southpark Mall. From what I remember my parents talking about. I was 14 & remember that when Southpark opened…the department stores & restaurants starting leaving.
Shout to Petersburg Richmond and The whole tidewater 757 home! Lived on the east end of Richmond for 8 yrs near Fulton. Lot of great memories in the 804!
I stopped in P'burg several years ago to visit the Crater and asked a number of black youths were I might find the Civil War battlefield and the Crater. None of them had a clue what I was even talking about! How do you grow up in P'burg and not know one of the defining moments in our history? I found the battlefield and I wasn't very far away. Ignorance is bliss...pitiful!
Had the same experience when I visited Fredericksburg back in 2010, only it was adults. The town isn't all that big and you don't know? Visited Petersburg during the same trip, but only saw the Dictator and the entrance to the Mine Shaft. Not enough time to see all that I wanted.
I grew up on that street that you just passed near the beginning of the video. It used to be WAY worst 20 years ago and there was drug dealers up on the corner always and in front of Shortts, People's and the other local food shops. You can say hi to most people now and they'll either smile and wave back or say hi to you back. I wouldn't call current Petersburg dangerous and most of the streets that you traveled on aren't really bad at all. Infact, I often take the route that you went up towards the end of the video when coming back home when catching the Walnut Hill bus. Now in terms of Petersburg being upkept, yeah that's another story. Lots of folks have been coming to Peterbsurg and renovating, but plenty of places are still run down. But I feel safer in Petersburg as someone who lived here for 30 years, than I do in Richmond and a few other towns
@@Paaka I walk through those areas all the time since I don't have a car, and most people are nice folks and will say hi to you. In 30 years here, i've never had any issues walking through those areas tbh
Looks post-apocalyptic! We have a few neglected areas, but nothing like this. We have good areas and bad areas, but not both together! We don't have abandoned houses mixed with normal lived-in houses. For us, it's not common to see wreaked abandoned houses overall, and when we do, it'll be the entire street. The idea of lived in houses and abandoned collapsed houses all peppered together, looks bizarre to us. But, you have more space so maybe things are more stretched out than they look. Plus, you have wooden houses. All the houses here are sold brick, so cost probably comes in to it as well. I'm guessing it costs less to construct a wooden house vs a brick built house?
Naw it's really fucked up but that's only because they know what it really is and who we really are!!! As Indian people they are trying to make us forget!!!!
Not bad. Peterburg’s a real place. Peterburg has real people out and about. Peterburg has active, vibrant street life. Peterburg is allowing change and improvement to happen organically instead of completely leveling its entire history, architecture, and street culture with urban renewal’s wrecking ball and entirely hollowing out its city. Norfolk is entirely gone. Peterburg has a chance. Peterburg still has character. Move to Peterburg.
Rome and Indiana Streets was where all the drugs were sold. Also, Halifax Street. I once drove by Halifax Street, I was doing about 30 miles an hour. A crowd of dealers was standing on the triangle there, and two of them started chasing my car, yelling: "Hey man, you want some cook-'em-up? You want some cook-'em-up?" I didn't and speed up.
I grew up here , this is mostly the heights and west Petersburg. I lived in Oakhurst which is fairly suburban. Live in dinwiddie now but parents still live in east walnut hill. This became of the corrupt government that vetoed every chance these ppl had.
Really sad what happened to my hometown. I can say that this was a great place to grow up. My mothers house was in the middle of the video. Everyone lived in somewhat harmony and there were only a few neighborhood skirmishes. Not the random killings you see now. Besides someone mentioning the tobacco factory closing and the mall not being built, another drain on the city was young people leaving and never coming back - myself included. Not enough career or economic opportunities. Once the older generations that were the backbone of the city began dying, there was no talent or families to replace them. Even most of the people that work in the city now (ie the teachers, policemen, etc) live in the neighboring counties (Dinwiddie, Chesterfield, Prince George) which are safer and have grown rapidly with nicer housing. The lack of replenished population is what have lead to all the dilapidated housing in the video. I could continue but it’s kind of sad to keep writing.
You try and get a float dog down there and they will try and sell you a replacement crop or a wine disher before they ever admit to it. I once had these tanners and wheel drums draw a roll heater in these options but they never wrapped its wings under the terrain. I never caught one of these over there unless there was a jean starter somewhere to begin with.
@@jusssmeh7860 It's only on one spectrum of it you see on the high north you would reckon for a wind tail to gather but you must not forget to put into consideration a turmoil post somewhere there in between lines.
Why didn't you mention the history, I went to college in Petersburg. It's one of the most beautiful areas in the state of VA, and the country the appamatox crater road and Pocahontas the first African American neighborhood est. After slavery was destroyed abolished
i used to live in petersburg,va which was on Floyd Street beside of school and playground field there. I left petersburg since grade 12 then never visit again. I just happen to visit youtube to see petersburg what it look like now. i was so surprise that it was worse than 20 years ago.
Y’all argue facts. You realize Petersburg had been too 3 in homicides per capita right? It’s literally statistically worse than Richmond goofball. These are statistical facts
OMG Charlie..it looks run down … people literally live in these run down houses. I don’t know what’s going on with their government or mayor, ?? but they need to come to this area put money into these properties and reconstruct this whole neighborhood all over again and make it nicer and clean,comfortable the people who live there.. it remind me a certain towns of upstate New York.. I like your travel channel🙌🏾
Anyone who works or owns property is taxed to death. Sound Familiar??? Petersburg lost Brown and Williamson because of democratic ideas.....then, the welfare folks and drug dealers took over....More democratic policies.
Been out here for like a month now. Petersburg chill as hell. Couple of crazy folks here and there but shit really calm compared to the 757. Now Richmond is is diff story.
But Ian gone lie it's just the thought of getting away but trust me MD ain't no better when it comes to the hood part!! But yea y'all have more and bigger but the hood is the hood no matter where u go
@@hadrianaugustus5712 That’s a fact, I left Baltimore in 2016 and I live by Petersburg. Not nearly as dangerous as Baltimore but the guys will try you like they have something to prove. I’ve met some of the most freakball woman here too. Street dudes in “the burg” are grimey and mostly rats to be honest.
Honestly petersburg has been receiving better people since Nova residents are moving to Richmond and petersburg are getting Richmond residents. The upkeeping of the homes are porr tho. Didn't seem so bad just poor maintenance of properties.
This is a country that's full grown but it's like talking to babies when you trying to tell him the real things you need stead of a brand new car to brand new bus and a brand-new this and😮😮😮😮
April 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln awoke at City Point to the news that Petersburg had fallen. Lincoln stopped at the abandoned Confederate fortifications along the Dimmock Line. Here Lincoln climbed the parapet of Fort Mahone. Lincoln’s face had “settled into its old lines of sadness” over the war’s enormous cost in human lives and suffering. Seems like people are still suffering today.
Thank you at least someone knows their history but it's much deeper than that ,, just wait u want to know the real follow my page I'll show u what they don't want u to know
A good rule of thumb is, wherever its a overwhelming majority of blacks living in a single area, that area is going to be high in crime. The parts of Detroit that are being cleaned up are by white investors and this is looked down upon by both blacks and Democrats as gentrification and seen as racism when these areas are cleaned up.
@@Danlovestrivium Among the black population there is no propaganda what "gangster romance" will lead to, young people cannot find themselves and go to rob and kill. In cities, sections are needed on a state basis: Music, sports, theater circles, etc. I think that these districts should not be feared, but it is worth ramming in and improving the situation, it is necessary to separate young people from former prisoners. Literally in 5-6 years of active work with districts, it is possible to radically change the position of these people, districts, and motivate them to work on themselves. The black citizens of America are very talented, I look at ordinary people from the ghetto from the author’s video, how a love couple in the ghetto dances not to music for bandits, there is love and right thoughts in people. It is necessary to correctly bring this out of the streets, through dialogue, through the eradication of elements that recruit people and their souls in a dirty direction. these are banal thoughts, but there is no other way.
@@Danlovestrivium Where are your city councils, what the fuck are they doing? fighting for transgender rights? there should be a state within a state, we do not have the problem of recruiting young people into gangs, and if this starts to happen, not only the police, but also the state security service take them.
I have lived in Petersburg for 20 years and this is not a true representation of the city. Petersburg is not a dangerous city. What is shown in this video is only a few streets or blocks of Petersburg. I dislike videos that only give one side of the story. Every city in the United States has areas like this. Come on people, let's start being positive and promoting love, peace, happiness and respect. I love my city of Petersburg.
I went driving around looking for houses for sale there are sections of the town that seem ok but I couldn't help but notice how many abandoned houses and businesses is saw in a 5 mile stretch plus the two abandoned schools which is foreign to me and most army post have not great towns next to them but Petersburg by far seemed the most run down I would even put barstow above it and Barstow is just a pit stop to vagas i think that some investment into the city could change how some feel here at gregg adams about Petersburg multiple people have said it's not safe and I got the sense while driving around I wasn't welcome there
I’m glad somebody said it! Yes just like most areas we have our bad parts but for the most part Petersburg is a beautiful city rich in good and bad history but the comradre we have here is real! There are ALOT of great, hardworking people in our city
Poor Petersburg, VA. A potentially charming little town. Nice people. I know because I stayed for a little while to take care of my nephews and nieces when my sister was hospitalized while battling breast cancer. She's dead now. And so is Petersburg, VA. 🏚🏚🏚
Sorry for ur loss ,, it can be so much more but the history is so deep they don't ever want us to know what's really going on nor what really happened here!!
April 4, 1968, 50 years ago Martin Luther King was killed, one of the most extraordinary and intelligent men in contemporary history. I think that the spaces that Charlie Bo offers us are the right location for this little memory of mine dedicated to Martin Luther King. The fact that everyone has forgotten it, reading the comments, is significant for a further interpretation of the United States. And of the images that flow in Charlie Bo's extraordinarily important reports. Greetings
MLK isn't really revered in the black communities anymore. MLK is usually just used for white people to go through the motions of pretending they care by bringing up his words or making new statues or roads named in his honor. But blacks today don't follow the words of MLK and aren't really interested in any of his teachings.
Legend has it that MLK was supposed to be in Petersburg the day he was assassinated..but due to an uprising in Memphis TN, he went there. MLK used to stay in a home on Harrison st. in Petersburg whenever he came to visit, look it up.
This is only one part of Petersburg. It is funny how people only show the bad parts of a city. Every city has it good and bad part. If you travel you will know this. So sad how people exploit a few blocks for UA-cam views.
Petersburg look like this about anywhere you go, you gotta be talking like colonial heights if it in Petersburg bc its a sundown town they dont want the blacks over there Otherwise the nice houses gonna be in hopewell chesterfield and prince George area
@@blackneji1701 I think you are are talking about one part of Petersburg. The Petersburg High School is right beside a golf ⛳ course and the Petersburg Country Club is surrounded by newer subdivisions. So how could a whole city be so called hood with things such as these . They didn't show the Old Town they didn't show any other parts but the parts that get views. Colonial Heights, Hopewell, and Chester are the same you have your good parts and bad like every city. Petersburg, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, and Prince George are intertwined. So you can live in any one of those cities and counties and have a Petersburg address. None of those were shown in the video. You can do a Zillow look up and see the many different parts of Petersburg. Petersburg is a really small town with less than 40k residents but is always compared to cities with 100k or more residents. What is being shown in the video is a few streets of the city . Do your own research people, with any city you have good and bad parts but for some reasons people love to highlight the negative. Get out and travel and you will see people are very selective with what they show you.

April 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln awoke at City Point to the news that Petersburg had fallen. Lincoln stopped at the abandoned Confederate fortifications along the Dimmock Line. Here Lincoln climbed the parapet of Fort Mahone. Lincoln’s face had “settled into its old lines of sadness” over the war’s enormous cost in human lives and suffering. Seems like people are still suffering today.
Thank you at least someone knows their history but it's much deeper than that ,, just wait u want to know the real follow my page I'll show u what they don't want u to know
Lincoln said these people will always be a torn in the side of America

It doesn't look like a very dangerous place, sort of like parts of Detroit that are starting to be cleaned up.
It’s not that bad.
A good rule of thumb is, wherever its a overwhelming majority of blacks living in a single area, that area is going to be high in crime. The parts of Detroit that are being cleaned up are by white investors and this is looked down upon by both blacks and Democrats as gentrification and seen as racism when these areas are cleaned up.
@@Danlovestrivium Among the black population there is no propaganda what "gangster romance" will lead to, young people cannot find themselves and go to rob and kill. In cities, sections are needed on a state basis: Music, sports, theater circles, etc.
I think that these districts should not be feared, but it is worth ramming in and improving the situation, it is necessary to separate young people from former prisoners. Literally in 5-6 years of active work with districts, it is possible to radically change the position of these people, districts, and motivate them to work on themselves.
The black citizens of America are very talented, I look at ordinary people from the ghetto from the author’s video, how a love couple in the ghetto dances not to music for bandits, there is love and right thoughts in people.
It is necessary to correctly bring this out of the streets, through dialogue, through the eradication of elements that recruit people and their souls in a dirty direction.
these are banal thoughts, but there is no other way.
@@Ноук Well, I wish these people were in your country instead of mine so that your people could attempt to do what no one else has been able to do.
@@Danlovestrivium Where are your city councils, what the fuck are they doing? fighting for transgender rights? there should be a state within a state, we do not have the problem of recruiting young people into gangs, and if this starts to happen, not only the police, but also the state security service take them.

I have lived in Petersburg for 20 years and this is not a true representation of the city. Petersburg is not a dangerous city. What is shown in this video is only a few streets or blocks of Petersburg. I dislike videos that only give one side of the story. Every city in the United States has areas like this. Come on people, let's start being positive and promoting love, peace, happiness and respect. I love my city of Petersburg.
I went driving around looking for houses for sale there are sections of the town that seem ok but I couldn't help but notice how many abandoned houses and businesses is saw in a 5 mile stretch plus the two abandoned schools which is foreign to me and most army post have not great towns next to them but Petersburg by far seemed the most run down I would even put barstow above it and Barstow is just a pit stop to vagas i think that some investment into the city could change how some feel here at gregg adams about Petersburg multiple people have said it's not safe and I got the sense while driving around I wasn't welcome there
Im from Petersburg to....And that shit is dangerous now...I been in Carolina for like 20 years my damnself...Love my city but Petersburg fell off🙏🏾
I’m glad somebody said it! Yes just like most areas we have our bad parts but for the most part Petersburg is a beautiful city rich in good and bad history but the comradre we have here is real! There are ALOT of great, hardworking people in our city
Poor Petersburg, VA. A potentially charming little town. Nice people. I know because I stayed for a little while to take care of my nephews and nieces when my sister was hospitalized while battling breast cancer. She's dead now. And so is Petersburg, VA. 🏚🏚🏚
Sorry for ur loss ,, it can be so much more but the history is so deep they don't ever want us to know what's really going on nor what really happened here!!

April 4, 1968, 50 years ago Martin Luther King was killed, one of the most extraordinary and intelligent men in contemporary history.
I think that the spaces that Charlie Bo offers us are the right location for this little memory of mine dedicated to Martin Luther King.
The fact that everyone has forgotten it, reading the comments, is significant for a further interpretation of the United States.
And of the images that flow in Charlie Bo's extraordinarily important reports. Greetings
Wow! I never knew it was April 4 he died. Thanks for reminding us
MLK isn't really revered in the black communities anymore. MLK is usually just used for white people to go through the motions of pretending they care by bringing up his words or making new statues or roads named in his honor. But blacks today don't follow the words of MLK and aren't really interested in any of his teachings.
Legend has it that MLK was supposed to be in Petersburg the day he was assassinated..but due to an uprising in Memphis TN, he went there. MLK used to stay in a home on Harrison st. in Petersburg whenever he came to visit, look it up.
Omg n I thought nyc was bad
where trey used to watch his daddy cut that caine
😂😂😂
It's not bad here lol
bom.
This is only one part of Petersburg. It is funny how people only show the bad parts of a city. Every city has it good and bad part. If you travel you will know this. So sad how people exploit a few blocks for UA-cam views.
Petersburg look like this about anywhere you go, you gotta be talking like colonial heights if it in Petersburg bc its a sundown town they dont want the blacks over there
Otherwise the nice houses gonna be in hopewell chesterfield and prince George area
@@blackneji1701 I think you are are talking about one part of Petersburg. The Petersburg High School is right beside a golf ⛳ course and the Petersburg Country Club is surrounded by newer subdivisions. So how could a whole city be so called hood with things such as these . They didn't show the Old Town they didn't show any other parts but the parts that get views. Colonial Heights, Hopewell, and Chester are the same you have your good parts and bad like every city. Petersburg, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, and Prince George are intertwined.
So you can live in any one of those cities and counties and have a Petersburg address. None of those were shown in the video. You can do a Zillow look up and see the many different parts of Petersburg. Petersburg is a really small town with less than 40k residents but is always compared to cities with 100k or more residents. What is being shown in the video is a few streets of the city . Do your own research people, with any city you have good and bad parts but for some reasons people love to highlight the negative. Get out and travel and you will see people are very selective with what they show you.
Battlefield Park neighborhood pretty decent, Walnut Hill we have a few decent neighborhoods that's quiet and affluent.
Not dangerous just broke. I live in chester
Like that's a cone-up?
