Detroit Is ONE GIANT HOOD: Jefferson-Chalmers 5K.

- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- You can see through this video how this area of Detroit used to look really nice. Today, most of it is abandoned. There are some nice areas that have been built back up that are close to the Detroit River, along with Indian Village which I saved for a separate video. This area of Detroit borders the wealthy Grosse Pointe Communities, and the contrast between the two is sharp.

Thank you. You Rock
I'm glad there are other hosts for other cities. They don't hate Detroit like you do. What are you trying to accomplish?
Years ago I was industrial sales, and used to go into these areas when there was still some industrial business in Detroit. It was always a treat. We called the area “8:00AM sales”. Because you wanted to be out of the area by 9:30 AM, before the local talent rolled out of bed.
Same here. 1975 I was hitting alot of Mfg. area's, including Zug Island.
GHOST TOWN.
Me too!!! Mid 70's for me !!!! Manufacturer's in seedie areas of Detroit !!! Had to have eyes in back of your head as well !!!! But, I enjoyed my job!!! Met alot of great customers !!!
Lots of code words here.
Talent =Black criminals.
Treat=living dangerously in a violent crime zone.
@@alfrednawrocki8061 !!! !!!. !!!, !!!?
Great videos! Detroit - I have been roaming and photographing the more challenged neighborhoods for almost 20 years. Glad to see the massive changes with so many abandoned homes leveled.
It was a great place to grow up in. A mix of many ethnicities. Many different income levels. Great architecture. Including my grandparents house on Chalmers and Essex. The smells of dinner being cooked in every house was unbelievable. Finally moved away when I was 12 to a nice suburb south of Boston. The riots of 67 and 68 were mostly west of us. My teachers in Hingham, MA were amazed at how much I knew of their 8th grade curriculum. Shout out to Guyton School that I went to K-7. Detroit had the most prosperous middle class in the country. It all went bad with the car industry being slow to adapt. anyone who grew up there in the 50s and 60s will tell you it was a great neighborhood.
The car companies and the government were also too generous with the Japanese car companies (WWII guilt?) and have them too much.
@joecampbell6844 I loved your grandparents' house! Vanessa and I were friends. Your mom took us there for lunch one day when we were 1st graders at St. Phillip's. We lived on Drexel at the time. As I recall, you lived on Coplin, not too far from the firehouse, where my dad was a firefighter. We moved to Lakewood & Freud when I was 10. I attended St. Martin's until it closed in 1970.
We also moved from Coplin. Eastlawn and Avondale right on the corner. Everyone remembers the fake old fashioned phone that was on the garage. Vanessa passed some time ago after a career as a singer in NYC. It’s a shame what happened to our neighborhood. We ended up in the Boston area in 1970.
@@joecampbell6844 Yes, I remember your family ended up moving from St. Phillip's to St. Martin's parish. Van was in my class there as well. It doesn't surprise me that she was an entertainer. On Coplin, she often put on backyard plays that she wrote, directed, and had the neighborhood kids participate in, me included. It is a shame what happened to to the neighborhood. We moved to Petoskey in 1970, after St. Martin's closed. I joined the military after graduating from HS there, settled in the Houston area after retiring, but go back each year to visit family. All of my siblings and my mother still live there. BTW, my name is Debbie Fruge' (pronounded frOO-szeh). You were probably in the same class as of one of my 7 younger siblings.
I love your detroit series I moved here back in August and I love you talk about the history!
i worked in Detroit for almost 40 years. It was sad to watch it's decline.
I was at the supermarket earlier and remembered your video about the Faygo plant, so I grabbed me some Redpop. Thanks for the videos Chris.
It saddens me greatly to think of the Christmas celebrations, Birthdays, Mother's and Father's Day and graduations, homecomings and dances from back in the day have long been forgotten. These were peoples lives!
This is what happens when unions and other corrupt entities, including and especially Democrats run private and public institutions
Pretty soon no one will remember.
Gotta❤the architecture of those old homes. Thank you for the driving tour!
Thank You, Just Was There , Shopping Jefferson Ave. Love The Place See It ALL Coming Back
Better to be a checkerboard of houses and vacant lots than half occupied, half abandoned houses.
Nah
Charlevoix = shar- le-voy.
Thank you. This is the Michigander pronunciation.
Those houses look like they use to be very nice back in the day with tree covered streets. If they were kept up, they would be fetching $350K+ at a minum. I assume they also have basements too.
I can almost visualize kids walking to their neighborhood school and dads outside working on the yard.
I thought the same while driving through!
Basements? Oh yes, that's where everyone chill's. It's safest spot so they remodel the basement first and the outside is last. If your crib looking good outside, then it's 1st to get broken into. You get inside, those homes are beautiful. Blow your mind how different they are inside.
@@5ringsaudits Basement is safest because bullet can't hit you there from the street.
People who worked at Ford plants who did not drive a Ford had to park in the far parking lot... much appreciated in the rain and snows.
At 11:00 on the left, you drove by what was the Lawrence Fisher Mansion. Behind the estate along the Grayhaven Canal, he had a boathouse built for his 104 ft yacht. In the mid-70s, the estate was purchased by Alfred Brush Ford and Elizabeth Reuther and donated to the Hari Krishnas.
We pronounce it Shar-La-Voy...
👍🏻 noted. I knew that but it slipped my mind when I edited the video.
Great job, Chris! Love your informative commentary, as usual!
Thank you very much for this fantastic ride Chris !! I think the interest of many people in Detroit is legitimate. There is no doubt that the history of Detoit contains enormous lessons for many other cities. Today it is very difficult to find cities that are not overwhelmed by ethnic or religious problems, deindustrialization, corruption, urban fragmentation, the dictatorship of cars and highways. Just like Detroit was a few years ago
@@donniematonnie9378 Don't get my wrong... There's no doubt Detoit was AND IS a Beautiful city. I'm, a Detroit admirer and I feel sad that many of old houses and industrial buildings are abandoned and collapsed ... But I see as well all the potential of a city ready for a grand come back !!!
@@jelirestri The wealthiest cities in the USA are overrun with criminals, addicts and homeless people. What in hell are you tripping on thinking Detroit is going to magically change after 60 years of Democrat corruption? Sure there are new people stealing from taxpayers now along with the old ones, but that's not for you to participate in, move along citizen. :-/
The sheer vastness of The D never ceases to amaze me
Thats the problem. Too much sprawl amd with no taxbase to support it. Hate to say it but half the city should be razed and given back to nature.
Thanks for the work dude! Good content.
Beautiful neighborhood at one time , fond memories. Go figure !
Thanks Chris i enjoy all your videos
I grew up in the Warrendale area in the 60-70s, it's changed a lot but still exists as a neighboorhood with most of the houses being kept nice and the lawns mowed (thanks Google street view). There are many reasons why the city imploded and it's not fair to pin the blame on any one factor, they all contributed. Hopefully things are looking up and the city will shine as it has in the past.
and it's not fair to pin the blame on any one factor
I can name one color that is the only factor.
@@fraternitas5117 Spoken like a true racist.

The fixation on negative comments really takes away from your content. You have good stuff here... no need to feed the the trolls.
I literally think this to myself every single video, he's constantly defending himself
Right, I hate when creators take the time to address them when it's definitely not going to stop.
I feel like the troll voice is good humor. No?
He shows the truth.
@@BillyT531 Right & Can't We All Do Better I Just There See Things Get Better
I've seen one of Peter Santenello's Inside Detroit video and some parts of Detroit seem like they're making a comeback which is pretty cool, and interesting, I can't wait to see how that plays out. I also enjoyed this video too, you always give a deep look into Detroit and you do your research.
Detroit is on some of the most fertile land in the world i wish it was built up i love the great lakes
@@SinisterLynch That land is polluted as hell.
@@chillwill5080 No it fing ist....outside of a few industrial areas....
@@keanuwick8485 What are you trying to mumble here? I grew up in Detroit, the whole place is an industrial area.
@@chillwill5080 So did I. You're clearly lying and dnt know what you're talking about. Can't tell if you're a boomer who still can't get past the riots from over 50 years ago or a Millennial who doesn't know the history of the city well. Because that statement is not even remotely true
I've noticed that the vast majority of neighborhoods in Detroit look like suburban neighborhoods as far as housing stock, like there isn't much really dense high rise development at all. My mom and grandmother were both born in Newark, NJ so that city has been my main experience with intense urban blight. It has lots of menacing high rise projects more like other old east coast cities.
Yup. Detroit was the 1st major city to be built this way. The central area of the city used to be pretty dense during the peak years.
Thats the problem. Its soooo many square miles thats so hardly populated its impossible to support with the current tax base.
@@ChrisHarden I’m not sure if you are aware Chris, so forgive me if you are, but housing was always an issue in Detroit’s heyday. There never seemed to be enough housing stock, and Detroit had plans for future residential neighborhoods that they had to shelve during the depression. There are a lot of folks that believe there would have been less social stress had they built more high rises in the period when there was millions of people and not enough housing. Although it would be a moot point because those high rises would just be huge abandoned buildings at this point anyways. Also you brought up how the homes in the suburbs were cheaper and taxes lower. That is true and a huge draw, but also people did not like living so close to industry. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the older folks who moved out. There weren’t just factories near some neighborhoods but also lots of small machine shops and similar places that factories required.
Hey. For the algorithm. And ya Detroit. Thanks Chris. New sub. 🙏🏼💜
Enjoyed it.
I am from the Jefferson/Chalmers area. I lived on Jefferson and Newport. I have seen the area deteriorated so bad. I did leave the area but still have family there.
I lived on Gray and Jefferson and went to school at Carstens which is at minute 19:10 in this video. I was put into the military ( given the choice of there of Michigan State) in 71
Lots of drugs and alcohol
I lived in this area from 1966-75. Eastlawn and Jefferson and then Marlborough and Kercheval. It was much nicer in the 60's it really started going down hill about 72 and then We moved into Grosse Pointe Park in 1975.
@@danerogers9058 it was white then now you live in rich White hood
On a side note, the Vanity Ballroom has a spring-loaded dance floor which was/is a rarity.
did you know the Vanity Ballroom opened on the eve of the stock market crash in 1929 on Detroit's far east side at Newport and Jefferson
@@dopeytripod yep......and I saw Lou Reed play there.....the Cinderella theater a couple blocks away was another former gem
big time Rock and Punk bands played at the Vanity Ballroom. These bands were MC5, Ted Nugent, Amboy Dukes, the Stooges and the Velvet Underground in June 18, 1971 and September 3, 1971. The Vanity was reopened in 1983. In 1986, the Vanity was home to the Huge Borde’s Trinidad Tripoli Band on Friday nights. The Vanity closed down in 1988 ... Great Job on all your Videos Chris I really enjoy them all
Back in the day, we all went to the Roostertail club off Jefferson on Marquette where it met the river. This was a disco that was every bit as nice as those in NYC including Studio 54 and the Copa. Those sparse neighborhoods were all full at the time I was there so looking at them today, I would think that Detroit in a lot of these areas is being turned into greenbelt meadows that will eventually have utilities turned off. It's a tale of two Detroits. The one with all the rehab and growth from the midtown on into downtown and the other that will eventually become clover meadows. I won't see all this in my lifetime but from what I've seen, it's on the way daily.
I went to studio 54 and the roostertail regularly...both were great...but don't compare studio to the roostertail
I remember seeing a documentary on Detroit around 10-15 years ago that stated you could fit the whole city of Vancouver Canada in the area that has been lost and that wildlife is taking over to the point that wolves are walking around downtown Detroit.
@@124marsh Wolves couldn't survive in Detroit, they would be found put up on blocks with gunshots to the head, stripped of their fur.
Do any of you know (including you Chris) Detroit is a French word meaning "The Straight." Detroit is actually pronounced "Day-Twah." The Detroit River is actually a straight and not a river. A straight is a body of water that connects two larger bodies of water. In this case, the Detroit River connects Lake St Clair and Lake Erie.
NO it's pronounced Detroit. just like it's written - thanks
Oh.. and put this phrase in your translator since vou don't speak French.
"une rivière droite" Can you spot your grammatical dysfunction?
That street at 20:00 looks like a nice drive through the countryside!
I grew up in Detroit and I enjoy seeing your videos.I moved to Alabama because I wanted my kids to grow up in a better/safer environment.
Ah yes, the Deep South, the bastion of wealth and safety 🤣
@SU1C1D3xPR4D4 Education too. 😀
Poor kids
I lived in Grosse Pointe Woods at the time, but I had a lot of friends and business in this area. That was before Coleman A Young. After him, there was no reason to visit the eastside. It was over, even then. I hated to see what happened to those beautiful neighborhoods. Left the Metro area in 1983 and only returned in 2001 to Chesterfield Twp. for 5 years to work in what was left of the auto business. I left when all the dealerships closed. I was recruited by another Detroit survivor in North Carolina. He even flew to Royal Oak to interview me. Loved that and took the job!
Stay there
Your videos are a real perspective of the decadence of cities due to economical crisis...it's what happens when lack of opportunities and education exist....
Charlevoix is "shar la voy"
did he say CHAR- le'vay? eeks.. 😱 that's SO wrong.
like saying GRATT eeyot.
actually "shar le vwa"
We lived on Lenox then moved to the city airport area (Conners and Gratiot) in 1966 one year before the riots. From the Lenox area there was Sanders chocolate shop, Neisners 5 and dime, Jupiter and the Cinderella Theater movies on Saturdays.
Housing crisis in 08, to 2011 didn't help along with 67 rebellion and auto jobs going. It's coming back downtown, midtown, still alot of solid, historical neighborhoods still thriving. Empty land is like a blank canvas for development. Detroit is coming back
Alter Rd. inspired the name of the band Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti spent some of his childhood in the Detroit area.
As a metro Detroiter I am loving this tour of my greater city area
Ditto
I literally just moved to JC from suburbs ( where neighbors don’t even talk to each other and a lot of entitled angry behavior rules ) because it’s amazing here - the people - the location - the nature . You def didn’t do your research if you think JC is in decline . But by all means - please keep making your hood videos to continue the negative narrative about Detroit and get your click bait fix - because it will keep all of the a..holes out in the suburbs . Also I Walk everywhere - and feel way more safe than I do in Clinton Township . Wow you say nice things about Downtown Detroit - your research also notably lacks actually talking to any residents .
You’re right about that. I live in Eastpointe and the neighbors don’t even know each other. I’ve been living here since 1972 and I still cannot seem to find any connection to these people.
I work at the Stellantis plant there in the video. My Trackhawk got stolen twice from there. That newer burnt up apartment at 16:00 has been that way for at least 4 years. The forest is coming back on some of those empty blocks. Many of the tire shops in the suburbs come to dump in those neighborhoods. There's a dump that Detroit residents can drop off tires and junk for free. There a weekly limit on tires I believe. I saw an aerial photo of that neighborhood from the late 40's and there wasn't a single empty lot. The houses were jam packed together.
Also, Jefferson Chalmers has seen incredible growth and it's one of the hottest up-and-coming areas with homes being completely renovated and sold for numbers that were unthinkable even 3-4 years ago. there's multiple community gardens in what used to be empty and abandoned lots, the neighbors are friendly and watch out for each other, they have their own snow removal in the winter and all the lawns are well kept in the summer. Yes there's vacant and eyesore homes but it's 100x better than it was 5 years ago and 5 years from now it'll be miles ahead of what this video shows. Your negative outlook and viewpoint of Detroit really shows in your videos.
Ok.
Admittedly it’s hard to sound positive about every neighborhood in Detroit it’s about the city not the people and honestly the population of Detroit in its past destroyed Detroit and a certain percentage still does stripping houses and bricks and sinks and window sashes
The negative outlook is for good reason...the city has LOST population for the last 7 census calculations i.e. 70 years. Jefferson Chalmers is still a shell of its former self. The only hope for JC is its proximity to GP; downtown is too far away.
Interesting!
16:04 Rev. Ann Johnson Elderly Apartments, senior citizens housing, burned 9.23.2019. Though there were believed to be no fatalities, six were injured and many lost everything -- all residents were displaced. Ruins stood for a while as i noticed its demolition nearing completion in early 2022.
Wow, have seen prior video's of how far Detroit has gone down, but this one is the Best ever, shows the good & bad of Detroit, + your so good at information, Thankful I'm Subscribed....
Woodward Ave heading up towards Pontiac I believe... White Castle hamburgers on the way. yum yum. I'll take a dozen to go. Haven't eaten in 18 hours.

No comments about 24:01? "Ever notice notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have [ __ ] with? That's me."
Great videos - lived on Chalmers from '73 to '86... right off Chandler Park Drive. I remember when there were trees and a lot less vacant lots.
Most of us love hood videos. I don't remember if I watched this video yet or if I've already commented on it yet, either🤣🤣🤣
HA! I like to see you shoot some videos in say July or August. Some nighttime videos for local color would be most interesting, LOL !
It would be interesting to see an interview with residents of those homes that remain. I wonder if they have seen the decline of their neighbourhood, or if they have moved in, hoping others will follow.
Why aren't YOU moving in?? Virtue signaling again??
Yes, the drugs and addicts, crime , poverty started while the factories were up and running.
At 24:00 in the video. The building with the clock above the door sitting on the corner of Drexel and Charlevoix can be seen in the movie Gran Torino.
ua-cam.com/video/OLdIKlXl3ZA/v-deo.html
I appreciate your comment on the clock was that a bank back in it's hay day.....
I recently bought a house in this neighborhood to rehab. There is a movement of artists moving back into the city. Between Duggan's administration working hard to transform the city and the efforts of those of us wanting to repopulate and repair, I have high hopes for this city. It looks much better than it did years ago. I love the meadows of this area. It feels a bit more rural. We hope to buy the land around us for outdoor music and gardening. The neighbors are mostly families that have been there since the 50s and 60s who were able to hang onto their homes and pass them down to their children in spite of unfair banking practices against communities of color. They are hard working people. I am trying to stay respectful as someone new and white moving into their neighborhood. Clearing a lot of the blight has made it harder for criminal elements to squat.
Your commentary is exceptional. Well done.
I went to Detroit in November 2021, enjoyed an ice hockey match and the Henry Ford Museum.
ice hockey?? where are you from?? in canada (no capital c because of justin trudeau) it's HOCKEY!
You should drive through Fairfield, Iowa. It has a cult complete with golden domes that people claim to fly in.
Several California counties say “Hold my beer”. When a city spends all its money on services for decrepit aged hippies, independent minded mentally ill unhoused by Saint Reagan (pbhn) and Fentanyl Phil, no money left for roads (Berkeley)
Mother Nature definitely plays the long game, doesn't she? She'll patiently wait while we have our empires of concrete and steel, but as soon as we abandon them? "Thank you very much, I'll have that back."
Detroit fell. But one thing it has that the Southwest is running out of.....Water. I moved out back in 1982. If a person had some extra cash buy the land. Someday it will be worth a fortune.
I am surprised a developer hasn't come in and bought up entire blocks....maybe back taxes are an issue
@@jc1979af I Was There Was Thinking Same Could Be So Nice Again !
I worked in this area for about a year and a half, used to go to that nice park by the water to walk my dog
The area south of Jefferson looks really nice, actually.
Is the banner beneath the video from the GoPro? Where from?
My only regrets is that there is no content out there for a true depiction of how beautiful the city was in the 70s/80s before the blight. It slowly eroded and descended into this ruin. It's the saddest thing to see.
I think a lot about what it would be like if there was 5k footage like this back in the day to see what everything used to look like.
@@ChrisHarden Actually it looked a lot like what Grosse Pointe Park looks like now From Wayburn to Sommerset between Mack and Jefferson.
I grew up close to there, used to go to the Time (9 cents) or Cinderella (25 cents) theater for the saturday kids' shows. I had friends that grew up there as well. It's shameful what has happened - thanks to Coleman Young and his gang.
Keep up the good work.thats my old hood. Just west of Chalmers at 13375 Longview. I had to çlear out to Warren. I was the last white boy there 😮 they called me the omàga man 😜

At one point while lived n Detroit, the Jefferson assembly plant had as many vehicles in the failed inspection lot as those streaming off the assembly line; thank you UAW.
UAW has been handed many hundreds of $$ Billions in taxpayer money during the Obama and Biden administrations. We need to STOP thanking them so much. :-/
it’s not just UAW. it’s management even more so. chrysler designs crappy cars. Design is a big part of quality. After all, the cars produced by Fiat are not known for quality either. And now that Peugeot is part of the dysfunctional family….bad American +bad Italian+ bad French does not equal Toyota.
Chris, it's Charlevoix, rhymes with boy, same as the tourist city in northern Michigan.
It might interest people to know...and I expect - shockingly...that in 1960 the wealthiest city in America, with the highest per capital income was...DETROIT!
As a kid we used to walk here to the park in the late 60's. After the riots, that all started to change.

People watch the “Hood” videos on “UA-cam” because that’s the closest they’ll ever get to visiting it. They like to watch comment and criticize us from the safety of their bubbles in the middle of nowhere. I was born and raised in Detroit, EastSide to be exact. It made me fearless and mentally strong. I can stand up and walk tall with confidence anywhere i go… ANYWHERE!!! It also taught us about getting RESPECT and giving RESPECT. Because if you didn’t, you got your head knocked off. My they all Rest In Peace ✌🏾
People are just Ignorant on UA-cam like these types of demeaning videos and for what?🤷♀️
I was living in the hood and still be in the hood.
That looks like Indian Mounds Dr. near Walker/Grand Rapids Michigan... with all the piles of trash.
You should visit lordstown ohio which had a gm plant close recently.
One day
The Arden Park and Boston Edison district is like Indian Village.
All those empty lots hold the promise of Detroit once again becoming a beautiful city.
People would need a reason to move there and there isn’t any reason to move there, which is why people are leaving there.
this will not happen again for 300 years.
No. No one really wants to invest in Detroit, and why would they. 😒. Downtown town is profitable as long as the quit robbing folks.
Ah the Vanity ballroom. I was in there once in 2007 and yeah there isn't much of anything to explore. Very damp inside.
That chrysler plant also builds the dodge durango.
Never seen such a vast food desert, but then, there's nobody there to feed
Love the videos. I would like to see a video specific to the great neiborhood that I grew up in and the middle school I went to. It’s between 7 mile and outer drive and between Van dyke and Sherwood. It was a great place to live but it quickly declined after busing was introduced in the mid 70s. As you now kno it’s one of the worst neiborhoods in Detroit.
Dig the music. Reminds me of "Ghost Dog".

Are you related to Rev. Wayne Foote in St Iggy?
I know the houses in Indian Village are between 4k and 15k sq ft, are there still people that wealthy in Detroit to live in these houses? I assume most of the houses were inherited.
There was a time when you could get those houses for almost nothing. Of course it would cost a small fortune to keep them up.
Also curious about zoning, seems residential and industrial mixed together.
This video is great; Detroit used to be so Grand . Thanks for posting it . Cities live and they Die .
Detroit will never die!!!
A lot of Detroit is gone still some parts live But My Detroit is gone what I once lived and knew
look at all the new development while he yammers on "what happened to Detroit".. wow!
I'm impressed with all the new shopping plazas, housing developments roads and infrastructure.
Barely recognizable to someone who lived there in the 90's.
I love the piano track you use at the beginning it's like a trademark
You literally missed a whole abandoned school called Stark Elementary. The riverfront you went to Maheras Park is abandoned the pool is full of grass and boarded up.
then you should drive up navahoe st. Algonquin etc.
you could’ve showed how vastly different the line is from Grosse Pointe to Jefferson Chalmers.
it’s like they fixed the grosse point street and left ours all fucked up.
Detroit uma cidade muito linda deve ser o máximo em conhece-la ainda mais com estas neves aí é também gosto muito destes seus vídeos ok
