lol don't let all these "mom and pop" shops fool you. It's still ghetto af with major gang activity. highland park, dog town, avenues, etc just because you see chad and susan walking their dog doesn't mean its a nice neighborhood.
I grew up in the 90’s and early 2000. Now I live in Santa Clarita . I don’t miss it at all. I’m glad I moved out . Now I want to move out of state California is not the golden state no more .
I grew up in Glassell Park, adjacent to Highland Park in the 1960’s to early 1970’s. It was a quaint town at that time. Saw the decline for awhile, but glad to see the entire northeast LA area getting better, at least I hope it is! I probably spent more time in Eagle Rock, but also spent a lot of time in Highland Park. Haven’t been back there for years though!
I remember buying a set of wheels in Highland Park in the 1980's. I felt like I was being watched. The seller yelled out that I was with him, no problem.
I lived in highland park from late 1997 to 2005. I went back in December 2019 to visit my dad and sister and I saw nothing but white folks, I almost thought I was in a lower level Beverly hills lol.
It was a great place to grow up in the 60's and 70's. There were so many garage bands and just about every race was presented ,,,, I live in a small town in Wisconsin (aka hell) now,
@@LosAngelesLiving Hell yes brother i miss beaches but not all the people, I live in River Falls WI the topography is a lot like HP rolling hills..River Falls lacks culture of any kind and the side walk suffers are weak and the bands suck,,,,
It is still very high crime. Many murders and shootings right now like the two dead bodies they found in the famous "pit". I feel sorry for anyone spending so much money only to be surrounded by murders.
@@joelopez7459 Yes, many of the violent crimes are completely random. College students from Occidental College get pistol-whipped and robbed there all the time.
I thought that too in 2013 but much hasn't changed. Los Angeles is completely different than New York. Things have been the way they here for a very long time. Gentrification hasn't been very successful here at all despite all the resources they expend to deceive people in order to get them to pay ridiculous high rent and prices. In other words, to rob people.

At least it's Chad and Susan and not Ken and Karen!
Truth.

It's the decaying state now.

Wow, that sounds scary, glad it's not like that anymore, at least as far as I can tell.

Do you miss the LA weather?

What caused you to move to Wisconsin?

Oh man, that's terrible.
depends were they random? No, then you'll probably be fine

Ain’t nothing like it was 20 years ago.
Gentrification. The G.
This is Edward Ferlong's old hood.
Didn't know that! I heard Billie Eilish lived here too
Not really , Edward Furlong grew in the San pascual area which is its own thing !
@@regularguyreviews3048 ahh nvm I just looked it up. You might be right. I didn't know San Pascual was in Highland Park.
Jackson Browne grew up here too. I live in his property.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn where I grew up and still live, is the template for urban gentrification. Ya having seen nothing yet!!!!

Moved out of highland park due to some white person buying my house
Gentrification
