There's one district you didn't get it's the old Willard district between Linwood and main Street and Pennsylvania and Western. And if you go through it you will know where the worst district is. P.S. it's really close to downtown Oklahoma City.
@@alexhaverman113 Typically the tornadoes stay out of the metro. They can’t stand the NBA’s virtue signaling and avoid the Stadium 🏟!

I live in Okc now and have lived here most of my life. Love it here. Mostly wonderful people, low cost of living and very little crime compared to other places. Some poor people but most have pride. Love it here.
The “East side” really isn’t that bad it just needs some attention I live on the NE side so it’s really not that bad a lot of the buildings are just old and haven’t been messed with
Thanks for the info, just love these houses. The neighborhood looks very decent to me, I don't understand the term "worst.." You had an Ice storm, that explains the condition of the trees!!! I was wondering what's going on with the trees. We had the same in Montréal in 1998, a true apocalypse, I sympathize greatly 🌟
Paved streets with curb and gutter, plus sidewalks in mint condition! No burned out houses, graffiti or old cars on cinder blocks in weedy front yards. 😳The worst parts of OKC look better than 60% of Arkansas small towns (sigh).
well they are just starting to put sidewalks in.., newer neighborhoods put them in with the subdivision, older developments are putting them in now, after 40 plus years of not having sidewalks
He's going through the Paseo Arts District, which is one of the safest neighborhoods I've ever lived in. Could freely walk around at 2am and never be bothered. Car was left unlocked for weeks and no issues. Not sure where this guy read Paseo is the worst neighborhood because it's one of OKC's better places.
You passed my grandmas house lol but that side of town is quiet compared to the Southside. I grew up on that side of town and barely seen anything really bad happen. These days parts of that side of town are being renovated
Having grown up on OKC and attended US Grant H.S., OKC really doesn't have many really bad areas. Even the S.E. side by old Capital Hill H.S. has improved.
I spent a few weeks on OKC in the late 80's while attending the FAA academy. I found the locals to be very friendly and accommodating. Coming from the eastern US, I was pleased with my short time there.
A lot of OKC has gentrified over last 30 years. And while you got some rough apartment complexes here and there, everything spread around. Take NW89th street/Britton RD area. Sure you've got the North Park Apartments, but then on 104th you've got decent single family houses.
I live in Oklahoma City. There are isolated pockets of concern, but we honestly can’t complain. Most neighborhoods are well cared for and the City of OKC can be aggressive with code enforcement. You’ll see a lot of new residential construction currently in many of the older areas that had lots or dilapidated homes bought for the lot.
My thought before you said it...build new housing units that are affordable, for families. It brings in new businesses, schools, etc. It's not always gentrification,it's to elevate the standard of living for all. A high tide raises all the ships.
Gentrification one thing I get about gentrification is the people that are less fortunate suffer there literally just building shit for the wealthy people and there businesses especially my old neighborhood, people like that don't know that feeling because there stealing memories and why do they make the houses modern after they kicked the less fortunate out? And this is happening everywhere in OKC just push all the other people back and put all the wealthy pigs in there spot sounds familiar

Pretty sure you drove by what used to be a BBQ joint where, if you ordered a "half order," the proprietor would say, "If y'only gat a half order, y'only gonna get half full!" Quite the character, that guy! That was decades ago, and I heard he passed since then.
You drove through the Paseo district which is pretty popular for the restaurants, some really nice ones actually and how walkable the area is. There's actually some upscale places to eat. And you were mere blocks from Oklahoma city's oldest very affluent neighborhood. You did drive around some of the north east side which is a poorer area as well as near the state capital which has some very nice old two story homes that you would have to be earning a pretty good salary to afford to live there. Where are you from? I've lived here my entire life and I know where the poorest, with a higher crime rate neighborhood truly are. Guess I should make my own video.
You can come to Reno and let them get lost in the smoke from the California fires 🤓…that is if their lungs don’t give out first. I love when people at work give me crap for wanting to go back home (OKC). They always say “what about the Tornadoes?” And I always reply…you can drive away for an hour or two of your day and avoid them & just come back home (lived there 15yrs and never got hit) but in Reno I have to breathe in smoke for days, sometimes a week or longer, due to wild fires. I’ll take the tornado.
It isn't. He needs to go around 44th st between High and Shields. My boyfriend had an apartment around there for a while he actually purchased a firearm before moving there in case he needed it. He didn't even want to have any of his friends over there the whole year he lived there. He never even had me over there. Ironic thing is he lives over there near the area that is shown in the video and feels much safer and more comfortable having me and other friends over.
I saw another UA-camr post a video of them driving through rough areas of LA at night. Nick do you have what it takes to do that? Take your channel to the next level 😂
Really? Those are the bad places in Oklahoma City? The yards were clean, lawns mowed, and the houses looked in good condition. In fact, there were some beautiful looking old Craftsman style homes there. I saw parks, schools that looked just fine. If I had too move to that city I wouldn't mind. East Cleveland wishes they had more neighborhoods like this!
Apparently he doesn’t know OKC very well because areas around the state capital are some of the hottest areas for refurbishment, flip houses. Prices have skyrocketed in the past 2-3 years.
a lot of the houses in that area are overran by homeless crackheads soo many houses right through there have been burning down from “homeless people” (might be the city doing it to get rid of these places so new people can come in and build) the area is highly sought after you’ll see a road with crazy huge nice mansions then the road over is crackhead rd lol
I've lived in OKC my whole life and trust me he did not go anywhere close to the bad areas of town. Show areas like "murder one" which was named by the cops or Southside where Southside Loco and MS 13 have drive bys all the time. Hell I have 3 well known drug/gang houses across the street from me. But I still love OK and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Grew up in the area he drove through. It really isn't bad. It's just low-income housing. I still have quite a bit of family out that way. I love visiting.
Ok, those municipal buildings look dated, around 1960's architecture, but not run down, like in Detroit...also, that cathedral ? Again, Nick where are these run down neighbourhoods ? Let's see you engage some folks whom live there on camera and see what they have to say about the stats on their own neighbourhoods ?
He didn't even show the actual worst parts of OKC, but if you think these places look nice then go check out some neighborhoods south of 104th along S May or S Penn on Street View.
Lived in OKC my whole life. This " worst part of okc" just looks like any place in San Antonio or any part of Los Angeles when i visited there in 2006 and 2017 respectively.
This looks like it was filmed last Winter. All of the trees are bare. Also, notice how many of the trees were mangled and severely damaged by last October's ice storm! Really, OKC looks just like Amarillo.
Well, I said he showed The Capital and that's pretty crooked. 😂 But sadly, no. Oklahoma City and it's smaller suburbs have plenty of crime, unfortunately.
I love hearing you laugh in the background when you’re turning at the beginning. You’re trying so hard not to be loud it reminds me of try not to laugh in church when I was younger.😎
Doesn't every town have an old area? Isn't there poverty everywhere? On the inside, some of these homes are just gorgeous, with beautiful woodwork. every town has a mixed bag. But having lived in OKC since age 12, I can tell you there are much worse neighborhoods. And some of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen are in OKC.....to rival Beverly Hills.
When was this taken? It says one day ago, but no leaves are on the trees, looks better from the October ice storm that broke all the trees down, My yard is still horrible, I'm old and can't clean it that fast any more, it will take me years to get it back to what it once was, but thanks for showing Oklahoma. :)
Of course the video opens with the East Side... also my neighborhood is in this video about 8 minutes in so I had no clue that I live in the worst area. Rarely does anything crazy happen and I feel safe walking at any hour of the day or night. And the housing is going up to ridiculous amounts to pander to the trust fund hipsters and yuppies that have been moving in from other states.
I have lived in oklahoma most of my life and the only really bad place is valleybrook they will ticket you for breathing but everywhere else it's honestly not bad oklahoma is growing slowly but we are getting there. He is also driving through a division which was built 35 to 40 years ago in and near what we call old Town
what is it with oklahoma cops that pull you over for no real reason? are they bored? do they only stop people who wont hurt them? i have be pulled over on i 40 near muldrow and he had no reason, said he wanted to warn me about the construction. now in the southern border of the state, same shit, no real reason. maybe it was the out of state plates. made my wife want to sell the house we just bought there and stay in texas.
As someone who lived in OKC and Edmond for 17 years (I even lived literally around the corner from that awesome big grey stone church/cathedral at 7:23 for a couple of years...I even played pickup basketball in the church's parking lot - me lilly white and the neighborhood guys I played with black) , these are NOT The "worst areas" of OKC...but there aren't many really bad areas compared to most large cities.
"Worst Neighborhoods of Oklahoma City" are you go to the Paseo Arts District??? Unless 24-year-old coffeehouse hipsters are your biggest fear, you must have never left the gated neighborhood if you think THAT is the worst neighborhood in OKC.
Actually OKC is very safe, this is nothing compared to detroit, cleveland, chicago. All them houses and areas you showed is so clean, so nice and fresh and on a beautiful day! OKC might be uneducated people, but they are great people and it is a beautiful state!
I grew up on this side of town. My whole family is from here. These neighborhoods were all white 70 years ago and then black people moved in so the whites moved out and that was about the last time anyone cared to put money into the neighborhoods . Even then, they aren’t bad homes the people are great and the schools are all black. We don’t have a grocery store over there anymore but it sucks to say it’s the worst neighborhoods. Go to the south side of the city and compare.
Good choice picking the state capitol area, I know that area very well. Next time you in my area I should you some places that you don't miss with at night
I seen nice enough neighborhoods. I never seen anything bad at all. Everything was clean . Looked like average middle class folk area to me. Nothing wrong.

I lived in this area for over 15 years...y'all rode right past my old house...this is hardly a bad neighborhood..I moved here from East Cleveland...now that's a BAD neighborhood 😂
I would love to see you revisit some states because I want to learn all I can and I enjoy your delivery and no nonsense take.

I think I’ll definitely need to hire you for when I am ready for my move here in the next couple of years, if you’re still offering that service.
Ironically, this so-called worst area, is only a couple miles from ou medical school and huge hospitals, trauma center, Children's, & medical research companies.
I moved to OKC from NY , and I had an incident where I had to call the police . He heard my “accent” and said you’re not from here , I said no . I moved away from crime and murders and wanted a lower cost of living , he said it’s crime here too . I started laughing , I told him when does the crime start ? At night it’s so damn hot they must do it at night 🤣🤣🤣 cause no ones hardly outside . You don’t see ppl on any corners harassing you , you don’t see ppl shooting at each other , I told the police officer , just be glad you don’t have to bodybag ppl every week . You don’t know crime sir , I’m sorry .
It was mostly the north and northeast sections of the city. The large gray cathedral is a Presbyterian church complex with gorgeous stained glass windows and an old cemetery. He then drove through the heart of our historic Paseo Arts District with most of the original Craftsman bungalows still there. There really isnt much by way of widespread dilapidated buildings because of urban renewal and strict code enforcement. Granted there are pockets of run down neighborhoods here and there, and a large homeless population along the I40 corridor, but mostly you'll find hard working folk who take pride in their surroundings. This was filmed in the winter so you didnt get to see just how green Oklahoma City really can be. Most of the tree damage that I saw in this video appears to be from the ice storms that we've been having the last few winters. I encourage everyone to come and visit Oklahoma City and see for yourself. We aren't as flashy as larger cities and the night life is a bit sleepy, but you'll find lots of museums and art galleries, a world class zoo, and some of the warmest, friendliest people that you could ever hope to meet! Much love from Oklahoma! P.S. no, I dont work for the tourism dept or a P.R. firm, just a proud citizen of central Oklahoma for 44 years.
@ Karin O'Shea, thank you! My Sister and her family has lived in OKC for over 30 years and I've been there to visit more times than I can count. I didn't recognize anything in this video. Thanks again! Kj Hopkins 🙂
Seriously this guy didn't even drive over by ne 4th and lottie aremaven valley brook what about down on se 15th between I 35 and central... and those aren't terrible hell the Plaza motel on I 35 is probably the deadliest place in town unless you count the oklahoma county jailhouse
Brah he's just driving down E23rd. And then drove in circles around classen by the Asian district, which has been built up for tourism. These are just working folks and a handful of hipsters.
Yeah he's showing the gentrified areas that are going up upwards towards California's rent for all the white collar transplants moving out here. I live right around that area and that is definitely not the worst area if anything the rent is going way up and the demographics are getting more upper class.
They had a very bad ice storm not long ago and that explains the abundance of trees that need a lot of work . Most of those houses you drive by are in older neighborhoods but I bet they’re up double digits in the last year . I didn’t see anything terrifying .
Compared to the SE side of Fort Wayne or west side of Anderson (both cities in Indiana), this looks fairly tame. The east side of Indy (and near west side Haughville) is even worse.

Pretty sure you drove by what used to be a BBQ joint where, if you ordered a "half order," the proprietor would say, "If y'only gat a half order, y'only gonna get half full!" Quite the character, that guy! That was decades ago, and I heard he passed since then.
From an obesity related illness?
Just kidding
you dont need teeth to eat Lewis' Beef
You drove through the Paseo district which is pretty popular for the restaurants, some really nice ones actually and how walkable the area is. There's actually some upscale places to eat. And you were mere blocks from Oklahoma city's oldest very affluent neighborhood. You did drive around some of the north east side which is a poorer area as well as near the state capital which has some very nice old two story homes that you would have to be earning a pretty good salary to afford to live there. Where are you from? I've lived here my entire life and I know where the poorest, with a higher crime rate neighborhood truly are. Guess I should make my own video.
These are the hoods tho. Don't let the look fool you. OKC born and raised

It’s so flat here, we could watch our dog run away for two weeks….
You can come to Reno and let them get lost in the smoke from the California fires 🤓…that is if their lungs don’t give out first. I love when people at work give me crap for wanting to go back home (OKC). They always say “what about the Tornadoes?” And I always reply…you can drive away for an hour or two of your day and avoid them & just come back home (lived there 15yrs and never got hit) but in Reno I have to breathe in smoke for days, sometimes a week or longer, due to wild fires. I’ll take the tornado.
@@christopheragee8582 why would someone want to have their dog lost in a forest fire?
that because the earth is flat.
Maryland too
i live in okc and that's funny. not because the earth is flat because being from here, that's really funny.
I’m not convinced that’s the worst part.
You're right
Yeah, he needs to go to Kerr Village or around SW 30th and portland...
It isn't. He needs to go around 44th st between High and Shields. My boyfriend had an apartment around there for a while he actually purchased a firearm before moving there in case he needed it. He didn't even want to have any of his friends over there the whole year he lived there. He never even had me over there. Ironic thing is he lives over there near the area that is shown in the video and feels much safer and more comfortable having me and other friends over.
@@LittleWing1985 The South Side and South Eastern Side is dangerous
Nick, you must be joking for the the term “worst”. But thanks for your showing around.
I saw another UA-camr post a video of them driving through rough areas of LA at night. Nick do you have what it takes to do that? Take your channel to the next level 😂
Really? Those are the bad places in Oklahoma City? The yards were clean, lawns mowed, and the houses looked in good condition. In fact, there were some beautiful looking old Craftsman style homes there. I saw parks, schools that looked just fine. If I had too move to that city I wouldn't mind. East Cleveland wishes they had more neighborhoods like this!
looks can be deceiving
@@banditolecheeto yea and there could be serial killers in rich gated communities.. that doesn't really mean a whole lot, lol.
Apparently he doesn’t know OKC very well because areas around the state capital are some of the hottest areas for refurbishment, flip houses. Prices have skyrocketed in the past 2-3 years.
a lot of the houses in that area are overran by homeless crackheads soo many houses right through there have been burning down from “homeless people” (might be the city doing it to get rid of these places so new people can come in and build) the area is highly sought after you’ll see a road with crazy huge nice mansions then the road over is crackhead rd lol
I even saw a yard with an American flag flying.
@ET Music we are a Red State, nobody will tell us to take down our flags!
We don't have enough state pride lol
I've lived in OKC my whole life and trust me he did not go anywhere close to the bad areas of town. Show areas like "murder one" which was named by the cops or Southside where Southside Loco and MS 13 have drive bys all the time. Hell I have 3 well known drug/gang houses across the street from me. But I still love OK and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
There are not drive by all the time on the Southside. It's a little rough north of 240, but not that bad
You know dang well gang s ain’t out there in the streets like that. There but go to jail .
Grew up in the area he drove through. It really isn't bad. It's just low-income housing. I still have quite a bit of family out that way. I love visiting.
Ok, those municipal buildings look dated, around 1960's architecture, but not run down, like in Detroit...also, that cathedral ? Again, Nick where are these run down neighbourhoods ? Let's see you engage some folks whom live there on camera and see what they have to say about the stats on their own neighbourhoods ?
I’ve lived here for nearly 25 years. OKC has had really good leadership overall. The city has been on an upward trajectory for a long time. Proud!!
From what I have seen so far, I want to move to OKC. It looks upper-class compared to what I see every day!
He didn't even show the actual worst parts of OKC, but if you think these places look nice then go check out some neighborhoods south of 104th along S May or S Penn on Street View.
Lived in OKC my whole life. This " worst part of okc" just looks like any place in San Antonio or any part of Los Angeles when i visited there in 2006 and 2017 respectively.
hello, What are some good places in OKC. I am thinking about the move. NO TORNADOES. Bro Just need a spot for my motorcycles. in healthcare
This looks like it was filmed last Winter. All of the trees are bare. Also, notice how many of the trees were mangled and severely damaged by last October's ice storm! Really, OKC looks just like Amarillo.
U can tell it winter no green grass or leaves on trees. And obviously doesn't know bad areas of okc I do!
Are you trying to say there's nothing wrong with Oklahoma City
Well, I said he showed The Capital and that's pretty crooked. 😂 But sadly, no. Oklahoma City and it's smaller suburbs have plenty of crime, unfortunately.
Was waiting for you to get to the worst part but you didn’t go there :( this is just northside
Hey Nick this neighborhoods aint that bad compare to Chicago or Baltimore
Technically speaking, Oklahoma seems to be the safest out of the other states that you have visited.
What is so bad about it? Everyone has a decent looking car and it is clean, not run down
Thats because of the vision bill whitch would clean up the city in the 90s OKC was run down
Makes me want to move there.
No thanks, we have all the people we need here!
Long you we repub why it’s not a dump
I just saw some pics of Kensington, Philadelphia. Holy crap! It looked like zombies shuffling across a warzone!
I love hearing you laugh in the background when you’re turning at the beginning. You’re trying so hard not to be loud it reminds me of try not to laugh in church when I was younger.😎
Looks like there's been an ice storm..... Many of the trees are broken
Yep
Doesn't every town have an old area? Isn't there poverty everywhere? On the inside, some of these homes are just gorgeous, with beautiful woodwork. every town has a mixed bag. But having lived in OKC since age 12, I can tell you there are much worse neighborhoods. And some of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen are in OKC.....to rival Beverly Hills.
he should’ve turned left on 23rd if he wanted to see the actual bad part 😂
This for real!
Specially near Kelly and Lotte lol
When was this taken? It says one day ago, but no leaves are on the trees, looks better from the October ice storm that broke all the trees down, My yard is still horrible, I'm old and can't clean it that fast any more, it will take me years to get it back to what it once was, but thanks for showing Oklahoma. :)
Of course the video opens with the East Side... also my neighborhood is in this video about 8 minutes in so I had no clue that I live in the worst area. Rarely does anything crazy happen and I feel safe walking at any hour of the day or night. And the housing is going up to ridiculous amounts to pander to the trust fund hipsters and yuppies that have been moving in from other states.
I have lived in oklahoma most of my life and the only really bad place is valleybrook they will ticket you for breathing but everywhere else it's honestly not bad oklahoma is growing slowly but we are getting there. He is also driving through a division which was built 35 to 40 years ago in and near what we call old Town
what is it with oklahoma cops that pull you over for no real reason? are they bored? do they only stop people who wont hurt them? i have be pulled over on i 40 near muldrow and he had no reason, said he wanted to warn me about the construction. now in the southern border of the state, same shit, no real reason. maybe it was the out of state plates. made my wife want to sell the house we just bought there and stay in texas.
@@JP-wn2xc Most cops 9 times out of 10 will stop you because they're bored and because they're trying to be nice
As someone who lived in OKC and Edmond for 17 years (I even lived literally around the corner from that awesome big grey stone church/cathedral at 7:23 for a couple of years...I even played pickup basketball in the church's parking lot - me lilly white and the neighborhood guys I played with black) , these are NOT The "worst areas" of OKC...but there aren't many really bad areas compared to most large cities.
Doesn't look as bad as Cleveland Ohio. 😂
Whats the difference between clamidia and a condo in Cincinnati? You can get rid of clamidia.
@@everintransit4240 is Cincinnati even that bad tho ?
@@GangGang2x everyone thinks where they’re from is the best/worst. It’s funny.
"Worst Neighborhoods of Oklahoma City" are you go to the Paseo Arts District??? Unless 24-year-old coffeehouse hipsters are your biggest fear, you must have never left the gated neighborhood if you think THAT is the worst neighborhood in OKC.
So where are the bad parts? All the houses look well taken care of and the lawns are mowed.
He didn't show them I live in okc
@@anonymous-zb2wy exactly
Actually OKC is very safe, this is nothing compared to detroit, cleveland, chicago. All them houses and areas you showed is so clean, so nice and fresh and on a beautiful day! OKC might be uneducated people, but they are great people and it is a beautiful state!
This isn’t “the worst” part of OKC. Trust me
I grew up on this side of town. My whole family is from here. These neighborhoods were all white 70 years ago and then black people moved in so the whites moved out and that was about the last time anyone cared to put money into the neighborhoods . Even then, they aren’t bad homes the people are great and the schools are all black. We don’t have a grocery store over there anymore but it sucks to say it’s the worst neighborhoods. Go to the south side of the city and compare.
There's a grocery store over there now but it's like the most expensive one in town.
Damn, the video started out on 23rd and Kelly moving East to Lottie. This is where my whole family is from. 13th and Lottie to be exact.
Still old snow on the ground. Pretty tame ride overall. Let it green up a bit…this must have been feb/mar right after the big freeze.
I thought this was going to be about Weedhole Oklahoma.
Good choice picking the state capitol area, I know that area very well. Next time you in my area I should you some places that you don't miss with at night
Sounds fun
No commentary?? That's the best part of your videos!
😂😂😂
This CharlieBo313
I seen nice enough neighborhoods. I never seen anything bad at all. Everything was clean . Looked like average middle class folk area to me. Nothing wrong.
A lot of these areas are more lower class but despite their economic class, a lot of people still take good care of their houses and yards with pride.
You missed Oak Creek apartments. Grew up around there. 59th and Walker. Lots of SSL back in the day. Sure they are still around.
It looks like people take good care of their property's, I noticed they have chemtrails there too.
Indeed we do. On both lol
NICK I TRULY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT THAT YOU PUT INTO MAKING THESE VIDEOS. I AM ALSO GLAD THAT YOU VISIT IN THE DAY TIME HOURS TO GIVE US GREAT VISIBILITY...BUT ALSO TO STAY SAFE AS WELL. PLEASE STAY SAFE AND VIGILANT. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT THING ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE THAT ARE LOOKING TO MOVE FROM PRESENT SURROUNDINGS TO SHOWING THOSE WHO DO NOT GET TO SEE MUCH OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE SHAPE IT IS TRULY IN. STAY SAFE AND BE BLESSED. I WILL KEEP WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS.
This was the greatest video trip ever. Keep up the great work. It is a pleasure viewing your channel. This is without a doubt in my mind the best channel on U-Tube ever. I try not to miss a single one I like each one and and subscribed to your channel. No bull, you tell it like it is. You have a channel that America can trust and that’s hard to find now days. Thank you and keep up the excellent job that you do.
Really, the worst? Looks good!
This is during winter time in oklahoma that is why all the trees look bare.
Looks like a nice middle class neighborhood. Come to Tampa or Miami if u want to see real impoverished ghetto areas.
I lived in this area for over 15 years...y'all rode right past my old house...this is hardly a bad neighborhood..I moved here from East Cleveland...now that's a BAD neighborhood 😂
Cleveland a real shithole 🤣😂
Damn East cleveland.....Your worse than Camden .....I thought we were the worst in the country but damn
You need to take a ride through the hidden apartment complex next to dolese park. It used to be called willow cliff not sure what its called now.
Nick great video as usual!
PEOPLE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT THESE VIDEOS BE SHOT DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. SURROUNDINGS CAN BE MUCH WORSE AT....NIGHT AND ON THE WEEKENDS.
Watched right through and didn't see _even one_ piece of abandoned furniture left on a curb.
Oh you get that here all the time. he just happened to be coming through in a good day.
I would love to see you revisit some states because I want to learn all I can and I enjoy your delivery and no nonsense take. I’m Currently a med student looking to relocate after graduating and I love the amount of research and time you put into your videos. I think I’ll definitely need to hire you for when I am ready for my move here in the next couple of years, if you’re still offering that service.
Always Alex! Email me!
Ironically, this so-called worst area, is only a couple miles from ou medical school and huge hospitals, trauma center, Children's, & medical research companies.
ouhsc/ou med is trash and a half.
I moved to OKC from NY , and I had an incident where I had to call the police . He heard my “accent” and said you’re not from here , I said no . I moved away from crime and murders and wanted a lower cost of living , he said it’s crime here too . I started laughing , I told him when does the crime start ? At night it’s so damn hot they must do it at night 🤣🤣🤣 cause no ones hardly outside . You don’t see ppl on any corners harassing you , you don’t see ppl shooting at each other , I told the police officer , just be glad you don’t have to bodybag ppl every week . You don’t know crime sir , I’m sorry .
Not one word spoken saying which neighborhoods are the worst. I wish you would have said.
I think you drove through Mr. Rogers Neighborhood!!!
Keep up the too amazing videos
Where is the narration? Exactly what part of OKC is this?
It was mostly the north and northeast sections of the city. The large gray cathedral is a Presbyterian church complex with gorgeous stained glass windows and an old cemetery. He then drove through the heart of our historic Paseo Arts District with most of the original Craftsman bungalows still there.
There really isnt much by way of widespread dilapidated buildings because of urban renewal and strict code enforcement. Granted there are pockets of run down neighborhoods here and there, and a large homeless population along the I40 corridor, but mostly you'll find hard working folk who take pride in their surroundings.
This was filmed in the winter so you didnt get to see just how green Oklahoma City really can be. Most of the tree damage that I saw in this video appears to be from the ice storms that we've been having the last few winters.
I encourage everyone to come and visit Oklahoma City and see for yourself. We aren't as flashy as larger cities and the night life is a bit sleepy, but you'll find lots of museums and art galleries, a world class zoo, and some of the warmest, friendliest people that you could ever hope to meet! Much love from Oklahoma!
P.S. no, I dont work for the tourism dept or a P.R. firm, just a proud citizen of central Oklahoma for 44 years.
@ Karin O'Shea, thank you! My Sister and her family has lived in OKC for over 30 years and I've been there to visit more times than I can count. I didn't recognize anything in this video. Thanks again! Kj Hopkins 🙂
@@kevinhopkins1400 you are very welcome! I didn't recognize the first part, but as soon as he drove by the cathedral it all clicked!
Anyone noticed the two faces in the clouds at 6.16 to 6.40?
I honestly feel like Nick was LK giving OKC an underhanded compliment with this one. I’d run with it!
Yep, trying to show a "good" conservative town. Notice that there are no smartass flippant comments like most of his vids have.
Yes a lot of crime that gets reported happened in these neighborhoods.
You though did not even go near the bad neighborhoods.
Happy Sunday Nick!!!
Damn I drive through this area often didn't know it was the hood lol, but I'm from Baltimore City big difference.
Are you not from okc? Because i live in okc and you being on the northeast side is not the worst neighborhood
Seriously this guy didn't even drive over by ne 4th and lottie aremaven valley brook what about down on se 15th between I 35 and central... and those aren't terrible hell the Plaza motel on I 35 is probably the deadliest place in town unless you count the oklahoma county jailhouse
The worst part of OKC is after a tornado hits
"OKC worst" looks like "Detroit best"
That's because he's not really showing OKC worst, he's just showing OKC oldest
Come to the wicked West.. I'm from OKC all my life.. bro let me take you on a tour 😜
It helps if you listen to the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack while watching otherwise uneventful.
Brah he's just driving down E23rd. And then drove in circles around classen by the Asian district, which has been built up for tourism. These are just working folks and a handful of hipsters.
Also that ain't the north side bro.
Yeah he's showing the gentrified areas that are going up upwards towards California's rent for all the white collar transplants moving out here. I live right around that area and that is definitely not the worst area if anything the rent is going way up and the demographics are getting more upper class.
They had a very bad ice storm not long ago and that explains the abundance of trees that need a lot of work . Most of those houses you drive by are in older neighborhoods but I bet they’re up double digits in the last year . I didn’t see anything terrifying .
Compared to the SE side of Fort Wayne or west side of Anderson (both cities in Indiana), this looks fairly tame. The east side of Indy (and near west side Haughville) is even worse.
