The government power brokers don't care a thing about Detroit or its people. If there is nothing in it for them and their friends, they just let it rot.
the power brokers of the world started transferring their wealth from the west to the east in the 70,s.......im in UK and happening here too.......they will never ever rebuild detroit or anywhere else as they have taken what they wanted and left crumbs behind.........they are spending billions on afghanastan paying the tribal leaders off with pallet loads of cash and rebuilding roads & infastructure there too........christ knows why......everyone has been played like fools.
geoffundee That's the truth. F them. F their soft fat double chins and deceitful souls. They keeping us divided so we have no power to stand up for our selves.
I use to walk to this gas station all the time when I was down there for a month in the summer. I've seen the most scariest shit go down. But overtime u meet some pretty cool and scared poeple. I've helped out a family and 2 poeple and a guy who claimed he was a blood w money and buying them food and gas bc they couldn't, they offered me sm and gave me a pocket knife which I still have. and tbh seeing wat they have to go through really hurts me bc me being 15 would've grown up doing this stuff if my mom didn't move us outta detroit. If u see some nigga asking for some money or if he needs it. Help him out bruh. They all really need it. It's a scary place but the pain they go through is rough asf.
I don't know how I stumbled across your channel but I'm glad I did. It's interesting to see other places and a side of life other than my own. Great job keep it coming. Subscribed.
Funny how so many areas are dead silent around there. Anywhere but Detroit, such scenes could only be shot at 3-5am or on a Sunday late night, but in Detroit, it's every night.
I can't believe how empty the streets are. In San Francisco, there's traffic in the streets no matter what time it is. I like watching videos of other places that I would never otherwise get to see, so your channel is interesting. Thank you for posting these videos. :-)
I've subbed, I got addicted to this channel. Couple of years back I always went on google street view to look around in those neighborhoods but I appreciate what you're doing here. I hope you stay safe.
If there's so little traffic even during business hours (let alone early morning like that), and so little business, and the city is basically bankrupt, etc., how and why do they keep everything so lit up like that? It's like an ocean of light. Huge parts of the office buildings still lit up, the streets fully lit up, even the trees lit up like Xmas trees. I mean, it's nice, but it's a bit hard to understand how they can afford to do that (and why).
Pirateparty I live outside the hood in the suburbs. it's a common occurrence to see peoples lights off around 7 or 8 p.m. because they all work 9 to 5 or are elderly. so in my case it would be weird for the lights to be on
I lived in Detroit and plan to go back. This video shows the Downtown Detroit area, including Greektown with all of its neon. Downtown is the most built up area. Anywhere within a mile of Downtown is usually okay, in any direction, but after you leave that one mile circumference, it gets very dark and very empty, Even in the daytime most of Detroit is empty. Most people left when the jobs ran out. Staying Downtown is safest. Detroit, including business owners and the Detroit Police Department, makes an effort to keep Downtown safer and well-lit because visitors come into Downtown on game days and for concerts. The rest of Detroit is very neglected.
The city is a fucking ghost town. I never knew anything like this could exist. I live in NYC and shit is packed to fucking hell 24/7. I got goosebumps from this video. Checking off Detroit from my traveling list for lifetime.
Been there late at night. And I'm a white guy. I do not carry cash on me. I've been all over downtown Detroit at night. Did not feel threatened at any time I was there.
On his own, he doesn't look that creepy, it is the music and the setting of the video that makes him appear creepy. I still wouldn't approach just in case as he seems agitated, but damn, OP, have some empathy! This dude may be homeless, or at least living in poverty and poor people are not really able to maintain their appearance and health like us rich folk. Plus, aren't you being the creepy one by filming him? He noticed you I think, and I'd be restless too if I was being recorded by some asshole.
It was between 2 and 3 am on a Sunday night which is the time when you'll find the least amount of traffic, but it generally empty for a big city downtown except on baseball game nights and other events in the summer. There has been a lot of rebuilding and improvement downtown.
It seems like charliebo stops at all the gas stations. How does he fit in here. He obviously knows how ridiculous these places are. Thanks for the videos charliebo!
In Detroit we call that the "burger banger" lol.. Thats where your a dope feen and cant aford a cheap $100 dollar pistola to protect your self.. So they put somthin in a burger king bag and pretend like they got a pistola stashed in the bag. 😂 Most feens Jus do it to protect themselves but some are dumb enough to try and rob you with there hand in a burger bag.. And that dont usually end well for them in this city!
Funny how nobody else knew he was just playing that old fear factor bullshit! He used to people being scared of his ugly ass he woulda got painted up by the wrong one
Honestly. If I was doing nothing offensive, just being respectful, and I acted like I've been around people like this before a few times, how long would it take before I was harassed? What would I be harassed for?
Your look and mannerisms is a factor towards the risk of getting tested. but as long as you're chill and keep to yourself but keep aware, you should be good
Hmmm... Seems more like a victim of living on the streets than a thug to me (drugs?). Kinda shady looking, but more "down and out" than shady maybe. He's also a smaller guy. Def. nof someone more intimidating looking, physically speaking. Skinny, small dude. Still, you never know who could be "packing"... Knives, etc. as well... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Just an ordinary bum, looking to ask someone for spare change. I see them daily, and usually the same ones who move from highway exit to highway exit. No more down on their luck than you our I, and we all know it ........
That is not Black America. This is one sector of black people and upscale black folk have nothing to do with these types of areas at all. overgeneralizing is simply wrong and uneducated.
well downtown Detroit is very pretty I watch a lot of the Shea show that I never really seen how pretty downtown was until I start watching you just saying
Feels like an intro to a movie or game at the start of the video with the empty streets and radio announcer talking.
Never seen a city that big look so empty at night.
I was gonna say the same thing but it could have been like 4am or something.
JJ Wilson I am Legend...
I holiday in London , 24 hr city crowded all the time
Thought the same when I went to Boston last summer.
Well it is Detroit... Lol
Another Tinder date stood up....Smh
lol
" I got deez cheeseburgers man"
I'm trying to remember what movie that was from?
Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood.
"Menace to society". 1993, I forgot how old that movie is....
No comment.
They some double cheeseburgers man....
Man, i wish we'd stop rebuilding Iraq and start rebuilding cities like Detroit.
lol thats like rebuilding raccoon city.

we're better off just demolishing it and leaving it to the wildlife, but then the wildlife would be invaded by these 'gangstas'
geoffundee That's the truth. F them. F their soft fat double chins and deceitful souls. They keeping us divided so we have no power to stand up for our selves.
Imagine he thought YOU were creepy lookin 😅
Especially if he knew he was being video-taped.

See Charlie, that was a missed opportunity for a hood interview, you should've asked him how he thinks the mayor of Detroit is doing, or something.
Spooby he was scared
That creepy dudevdobt giva fucks about pilotics stfu
Funny how so many areas are dead silent around there. Anywhere but Detroit, such scenes could only be shot at 3-5am or on a Sunday late night, but in Detroit, it's every night.
thought that dude was gonna pull out a couple of cheese burgers from that brown paper sack.
Count Spooky um , looks like he’s eaten a total of 3 cheese burgers in last 10 year#

It be best to lay low and keep out the way from flyin bullets.
Downtown is rather beautiful, but desolate ....

Wasn't Really Creepy. Just Living On The Streets Will Do That To You.
That dude looks like he's suffering from Progeria.
Trey You say what bluh?

He suffers from skeletonism

Lord, please take pity on Detroit. That was my hometown. It’s so sad
The guys just out his banger or strung out for crack, give him a break
He looks kinda like a Ferengi. Ask him about the Rules of Acquisition.
Best channel on You Tube!
Thanks for watching.
I will definitely 2nd that!! :)
E.T. escaped the closet
Someone call the Men in Black, Another alien got loose again.
Dude was lettn em know he's holdin trees
So what is the deal with the flashing yellow lights? Is that just a suggestion to slow down?
@2:50 I thought he was gonna say...."I got deez cheeez-burgers"
He doesn’t look very healthy. Wonder where is he now?
Charlie, what time at night was this video taken? Man that place looks like a ghost town. .
It was between 2 and 3 am on a Sunday night which is the time when you'll find the least amount of traffic, but it generally empty for a big city downtown except on baseball game nights and other events in the summer. There has been a lot of rebuilding and improvement downtown.
That nigga's ears so big he can detect slight vibrations all the way from Mars
Finally, I'm ok with being a hillbilly from Kentucky
2:48 "I got deez cheese burgers man"
It seems like charliebo stops at all the gas stations. How does he fit in here. He obviously knows how ridiculous these places are. Thanks for the videos charliebo!
Thats the gas station hype man. Thats the punchline, hes literally the hype man.
Is that the Valero on 7 mile and Chalmers?
+CharlieBo313 Can i please use this video i will credit you sir. if that's ok with you .

Creepy man invented the crack pipe
that mans been running of newport shorts scraps from burger king and crack fumes for years
Detroit downtown seems to be very beautiful,but never seen a huge city like that so empty at night...
I thought he was wearing a blonde wig at first.
I'm from n.y and seeing a empty city like that is strange. The party is just getting started for us new Yorkers at 4am!
fuck trump
How bad it gotta be where u just standing in front of a gas station
Well, at least downtown looks nice but more empty than northern Wisconsin
That's why I still live in northern wisconsin, I look at places like chicago, newyork, majority of the big cities as complete shitholes.
The city of Detroit gives me the creeps.
Honestly. If I was doing nothing offensive, just being respectful, and I acted like I've been around people like this before a few times, how long would it take before I was harassed? What would I be harassed for?
Uriah Graves with 40 seconds and you would be harassed for your manhood
***** what would manhood have to do with the situation? I'm confused there.
Uriah Graves you'll find out
I think they would test you immediately.
Your look and mannerisms is a factor towards the risk of getting tested. but as long as you're chill and keep to yourself but keep aware, you should be good
Ghost town totally. The guy is kinda sad.
@ 2:17 I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO EDDIE GRIFFEN.
One Way 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That guy was bugging out. He was on them 5 dollar rocks
What's he holding?
where's all the People any people anywhere. not even one homeless fella to be seen. creepy
Looks a bit like Pyongyang, North Korea.
At 1:30, the fire alarm is going off on the building to your left Charlie.
Hmmm... Seems more like a victim of living on the streets than a thug to me (drugs?). Kinda shady looking, but more "down and out" than shady maybe. He's also a smaller guy. Def. nof someone more intimidating looking, physically speaking. Skinny, small dude. Still, you never know who could be "packing"... Knives, etc. as well... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
not creepy just downNout poor people its sad
that's the mayor.
He looks like Smokey from the PJ'S
3:02 What's that? I had to check my food purse?
Wow what a beautiful place
Looks almost identical to downtown la
where's everybody? damn this is like when it's holidays and all the transplants/Gentrification visit home..
Make some Houston videos
Detroit would good place to film a movie nobody around at night except at the gas stations.
Hopsin has been hitting the crack pipe way to hard lately
Way creepy.
He might have had a weapon in that bag.
Good call on not getting out of your ride.
He was being aggressive with that stare.
Let go by Ark Patrol Plays
That’s that guy from the P.J.’s! SMOKEY!
He was probably pretending he had a gun.
He looks so odd, an escapee from Area 51 perhaps....
That's the largest du-rag I've ever seen!
Looks like a bigger downtown Buffalo ny and a smaller much more dead downtown Chicago
Needs some scary background music...
Just an ordinary bum, looking to ask someone for spare change. I see them daily, and usually the same ones who move from highway exit to highway exit. No more down on their luck than you our I, and we all know it ........
great video
You ever see the Fur covered winged man
I wonder what was in that bag. Doubt it was food..
Damn near looks like a ghost town.
Was he offering cheeseburgers for the rock? =P
Black America.....wow how nice
That is not Black America. This is one sector of black people and upscale black folk have nothing to do with these types of areas at all. overgeneralizing is simply wrong and uneducated.
Troll
Id probably just drive off lol
yup, creepy AF
well downtown Detroit is very pretty I watch a lot of the Shea show that I never really seen how pretty downtown was until I start watching you just saying
Your definition of "man" though.
