Back in the 1950s all the way though the early 1980’s cherry hill was built right beside a large land fill. All of Baltimore city trash was taken to this landfill. Cherry hill was originally a area designated as an area for all of the inner city African Americans and African American world war 2 veterans to go and buy post -war houses .In the 1960’s the government decided to build public housing in this same are by the land fill. A large majority of the older neighborhoods in cherry hill were clean and beautiful. My grand parents have a house on terra-firma road and I can remember how clean and beautiful the neighborhood was in general. The Reagan era was especially hard on this community,on top of drug abuse lack of jobs, crime, and economic disparity. Such a shame…
Westport born and raised......2336 Nevada st to be exact....i remember that bridge and that corner store at the 2:06 mark......had to cross that bridge to catch the bus into the city.....i see since 98 when I left nothing has changed....
My old stomping grounds. Projects are designed to keep people disempowered, without opportunities, and hope. Not hopeless but unhopeful is what Cornel West would say.
I miss Jack's. My family was one of the last wights families to live in Westport. From the 1920's- 2000's. On sadly st. John, Leo, dalian, and Leo Sri. I remember being a kid playing on the tracks. And fishing big carp under monroe st bridge
God bless you always and u just drove past the street l live on. Fisk Road and the green candy bus and our rental office here in CHERRY HILL homes community.
Hats the exact way I drove into cherry hill every time when I was an addict years ago. Ya know I may be lucky but as a white boy I never had any issues mostly people were nice course they knew I was there for drugs but really most people were cool
Westport projects is demolished you are riding into Mount Winas Projects. I know I lived there on Kent Street in the 60’s & went to 225 Elementary school
Suburban projects are the worst. Even fewer opportunities, services and resources than urban ones. Westport, Cherry Hill and Brooklyn are all rough af neighbourhoods and projects.
@@hc2155 hell yeah rs, cherry hill don’t even got a real grocery store. The biggest store there is a fucking dollar store smh. And then also those hoods, especially Westport and CH are isolated af
@@asherkaye4891 All the downtown projects get more people travelling in to buy drugs so have more crime but they have a lot more opportunities, resources and services because they're so much closer to down town. I'd prefer to live in McCulloh, Perkins etc. than Cherry Hill, Westport or Brooklyn tbh.
@@hc2155 hell yeah that’s true. But it’s pros and cons to both. I grew up around mcCulloh and Bruce Manor and now I work down CH and what I noticed is cherry hill got a stronger spirit of community. That’s why I like it down there actually.
Whats up with that dude @0:27 who was standing in the street. Looked like he was ready to walk in front of the driver to get them to stop while the other guy on the sidewalk looked like he was calling the shots. Whats up with that???
Love wspt everywhere you go is a project we people with bills jobs cars like everybody else do not judge where someone live long as they happy and blessed oh well you just went by my house god is good to me in wspt and future living amen wspt ate townhomes not projects this is not latrobes or Perkins ok get it rite
People can get out of the projects, no one is concocting this evil plan to keep blacks stuck in the project. U gotta use your fucking brain for something other than a hat rack. A little hard work and motivation will go a long way. Only thing that keeps y'all stucknin projects is the mindset that it's someone else's fault.

Reagan and the government flooded the black community with crack and guns and actively pushed gang activity

The houses where I lived have been demolished. Norfolk Street. The fence that separated us from the paint company was called the bowwow.
Big stankin Lincoln swerving
My uncle lived behind the fire station for years.

Which one would you suggest in 2023??
I’ve live in Westport back in the day the part that was tore down it was treacherous back then
This is sooooo sad.
Had to drive through here to get to the hospital (Harbor) to have my kids. The roads are awful.
I don’t see many pedestrians, where are they all?
In the house or at work minding their business.
Cherry hill a interesting neighborhood it’s lowkey urban and suburban at the same time
@Mick Le Mickless it’s hard to explain it mean like “ slightly” I guess or like “on the low”
