To be fair it's all bad in Ohio. Ohio is one wrecked state. Akron (though that's getting better now?), Youngstown, Dayton, Mansfield, Toledo, and of course Cleveland and Cinci's no picnic either.
I'm 15, lived in Toledo all my life. This mf city is crazy. You look at Detroit and we call it Big Toledo and they call Toledo "Little Detroit". I live in the south side and shit gets crazy as hell. Some dude was shot at the convenience store a couple years ago on Christmas eve. Shits crazy man
PorterGuitarz bro im from the west side projects my dad had a house and as soon as he started getting it done a teenage girl was shot in the allyway next to my house
Hussien Loser reading this now i didnt know what i was talking abt but my dad had a house on the east side in the hood but the story abt the girl was true but my dad passed away june 15 in 14 btw
It's not the worst city. I was born and lived in Gary Indiana until I was 13 years old before moving to Toledo. If people really wanna see what a Ghost Town looks like, take a drive threw G.I. BUT with that being said. I most defiantly don't see myself living in Toledo for the rest of my life. People say a city is only as bad as you make it. If someone feels like they don't like it here, they should move. For those who like it...more power to them to stick around.
@ÈÝ awakening - I live in East Toledo. Crime may not be the best here but Toledo is still booming more than Gary. Gary is a real ghost town. There’s nothing there! Barely no jobs, no businesses, NOTHING. Toledo is still more lively than Gary. Gary is a true ghost town. And I don’t say that with pride either. It’s truly sad what it has become. Smh 🤦🏾♀️ If Gary was to ever get on the map again , I would definitely move back. I loved my hometown.
@ÈÝ awakening - Yes I have, it’s been a white though! And yeah I remember my mom drove us to see it once when I was a young girl. That was before he died and they redone the building and all that though. My parents actually went to school with some of the Jacksons. I always thoughts that was cool. Lol Are you from Toledo originally?
Yep. I can remember when it came to certain theaters they were handing out red and blue snot rags to kids. Then right after that it was an explosion in gang membership nationwide. Man I was just a kid but can remember like it was yesterday.
Even the burbs are bad now from what I hear. I remember being in Point Place 20+ years ago and it was beautiful, but last I saw it it looked like the same kind of train wreck.
This city is no different then Chicago or New York City. As soon as the races come together, stop sending our meager resources to the outlying areas, ie.Hollan,Maumee, and end self-defeating business practices this city will flourish! I have been here all my life. I remember the proud and affluent black neighborhoods. Poverty took our future and so as a proud Toledoan it is my responsibility to show the world the potential of this city! This city has to much history to throw it away so haphazardly. I call to ALL PROUD TOLEDOANS to put out the word. When you travel abroad make to tell all that this city has enormous potential and energy. "YOU CAN DO BETTER IN TOLEDO" use to be one of our mottos....now it is so and spread the word!
This is a cycle that was going on before my generation and will continue after rest n peace too all that has fallen victim to the streets of toledo ohio
AKA DA AKA yeah L.A. is the second biggest city in the country and everybody knows L.A. ain’t a joke, but Toledo is only 230,000 ppl. Most people never heard of it. So in comparison 40 gangs don’t seem like a lot, but Toledo ain’t sweet if you’re in the wrong area.
I grew up on fielding avenue near all of the crip groups and they raised me basically and I'm in JROTC and advanced placement classes... So gangs aren't always so bad.
I'll always love Toledo. It's a shitty city, but when you've lived there for basically your entire life you can't help but stick up for it. Driving from Toledo to Oregon to even the suburban parts of Point Place is a fucking nightmare, though.
Get rid of the Democratic Party in city hall and elect either moderate republicans or independents and than cities like Toledo will finally start turning around.
look at my lil cuzzo "Kidd" smh but she IS doin betta now though Thank God. I'm from the T born & raised. I'm older and it wasn't bad back in my day. No where near how it is now but it's not as bad as it's being portrayed but it really needs change bad and that means people (these young ones especially) need to STOP THE DUMB SHIT, GET AN EDUCATION AND BREAK THE CHAIN OF VIOLENCE. THESE STREETS WILL ONLY GET EM PUT IN 2 PLACES & WE ALL KNOW WHERE. DAMN SHAME. I PRAY FOR MY CITY EVERYDAY
Please stop the gangs here in toledo its aweful and stop the prostitution people can't even walk down the street here because and a old person im scared I lived here for 20 years and I can't even walk to the store its not safe im scared to get hurt
very,very good documental making myself very sad and pray for the childrens are in gan they need learn find god and ther be differents and the family of then be more happy in their lifes I pray very hard for this childrens fine the way,god helping then I m very sure
Yeah notice on all these videos of toledo it's either north south or west but never ever ever ever the east. Know why. Cause the east side is always been the most brutal. Gotta keep that hush hush doe right. Ya.
jontae mosby Who knows anymore. Anywhere in america where minorities live have been devastated by racist government and cops. Its the same anywhere anymore now.
People stop dreaming and let down the extra drama and pointing fingers people are losing their babies to colors, really simple colors we learn in elementary that's such non sense. Its not reality for people until its one of their own. Toledo need to get rec centers and such opened for those young people who are trying to stay out of the way. And they wonder why people are moving faster than the jet express to get out of here. Our sons and now daughters are being buried like trees.
What ??? Are you saying you came to live here in the 90s cause of the blacks? Cause sure is what your sentence sounds like lmao. I really hope you not trying to say toledo is bad cause of the blacks. Cause we all bleed red and it isn't just one color period never has been.
Umm. Ive been back in Chicago for four years and havnt even been pulled over.... So try again... I even know the police cause I am in the church band.... My only crime was being latino and havin an outta state drivers license... Its called profiling and stereotyping.. Look it up
Highland Heights is a bad area in Toledo also HighlandPark b super crazy & u gotta watch out 4 everybody over there Black White Mexican Asians & Jews real talk & Dont let the nice houses trick u its Ghetto Not Suburban
Highland park isn't bad lol. I lived over here all my life went to bowsher hs and it is all about just not being dumb and using your sense most the time. Yes things happen outside of that but usually if you stay out of the mix and don't go looking for issues it's always been chill over here.
just pointing out the gangs is not helping what is the end result message its not all that bad here in toledo there are alot of positive things going on such as my music video (BE SOMEBODY FT TRACY) which was created just for these reasons to ask the youth that question DONT YOU WANT TO BE SOMEBODY? be sure to check out the video share/comment/like/rate #BESOMEBODY
I'm from the Detroit, Thus the "313" and I've been there, that lil city IS crazy.

To be fair it's all bad in Ohio. Ohio is one wrecked state. Akron (though that's getting better now?), Youngstown, Dayton, Mansfield, Toledo, and of course Cleveland and Cinci's no picnic either.

You're right

Northwest Ohio, 62 miles from Detroit, and 110 North of Akron Glass city facts.
Jesus isnt a Fairytale. Just give him a try man. No matter how deep it is Jesus is deeper
What is a 2000+ year old dead man going to do for us? Get real bunk!
@@r.pres.4121 he already died for us. We live for him.
Im from about an hour from Toledo and I never knew it was THAT bad
Even the burbs are bad now from what I hear. I remember being in Point Place 20+ years ago and it was beautiful, but last I saw it it looked like the same kind of train wreck.
GWS point place ain’t the burbs it’s apart of the city, it’s just a nice neighborhood out the way
thank son for what you writing,i love you
Do you still sell the map, I'd given mine 2 someone

Man 40 gangs in that area..We got like 4,000 gangs in an area this L.A matter fact All of southern California 2 be exact
AKA DA AKA yeah L.A. is the second biggest city in the country and everybody knows L.A. ain’t a joke, but Toledo is only 230,000 ppl. Most people never heard of it. So in comparison 40 gangs don’t seem like a lot, but Toledo ain’t sweet if you’re in the wrong area.
This is so sad .. I saw my homeboy's grandmother on here, may she rest in peace .. SMH at the so called African American in the hoods of Toledo .....
I grew up on fielding avenue near all of the crip groups and they raised me basically and I'm in JROTC and advanced placement classes... So gangs aren't always so bad.
is it that bad out there? is its worse then philly?
its bad, but nowhere near as bad as phili. toledo was VERY rough in 2012, its calmed down since, still bad though
Justin Montgomery highest murder rate ever this year tho
The "Lost" youth must come back to the Laws,Statues and Commandments of the Most High God of the Universe...or parrish...it truly is that simple.
man toledo has went to hell since i left there in 1992
When i was born in Toledo
I'll always love Toledo. It's a shitty city, but when you've lived there for basically your entire life you can't help but stick up for it. Driving from Toledo to Oregon to even the suburban parts of Point Place is a fucking nightmare, though.
Fuck that... I love toledo.. it just needs work
Get rid of the Democratic Party in city hall and elect either moderate republicans or independents and than cities like Toledo will finally start turning around.

It time to infuse some Jesus into these youth.
Put a lid on that religious bullshit! That isn't going to accomplish a damned thing!
Very true my brother they need moral guidance and the lord because when the world strays from the word of god it becomes choas
Dying city....
Exactly like most other older northern US cities.
I was there to leave in the 90 because off the black
You should have left to go get an education. You can't even finish a sentence. We all know racists have the lowest IQs.
Looks like you left school early too
What ??? Are you saying you came to live here in the 90s cause of the blacks? Cause sure is what your sentence sounds like lmao. I really hope you not trying to say toledo is bad cause of the blacks. Cause we all bleed red and it isn't just one color period never has been.
hahahaha so fucking agree. im from this city but no one believes im from here.
This city's bad but not as bad as canton Ohio that is the hood the whole damn city is one big broke ghetto
This is sas
Umm. Ive been back in Chicago for four years and havnt even been pulled over.... So try again... I even know the police cause I am in the church band.... My only crime was being latino and havin an outta state drivers license... Its called profiling and stereotyping.. Look it up
