This dude busting through all kinds of red lights, almost like he’s a regular Boston driver.

So this is a hood? My god, Boston architecture is beautiful.

The rest of America needs to take notes If you are smart and don't destroy your neighborhoods you can have a beautiful city like this. My favorite city by far.

Ex-hoods Part II. If anything Boston should be titled as the gentrification capital of the USA.

Just 1 block on the left at 0:43 Is the Twelfth Baptist Church where Martin Luther King was assistant Minister while pursuing doctoral studies in theology at Boston University.

One thing about Boston, it is kept clean. Big difference when you go to NYC or Philly. Philly has to be the dirtiest city in the world.

That wasn't Boston hoods he showed Roxbury in both videos. Honestly it was only a 2 mile radius. He really just drove in Circles.

These hoods in Boston look better than burbs in Philly

Even the dumpiest house shown in this video would cost $2500. a month in rent for a 300 sq ft 1 bedroom. Love your vids.

People also should know that most times there are three families living in the triple deckers. One on each floor. Not one family unit for the whole house

Ya saying it ain't Hood but I can tell it's being gentrified .. most of these are probably new townhomes or reconstructed projects

The hoods in Boston look pretty pretty decent< Nice row houses and classic vintage architecture. Neighborhoods look clean and well-maintained. Boston must be doing something right.

Except for the last area around Morton Street and Blue Hill Avenue, these neighborhoods appear to be gentrifying fast.

My favorite city! Thanks for posting!

BOSTON = TOO MANY ONE WAYS! Your work is appreciated, CharlieBo313!

Cracked pavement, lots of chain fences... Definitely the hood. Don't let the oldschool charm fool you.

Being from Boston..I could tell you was getting alil lost..plus Boston sucks in the winter..it's best to come in the summer, you was actually near the Orchard Park projects where New Edition was from but they have been torn down and rebuilt but still rachett or could have kept up Blue Hill avenue and went to the Franklin Field Projects. Video still was on point and had me HOMESICK..GOOD JOB.

Dudley St looks so pretty these days.Wish we had a comparison video from the 80s- 90s.What you are witnessing is a GENTRIFICATION tour.

There used to be hoods here in mattapan and Roxbury but good old gentrification making harder for people to even live here🤦🏽🤦🏽

Your videos are sooo interesting!! The USA has always fascinated me :) greetings from France!

Boston hoods The summer time is when you should return

None of the footage of Boston was considered the "Hood", but some of the areas are rough with all of the houses being cluttered together along with the narrow streets. The gentrification is on heavy throughout Boston especially in the Dorchester and Roxbury areas with all them condominiums popping up. Also the footage in the beginning of the video was definitely not the hood which is an area next to Brookline "Jewish-Town" and Jamaica Plaine. There are nothing but university students, medical/researchers (PHD) and working class people in that area in the beginning. Good vids.

This part 2 u covered some hotspots unlike part 1 lol. U dam near went to my street 😂 Much luv ur way! Peace.

I wished my neighborhood looked this nice. I cant stand Liberty City

Thanks for finally doing Boston. Too bad you didn't make it to Chelsea (predominantly Latino) which is crazy hood and the next city over. In the nicer weather you'd get a better feel for the city too but we can't have it all. I'm thankful you made it to Bean

4:08 This is Dudley street, a huge artery in Roxbury and where the old Orchard park projects used to be. My dad told me stories about how it used to look in the late 80s and 90s and how he got shot at there. It is definitely cleaned up now. Even when I was in high school I would go there everyday and there were vacant lots. I grew up in near by Dorchester, near that rent a center you went by. Thanks for the video!

Looking forward to more spring /summer Charlie vids. Much more interesting when the humans come out of winter hibernation.

Coming from a person thats from Boston’s inner city and is currently living here i can tell you yes these neighborhoods look nice. But thats cause of gentrification, these town homes and nice houses you see were once rundown homes , abandoned houses , foreclosures , empty lots. That have been filled to make the city appear nice. Housing projects are being tore down to make these town homes. Rent is basically unaffordable so people moving out the city. Crime gone down in some parts. Risen in the suburbs like , fall river , newbedford , tauton , brockton. But do not get it twisted, looks are deceiving violence still reigns supreme . 5:15 you see that light pole on the right . It has shot spotter technology to pin point location in event of a shooting. (Look it up) we have these all over . My city aint what it was but dont come here thinking shits sweet cause it aint. Its sad to see this happening to my city so make your millions and invest in yalls neighborhoods dont let the white folk run yall out. SIDENOTE we still the city of CHAMPS 🏆 fuck what yall talkin bout 😂😂

Don't leave out Mattapan. You're just going around Blue Hill Ave.

I’m from Philly, my folks stay on Wellington Hill and Blue Hill, they say that’s the hood but i never feel like I’m in the hood.

Bostonian here, come back in the summer and do a night time edition, drive around enough you'll see people get robbed or you yourself will get robbed for your car

You show what society tries to cover up. such raw videos, I won't be the one to change the despair these neighborhoods bring, but I hope everyone gets out of that rut feeling.

Nice drive, thanks for giving us a break from the decaying areas.

Should do Springfield, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island

Nice tour Charlie, looks like gentrification comin on strong tho

That last car........" Who is this fool following me? Let me pull into this driveway and see what he does. "

did you pick up a souvenir celebratory "Charlie Card" while in the "dirty ol' bean"? fares are increasing very soon and some thing tells me those cards are gonna be like a sacrement to travel the inner state transit systems when ⛽ prices increase again aswell.

Remember everybody comes from a hood but everybodys hood anit a ghetto

Thank you for the tour. Its nostalgic to see. I never thought I'd see the landscape change. I miss the culture that was present for so many years, and now its ALL changing. Even the old folks I know with strong family ties are packing it up. I hold on to the stories they told. Cuz thats all thats left...

This my Hood. Wonder if u knew, at 6:46 brick building on Columbia Rd with those fire escape ladders is the building of one of the "Boston Strangler" victims. Her name was Jane Sullivan 435 Columbia Rd if u Google u can see same building back then. Oh, i was 🤣 when gps said "u r going wrong way down the street." ✌🏾

For Boston this looks very hood!.. Good work Charlie!... Casinos have a way of turning neighborhoods ghetto so maybe in a few years these places will be more hood thanks to that new casino?

Yeah you right near Grove Hall and Roxbury and I remember BluE Hill Ave and Dudley street i had a friend that lived near there

I like brick houses. They are probably about 100 years old and highly valued.

Do Brockton, MA, or Lawrence Massachusetts, those are the worst hoods in Massachusetts for sure. If you wanted to Randolph MA or Worcester?

Why don’t you come to Coney Island? You was in nyc

Boston is significantly safer than what it once was. Gentrification at its finest.

The driver drove threw warren st in Roxbury. Then he drove by them new town houses in Roxbury. He drove threw Dudley st. He drove by Uphams corner.

Do (South Side) Providence, Rhode Island next

You got definitely one more Subscriber 😊 Just saw one of your Videos today first time Pretty interesting ! Thank you for uploading

Lived in Lower Mills for years. Had a nice mix of working class blacks and whites. Never had any problems.

Everywhere looks like shit this time of year in New England 😂

10:47 one of the best food places known to man. They make the best sandwiches

I live in Dorchester now and recently BOSTON has had a lot of young women go missing and killed.

Thanks for visiting my Hood Charlie but you should of stayed on Blue Hill from the start. That is the root of the tree.

I didn't know Boston had any hoods Looks too good to be a hood

Its very interesting about Boston City👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Greetings and many blessings to you have a safe journey , me and my family stopped by and subbed to your channel we love it, thanks for sharing🙏🏿

I wish you could have did a interview

Could you zoom in on the street names or add them to your videos. I was born and raised in Roxbury, but haven't lived there in 20+ years. I love the videos, but don't know or remember some of the streets. Not to mention that there's a ton of new buildings.

How’s the Dorchester area, pretty rough or tame?

Coming from Miami this neighborhood is made so different i don't think I'll feel the same its a different world

Go to Brockton, Ma, Lawrence Ma, New Bedford as well, especially during the summer time. Honestly think some of those towns are worse than most neighborhoods in Boston.

Been living here all my life. And you are specifically in my neck of the woods 13:00. Live right off Norfolk. Quiet like it’s the suburbs now. Ppl be outside chillin but stuff don’t happen anymore. Y’all need to really stop acting like things happen here left and right, not even cool to be proud murders happen constantly. Specially frauding like it’s Chicago & NYC Type of murders, everyday lifestyle shit 😒

Not really a bad area of Boston, not anymore at least.

Go to Lynn MA please. But in general streets don't turn into a jungle till summer too brick out

Don't be fooled by the gentrification Boston look. It didnt always look like THIS

Compared to NY. NJ, Philly, LA, Chi-town, Detroit, Boston is not "hood" per say. There are some spots along Blue Hill Ave, Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury that could be considered rougher areas. Overall, I felt pretty safe out there. I'm from Newark, NJ and when I saw these hoods, I was like this doesn't seem a like a hood to me. I lived in MA for 12 years. Springfield, Lynn, and Lawrence have some rough spots as well. It's a whole different vibe up there.

The architecture looks to good to actually be a dangerous neighbourhood

You should go to Brockton Massachusetts or New Bedford that’s the real hood in Massachusetts

Omh once i seen that rt turn and passing rent a center...brought back memories. I use to get spanish food accross the st from rent a center.....i miss that spot.

Home sweet home! :)

Charlie, do you think Boston has dirty hoods? I remember you said Nashville has hoods that don’t look bad.

HI CHARLIE! ... yep, I have relatives there too. Its like riding through a tummel.

This is definitely not a Boston Massacre.

Great vid. Good-looking city. Thanx CharlieBo313.

CHARLIE I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I'M FROM BOSTON, SOUTH END LIVING IN ROCHESTER N.Y CAN YOU DO VIDEOS SHOWING THE SOUTH END

Wow this reminds me of my school bus route!! Those were the days and I do miss those stone throw days!!😢😢

Thats whats up my hood proud to be from the area!! Is this all you do? Do you just drive or take plane and go from there

Should've done this 30 years years ago it's too gentrified now

I don’t think Boston has hoods anymore lol

I always wanted to go to Boston

Man this the cleanest ghetto I’ve ever seen!

boston is fine,nice city really decent!!! btw did you change camra charlie :)

What up Charlie! What do u think of Boston so far?

I still don't see any tent cities, boarded up Windows , trash or people sleeping on sidewalks. Damn, this city looks affluent.

I just discovered a Boston hoods video, I didn’t even know Charli had went there yet

What kind of camera do you use?

Have a great week CharlieBo

Aren't those triple decker apartments the living end!!! Triple deckers ARE BOSTON!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Should've continued onto Bowdoin.

Amazing how it's always the beautiful red brick historic neighborhoods

One thing I like about Boston is that it is a safe city to live in. This is a mickey mouse hood compared to other cities.

Say, I just checked out the rent on a one-bedroom/one-bath apartment in a rather shabby building in Roxbury, and it costs $1,750 per month. Didn't say anything about what utilities are covered in the rent, but 5 will getcha 10 none are covered. I must say, though, that the apartment allows cats, and that's a highly unusual asset in MA apartments - most of them have a NO PETS policy! 🤔

That’s only a section. Driving right by some very important areas. Hitting more of Bluehill Ave would have covered so much more. Passed right by Eggleston station. 😳

It's funny cause these "hood" houses are probably really expensive lmao

If u gonna be in bean town during the winter you should start recording after 3pm.wen the schools let out n people start gettin off ov work,.I can tell it was early,u mainly was in Roxbury.Come down to Mattapan bka Murderpan n Dorchester in the summa, especially during carnival,by the way u didn't swing threw n e ov the projects

I just realized that (outside of Guru) Boston has never produced a main stream Hip Hop artist that I'm aware of. Of all the cities (outside of New York), I would think that Philly (which actually has) and Boston would be the leading contributors to Hip Hop culture.

It kinda reminds me of South Jamaica Queens.

Boston got some beautiful hoods, Y’all want to see the real hood type in Louisiana hoods specifically Baton Rouge Lafayette and new Orleans.

Gotta hit brockton.. mattapan..Springfield Worcester .Fitchburg. Lawrence.
