They didn't build ghettos and ask people to come lol, all cities were mostly beautifull at first until the industry that made it thrive became obsolete, the ghettos were always for lower income (and hard working) factory workers, but not Section-8 gangbanging projects they would later become

Yes R3 you're relative is probably 😢 sad about much of Waterbury CT how nice 👍 things must have been thanks for your support comment 😋🌹 very disappointing. To say the least.

Willow st,has and had beautiful homes,

Back in the 1940's-1950's that area used to be the upper class area. You can still see some of the houses now days along Woodlawn Terrace.

It was yes

Sorry Noel first experience sorry

Unfortunately that's a big problem since so many Puerto Ricans have moved there since the 1950s.

@@rascal211 I Don't think so.1950s most puerto Rican come to New York Chicago and Pennsylvania and New Jersey..

​Connecticut has a big Puerto Rican population. In my city there's a whole section where all types of Spanish people live. Shit we even had the Mexican cartel out here in New Haven. Shit MS13, latin kings. In Hartford they had the los solidos. They even got a documentary it was on gangland it on KZfaq.​@@snipersquat4758

Yeah, these days the Democrats are not looking out for communities

@@ctdriver9658when have they ever? Then everyone wonders why all the young people are fleeing CT.

Yep pretty much

In the sixties, Waterbury was named, "the brass center of the world", headed by Anaconda Brass, just south of Willow Street, on Meadow. My friends, and I, were allowed to walk downtown, to visit Howland Hughes coffee shop, at the age of 7. That's where the book, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", was based. (He called it Walgreens, at One-East Main, but that building did not have a lower level, elevator, coffee shop, or phone booths.)

Just like any factory city in CT the factories close and the neighborhoods suffer because all the people that worked at the factory live near by. Then people find other means of survival. Some of these factories that closed almost 100 years ago still stand. My great grandmother worked at the Winchester factory on Winchester ave it still stands. They turned half of it into luxury apartments but before that it was just there.

Yes, they closed down manufacturing, and that's really what Waterbury was known for. I grew up on Chapman, off the top of Willow (Cracker Hill), and went to St Margaret's, and then Sacred Heart. I left for Texas when I was 17.

I worked at Grove Manor back then. Always saw Sissy doing the lean and fall against the wall across the street. All hours of the day/night. Everyone knew Sissy.

Omg same here 😂🤣 says she was rushing for work 😩😑

Your dealer, so you're a dope head.

Steve???...🤣🤣🤣

@@Karen-oh9yi nah Fred

I agree

Na that shit weak as fuck mad grease for what

The joint on north main st in the plaza is better

The titles intended to get more views, unfortunately it's only certain buzz words that bring in the views "Worst, Insane, Crazy" the mindless driving around using up gas while showing the environment conditions has to pay itself somehow. Views, clicks, ads, and donations.

Terrible city full of drunks, junkies, hoodlums, and bad cops! It deserves all the slander it gets!

It's a shit hole. I lived there for years. The best place is Town Plot or Bucks Hill. All the far outskirts. The rest from Scott Rd to Willow and all in between. There's been more murders and shooting then ever now. I live in New Haven and I can tell you this, waterbury is like a lil Detroit. We have more shootings where I live, but also nice sections. Waterbury is just ugly, and the sun never shines even when it does. Depressing AF. I worked mr happys as a bouncer in 2004. The police are underfunded there. 20 years ago I caught 2 cases. Cops elverywhere. I don't even see them whenever I go thru now. They got me rght off Willow St in his video on Chestnut at Brick City. Don't move there if you read this. Rents cheap for a reason.

Ok sure

@@R32R38 I was there that day, it was awful...

I know a few people who saw people get stabbed and mugged on that street. No good!

I was out their at that time and am from the bronx used to hussle across the street from that building in the park facts had some good times out their

And they still pumping by the building in 2021 lol

I was moving pounds around hillside like 10 years ago doing like half a pound a day of reggie 🤣🤣

I use to "clock" JUMS on Walnut, where Waterbury was introduced to crack back in 86.

@@followthespider1309 that was before my time lol wish I was a mid 80s kid

So did America.

Unfortunately it’s a ghetto of drugs, prostitution, & violence!

Now it’s a ghetto A pretty bad one

Town Plot is still nice.

Grew up in tp

It's even worse now, someone standing outside of la tavola on highland avenue was just jumped out of nowhere not too long ago. Town plot isn't even what it used to be anymore

Yes you can say that

@@ctdriver9658 What Other Parts of Waterbury is High Crime Areas????

😂😂😂😂😂!!!!

😂😂😂😂

Yikes gross

Yeah Guggi's across the street

Waterbury sucks but Bridgeport ,New Haven, Hartford are worse. Democrat politicians ruined every big city in Connecticut and now they are working on the smaller towns. FJB and any person that voted for him.

@@thomasryan8218 I seem to remember the 2 mayors of Waterbury that were arrested for corruption were both Republican. One of them was also molesting children in his office. Giordano was so bad the state had to take over the city.

Exactly. Willow ain’t shit. Worst parts are the streets behind hill street. The streets behind Pickett drug store. Burton. Pearl. Elizabeth. It’s open air drug sales over there. Cops dont even go there

Dem run cities turn to shitholes REAL quick.

We have the nice benefits of union and social programs but we pay too much for too little in this state. It’s not worth it. I don’t blame the young people for leaving

Actually, Willow St. was always bad. It is adjacent to an area of fabulous big old mansions. There are beautiful sections of Waterbury also.

Only outside of cities. The cities are trash. Sorry, I’m from Waterbury

@@nickamato7553 Not all of the cities are trash. Stamford is actually a really nice city.

I agree with you I been in Waterbury for almost 4 years. Yes they are some ugly place poorly maintained but yet they are some nice areas too. I personally blame the mayor, police and those folks that come from NY. My husband told Waterbury isnt want it use to be.

Every city have a bad area I like Waterbury I’m n the other side no complaints

There is no good in Waterbury!

So you tell me what street you think is the worst

Waterbury is no worse than Watertown... 🤣🤣 never heard that one before! thanks! 😂😂

yayyy you're delustional bud I've never seen worse drivers and worse schools anywhere else in the state....also half the neighborhoods here look like they're recovering from a war

@@mike_AD The point is no one is better than anyone else. Crime in Watertown going up so again, it is what you make of it and if you don't like a place, stay the fuck away. It ain't hard.

@@jensonbigby5733 It's a city, most have shitty drivers and rural has drunk drivers. There is crime everywhere and again common sense if you don't like a place stay the fuck away.

@@starkravingralph oh i do. trust me, moved out and not looking back at sodom and gomorrah !

Because there’s multiple bad streets in Waterbury, and that is one of them

I lived on Scott Road back in fall 1948 to spring 1949. I don't think Waterbury was so crime laden back then.

@@barbaraedgley2634 well that must’ve been nice but then I have recent videos of Scott Road and surrounding areas if you’d like to check them out

@@ctdriver9658 yes!

​@@ctdriver9658Scott road is not bad at all it one of the decent places you could live in Waterbury, I live there a few years back now I live on Newman Avenue

It might not be the worst, but it is one of the worst streets in Waterbury thanks for watching.

@@ctdriver9658 oh yeah for sure. In 2015 I was a drug addict and it was one of the worst in the city then cops starting doing raids on all the drug houses like crazy and it was way worse then. Its still top 10 for sure. Like I said back then it was the 1at or 2nd worst area

@@ctdriver9658 there was a cop murdered shot in the face on that street in the 90s
