This is my home bro! That whole area is filled with fellow guatemalans, Dominicans, Puerto ricans and cambodians! Most of these stores you see in the video are well known here quite obviously and I'll point out a few new details about them! 1. At 1:39 you can see this yellow sign sayin something bout seafood or sumn, yeah now that's turning into a market! Theres a sad story behind It tho, a Cambodian man who used to be a landlord and business owner went bankrup. there, he used to have a small restaurant (now replaced by the market) and went well..like I said, bankrupt, he lost all his houses and lost that restaurant, forever to be forgotten by many :( . 2. At 2:31 you can see a small bodega called "Gemma's market" the owner of the place is a man named...idk I forgot his name but I knew his son for a while! He also now owns the ice cream place you see at the time stamp 2:10 , to which the previous owner handed it to him, great renovations hes making to the place I tell ya! 3. At 4:31 you can see this little shop ca "botica anaisa" which honestly has nothing but candles! :3 I never went inside it before but it's based off of catholic/Christian faith :3 4. At 9:06 you can see a building with a logo of some sort ahead and to the right is some sort of school/community center, but onto the building ahead of that with the logo on it, that is the hells Angel's place type of thing , I havent done enough research on hells Angel's but they are some biker gang as much as I know! 5. 9:21 - 10:11 are places were I knew people were harmed or killed/shot to death. :( pay respects! 6. 10:11 ahead there are three places, a barber shop, Rita's pizza and fabians liquor store, usually filled with dominicans or Puerto Ricans, m a n y o f t h e m, to the right is a brick building, that's also a small restaurant called... pitos!, now I barely know anything about these places but I can say, they are well managed :3 7. 12:21 - 12:37 welcome to musty HQ where this fuckin road stinks A L O T like dear god its filled with nasty smells you could never forget, trash broken glass cigs you name it!

Yep, those old northeastern neighborhoods. Could be in any number of cities. They all have that well-worn look of post industrial revolution power followed by stagnation and then decline, yet if only those streets and brick buildings, storefronts, and multistory homes could talk. Great video, though, that encourages some of us to fill in the details ourselves from our imagination and others may delve deeper into the dramatic still hidden narratives that seem to cry out to be told, heard, and maybe even to be applauded.

This ain’t the hood. This is just home.

I love these videos lol, after graduating from JWUs providence campus you're just like, "Hey, my friend lived on this street!! Lmao"

i grew up in this area in the 1960's. The Armory straight ahead is my old neighborhood. Wood Street! Gemma's Market was there back then, though I imagine it's changed hands a number of times. Bucklin and Dexter Streets where the Virginia Spanish Peanut Company was. Wendell street, the brick building with the green door was the Coken Company. They made all the street signs there. Messer Street School was my elementary school. The Orange building in front of the fire station was a fish and chips store. West Elmwood was a rough part of town even back then, but it looked a lot better back in the day.

I miss this city, grew up on Cranston st 💯

rhode island is never talked about.

I feel like I'm in the passenger seat when I watch your videos on the 60 inch t.v. 🤗

That's just a piece of the west end. Cranston st to Wendell to Cranston st turn superior st to Dexter Ford st. To Messer to union/Messer down Hanover st to Bellevue st back to Cranston st

Grew up and still live in the west end , whoever thinks shit don’t be active, think again

You cruised down Cranston st but I had to Pause at 6:46 white house on the left is where I grew up at..it was yellow and brown when I lived there..that's 38 Ford st West End..I know it dont look much in this video but the whole west side is about gang activity drugs and all the rest..I'm figuring this was a early morning ride thru...I moved out of Prov in 2012..it was nice seeing my old stomping grounds my hood! 10:25 when you took that left that's Hanover st...you wouldn't be able to count how many shootings went down on that one block right there from the time I was a small kid all the way up until my adult years..anybody that's from Prov know I ain't lying

I haven't been to RI since I was 16 yrs old....still have plenty of family there...I enjoyed myself then tho 20 +yrs ago...if I were thinking of going back there or moving there what would be some advice

Cranston street is hardly a hood 😂

Hey! You went down the street I grew up on-Superior St. - first blue house on the left.

Hi I'm new to this channel you Have good Driving Skillz

At 2:10 I swear, whenever i get mu icecream from the building to the right. There os always a guy looking outside from the 3rd story 😂

This doesn't look so bad at all. I lived in Providence for a while and even though my memory is rusty a lot of this looks like it might not even be from Providence, maybe more like Cranston. It actually looks kinda nice.

Oh shit, my old elementary school. Asa Messer. Right across the street from the Hell's Angels HQ.

It is scary walking there i always go to that 624 (the tessoro) now and my anxiety goes thru the roof

Hows the relationship between Blacks and Hispanics in Providence? Alot of interracial dating in Providence?

Damn, even the “hoods” in New England are quaint. Lol

Looks like the hoods in long island mixed with staten Island

Nothing in this video is a terrible"hood". Just miles a very old yet still functioning neighborhood. Whether or not for different reasons certain things aren't preserved, the history is still there and life is still striving. Pretty good video of one of America's oldest cities

This is my hood 😍

I live in prov it’s crazy theres chad brown aka the projects of prov and then broad st and then onlyville and then there’s here

Small roads, lots of squeeze driving, hardly areas for kids to play

what part of providence is this? the worst looking parts I've actually seen are: the west end (basically Cranston street and the blocks off either side of it), or central falls. lots of bandos. I believe the west end had a lot of the bandos either redone, rebuilt, or knocked down in the past few years. in 2010 it was terrible. so many boarded up buildings, like Baltimore. I think central falls is still pretty messed up for the most part, but everywhere in the country has improved looks-wise it seems.

This shit look like my city New Brunswick in NJ no cap

I didn't see Raymond L. S. Patriaka's headquarters.

Ty my nativity

Look Rhode Island has such bumpy roads

looks just like Newark, with less garbage

My street was the 1st street this car passed in the video. Lol my hood.

I lived on inkerman street. I do miss ri.

Do Bridgeport, Connecticut if you get a chance.

It don't look that bad in Bmore people are out everywere zombies are noodling out trying to get across the street and Theres open air dope markets yelling out the names of dope they have and if they have trash cans of coke or red or green tops! This looks similar to York Pa.

Do South Philadelphia

That’s not the hood. Chad Brown is the hood.

Eva street scares the shit outta me at night

7:21 A year after I left when my brother was still living around these parts with mom their house got shot at. Sea foam and royal blue house to the right. Yeah Prov isn't the greatest to live but it's not terrible compared to spots like Detroit, Compton, Chicago it could be worse but definitely not great.

I didn't see the fancy water fountains. That must be a different street.

It's Kinda Like Paterson To Be Honest

That’s not the hood I live around there is nice and quite

It's not that bad compared to some major metropolitan hoods.

Springfield and Hartford look a lot worse

All Tri-State / New England hoods look the same

Man that’s a beautiful hood 😂😂

A few years ago I was staying just outside Providence and I went to a supermarket to get some beer. Coming from Ireland I didn't know they didn't sell beer. So we drove into town looking for a liquor store at 10 o'clock at night. We found one; walking across the extremely dodgy car park I said to my girlfriend. I have a feeling this going to turn into an episode of The First 48.

This is the West End of Providence. One of the worst areas. You need to go down Broad and Elmwood on the South Side next. North End Is pretty bad too.

Im on this street everyday.. 😎

Cranston St. 😎

Grew up there

Next go true foxpoint it’s in Providence

West end all-day

It us to be peaceful not no more is a danger hood now

😂😂😂😂😂 Um no!
