I love this channel. Real Baltimore history. Wow. It seems like the city was a lot cleaner back in these days versus now.

1978 I was 14 we was wild and the streets was buck wild not much has changed

Look at oprah winfrey when she was a news anchor. Man thats crqzy

Oh snap. Look at OPRAH !!!!!!😮😮😮

damn, you got Al Sanders in his prime? man you been dropping that heat this week.

I just realized that Baltimore has been a violent city for a long time. My goodness!

These posts bring back a ton of memories. I was 9 in 1977. Turner, Sanders, Sher were all young and OPRAH was local and little known nationally i would think

Use to live at 1726 N Bentalou

Too bad....no more crabs and National beer on your back porch in the summer. The produce cart and the Good Humor man came thru in your back alley in early seventies. Patterson Park was a beautiful place to have a picnic. And you could walk along Eastern Avenue from Eastpoint all the way to Highlandtown. (Even if you were a kid.) Well, you can't bring back the past, but WHY can't we??

As usual another great vid w/ 70s realness🔥

Keep ‘em coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great to see AL Sanders in this video

I was 5 years old. I still remember most of the newscasters.

This chaos and goofiness has been going on for generations!

Stayin tuned! 🤠👍

Oprah With the fro at minute 9:20

My mom knew Eraina Pretty, she went to highschool with her and told me about that story all the time

I see there’s a lot of comments, where people are mentioning that the city was so violent. In context, in 1978 there were three times as many residents in the city in the 1970’s as there are current day. Close to 1 million residents in 1978, Baltimore recorded 197 homicides. 2011 Baltimore city Baltimore city population was close to 600,000. There were 196 recorded homicides. Since the early 2010’s until current day Baltimore city has routinely recorded 300 + murders per year. The population is almost less than half it was in 1978. I was 8 years old in 1978, I didn’t understand the benign neglect that was happening around me. Residents were nicer to one another, there wasn’t as much angst despite the conditions. Families were objectively far poorer with far fewer opportunities than exits today. The spirit of the residents, the different communities ~ watching these videos is like time traveling. Places, buildings, landmarks, some still existing, others long since forgotten. Baltimore Ole Baltimore ain’t it hard just to live! Thank you ! Mayor Schaffer! Oprah! Residents had respect for Police. Wow. Metro Plaza before it was open! I can remember some of these stories ! Incredible upload.

Did time in the Maryland Penitentiary lol

Damn right around the corner from my recent house

Loveeee this channel

My uncle owned a store and was shot by 3 teens in 1977 in NYC unless ur a victim or have family that are victims this crime don’t hit the same not much of a change in the hood same thing still going on we just gotta do better we are getting there tho

8:16 lol "yeah i was afraid, wouldn't you be?"

5:09 - I know where the old "Cherry's Pharmacy" was. Its across the street from McDonald's and the old Rid Aid. Its been the "Harford Road Liquors" since Bernard Cherry died after October 25, 1995.

Although it wasn’t absent of poverty, it was certainly way more peaceful back then. Notice you didn’t hear one person verbally abusing the police for protecting their community. It was way better back then even though it wasn’t perfect.
