DC ain't that bad. Baltimore and Philly are worse to me. And none the three compare to Camden to me. That's without a doubt the worse place I've ever been, and I've actually been to those islands off the coast of SC and GA where people still live like it's the 1800s.

" Google was too shook to send one of its Google Maps Street View cars into Camden for YEARS. Eventually, they covered the nice areas around City Hall and the Aquarium (or "The Green Zone" as I call it), but they still want no parts of most of the hood."

There used to be this spot called "The Liquor Bank". It was a pawn shop, but they would give you liquor instead of money. *super smh

dammit these 2 slayed me rite chea those pics look depressing as fuck lls

i'm from california, so the worst spot i've seen is some random areas in los angeles, oakland, and kentucky when visiting family.

i've heard about d.c., detroit, baltimore, etc.. but all i've heard is statistics and news stories about youngsters getting killed. it's one thing to hear that, but it's a whole other thing to hear it's so bad that they're closing the police station or that the pawn shop made exchanges for alcohol, not money.

I know this chick I went to HS that got 3 kids & 2 baby daddies. She got twins by her 2nd BD & a few weeks ago she was on FB talking about that nigga can kiss her ass & she's about to pack her kids up & move to Camden. I started to comment on her stat & tell that bitch she super stupid for moving to Camden but I ain't want no drama LOL

Oakland is worse then the bad parts in Los Angeles. I was surprized how easy going it was out in LA, the hoods their are you average hood in America, nothing like Camden, Detriot, Southside Chicago, East St Louis or Flint

 

[death187sin]

they are trying to fix Camden up tho.. around the downtown area as they do with most hoods. driving through camden you get this overwhelming feeling that tells you you do not want to break down or be out there at night time. The females will set you up. Get there then have niggaz beat and rob u.. My cousin was robbed at gun point 5 times. Twice by the same guy brandishing a uzi. The final time he was shot and killed. Out there messing wit the ratchet ones.

Well that brings it's own set of troubles though. For instance, if you're in Bmore, take a wrong turn, and end up in the hood. You will instantly know that shit whether you're from there or not and can turn your ass around and find the right way. In L.A., your ass might wind up win the most violent hood there and not know it because the place looks like a decent neighborhood.

Bruh.. When I visited Watts I was amazed at the manicured lawns, neat houses with some yard room. Coming from Newark, it looked like a place I can walk around.. The real activity goes on behind the houses in the alley's and trap houses. One minute white people are walking dogs and watering grass then u come up to a intersection wit mad gang activity.

How the fuck did THAT two-bus town get the #1 spot? It's weird, but I feel much safer walking down Nostrand Ave at 1:30 AM to get a sandwich now, then I would walking down 3rd Street back home.

Fuck Former Mayor Jim Baker. Lightskinned negro didn't do SHIT for 12 years but collect checks and watch his dumbass boys fuck up the City Council. Outside of the former City Council president, fuck 90% of those people.

Some cities are dangerous because aint no money there. Others are dangerous because there is money there, making the cost of living higher and the people needing to get more money to live.

You ever have a conversation with someone from Camden? You can tell the school system is very poor there. The only language they know is "shoot" or "how many". I met this group of girls that used to call theyselves S&S.. I asked what it stood for and they said Stick & Stab. 2 days later they stabbed and poked this girl up to death.. A week later they stabbed up this dude in a liquor store and killed him..

Cool story bro
