[bskater199]

uhmm if he was at harlem at night i dont think hed walk back out

[Caharleyreed]

Nice, Thanx, for sharing!

[Justmyopinionlol]

New York is now the crossroads of the world. Harlem is a good example or microcosm of that. It was once predominantly white, then become black, then become hispanic, and possibly Asian in the future (sorry folks, Asians pay their rent, 100% on time).

[mwazi1]

damn i miss home!!! looking at this video brought back a lot of memories!!

[xxHolyxxWolfsbanexx]

I'm 16 and I grew up on 116th and Pleasant Ave. I recently moved out but it's an awesome place to hang out and I still go whenever I can.

[onesexiigoddess]

@xxHolyxxWolfsbanexx lol yeah i love going around there >w< if i hang out in harlem which is kinda rare now im 17..its always around where the mall is. cuz near lexington and down going to the west side..only gets worse </3

[xxHolyxxWolfsbanexx]

@onesexiigoddess Yeah. Near Lexington sucks a lot. I like the mall a lot. I'm happy I moved though. Living there sucked a lot. Besides hanging out there, I only really go to see my grandparents.

[onesexiigoddess]

@xxHolyxxWolfsbanexx agreed >w<

I grew up on 117st and pleasant ave, lots of good memories every 4 of July this Italian guy butch who had a corner store / hangout we go in there and buy m80s a dollar a piece. All the Italians in the area would close off the streets 114st to like 119st and set off a nice firework show for everybody on pleasant ave. Not anymore alot has changed mostly everyones moving.

[NewYorkHabitat]

@FEARTHEPORN2012 Thank you for sharing your memories of growing up in Harlem Ricardo! We will be sure to recommend spending 4th of July in Harlem to our viewers, you make it sound like so much fun! :)

[onesexiigoddess]

great neighboor hood my ass =____= lived here 17 years always a fight its NOT great its terrible >_>

[mwazi1]

@onesexiigoddess i think you are exaggerating!!

[onesexiigoddess]

@mwazi1 do you live there? cuz someone got shot and killed oh so recently. and a girl got sliced. if you havnt been around long enough then dont even start =.= drug dealers all around, violence i dont got caught in between shooting playing in the park when i was lil. i stopped being around here and i still hear the bull crap that goes on. Disrespectfull ass people EVERY WHERE. Im scared to hang around here regardless

[mwazi1]

@onesexiigoddess I was raised in jefferson projects. A girl got sliced and someone got shot and killed, that does not reflect the entire east harlem. Although I have seen violence, it is not to the extreme that you are talking. I recently was in jefferson park, no violence nor fights. I was also told that jefferson day was really good. Stop focusing on the negative so much and open your eyes to the positive.

[onesexiigoddess]

@mwazi1 at least jeff has a nice park T_T pssh i wouldnt EVER let my future kids get raised around harlem. matter fact its the PEOPLE who wana make it bad as fuck. every holiday or celebration theres always some idiot who gets too drunk gets into a fight and starts shooting. LAST YEAR for my nieces 4th bday party we made it at the park (my sister did dum move) and 3 people came shooting AT the party and almost killed innocent children that were also playing in the park. Lehman sucks =___=

[mwazi1]

@onesexiigoddess can you honestly say that the entire east harlem is like that? where in nyc are you going to go to escape crime?

[onesexiigoddess]

@mwazi1 HONESTLY downtown. through out the day as i GO to school downtown for the last 4years and hangout there day and night..i have NEVER seen crime. Harlem has higher rates of crime downtown is way safer. Ive never not once seen a robbery, or someone get shot..i mean fights from the stupid kids who go to school there but not as much as Jackie which is in harlem. so to answer your question I yes ME i feel safe downtown where ive had no bad experiences

[mwazi1]

@onesexiigoddess there is a high crime rate downtown, there is also more drug use downtown. I guess you did not hear about the three major drug bust on the upper east side. As I said I think you are exaggerating a lot. you are looking for the negative in east harlem.

[onesexiigoddess]

@mwazi1 you just said upper east side =_= thats deff not even close Soho area and who cares for drug use its crimes as in fights and guns. youre just trying to make your home sound like its great when in reality harlem is a piece of shit. garbage all over the floor piss in the elevators, BROKE DOWN ELEVATORS taht get you stuck for mad long, the people who live here just make it worse. Downtown is cleaner, richer, and more responsible ive never had a problem anywhere downtown from 86thstreet down

[67tr876]

@mwazi1 Hold on now I lived on the upper east side for 15 years and my grandad still lives there now what you just side is bull ! You will get no more clener then the upper east side man.

[mwazi1]

@67tr876 no it was not. just cause your neighborhood has clean streets, it is a den of humans with filthy souls. the drug usage and prostitutes are rampant on the upper east side. there are drug bust all the time. it is a fact!!!

[67tr876]

@mwazi1 What made up bullcrap is that ? I know my streets at night all that is is a fact in you're dumb head ! GET OUT OF HERE ! you sound like you dont live in the city i bet you dont

[mwazi1]

@67tr876 can you honestly say your neighborhood is drug and crime free? an you honestly say that they youth and adults in your neighborhood do not sell and use drugs, commit rape and robbery against their own?

[67tr876]

@mwazi1 look shit is going to happen but in the upper east side its not that bad ! small things you know. Dude I live in the upper east side for 15 years you think I dont know my own neighborhood ? And am not saying Harlem is a bad place.

[mwazi1]

@67tr876 I know you are not saying that. I am really trying to get across to the other guy that east harlem is not all crime and drugs. there are more good people than bad people. He or she seems to think that east harlem is the worse place in the world!! There is no where in NYC that is drama free
