But yea for everyone who want's to know about downtown, It's no front it is wreck less

Lots of fights, murders, etc its very crazy and very real.

[ColoradoKing26]

OPD IS SO GODDAMN ABUSIVE I AM GOING TO SEND THIS VIDEO TO THE NEWS WHAT FUCKING JOKE, I AM GLAD I MOVED.

[OfficialSoFly]

[egotrader]

This is nothing, coming from NYC or the Jersey Shore, this is a cake walk! A matter of fact, this is a bit tame! In NYC, when fights break out, it's usually with about 20-30 dudes at a time full swinging, and there's always knockouts. LOL.

[FloridaThuggin407]

@egotrader thats cuz there showin u downtown orlando where all the rich white people go. go down 2 where i live at on kirkman and old winter garden. if u aint from here u aint welcome here. Pine Hills Mafia

[BYOB561]

@egotrader Of course look how big ny is and how compacted everything is.

[arielista]

That guy at 1:05 into the video clearly says he is not resisting, yet the cop keeps pushing and trying to break his arm. I say it's gotta be little man symdrome.

[Cruella101DeVil]

i'll stick to hartford

[Danielsevilla27]

@Cruella101DeVil ewww boringass city

[bIancoitaliano]

From 1993 to 2004, Orlando was a war zone. Ever since we got a new chief and sheriff, crime has calmed down.

[RinEditionB]

I've read all the comments here, and it's basically...... half and half. Many people saying it's a dangerous dump, many people saying they've never had problems. This is NOT encouraging for someone who is thinking of moving there. :(

[springerbob]

@RinEditionB YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH WHERE YOU PARKED AND FOR YOU GIRLS ALWAYS HANGOUT IN GROUPS. THATS MY BEST ADVICE

[RinEditionB]

@springerbob Thanks, I'll take safety measures. :P I decided to move there after all- looks better than freaking New York!

[Blairtje13]

@RinEditionB - So what are your thoughts so far? I want to move to New York, but my parents live outside of Orlando and being that I'm the only child and they are getting older, I want to live closer to them. My concern is that if I move to Orlando I will be bored because I love living in big cities.

[RinEditionB]

@Blairtje13 I haven't actually moved yet. I'm moving in two weeks from New York. If you want to move to nyc I know noting about it- but as for the state itself it isn't terrible. winter mornings are an absolute pain in the ass though. Maybe you could move your parents too? some places here are nice for retirement.

[TellItLikeItIs80]

@RinEditionB WHEN I FIRST GOT TO ORLANDO PEOPLE WERE ALSO TELLING ME TO WATCH OUT IT IS A DANGEROUS CITY....IT IS NOT AS BAD AS THEY SAID IT WAS, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE 6 YEARS I WAS THERE. ACTUALLY DAYTONA BEACH IS MORE DANGEOUS THEN ORLANDO.

[BYOB561]

@RinEditionB Look i've been to orlando plenty of times, i live in florida. Orlando is one of the best cities in the u.s. to live, its big and beautiful and safe. I mean theres pro's and cons but no city is perfect. But im damn sure its close to being perfect. The only thing orlando is missing is beaches lol. Orlando has limitless things to do there, some of the most beautiful ppl you'll see especially women lol. i hope this was useful.

[Joe11201978]

nothing from this video was actually on church street...that was all Orange Ave.

[yoyoyosup1]

church street is slowly improving. it's not the same as it used to be but the new arena should help out a lot

[jflor98]

The Church Street area is great, not sure what you people are even talking about, thats a great party place. I don't live in Orlando but have been there many times over the years to party at Church Street, and always look forward to going back there. Alot of bars and restaurants, and always good crowds down there, I have never had a problem. I really wish that Sheraton didn't close down though, that was a great place to stay right in walking distance to everthing there.

[Magician0ericZ]

For those bashing downtown orlando.I work for Rural/Metro Ambulance and i can tell you its not as bad as you make it seem.Its fun to drive downtown on a friday or saturday night.We dont usually run alot of fight or assualt calls.

[Clemburke1111]

No body over the age of 30 should dance.

[hcig]

i forgot the name of that pizza shop, but im surprised it isnt Gino's, that place is always the first place drunks go to fill up at night.

But just to let you guys know, downtown is great, and ive been there, by myself, walking, from 12 to 3 on HALLOWEEN (where everyone becomes notoriously drunk) and nothing happened (though i dont reccomend it, just in case)

[personM4N]

Isn't it just called 24 hour pizza? And yeah, in my experience the drunk assholes are usually just beating up other drunk assholes...it also depends on where downtown you are. I've never been in a fight downtown.

[hcig]

sorry i didnt even notice the inbox, so i took 2 months to reply (lol, oops) but now that i think about it, i think it might be 24 hour pizza, i never remembered to check, but it kinda rings a bell.

[stonecrazy89]

Accurate portrayal of Downtown Orlando. I've walked these streets by myself for over twenty years and have yet been fucked with.  True enough, it can be scary with all the drunk assholes. Still, people pretty much leave me alone.

[QueensBLis]

People are too up tight...Orlando is a nice city...obviously u dont wanna walk in any bigger cities downtown at night time...thats common sense...i lived in hollis queens and orlando...believe me Orlando is nice compared to Queens.lol

[DrMindBender76]

that's how we do it in orlando, baby

[Orangeotterpop]

aww midnite pizza yummy

[cuzzintruck]

i moved to Orlando 2 yrs ago...the biggest thing that has happened is my cuzzins 2005 toyota Tundra was stolen from infront of our place which is in a Gated Community, lol, we live on the east Side about 10-15 minutes from Downtown, i jog downtown all the time after Midnight and havent had any problems,thank god. Orlando has a lot of crime b/c we have a lot of tourists and people who prey on them. no matter what major city you live in, you will never avoid crime or some type of problem.

[Samsondog83]

Cuzzin, do you live @ Hidden Creek off of Oxalis? I chased the stolen Tundra, sorry it flipped :X

[cuzzintruck]

who is this and how do you know that???

[Samsondog83]

I was one of the two officers who responded to the call. We didn't chase it, though. Per policy we only pursue violent felonies (not property crimes). The other officer and I were literally on scene within 30 seconds of the call, driving up Oxalis as the guy pulled out of the complex right in front of us. We'd hoped to block him in the complex, but were a few seconds too late.

The guy sped right by us. By the time we got turned around he had already rolled the truck and was out running.

[cuzzintruck]

OMG, what a small world. Yeah it was you I was also trying to follow behind him and I saw when he ran around the police car on Oxalis, and then i wondered why did one of the cop cars stop at the intersectn of CurryFord and Oxalis. I was shocked when i saw the truck had flipped and the guy got away. How can we find out if they ever found him?

[Samsondog83]

Honestly, as fast as we'd gotten there (w/in 30 seconds) we thought we could block him in the complex (as there's only the one entrance). We were literally two seconds too late. I blocked the road with my vehicle, but as you just mentioned he just drove up over the curb and onto on the grass around it.

Unfortunately, there's only so much we can do for property crimes like stolen cars. Current policy says we can't pursue them (risk vs reward of fighting crime vs endangering the public).

[cuzzintruck]

man this is sooo crazy, I would have never thought someone would read what I wrote and know that I was telling the truth. We still dont know how they got the truck, but the spare key that i had has been missing every since then. I had a silver Dodge Ram and I used to keep the spare in my glove compartment, and we think I left my doors unlocked and they tried to steal my truck when they found the key for the other truck.

[Samsondog83]

And the guy literally disapeared. I was very surprised he recovered from a crash like that so fast. Realistically, though. He was probably arrested later on for stealing another car. It's usually a couple of groups of people doing most of the car thefts (especially on east side). I can think of a couple names off the top of my head right now...most of them are family and/or related through gangs.

[cuzzintruck]

he must have been on drugs or really drunk. We were following behind him and I was flashing my lights and blowing the horn, trying to get peoples attention, that probably was the biggest mistake. he was driving so slowly out of the complex I wanted to ram him, but I knew it wasnt worth it if he had a gun. I now think if I would have just followed him you guys would have made it there intime to stop him. too late now.

[luthien7rei]

So many ignorant people on here.

Church St fell victim to DowntownDisney and CityWalk. They have reopened to great success with wonderful eateries & clubs. Even the old Saloon & Opera House are back.

Orlando has a vibrant downtown & nightlife. It boasts world class restaurants and bars. The Thornton Park & Eola districts are fanatastic. It is just as safe as any other downtown.

Too many people on here are ignorant to Downtowns areas and developments and need not comment.

[whitewidow73]

Soulful Warrioior uCf is a craphole. i think they make people turn into idiots. And anyone who thinks downtown is safe needs to put down the pipe. It is boring and dirty

[76special]

Please do not go to downtown Orlando alone, go with a group of people, it is not safe at all and it is a shithole, ugly as hell with lots of empty buildings and no stores. It is a haven for prostitutes and drug dealers and your crazy hobos.

[afewgoodclips]

I'm from Orlando, and I don't know where you are getting this from, but downtown was never like you describe. Maybe in the early 1980's, but it is thriving and well lit with lots of shops, bars, nightclubs, and restaraunts. I've always enjoyed going downtown Orlando and I've never had any problems down there at all. The prostitutes are on Orange Blossom Trail, which is not downtown. It's a great city and I love it!

[hcig]

afewgoodclips is right, the only "bad" part of town with the druggies and whores is on orange blossom trail when it meets colonial, then after a few miles your back into the nice part of OBT (the florida mall and the attractions) but dont worry, theres like an invisible barrier on colonial that stops the hookers from advancing, haha.

[nesnman]

Downtown Orlando is not safe. Don't go even during the day

[shannonm2461]

Are you kidding me.....

I live in Downtown orlando and its super safe. I wouldn't walk alone late at night, but thats true for most cities. Orlando is not that bad. We do have alot of panhandlers though.

[nesnman]

It was safe about 10 years ago but I was shocked at how bad it is now. I travel to Orlando about 4 times a year for my job and I made the mistake of taking my family downtown a few years back. I will never do that again. It's a dump. Church Street it gone. The only thing you see now are college kids and drug addicts.

[NB5BHVL]

@shannonm2461 Lived there most of my life till 10yrs ago and never had a problem in Orlando. Getting ready to come back to Orlando in about a month to visit my Daughter who still lives out there, I know some hate it there but I can say I love it there ....One thing ...........Never a bore

[Cargo1273]

Go old man! Go old man! Go old man!... this was like channel surfing. Nothing interesting in ANY channel.

[spasticnerfbag]

I love Orlando. Everyone here is batshit insane.

[newenglandvideo]

Wow, What happened to downtown Orlando? I was just at the Church Street area a week ago.Lots of empty buildings. It looks like a ghost town.

[nspinicelli]

Yeah, church street went absolutely broke a couple years ago. Other places along Orange Ave are usually really busy though. I'm looking to go to some electronica clubs this weekend...

[disneyprez]

just stay home people, you can still get drunk furiously masturbate and wake up $100 richer and not in jail

[davebritboy]

i hated orlando. denver is nice.

[xxxlilwhorexxx]

fuck you orlando is the best in the world i grew up here :)

[davebritboy]

fuck u too... u know im not lying, u cant walk safe in downtonw orlando... oh yeah i loved disney... but not downtown.

[natakalt]

I went on feb 2008 and it was great, I went there many nights and I was safe all the time, nothing bad or strange happened to my or my loved ones. and also went to disney, gosh I love those themed parks!

[xpallodoc]

To the person who compared the night life of orlando to Miami and said it sucks wow! thats like comparing the city scape to NYC and then saying it sucks??? whats the point

[delaurifer]

Orlando is really cool :D Well, as long as you don't cross the I-4, I used to live on Mills Ave. and the eastern part of downtown is absolutely fine ;-)

[senoritarhonda]

soooo true

[utick]

i go downtonwn orlando regularly on weekend nights and it is safe, sure there the odd fight but that happens everywhere. media just totaly overhypes crime in america. i see far more shit going down in cities in europe from my own personal experience

[senoritarhonda]

yes thank you- id watch my back more round london town.

[nesnman]

For any who believe its safe just grab the Sunday Orlando Sentinel every week. They show the police log and it's broken into sections . Downtown Orlando has the most crime according the police log listed every week.

[kanata978]

DUDE!!!!11 ur sayin the same shit in every orlando video.....what ? are u one of those people who are so proud to live in a dump, that u try to convince people its a dump, but it aint so bad...loser!!

[nesnman]

Dude, First of all learn to spell. Talk about being a loser. And again, Downtown Orlando is a dump. The more people that know about it the better. Anything to save a life.

[senoritarhonda]

takes one to know one :)

[odinfellow]

Downtown Orlando is completely safe. This video is just a bit boring.

[nesnman]

No it's not. And don't take your family downtown. It was safe about 10 years ago. But not anymore. Don't go downtown even during the day.

[odinfellow]

Please. I think you are talking about Jacksonville, FL NOT Orlando. If you think downtown Orlando is unsafe you are simply a paranoid coward.

[NickHoise]

I would take his advice if I had a family. If you're single and have nothing to lose I guess it's ok. But Orlando is not the city it once was. I would advise people to go to Universal or Disney at night. The crime in Orlando is out of control.

[nesnman]

Paranoid Coward because I care for my families safety? Ok.

[soulfulwarrior]

Hey, I live in J-ville but used to live in orlando. Orlando is a pile of shit compared to jacksonville. I feel safer here anyday compared to orlando. Especially up at the ucf area where I went to school at that shit college.

[odinfellow]

Well, Mr. Hyperbland, your mediocrity is quite transparent. Jacksonville is nothing more than Atlantic Blvd, or as I like to call it, the world's largest strip mall. People like you should enjoy Jacksonville with your Hallmark card contemporary country music and your Dancing With the Stars R&B. Good luck living in Jacksonville. You should be ok as you don't sound like a critical thinker. Sit back and watch some Faux News and try to keep Bush in office! ha ha ha

[nesnman]

For you tourist don't confuse this with Sea World, Universal or Disney. They are very safe . Just stay away from downtown Orlando.

[Patdami1]

CHurch street?..are you kidding me im from miami, and compared to south beach...hold up there is no comparison Orlando sucks

[AS21382]

You're an idiot, he was being sarcastic. This is for the news and is about the crime and ridiculous stuff that happens, he wasn't saying how "cool" it is, dumbass.

[SResnick213]

I work in Downtown during the summer...you never know what you're going to see!

[jjmaail]

Downtown Orlando is Beautiful and so much fun!

[azoltenko]

who the hell is that dancing guy

[nesnman]

Downtown Orlando is a dump.

[sethperry1970]

most of the crime is in pine hills and west of orange ave, the central downtown area is just fine. If you don`t believe me look at a crime map most murders and robberies are in the OBT area and pine hills.

[sethperry1970]

most of the violent crime is in pine hills and holden heights not downtown.

[nesnman]

Not true at all. They have crime in Pine Hills but downtown has just as much crime.

[senoritarhonda]

seriously? you think the financial district has as much crime as CRIME HILLS itself? tee hee. thanks...i could use a good laugh....ahhhh...hehehhe...ahh­h....oh man. seriously? ahhh.

[nesnman]

Go to the Orlando Sentinel and check out the new feature they have. You can check out the crime in the Orlando Area. It backs up what I say.
