[MrKingmidas72]

DAyyyyyyyum you got my work in there G&M liqures...couple times...hell yeah good shit!

[godlessworlds69]

I work there but would not live there~!

[beastmomohi18]

see, Springfield was only voted 3rd most dangerous city because the state or baron magazine or whoever it was, counted all of Sangamon county, not Springfield itself, so good job Government, you just made out city look like Detroit's ghetto

and all of Springfield isn't bad, just some of it.

I can't say i live in Springfield, because I live in Leland Grove, a small township directly next to springfield, but i can still say Springfield isn't all bad :)

[lilpeepdis]

yuh thnk springfield is bad nothing compared to washington park in east st.louis

[killerjared589]

Im truely a springfield Ghetto lived there all my life you honestly think that this is it hehe hears the stand up 48 rapes 341 murders and 4000 robberies

[FriqqenNinjahh]

This my city and I put on for it BITCHES ! Fuck y'all dick suckers . Fuck you mean ?

[SoxfanEIU]

Springfield isn't that bad contrary to some of the comments displayed. Granted, there are some shady areas, but it wasn't a bad area to grow up in. Like every other city, it has its pros and cons. It could be worse, look at Decatur down the road.

[HarleyHummer65]

Its true!

Springfield Illinois just got voted one of the most vilolent cities in America by Barons magazine.

What out for a bogus DUI arrest in Springfield IL. Illinois.

Abe Lincoln would roll over in his grave.

Cops are everywhere looking for a DUI, but could care less about the real crime and thats why Barons magazine voted Springfield Illinois the 3rd most violent city in AMERICA.

Do NOT VACATION in SPRINGFIELD IL. ILLINOIS.

Beware of the Presidental Museum. Its downtown. Stay Away.

[GDuff123]

@HarleyHummer65 As a man who was born in Springfield, I can garuntee you it does suck.

Oh and whats wrong with the presidential museum? They profilin people there now?

[HarleyHummer65]

The police are pulling over everyone after 9pm, in hopes of busting someone for a DUI.

Listen to the police scanner online Springfield IL. after 9pm.

People getting pulled over left and right, north, south, east, west and especially downtown.

Have you looked at the Sangamon County cout schedule lately? Its available to examine online here:

67.128.239.91/sccc/Home.sc

Just today there were over 66 DUI cases in the Sangamon County Courthouse

Do not Vacation in Springfield ILLINOIS.

[bennybob7556]

@HarleyHummer65

Why are you hating on Springfield so badly, i bet you haven't even been there and you just read that its dangerous. well only the places around cook and 11th are bad other wise it is a fine place to live so go fuck yourself asshole

[holidayswithjason]

@HarleyHummer65

[Revis]

do yourself a favor, move an hour north to peoria

[tekcoptoh]

and oh yeah you probably meant 13th off of cook, that is actually kind of bad.

[tekcoptoh]

y because them damn arabs dont clean it.

Springfields not ghetto, it does have some ghetto people and some gangster people tho, but mostly it is a medical district and business city, bad place to raise a family tho.

[tekcoptoh]

All of the north end is shitty what do you mean the shitty parts?

pope street IS on the east end and I, a white highschool kid have walked it many times, it isnt that bad it just has some occasional bad people. I know families on that damn street. What part of 13th? And dont tell me bunn park. The southsides decent (except laketown) not much there tho. The westside is nice as a bitch and so is the south east side by the lake. And all these pictures are are old gas stations that are only dirt...

[zelemont]

@tekcoptoh Not all of the north end is shitty.... Indian hills and the area right near Sangamon avenue are nice, working class family neighbors, I don't see any gang activity until I get south past North Grand really.

[swf4blkm]

Sad, but true.... :(

[godzillaisbeast1]

this dosent look all that bad at all. youve never been to chicago i am guessing

[colypso72]

[KingofCarnage18]

Dude. Lol Springfield ain't scary. Go to my old hometown atlant. Walk down washington. Shit lol.

[KingofCarnage18]

Dude seriously? I live like one street over from pope. Ive walked down the streets in my trips carrying my SE Warlock. You don't fuck with them they don't fuck with you.

If you are scared of any part of springfield go to atlanta. That was my home town. Walk down washington and 20th.

[jdcc061]

I sure hope it's not a ghetto..but, I used to live at 13th street and Kansas...My grandmother's house and the place I lived were right there...I see that a lot of trees were destroyed...also, when I left in 1978...it was just becoming black, which didn't matter to me, except my stupid, idiot racist father.

[thewho2014]

The video was pretty cool,,, but when you rich white kids try to sound black, it's just ridiculous.

[weitzfc]

most of the white flighters are getting out . moving to the outskirts of town or small towns like sherman , rochester.chatham, williamsville or riverton. in another twenty years springfield will be like detroit ,or gary or east st louis.

[mrmike840]

@elitensupremeone Yes this video suck but are u serious saying people are afraid to ride down Pope st or 13th? Lmao Springfield is lame ass fuck stop trying to act like its tha Chi or East st louis......anybody @ anytime can go anywhere in springfield whenever they want too......

[dethilva]

Anyone that believes Springfield is Ghetto is a fucking retard. We're surrounded by cornfields you fucking morons. Yeah... Real ghetto.

[meisenheimer11]

@dethilva Ahahahahahha, thats funny as hell. White po bo here and I was from here thought it was big.... then moved to Floria. Orlando baby. This shits stupid....lol

[scarletngold]

this video is misleading. bullshyt. most of springpatch is political and country as hell.

[ToneNinja]

This was once a nice city, but like so many other places... it was overrun with trash that refuses to work.

[lisaann1213]

Why all the bars? Do you want do you want the tourists thinking we're all drunks and Crackheads?

[LauraBeachnut]

Gross city.

It's more ghetto than hillbilly, but above all else, GROSS!

[SoHappyIcouldDie101]

hey you showed me house (:

[ShutUpChannel]

Springfield is nothing compared to East STL

[DaMontecarlogurl314]

@ShutUpChannel or north st louis

[Delinvia]

lmao man who put this up here?.....I admit it is some ghetto as muh fuckas there but ummmmm real talk the realest niggas in springfield is the Deers....the othea day i was wlking up dwn the street n seen like 4 deers cme gallopin towards my ass. Ha hahaaa smh

[weitzfc]

the "ghetto" is the reason ,they live in panther creek, chatham , sherman ,williamsville , riverton,rochester and other rural. who would want to live in an area rampant , with crime, prostitution , drugs , home breakins and murder. my family started out in the southwest, when was made up of irish, germans , and italians. working class neighborhoods, and a good place to live. fine old neighborhoods , turned into hog wallows.

[HeadTater]

NSP!

I'd rather live in the "ghetto" than have to deal with those d-bags in Panther Creek and The Reserve or even (God forbid) Chatham.

[reaper0587]

@HeadTater I live in chatham and you know what fuck you, we moved there for school, not cuz we had the money....i dont have a fancy house, new car, and god dammit i work on the farm so who r u to say what kind of person i am, you dont know me

[HeadTater]

@reaper0587 Someone's a little over sensitive. Some decent and cool people do live in Chatham. I know some of 'em. I didn't say that everyone in Chatham was a douche. I just said that there was a lot of them in Chatham.

[reaper0587]

@HeadTater I know that, but other people from other places don't. just making a point not hatin off anyone, don't take it personal

[shocktrooperX]

god damn springfied il not like this i live here it is beautiful these a really old pics dumbass cock suckin bitch

[Jusanigga]

@shocktrooperX go yo the hood

[McDizzle]

you think this is bad?

[Moonstar1434]

hahaa The Northender ofr of 9th and North Grand at 0:16 ,, i lived 11 blocks west of that store , one of the guys that works there is a dick head

[LiLJ40]

Springfieldilrezidnt, if u think that pope n mlk is bad then oviously u aint been very far cuz they aint dat bad at all jus cuz tha houses aint as nice n hella ppl that look hard live there dont mean they will kill u

[camaron2one7]

i remember when i lived in springfield

[marvo75]

This is just a ghetto video...ever town has a ghetto,i dont care if it;s Rochester,every town has a poor side. I can shoot a vid and make spring patch look wealthy, it's all how you look at something. I grew up in the ghetto, out now but it has def gotten worse. I'm as far west as i can afford! The east side has gotten worse for a reason...just think about it...duh...

[yamster88]

look at my vids springfield need to grap bikes and raise it up all day show these cops whats up , springfield need to start this movment asap

[popinfresh9000]

ive worked in springfield my whole life and springfield is worse than people think. I mean look at this guy he cant even spell really right. No anyway go to south grand and 11th pick some hooks up.

[Springfieldilrezidnt]

try going down pope street at night. id b impressed if u came out of the area alive. if u do live then go down martin Luther king and ull def. b dead.

[yamster88]

pope aint that bad or mlk theres worse

[blaqueaaron7]

@Springfieldilrezidnt Thats not fuckn true. You just scary

[yamster88]

4:00 lol what person in springfield aint seen this cluck walkin around holdin signs on south grand

[barbarian910]

holy shit, i actually seen her like 5 times

[badge764]

this vid is one sided, it targets the down side of Spfld. there is more to the city than this. this is showing mostly the poorer side, what about the entire city as a whole first, then the rest. with that said ...the song is not about the city as a whole but just the southeast sides.

[totallydude999]

Brandon Court is pretty fucked up tho. (I noticed alot of this is taken on North Grand)

[crashman10x]

at 1:41 dose that fish say "Master Bait"?

[BBRiiTTY]

I live on the Southeast and North sides of Springfield, Illinois. Some people from the Westside are scared to drive over here, much less live here. Its honestly not that bad. I dont see why people are so scared. As long as yu know where yr going and arent scared of every person yu see, yu dont have a problem. I walk the streets all day and night and Im still here..aint nothin happened to me. Springfield isnt that ghetto at all.

[weitzfc]

i simply saying the southeast part of town is crime ridden and unsafe. what? it was rated 13th most dangerous in the nation .

[chiwsox5]

thats a load of crap, if that survey was true they need to re-do it

[HarleyHummer65]

@weitzfc In 2011, it was rated the 3rd most dangerous city. Things have gotten worse. There is no manufacturing jobs. It seems everone is either unemployed, a medical worker, or a police officer. Today, they announced they are shutting down the post office on Cook street. Springfield has deteriorated. The kids and tourist go downtown to have a drinks, as its the only entertainment, and get busted on their way home. This just hurts the local economy even more. Abe Lincoln would roll in his grave

[RedneckMikeSr]

springfield is a fuckin shit hole from hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weitzfc]

i was raised in the southeast part of town, in the 60' and 70's. back then it was mainly white, blue collar working class.we never had murders , home invasions, prostitution ,robbery, muggings and as kids i felt pretty safe. if anything happened that was unpleasant it was rare. my mom and dad never even had a key to the front door. they never locked it.most whites have fled to the outskirts or to surrounding small towns. i primarily for safety reasons.

[chiwsox5]

springfield is so soft. aint nothin happenin here. you act like you scared to come out your house. it isnt a bad place at all

[Skatordirector]

wow i used to live there, its not bad.. just like any other city really, except it does look a lil ghetto

[tobelaw25]

This video is a sham...anyone who believes that this is a true representation of Springfield is ignorant. Like in every city, there are nice homes on each side of town and there are also some eye-sores. The eastside, northside, southside, and the westside all have some nice houses, great neighborhoods and residents. This video simply focuses on all of the negative pointsof Springfield; notice they did not feature one church, shopping center or school.

[jbuecker71]

thing is You all choose to live like that. . . .

[LauraBeachnut]

No, some people are born in it and choose to move out

I live between San Francisco and Manhattan (and a little place I rent out in Queens)

No one chooses to live like that, sometimes the city just makes it so that it chooses a minority to live poorly and that's what they are stuck with.

if you notice, most of the lush greenery is on the west side. It use to be on the EAST side, but, the city tore them down to raise prices of real estate in the west and make them fall in the east (true story)

[Dazzo2009]

If people would try to make there own cities and states better! They wouldnt migrate to the DaField...So why is everone coming to the DaField?

[LauraBeachnut]

Springfield, IL use to be a nice pristine city, then people who live right out side of springfield only came to work and party in it and turned it into a personal place to shit, make noise and leave to their quiet communities. The racism in the city became so thick it had its best workers under arrest just for living out their daily lives. Also, the dreg of east saint louis and South Chicago moved into town and basically turned the place into a gross out city.

This is Karen Hassara's aftermath

[enterdamanery]

again, another failed attempt to make a video.u and i BOTH know this video is full of shit. im not even gonna point out all that is wrong with what u recorded.

[mike369MAS]

i live on da westside of springfield

[chiwsox5]

downtown isnt ghetto, what you talkin bout? you must stay over on the west side

[tinnmanoz]

Thanks for the video. In 1974 I raised my miidle finger to this town and booked on down 66. one of the best damn days of my life

[elitensupremeone]

This video fucking SUX!!! You only show shitty parts of the Northend and The East Side. Are those the only places you've been? Were you too scared to drive down Pope St. ,13th and Kansas, East Jackson and what about the South and WEST Side?!!!

[SPRINGFIELDILLINOIS]

il drive where ever i want

[Dazzo2009]

You were born and raised here? Why diss your state and town! If your movin! Move then! whats stoppin ya! People like you give DaField a bad name! Make a video that people want to see! We dont want to see that shit! Move and make a video of that city! Lets see what you get!

[chiwsox5]

why would anyone be scared to drive in springfield? whats there to be scared of?

[anthonyrocksworldz]

that place is ghetto as fuck. when i went there this year with my class it was so ghetto. other than the main city it was the most ghetto place ive ever been

[chiwsox5]

you needs to get out more often haha, it aint that ghetto

[rocketmotor01]

The OP showed all the seedy and shady sections, there are nice one too that are far from ghetto. This is probably one of the most racially divided cities I've been in. Not that they are burning crosses, just not too much interracial mixing.

[Morethanfaithful]

I am from Detroit, now that bleak and depressing. I also lived in Springfield Ill for 4 years, but that's been almost 20 years ago. I am sure it has changed alot.

[musthavejava]

This is sad. I was looking at videos relating to Springfield because I was considering a homes in the area...and came across this. Not sure what part of town this is, but it's so bleak and depressing. No one deserves to live in areas like this.

[oscarpaul5]

seriously i live in springfield and its not that bad at all this is just a very small portion of the city, the western part of the city around new berlin is very nice, and plus basically all of the city is corn fields not a ghetto

[musthavejava]

oscarpaul5, thx for the positive feedback.

[perhour1234]

[psychokitty222]

points on interest my ass....

[lnkilli]

This make's me sad... not all of springfield looks like this. Ths video just reminds me why I liked staying out toward the west side. *choke*

[AltRnTvMiND]

HA Ha damn I hope they bulldoze the Bel-aire to the ground, I'll be there on that day. Freaking place is a goddamned eye sore. And the drive thru liquor place on South Grand is a bitch to drive by on weekends, always a line of cars blocking South Grand off. I live like 5-6 blocks from there too. OOO and Carter's Fish is da shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!! LAter!

[hockeyplaya95]

[seancarm]

I'm from the southside. Folks were northenders. Dad worked at the Pillsbury plant, now I think Con agra owns it. Northend springfield was always kind of gritty. Always a real community feel to it though. Grandparents lived on Monument Ave. remember playing down there alot.

[weezywifey88]
