  • i used to live there

  • Look at the amazing construction on these buildings. Buildings surrounded by trees. I think of so many people in other countries who lack the technology and resources to build like this. And how we don't appreciate having a "roof over our heads". There are people living in tin and wooden shacks all over the world. We have opportunity to live sheltered, even with modest accommodations...and we tear it up, physically, socially, spiritually, economically. We = Americans.

  • @PhillyChickNaomi Good comment.

  • Such a waste. Why ones will destroy their homes due to the age of the site. Shame, shame on you with little self-worth will set and let your own kind pull down the hood to run to another home site to do the same in a short time.

    Appreciation is none existence when there isn't any toil in achievement.

    Work to many is to walk a ways for a hand-out. Shame, shame. Haiti is here!

  • WOW!! Imma a Woody too 219 Mills st apt 108 all day!This video is crazy to look at because i can remember the streets, the people & events that happened at certain apartments on certain clips! Its a very surreal feeling seein where ive walked and hung out and fought & cried and laughed...thanks Terminus for this one. Woody 4 life!!!

  • @GSIDEFX Thanks for the comment....I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Techwood was a historical place.

  • Comment removed

  • I lived there all my life and i can say da Woody was no joke! You're a soldier if you survived. That hard ass life made me resilient and very socially conscious. I could probably write a best seller based on my experiences. It's ironic though. Through all the turmoil, i love my childhood. I don't think we realized the danger. We were family and only knew it as life. Our ghetto slogan was, "If you ain't from da Woody, get da fuk out my hoody!" R.i.p. Techwood...still Woody 4 life

  • @ajordanfan You should write about it. Atlanta's history and its story is unknown for the most part. People know Atlanta for the more superficial things. The dont know about the cities drug issues, all the 'Homes' throughout the city, the neighborhood pride and the gangs that came with it, the Olympics changing the city. Im trying to write a story about it. I was born in '87 so I missed out and was to young to see alot. The A' has one of the most interesting stories of any city in America

  • @atl2maryland - The years when King was alive, African-Americans living in Atlanta had pride and sought higher education. I was surprised to learn about the Race Riot of 1906 when innocent black men were accused of false assaults - and the Great Fire of Atlanta some years later. Great history in that city. Some parts of the downtown area remind me of Manhattan. Very hilly, too.

  • @PhillyChickNaomi Yeah the race riot of 1906 was actually the second biggest riot in America behind the Watts riots in Cali.....a lot of it happened around downtown and the Brownsville area now better known as Summerhill. The Flat Iron building is probably what you see in Manhattan, I know there is a discrepancy as to which city built it first: Atlanta or New York.

  • Congress can't decide which is the worst. 1'st off they all sucked. But they aren't the ones living there, so the have no clue what goes on. & Stop saying its the worst because the only reason it's the deadliest is because of lame ass construction. Lmao not murders or rapings or gangs but construction. Ya'll couldn't last a day in Cabrini Green. Don't know what Cabrini Green is? Look it up the real deadliest & biggest project in the USA.

  • @snugly195 Explain to me how Techwood's construction defines it being the deadliest...? The "violent" crime in the apartment complex was 69x's the national average. We are not talking about fires killing people and poor infrastructure are we? Do you even know what you are talking about? I probably know more about Cabrini Green than you...and it's only foolish for you to say Cabrini Green was bigger than Robert Taylor- that's how I know you're an idiot.

  • I feel u bruh on the racial shit I mean im not from the A but spent most of my summers there it wasnt just all bad shit that came from these places good shit happen too and also successful people grew up up in places where white and black people try to down grade...

  • @e081194eng Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm longer tolerating racial or disrespectful comments on my videos so I'm going to delete your message. Unfortunately some of yall might get the wrong idea about the videos- not meant to expose any ethnicity or to degrade anyone,- but really I had hopes of putting videos up so people could remember where they lived or grew up. Like a memorial or remembering.

  • @terminuszone1 They're just ignorant and jealous that's all. This is the 4th Atlanta Project video I have been to and they all have racist comments, they go to every oone of them and downgrade us. Just jealous but don't wanna admit it so just use these weak ass jabs to try to get to us.

  • @OHIOQUEEN2006 These racist folks don't just accidentally type in public housing and stumble across these videos....I don't like that shit at all. Those folks are pathetic.

  • @terminuszone1 Yes they are

  • I HAVE TO AGREE WITH EMANNJOHNSON... I HAD COUSINS IN TECHWOOD DURING THE 90'S AND THO I'M ONLY 28, I REMEMBER VISISTING AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ALWAYS SOOOO FAMILY ORIENTED... EVERYBODY KNEW ONE ANOTHA... THERE WAS DEFINITELY CRIME BUT I NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT SIDE OF TECHWOOD... 2 DAYS AGO, I MOVED FROM CENTENNIAL PLACE APTS(THE TECHWOOD REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS EXPENSIVE AS HELL) AND ON MY LAST NITE MY DAD'S TRUCK WAS BURGLARIZED... U CAN CHANGE THE IMAGE BUT NOT THE ESSENCE...

  • YA IAM PERRY HOME BABY

  • niggers! buy your own damn house

  • DAT MY MUTHAFUCKING HOOD WASN'T NOBODY SCREAMING BANKHEAD DEN CUZ WE HAD DAT SHIT ON LOCK SHOUTOUT 2 DA POSSE

  • It is of the utmost importance that we remember the way it used to be in the city in the good old days. Sure enough the violence and crime was a huge part of our lives but it wasn't the only part. Now all we have left are memories about how the city used to be but there was NOTHING like Atlanta during the 90's.

  • techwood for life duck ass niggas tell gizzel said it.

  • what was the Olympic committee thinking when they decided that Atlanta was a good city to hold the summer games?

  • big up tp perry holmes west side babe

  • Damn i remember when i was like thirteen i saw a cat get thrown off the highrise never forget it then the olympics came and they had to get them negros out of there

  • i remember the good ole days. Mr Joe gameroom. and the barber shop.i lived there to 211 pine street #427. not even thinking about how they say it was bad just remembering the fun we use to have. hanging wit my girl sonya abercrombie, lula and yella (the sisters) tasha, LAWONDA(GOD BLESS THE DEAD),and all my homegirls.

  • I grew up in techwood myself. 411 luckie street apt 8 will always be my address!!!!!! Poak salad ran my street, charles, sarge, cat-eye. All dem niccas!!!!!!

  • They knocked down pittsburgh in 2004, I was datin a chick stayed there right above the leasing office.

  • i can answer that for you techwood was the worst project in america, ask anybody from that woody

  • Can Anybody from da A answer this question which were/are da baddest projects?

  • Techwood/Clark Howell Homes, East Lake Meadows, and Perry Homes.

  • @terminuszone1 i miss my east lake RIP lil vietnam

  • Comment removed

  • Home sweet home! I personally grew up in techwood and have some sweet memories I will take with me forever. Techwood was a place a stranger didn't want to end up. Now when I go through Techwood I see white boys swinging from poles, but they don't know nothing about that woody. I will always Love Techwood. Shout out to that boy Tarvis Andrews, lil Jerry, Frederick Blue, and to everybody who played Tops Basketball.

  • i aint heard about techwood storiesbut i did hear alot ov stories bout eastlake meadows doe....all i kno a nigga frum miami told me dat dez projects had dat worst n america title 7 years n a row...said enuff rite der....da A was str8 death n old days

  • Ken30Deep, Mechanicsville stay hard and I see you repping that 30 Deep. That clique is getting hella attention in the A in 2009 from the popos and the media. I've been hearing about them for a while. I know Vernon Forrest a tough ass boxer (RIP), but why did he got up to Mechanicsville gas station at nighttime in a jag. I stopped going to that gas station when some McDaniel Glenn dudes pulled on me back in maybe 95 or 96.

  • i heard sum real horror stories bout techwood an clark howell. REAL HORROR STORIES. personally i think dey wus so grimy cause dey wus right by georgia tech an yall kno dem white folk did ANYTHING 2 get off.deez niggas wus sum REAL ANIMALS

  • it wus sum money makin niggas in da valleyand when dem niggas had beef wit thomaville jonesboro south or whoeva dem niggas squabbed deep 2gether.say wat u want bout dem valley boys.R.I.P. 2 AFRO,KNOTand DOOLY

  • mechanicsville zone 3 da most deadly project now

  • McDaniel Glenn was torn down....look at my video. It was the last days.

  • how many units did techwood have???

  • any of y'all remember when the metroplex was open down the street from techwood, sometimes mini "westside story" type of flights would happen between the white punk kids and the techwood boys.....but they ALL hated the cops.........the metroplex was close by the city right before the 88 democrat convention.

  • question, ya think congress said that techwood was the most dangerous housing project in the country just to tore it down for the olympics??? you think they would have went about it the same way if atlanta didn't get picked for the olympics???

  • naw.....it was named the most dangerous project some time before it was torn down its was named that for violent crimes ( murder, robbery,rape, etc....) but yes I fell like techwood wouldve eventually been torn down cause they tearing down all of atlanta's projects now anyway but I proberly wouldve stood a lot longer if it wasnt for the olympics

  • I honestly believe that Atlanta was trying to receive funds from the federal government to aid in Techwoods demolition. The government approves funding for the most distressed projects. The Olympics definitely expedited the process. Good point though...something to think about.

  • and the olympics brought a lot of good change to atlanta too...it did a total 360...remember how bummy parts of midtown used to look....look at it now...

  • No it was bad........some 1 got killed just about everyday & 12(police) was not coming up n there unless it was day time or they had backup. 4 me i liked it 2 a certain degree rent was like 60 bucks unless ur electric was high....I learned alot about street life and how survive in the drought (No JOB) & how to look @ both sides of the coin in life u know??? Now days i live in md & am a I.T tech 4 a large company so just cause u cum from there does not mean that u b dat....stil hustle tho..lol

  • i respect this right here. that's trill shit.

    my problem with most of the comments in here as well as others is that they look at techwood homes crime and being dangerous as a positive thing. you know...

  • str8 hood

  • Good bye techwood homes, and Hello Atlantic Station. Yippi

  • Comment removed

  • You need to lookup the Anacostia or Trinidad neighborhoods in dc.Shit is rough as fuck out there DC was labled as the city with the highest murder rate among American cities

  • Wow...I can t believe this was the first housing built in America for blacks. They look more like little apartment buildings. The housing in atlanta is made so funny.

  • This was not originally built for black folks. Techwood was originally built for poor white folks. It used to be a neighborhood called Techwood Flats- an all white ghetto (which was awful) and University Homes was originally built for poor black folks over what was called Beaver Slide, just 1 year later.

  • @terminuszone1 Oh ok.....

  • @terminuszone1 Oh ok.....

  • Atlanta has changed alot....anyone you knew how the city used to be knew you couldnt just go in a hood unless you were from it or knew someone down there the worst 3 in the city were

    Techwood (first project in America and named most dangerous in country by congress)

    East Lake (52 murders a year)

    Perry Homes

    Ay Homie do you have Thomasville, Carver Homes, Perry????

  • Na.. I will get Thomasville up here but I don't have anything on Carver or Perry Homes. I wish I did.

  • Comment removed

  • a i feel ya folk i lived on hunnicutt street myself from early 90's til they were tore down and i loved dat placed. Like the summertime, breakin into tech, playing Hank Aaron Rookie League and jus being ghetto. Rest in peace to Da Woody Land!!!

  • i been lookin fo techwood fo a while R.I.P.

  • TECHWOOD HOMES... THE FIRST PROJECT BUILT IN AMERICA... ZONE 5 DOWNTOWN Atlanta GA.. People who really KNOW the A know that the tearing down of Techwood % Clark Howell Homes because of the Olympics represents a big change in Atlanta... the city will never be like it was before the Olympics

  • I knew someone would appreciate this. People can't comprehend the seriousness of the late great Techwood/Clark Howell connection.

  • when did they knock down pittsburghapts.?

  • a couple of years ago- 2006, I think.
