I taped this going westbound, toward downtown, on E. Livingston Avenue in inner city Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008. Hope Santa was good to all kids, in the burbs, in the country, and in the ghetto.

@The94bloc I'm sure there is crime in Hawaii. There is a lot of money that comes in and out of Hawaii. The midwest and south have definitely gotten worse through the last century, especially the midwest due to steel mills, factories and industries leaving the country.

Ah now i see, the activity goes on off of the main road. Believe it or not Hawaii does have ghetto places, state housings where the action is so intense where they put a curfew on the gates (they lock after a certain time). We have those places where there's no delivery (pizza, furniture, even mail) because of beatings, murders, and armed robberies. They keep it under wraps because they want the tourists to keep coming.

@The94bloc Hawaii? Psh, dude, you wouldn't want to walk down this street alone or preferably, without some cold steel. Livingston is a main road in Columbus, all the gang activity goes on when you turn off of Livingston, where there is less public access.  It was a good neighborhood in the 50s and 60s. looks are very decieving.

Idk i never looked it up or heard about this place, but it seems like it only "looks" ghetto. I don't see people out in the streets. and projects have a lot of cars, this place looks empty, we have places in hawaii that looks worse than that.
