I don't care what anyone says, these "ghettos" are the result of all the manufacturing being shipped out of the country. It pisses me off every time I buy something that used to be made here. The prices are the same, it's just the corporations are making a fatter profit by exploiting labor. These corporate bigwigs should be told that if you make it elsewhere, you go sell it elsewhere. Unbelievable that they get away with destroying the middle class communities, then ship their products back here to sell. So fed up with hearing that tired old "get a job" line, when there are obviously no f-ing jobs around except low pay, no benefit crap jobs that get you nowhere.

The oldest Mardi Gras celebration in the U.S. is in Mobile; not New Orleans.

I live in Mobile, not in the hood but not far from there. Everybody talking about how dead it looks, it's because it was freakin' freezing that day everybody is indoors except the die hard Mardi Gras fans. Drive through in the summer and there will be a whole lot more people out and about.

My city... My neighborhood. That area is called the Bottoms. It actually used to be like black wall street before integration. Thriving businesses, Central High ans Albert Owens Elementary. Thanks Thurgood Marshall for destroying my neigborhood. I left there in 1991 and joined the Navy. Also Sachel Page, Hank Aron are from that neighborhood, along with my cousin singer Eric Benet.

Mobile almost looks like Detroit in a way

most people are nice, there just poor, this is no diffrent than any where else in the country, thank charlieBo313 for showing the way our country REALLY IS..and thank him for not yapping over the vids, I like that.

Those boarded up houses everyone keeps mentioning are actually the Projects. This is how projects in small southern towns/cities look. Brick duplexes.

Another great video. Damn, you sure do get around!!!

You found the Foreclosure Hood. As a white, middle-aged male pool player - I've been everywhere and always felt at home in Mobile. The city is very segregated but I've partied with the best of both races and never had any problems. This neighborhood does not give an accurate representation of the city as a whole.

"Throw some D's on it."

The second part of the video was filmed in Birdville. It was originally housing for soldiers assigned to Brookley Air Force . BAF was closed in 1967. the homes were bought by Mobile Housing Board and rented out to low income tenants. It is still owned by Mobile Housing board but the tenants have all been relocated because Airbus has a plane assembly in BAF property now and these homes will soon be demolished. they are not Foreclosures! There is also talk of relocating our airport to the Brookley site.With that the property is more valuable re-purposed.

My Grandparents on my Moms side are from this town - shouts out to MOBILE,AL. Of course there are "better/nicer" areas of the city. However  the video is titled Moble,AL Hoods/Mardi Gras.

Go to Prichard, Alabama outside of Mobile. Go to downtown Mobile and show the beautiful homes.

So how was the oldest mardi gras in the US??? Keep the great vids coming & get back east to PGH

Aint nothing like the HOOD....LUV THIS SHIT....KEEP EM COMING FAM💯💯

I seriously don't care what anyone says. Mobile Alabama is the worst place anyone could possibly live. If you want anything out of live or just to stay alive, get the hell out of there.
