This city is full of drug dealers, killers and human/child sex traffickers, protected by the gangster politicians, especially the mayor!

Bpt. is not as dangerous as the old days. It's nothing compared to driving through Father Panik at night in the 70s and early 80s.

The most unsafe city in ct is probably Hartford but still nothing compared to other states

I grew up on the North End in the 70s and 80s near the Trumbull Bpt line. Best times of my life. Mostly Black middle class area. Very clean and safe area.

Born n bred in the e streets of Bpt. Conn. The era I grew up was more ruthless and the reason I promised my parents I would break the cycle and did. I had the best time growing up with a little of both raised in the hood but went to catholic school big up Blessed Sacrament St Mary’s and Kolbe Cathedral

Nope!!! My grandparents lived near Beardsley park in the 1970's. Their house got robbed once. The Only thing stolen, was their prescription drugs. They kept them on the kitchen window sill, to remind themselves to take them at certain times of day, at mealtimes I guess. Anyway. That was back in the 70's!

My whole family and me grew up entirely in the hollow and on the west on Norman and iranistan...my kids went to Columbus which is right behind the greens and my husbands fam is all from the east side...he has a huge family lol...family in the greens that just moved from there to PT about 2yrs ago...when you got to park Ave and took a right and got to park and beechwood I had friends passed on that corner but if you would have taken a left the old “sports page” bar and corner store was one of the many places to be when under age...both my parents and all their friends went to sports page when they were underage and then we all got to be teenagers me and some of my friends that were the kids of my parents friends all started going...got into a few fights over there lol then went next door to the corner store and got more 40’s to go chill after...a lot of fun and a lot of trouble lol once we got licenses we would all take turns driving around smokin and listening to music and drinking...2 of my best friends passed within 3 months of each other when we were 23...I taught her how to drive standard in her driveway going back and forth lmao getting whiplash and when it got dark enough we would go down to seaside and drive around at night so she could actually practice more than just 1st gear and reverse lmao we all had so much fun...so many things have changed in bpt but the memories will always be there... I could write a book just about all the fun, crazy ridiculous shit we did just driving around bpt...I’m sure so many others can say the same...I had a friend when I was in high school and she was from Ansonia and her mom loved me but told her that she was not allowed under any circumstances to come to bpt...she came down 1night and we all went down to this corner store on Park Ave going down to Seaside right before you go under the train tracks and right before we were about to get out of the car somebody started shooting at people on the other corner and she cam near had a panic attack...that was her FIRST and LAST time ever coming to visit lol

I've seen nearly a dozen tours of Bridgeport and to be frank, this was not a pleasure to watch - it was so repetitive, looking at almost nothing but numerous side streets of triple decker houses. I'm guessing the cinematographer stayed in this small area preferring a short visit not far from I-95. It would be nice if one of these tours would venture to Seaside Park, the gem of the city and the only public beach on the "Gold Coast" that has a 2.5 mile road along the sand & water which wasn't mostly bought up by the rich as in the other towns. As far as crime goes, New Haven and Hartford have higher violent crime rates than Bridgeport and CT has a lower crime rate than the national average at 3.9 versus 6.5 per 100K.

Them: this is a dangerous city. Also them: drives in school zone, which is almost at every part of Bridgeport

Had a business in the Hollow for 24 years. The Greens housing was and still is, one of the most dangerous places in Bridgeport.

@@stever7157 Bridgeport used to be a port for soldiers coming come from wars so it was once more of a historic place. Now monuments have been hacked up over the years by crackheads for scrap metal and many old buildings burned to the ground over the years. Philly is nastier for sure but honestly I don’t think either is any more dangerous or worse than the other at the end of the day.

There are some really beautiful neighborhoods in Bridgeport that you should record instead of only showing the bad. We have black rock which is the majority white neighborhood that borders Fairfield and is pretty trendy and artsy, you have Brooklawn which is a mixed single family and multi residential neighborhood( where I was born and raised) which is pretty nice, and then the north end and north sides which are your typical middle class neighborhoods with modest single family homes( ranches, colonials, and capes) with the two cars parked in every home and minimal crime. You should try and highlight those neighborhoods more often. It frustrates me how people only highlight the bad in Bridgeport and then wonder why it doesn’t get any better. Honestly ask yourself who’s going to want to move here or invest here if all they hear is bad things.

Bridgeport is the most populated in CT. It is also the 5th most populated in New England. This video captures none of the beauty of the city

See what is happening in Kensington in Philly. Much better in BP

Lower East Main Street. Graduated from Harding. Left bpt in 1976. I walked thru FPV to get to. school. I went to Franklin School and had home ec at Waltersville. Hung out at Maraczi's and The Greeks and Seaside Park. I am white as if that means anything. So tired of people putting down my birthplace. Try New Haven. It sucks. Hartford is 10 times worse. Where do you live? Lily white Fairfield? You snob. If it is so bad how did you get out alive? You people in the burbs use to come to my city to get your drugs. You had money to buy tgem. Bigger drug problems in Ffld Trumbull The Valley and Stratford. I grew up with both good and bad. Mostly good hard working people.

When I lived there in the early 70s it was known as the armpit of Connecticut. Hasn't gotten better! Btw, we could walk around downtown and have no fears. Wouldn't do that now!
