Canton used to be a great city back in the 70 and 80s

Thanks for the work you do. These videos are important to document what is happening here.

I used to be in a band with a guy from North Canton and he always made it a point to stress the "North" part.

Please consider my hometown of Springfield OH as a filming location. In the words of the landlord in Coming to America: *"Its a real shit-hole. You'll love it."* 😂

Canton, Ohio is also where President William McKinley is buried. His mausoleum is on a hill across the highway from the Football Hall of Fame.

Where are the real bad parts of Canton , I live in CLE and want to see them at some point Just to compare them to CLE

I’m liking these Ohio videos! Good job!

Rain sleet or snow, there's nowhere where CharlieBo won't go.

Another great video. I'll have to look up which industries left and how the city might be trying to fill the gap. Aside from being poignant, the videos usually end up being the lead into further learning. Thanks.

My hometown! I never realized how hard my upbringing was until I moved away and would tell people my stories of growing up my friends would be like wtf that’s Canton? 😂 We had nothing to do but run the streets, smoking and drinking, partying etc.. Now I’m in New Orleans and seeing how these kids grew up here we didn’t have it so bad. For the size Canton is crazy as hell but it was waaay worse growing up.

@@KettleBell-se7wl as someone who grew up in Canton I don’t find it as bad as others. Especially after living in Toledo, Cleveland and Detroit. Canton sees less than 10 homicides a year. It’s not perfect but it’s not horrible either. The worst thing about Canton to me is the mentality of some people not the crime. Small town mentality.

This you for sharing keep on sharing because this is 2024 and we are coming to OHIO this year 2024❤❤❤ thank you

This about what it looked like 2005 when we went for a job interview.

Traveling through the oldest, worst part of town. You can make any city look bad with the right video locations.

I was born in Canton July 14, 1955, I finally left Canton in 2000 as I had enough of what Canton had become. At that time 14 known "Gangs" had been identified by the Canton Police and were openly operating. I had a good friend who lived across the street from a "Whore house" that operated 24 hrs.a day, he called the Police multiple times and they did nothing. Crime was and is out of control there, carjackings, drugs and all manner of Gang activities. There was a clash between two Gangs in Canton Center Mall that turned into a riot throughout the entire Mall and another Gang war in the Downtown area Hotel " The Hilton" that took officers from the Stark County Sheriff Dept., the Canton Police and Ohio State Troopers to bring under control. I had to get out and I never looked back. I loved Canton when I was a kid, it was safe and a wonderful place to raise a family which was long before Stark County in general took a "Nose dive into the dumpster". I could go on but I won`t..........

Hey for those of us who used to live there, would be nice if you mentioned the street names as you cross them.

So many memories of going to Canton, especially with my dad to watch the Canton Akron Aeros (now the Rubber Ducks) play. Please please please can you film in Salem, Ohio? I was born there and haven't been back since 2002. I'd love to see how it looks now.

So many memories here 😍

Canton was a factory town back then as football teams were company owned (Acme Packers) and its a factory town now, there are just much fewer factories now

once in a while I come in here to roast the titles because theyre all catchy, like "most dangerous" and such. But this title is amazing because it highlights the city in a positive note amongst the poor areas shown in the video. So, kudos for that one CharlieBo

Thank you

Bleak, Akron Canton is so bleak. It took me most of a lifetime to get out. The last time I went back it really set in on me just how glad I was to get out. Rust, impermeable gray skies, salt on everything. So quietly sad.

Just curious to why you have chosen to show only these particular areas of Canton?

@CharlieBo313

5 ай бұрын

Don't be curious. Look at the type of channel you're watching. This is a niche channel that shows mostly run down, dilapidated, abandoned inner city areas. I show these kind of areas everywhere I go and people even request places.

I am from canton ohio did you go to shobb Ave

One sided. Canton has plenty of nice homes in all 4 sections of the city. It's the birthplace of the Roller Bearing, which makes the world go around, the ATM machine and the Bloody Mary. Where is Benders, the Sparta, Kennedys BBQ, Taggarts Ice Cream? And while it took time, both McKinley and Lehman have been restored and repurposed. Consider that hardy souls, who can handle the 4 seasons, have opportunities to buy incredible homes and buildings, full of hardwood and leaded glass, all these towns should make material retailers closer . Downtown is not perfect, but is much improved and also not show. Thank you.

❤❤❤💞

Typical city affected by economic decline, a few Chevy Caprice and BMW worth more than the house of their owners but nothing too bad. It has not gone full Lord of the Flies: Congo Edition yet and hopefully never will.

It would be nice if you would show street signs or explain where you’re at !!!

Maybe people spending thousands of hours during their life watching people run, jump and knock each other down has something to do with it??
