You might think Detroit is the worst place to live in Michigan. But it's little Benton Harbor. In this video, I explored another rust belt tragedy.

Oh and by the way, they weren't up early my friend... they just hadn't gone to bed yet.

No work boots were harmed during the making of this video

19:30. Casually runs stop sign in a low key panic. 😂

I’m a middle class white guy at the edge of Philly. We have two incomes, and both of us work an extra PT job. It’s hard to maintain a mortgage, utilities, repairs, upgrades, kids, vehicles etc. I get it. I can only imagine the reality of a person who grows up with an unstable family, bad education, lack of support and role models etc.

Nothing is built, nothing is back, nothing is better.

I just sent this video to Benton Harbor city council.

Your driving around in a Grand Wagoner in the hood and your wondering while people are looking at you? You might as well be driving a Lamborghini. Those Jeeps are expensive .

I live about 20 miles from Benton harbor and all that you said is very true. About 50 years ago it wasn't to bad but I never go over there. St. Joe is a really nice place to go. The Mall was really nice and we used to shopping there. Yes Benton harbor they call little Detroit. You're lucky you made it out alive.

It’s a Shame to say but this is the future of America…

A while back, my wife and I went to a wedding in St. Joes and decided to stay in Benton Harbor to save money. We thought: how bad can it be? Well, a lot worse than we thought. We were supposed to stick around and do things the next day, but we left at 4am and got as far away as possible.

Something I have noticed over my years is that there are two areas where people are outside: the projects/ghettos/poor areas and then strangely enough, the wealthy high end neighborhoods. The wealthy run in sports bras, walk their boujee dogs on super nice walking paths, and lots of people outside. Then in poor areas (personal experience lol)it’s mostly people hustling, getting into something, and just waiting for something to happen. There’s a huge in between those where people aren’t outside as much.

Here's the travesty with Benton Harbor...it is really close to South Haven, which is an AMAZING and lively city. So nice, so clean, a great atmosphere. And then you have Benton Harbor. It's crazy.

You never come to a complete stop in a hood like that and certainly never ever get out the car. Holy hell man be safer.

I'm getting old but I remember when the black side of town had families with a mom and dad and kids. They always went to church on Sunday and looked after themselves and their neighborhood. Dad worked and mom took care of the kids. Look at what we have today.

Sketchiest I've ever encountered, Hartford Connecticut at 2am. Lost in the hood, every street corner packed with people staring at me, street lights all out. Made my way to a McDonalds and a cop said "boy, what the hell are you doing here?!" he escorted me back to the highway north so I wouldn't die. Good times!

I'm a Rideshare Driver from Chicago and occasionally around Midwest. And been driving around Chicago for last 6 years, never gotten physical assaulted from riders until I got one incident at Benton Harbor at 2021 where I got followed and threatened, feared for my life that I had to get Berrien County Sheriff involved and filed police report, DO NOT Drive Rideshare or do deliveries at Benton Harbor.

Man you are crazy driving around solo without a police escort. Even more hilarious commentary than usual. I was very depressed after seeing how destroyed my former hometowns in Illinois and Pennsylvania had become and that was ten years ago. Your videos make it clear that much of America is in a death spiral.

I grew up in The Harbor!, Graduated HS went to the Army and never went back! Horrible place to live and grow up in!

EVERYONE keeps staring at me! , said the dude in a brand new $100K Jeep that's worth more than many of the houses he's passing. Get a 2004 Ford Taurus or something next time, otherwise the video isn't very genuine if you're in a new Grand Wagoneer.
