What a mess.

Vibrant. 

Rough part of town.  In my opinion there’s some other areas that are just as bad though.

Nothing is as bad,trust me. 

I have multiple friends who are career cops and they said the area near Kensington and Somerset is the worst part of the city, by far. 

It's literally the largest open air drug market in the country. 

It's like Hamsterdam from The Wire

Yeah, it's a complete dumpster fire.  I'm actually surprised that video made it look somewhat tame.

I know 3 people who were found dead on the streets down there in the past few months. 

Good kids who grew up in good families. 

It's horrific. 

Check out the Kensington Beach Facebook page..... It looks like a horror movie 

is it all-inclusive ?

I didn’t really have a specific place in mind. Maybe something like the 800 block of Diamond Street.  Lol

Apologies to anyone here who lives on the 800 block of Diamond Street

north philly is still having its issues, but Kensington has taken the crown from both west and north. 

A guy has been posting these vids on youtube for a long time now, I watched a few last year.

My dad grew up in North Philly and my mom grew up in West Philly. Both left like all the other white people fleeing to the suburbs.

So it would be considered worse than Skid Row?

If the urbanites manage to ruin suburbia I'm going rural. At least 20 years out.

To be fair that was like 60 years ago.  I don’t know if you’ve ever read about how Phillies fans used to pay kids to watch their cars when they still played at Connie Mack Stadium.

It's internationally known. 

People literally travel here from all over the world because the heroin is so pure. 

LA might have more homeless because of the weather, but Kensington is considered the largest drug market

Damn that's awful

A long time ago I used to volunteer at a church down there feeding homeless people. It was freaking awful. Yet, somehow, it has become worse.

My dad is from kenzo. He took me there when i was about 12 to see it and it was an ish hole then. That looks like it might be mogadishu…

Seth Rogan says that’s just life in the big city!

Must be tough for you to have racist parents
