Oh my god! I went home to visit and where I grew up is ruined!

Is your hometown in bad shape? Email me and let's talk about it! NickJohnsonNC18@gmail.com

San Bernardino, once a blue-collar town with a solid middle class, has become the poorest and most dangerous city in California. I see a lot of the comments from people who say - you spend a lot of time driving around, showing everyone rundown America. Where are you from? Why don’t you pick on YOUR home town.

Every time I come home, I see something new. I’m here for one reason or another about once a year, and I always like to drive around and check things out. Kinda go up and down old neighborhoods on a nosy safari. It used to be that you’d have to go out of your way to see rundown and ghetto here. Not anymore.

I think most of the people who grew up here stay away from the worst parts of San Bernardino. There’s really no reason to be in some of these areas. A lot of it’s just blight, poverty and drugs.
If you know the area, you’d remember that San Bernardino was a really nice place to live back in the day. In the 50s and 60s, this was America at its finest. Cruisin USA. It’s an hour east of LA, where you could have a nice upper middle class life. McDonalds began here. Taco Bell began here. The Rolling Stones played their first concert here.

San Bernardino wasn’t an upscale place, and there weren’t a lot of high end white collar jobs. But with the railroads and manufacturing plants and the air force base in town, the gettin was good.
