Another vote for that really rough section of 5th Ward. Never seen anything else like that in Houston. I got lost one day just trying to find my way back to I-10 and couldn't believe my eyes driving through there.

Freeport St is more third world than some of the areas yall are talking about.

man I love Google Maps street view for allowing me to visit these fine places from the comfort of my office.
Man, how many Google van drivers did they lose driving up and down each one of those streets.
"Here's the deal, you're going to drive a car/van with a big dome looking thing on it up and down every street in the 5th Ward. Good luck."

Here's a pic of me playing catch in front of it with my father.
Will vouch for cloverleaf. used to chase guys from the city out there from off uvalde.
i tried searching for the thread earlier to no avail, but there is an old thread about the most thoed stretches of road in the tine
Here's a ward map:

The Bloody Nickel is the worst . I went flippin off lockewood one day and and found myself on mars.
extex-that map is 'tad' outdated. but it is pretty cool to look and see which street names are still the same and which ones have been changed.

I am surprised nobody said inside Elgin, Scott, Wheeler, and 5.
Enigma, those are some really cool maps. Lots of things that I didn't know, like Rice being labeled as Rice Institute, Buff Stadium as 'Bucsh Stadium' and Hobby as Houston International
Its also interesting see Houston just explode over the years.

didnt see that
I work at Freeport and 10. Always strapped

Which, according to my old man, led to the nickname "Rooty-Toot Institute".
Being son of a working class family in the Heights in the 50's (which was not quite as ghetto as it would become, but near as upscale as it is now) he did not have a high opinion of the place. Bit of a class thing I believe.
I had not realized IAH was that old. It was under construction in 1965.

"drive" down the streets in the 5th ward and see how many people are looking at the camera with suspicious eyes. i would only agree to that if i had bullet proof windows.
this is off breckenridge near jenson:

that stretch of Jensen north of I-10 is really bad. always a lot of activity around there. would love to be a fly on the wall (not a white one) at nightime in that "domino shack". always a few crackheads twitching int the middle of some of those intersections.
I just realized that you can right click on google street view and enable 3D mode.

Not sure if somebody nominated this intersection yet, but using google street view I located the most ghetto intersection. It's in the nickle, on one corner there is a Popeyes, across the street is a Churches, on the other side is an Ace Cash Express and on the fourth corner is an illegal gambling hall. FTMFW I present to you Jensen at Collingsworth:

MBL, you have to click on the "get link" button to get the right link. All you are doing is posting my link that takes you to the same place I posted.

it's either puking or a nasty snot rocket.
Cloverleaf is pretty bad, but I gotta put Denver Harbor and that area up there too.
Also, can't remember the street name but it's south of I-10 East and intersects the road that goes to the Washburn tunnel. That whole area is thoed.

i do find it amusing that yall find the most ghetto parts of Houston to be where i work. who wants to do a ride along and get up close and personal w/ some of these fine Houstonians?
