3 Reviews & Comments About Camden
I don't why this c**p came recommended but all I have to say is that some of that stuff said about Camden is not true. I've lived there for a long time, trust me, there's a lot of people bringing drugs into the city so they can frame the people living there. There's no dna testing truck, I've been to each part of Camden and there hasn't been a single one. The education is fine for me, like I got accepted into a high stats art school and so many others that go to that school had gotten a free college scholarship!!
I live in Camden the city all he showed were the worst streets we have, take an actual look at Camden. The beautiful churches, our hospitals, and our community as a whole, not just some statistics.
I was born in camden nj. In 1968. Grew up in magnolia not too far from camden. Im in va. Now. and my youngest gransons name is Camden. Lol true story.
