My ex-husband used to live in Baldwin Hills in southwest Los Angeles.
Or either he just used to go to the mall there — I don’t know. There’s a reason he’s my ex.
When I first saw preview video clips of the new reality TV show called Baldwin Hills, I knew it would be interesting.
Then I check popular search terms today and see that everybody and their mama is searching for info about Baldwin Hills online.
So BET has done pretty good by putting nearly full episodes of Baldwin Hill online to watch — just click the “more” link on their site beneath each episodes and let each segment play past the “want more” interruption and “play again” prompt. They’ll continue till you’ve nearly seen the full episode.
Plus they’ve got information about the Baldwin Hills cast, message boards where people can gripe about Baldwin Hills, a Baldwin Hills episode guide, a little backstory about the “Golden Ghetto,” and a bit more about the Baldwin Hills show.
I, for one, always wanted to live in a place like this: somewhere with a good number of well-to-do black people that is still racially integrated and diverse.
Is this where Johnny Cochran lived? Or Cheviot Hills? Is that the same place?
I remember seeing a 20/20 special or other news magazine program showing Cochran pulling his Jaguar into the garage, and they mentioned he lived in an exclusive, nearly all-black neighborhood — and I’ve been curious ever since.
Does a neighborhood like this exist in Ohio?
Either way, watching Baldwin Hills is refreshing. It’s great to see blacks doing well and speaking well and living well with varied interests, not all painted with the same hip-hop stroke.
