The Shocking Emptiness Of Rural GEORGIA: Forsaken Towns Time Has Left Behind

I visited these rural Georgia towns: Abbeville, Rochelle, Cordele & Leslie. Later in the video, Nicole & I visit the very busy, historic city of Savannah.

  1. Ive said it before but this channel shows what most of America actually looks like outside of the dozen or two major cities.

  2. Bonaventure Cemetary outside of Savannah is just as beautiful as the city, especially when the azaleas are blooming in the Spring.

  3. The Death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Was

    The beginning of the countdown of Jesus's return

    Back to earth to Rapture the souls of his church

    Pray & Talk with Jesus today. Time may be running out

  4. You missed the sign in front of the courthouse the talks about the Spanish explorers passing through Abbeville.
    Others almost dead towns in the area are pineview, pinehurst, Unadilla just some it comes to mind. I live within 30 minutes of all this towns. Really peaceful and people are really great around here. I’m a dark skinned immigrant from South America. And had never had a problem with anyone in the almost 10 years of living in the area. Love this place.

  5. Back in the 80s and 90s, the city of Cordell had one of the highest percentage of AIDs patients in the nation.

  6. lol I worked for Citizens Telecommunications (Telecom Engineer) in Dallas circa 1997 and our customer base was rural towns. My area was upstate NY, there are some rural areas in NY that most people have never seen. Thanks for that shot 27:54 memories

  7. Interesting there’s a town of the same name in South Carolina: an old mill town. Wonder if any connection to that town?

  8. Never in my life have I seen such poverty as when I've had to travel down south. The levels of poverty and idleness was shocking to me (and I'm from the Bronx)

  9. You can thank Walmart for this economic disaster area they are responsible for the closure of more independent family owned businesses than any single cause in the history of capitalism and or American business. Boycott Walmart or shut up thank you 🙏 ❤️‍🩹🇺🇸

  10. Not shown in Cordele was the beautiful Crisp Regional Hospital and go down 16th Ave where all the businesses. You need to show the better area of these towns. Get someone that knows all about these areas.

  11. First of all I love love love love love your videos! Just curious… What time of day and day of the week do you usually go to these cities they always look like ghost towns😅

  12. Another interesting and enjoyable video, Thank you! You missed the Mercer house from “ midnight in the garden of good and evil “

  13. The demographics in Cordele speaks volumes about the crime rates. You can't acknowledge it without backlash so shut up.

  14. In the early 70s I was stationed at Ft. Benning for some training. My weekends were spent driving all over that beautiful state.

  15. Depends what drove the local economy, I am in ga and my area is fairly rural but thriving.

  16. I don't know what part he is in but it is not abandoned. He wasn't even on the main road.when he said it was abandoned

  17. I forget what we used to call it but it wasn't called Spanish Moss, we had another name for it

  18. If only you had turned right at the end of the downtown strip by "the awesome bar" in Cordele, you would have come across a great covered viewing area for rail fanning. There are three railroads that converge right there and they even have a speaker with the conductors radio traffic piped in so you'll know how far away they are. That is the best part of Cordele.

  19. Everywhere you ever go is always 'shockingly empty'.
    I find this truly bizarre.
    Where is everyone….anyone?
    The cats do their best in cutting back a bit on the lack of existence.
    I don't know. Do you film in some weird post apocalyptic alternate universe?
    Or maybe it's just a better thing that no one can ever be found in these areas.
