The Shocking Emptiness Of Rural GEORGIA: Forsaken Towns Time Has Left Behind
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.
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.
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
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)
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 🙏 ❤️🩹🇺🇸
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.
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😅
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.
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.

Ive said it before but this channel shows what most of America actually looks like outside of the dozen or two major cities.
Bonaventure Cemetary outside of Savannah is just as beautiful as the city, especially when the azaleas are blooming in the Spring.
There’s a reason why this is all happening.
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
Best video ever, especially at the Beautiful Catholic Church, thankyou ! 🙏🏻🥰👏🏼
Cordele. Pronounced, Core-Deal.
Hi Joe, if I may ask what is the drone you use on your channel. Love watching. Thank you Phil
57% I know why you said it feels Spooky now.😂
Omg I haven’t been home in 5 years, I’m so happy to see Savannah!
Used to shoot pool at that billiards spot in Cordele, miss the scrambled dogs.

Strange, why is there no people running around….
They still have some separate Proms in Ga…..
I believe Crime is what destroyed this town.
Back in the 80s and 90s, the city of Cordell had one of the highest percentage of AIDs patients in the nation.
What recording gear do you use?

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

This is so cool! I'm going to visit all these places in 2026
In Florida old Big Boats end up in Titusville. Old cars end up in Georgia.

If you had all the man cave signs you've claimed, the cave would be made of nothing more than signs.

Awesome trip around Georgia Joe! So interesting. Tell Nic her hair , coat ,shoes are on fire once again! 😊😊😊
New Camara, beautiful ❤

The demographics in Cordele speaks volumes about the crime rates. You can't acknowledge it without backlash so shut up.
i bet the value went down since yesterday, lol
Hi Nicole and Joe. The food is awesome and a wonderful place as well. Thank you.
(Savannah here) The bench is the movie Forrest Gump was a movie prop and never really existed
look at all them parking spaces! it's heaven!
Saw your cat running around the corner of the Cordele university.
In the early 70s I was stationed at Ft. Benning for some training. My weekends were spent driving all over that beautiful state.
Depends what drove the local economy, I am in ga and my area is fairly rural but thriving.
The only thing that's wrong with George is there a blue state😅😅😅
Thanks for taking us with you!❤ best wishes from Cologne🤘😎🎸
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
I forget what we used to call it but it wasn't called Spanish Moss, we had another name for it

Cool, find me some bandos to fly since I live in GA

Where is everyone….anyone?
