I use to live in Grenada when I worked on the railroad pretty nice little town,i miss it 😢
Hello.....I'm from ruleville mississippi.....shout out to you love.......mississippi is all the way beautiful wether it's the delta or down south jackson or on the coast it's all around beautiful
i left Grenada Mississippi in 1975 at 15 years, old nice to see my old movie house on union street. thank you for this video on Grenada
You're welcome
I really enjoy your channel young lady I'm a new subscriber but do your self a favor mention your station more in your introduction, god bless, btw I was born in Greenwood 74 years ago, and I really miss those good old days
Thank you for sharing these videos! I love seeing this part of the nation. I'm on the east coast, close to Washington, D.C. but originally born and raised in NYC. I'm very familiar with areas like these from traveling to the South to vacation and to see family/friends in North and South Carolina, respectively. Also, a lot of times homes look much better on the inside, so we can't judge a book by its cover.
I appreciate buildings of all styles and ages. Those small wooden homes have character and charm. The people in them might be the salt of the earth , and people in the bigger rich ones might be someone that wouldn’t give you the time of day.
It's funny you commented that...I actually said that in the video and then I deleted it because I thought maybe I was getting too far off topic or going into a controversial topic. Thanks as I second that
Well said my friend.
That’s true your financial status doesn’t determine who or what you are. Having said that in this day and age I wouldn’t bet on it.
I grew up in a town 20 miles south of there. The pizza hut and movie theatre at 20:40 was where I went on a first date way back in the 80's. There are some nice residential neighborhoods in Grenada which are not shown in this video.
We also have big mansions down here i forgot what road they’re on not to far from the hospital it’s down a long road they’re glass houses so pretty🥰
I lovedeeeee the commentary ❤❤❤
Thank you! 💙
My Dad is From the Town , Mccuiston Family is Our Family there . Dad lives in Arkansas. Where He and Mom raised Us .
Your doing a great job
Dang it’s crazy watching this I used to live in that shotgun house towards the beginning of the video when I was in like head start. It’s almost like I don’t even remember it looking like that. I remember when those hotels used to be jumpin, jumpin. Shoneys used to have the breakfast buffet on Wednesday nights, we used to hit it up damn near every week.
Woww I remember coming threw here as a child, I got into a car accident while I was there for a wedding, i'm going to tell my mama to come look at the video
All of those hotels are supposed to be demolished to make way for new businesses, but they are taking way to long to do it. One explanation I got was that they were trying to salvage all of the recyclable materials out of them instead of just dozing them and sending it all to the dump. They were all up and running probably no more than 4-5 years ago. One had a fire several years ago and part was remodeled and opened back up as a budget line hotel. We have lost about 4 hotels in the last decade, but added at least three in the last two decades.
I'm from Mississippi now in Alabama. I would love for you to do a video of my home town Duck Hill, Mississippi
It looks like that town is stuck in time as if time have passed it by, but I am enjoy the video
You are good at what you do!!
Thank you!
Hello Lee ,❤️ Happy Valentines Day . I’d go anywhere, with you. We would make it happen. Y’all a straight hustler. So proud of you. Make it happen.😊
Thank you! Happy V Day to you too and you're so kind. 💙
Grenada is a nice town and I raise my family there and have a lot of families that live in Grenada now I now live in Memphis TN
I own 4 of those little houses. Not quite that small different shapes and sizes, but small bigger than those. The taxes are cheap. The stuff is mine and I'm proud of it. I'm not slaving away my whole life. I have a very good savings and a whole lot of Raw land
I never want to put my eggs in one basket.
And besides that, who am I try to impress? I
The next gold digger, who's gonna clean me out like the last one did.
Are you renting out those homes
those first 2 hotels dont look that old !! thats crazy..
Grenada is still thriving and replacing the old with the new.
My mother's mom, and my mom's aunts and uncles were raised in Granada. I told my husband that I wanted to go there and visit some of the black cemeteries to see if i could find my great grandparents graves
You are one of the best content creators when it comes to driving through towns my family is from Grenāda they picked cotton and everything. That name Lynch made me cringe every time you said it he was one the meanest slave owners ever
We have desert cities that look like this when you’re driving 3-4 hours outside the city in CA. Honestly it’s not that bad.
Those homes look like slave houses from back in the day. I saw some just like them in a video a guy did on slave houses in the south. Most of these places look like they’re stuck in the 40, 50 and 60’s. It’s hard to get people to want to move there when their families left so long ago. My family was in Greenwood MS. I remember my grandmother saying she would never go back south and hearing some of the things that happened made me never want to visit and I never have and I know that’s probably not understandable to some people but you know what you know is not for you.
I agree, alot of these places look outdated, it shouldn't be this way for this many years but it will take action for anything to change. I'm an open-minded person, I'm one of the people that do understand.
Autozone, Dollar General, Pizza Hut, Grand Palace restaurant and the movie theater still reside at the original location.
2:54 - Shotgun Shacks? That is sort of what this style looks like.
Grenada is the town that smiles because its so corrupt! Luckily you made it out. No joke
Wow look at those old shotgun houses!
I'm glad I'm from Jackson ms
You should have more likes. You mentioned street names and what part of town unlike some people in other cities
Thunder on water in June bring a lot of people
Grenada elementary used to be the #1 school
We Eat at the Apple Bee's every time We go . Stay in that Hotel close to Walmart.
Applebees is good, I get the same thing every time.
I agree ,So do I . I get the chicken something with a Mexican rice and sauce on top of the rice and chicken . Delicious@@InTheseStreetz
Do you currently live in Grenada,MS ?
Hey, no
Make sure you come back and show the GREAT parts of Grenada! I see this is 8 months ago! Give us a bit and come back! It’s going up! Still, you didn’t show good parts of Grenada! So please come back!
I will definitely be back, I see they have made a lot of changes since I was first there. I am giving them more time to finish some things. QuickTrip is supposed to come there too but I don't think they set a date yet. Also, if there are specific areas, you'd like me to capture next time around, drop it in the comment section.
I really don't want to look at the old run down building up close and personal, I personally want to see just a glimpse of it.
Cleaning cl tower looks same
I lived there 9 years
Some people don't have a choice of the matter Ms! The houses that you did show are owned by slum lords. You can't get them to clean the houses before you move in but they get first and last month's rent. Holes in the floors you can see outside. The clock building was the bread house first about 45 years old. This is on City of Grenada hand's. City Hall and the Mayor. No one cares about the poor people. Anyone can come to this state and get jobs better than the people who live there and you don't know them. You need to go uptown to the square and tell me what you think 🤔🤔🤔.
Appreciate you getting out of the house 😂
Lol no problem
Is this a Pandemic Aftermath
Yes it is an aftermath. The Shoney's Restaurant had good food and was very popular & clean. Now a Dentist Office.
I drove through Grenada couple of years ago- they will run you over
Unfortunately, you’re only showing the worst areas of Grenada. Consider circling back and actually exploring the city.
All the worst parts are shown
I don’t understand why you want to be going up in all of these private property dilapidated motels, trespassing to show something that is of no interest except to maybe real estate investors. I thought you were going to show the town.
Hello, everything shown in these videos is a part of the town. I will say for this particular video, it had to be cut short due to the rain and all of the town is not shown. I will re-do Grenada as they have made changes since this video.
These videos may not be for everyone but there is an audience for what is being shown.
To show how we as blacks had to make it back then. I appreciate it because I never been in the south
