Spent a lot of time in Aberdeen . My dads childhood home and my grandparents lived there till they passed away . Every Christmas week growing up was there and many other occasions . I learned to drive a car in that town , so many memories
My parents talked about Aberdeen when I was growing up, but we never visited there. I think we may have had family there at one time. Neat little town.
I googled Bukka White and Aberdeen Mississippi Blues, an amazing video came up spelled “Booker” . He played a Dobro but used strumming and amazingly tapping techniques. 🎼
That's the old U.S. Highway 45 Bridge .... During the early 1980s, the Corps of Engineers straightened and rerouted the river as part of the Tenn-Tom project, and a new 4-lane span was constructed over the new waterway to serve U.S. 45 and Mississippi Highway 8 .... You'll see the same situation in Columbus, MS, where old U.S. Highway 82 (now Highway 182) was split by the new channel of the river, creating an island just west of Columbus.
Odd goings on these days. The cities are a mess and the small historic towns are often empty. Aberdeen and Columbus are two of my favorites. Such stunning old buildings-
As someone who has recently moved to Aberdeen its cool that you did this video . Compared to other small towns Aberdeen has a very robust "main street" essence the Phoniex store just had a fire recently and that is why it was all boarded up.
Nice to see you’re back in Mississippi. I’ve been all through the State, but never visited Aberdeen. At one time, I had family all the way from Corinth to Gulfport.
Interesting stuff... Just think how busy this place may have been in it's hay day... I wonder if there used to be alot of neon signs at night back in the day....there will never be new small towns like this again... Times are a changing... must have gotten a lot of steps in that day.... Thanks for sharing... Take care... Have a great day.... thanks...👍👍
Really great video Micah! Love these little small towns and loved the tribute to Howlin' Wolf (being a fan myself) On a side note, I am looking to get to Athens Georgia to visit the hometown of my favourite band (REM) and this video rekindled my interest in making it happen!
Movie theater is shows movies, main St ascoation bought the old hotel and got rid of tenn Tom end part and plans on restoring the original hotel. Depo owned by main st ascoation and was rebuilt. Visitor center in place of old gulf oil station. Should went to historical area.
Bedsides the blues musicians being from there - I think the Tom Bigbee Inn was famous and there’s lots of historical value including Cotton and at one point it was the largest city in Mississippi
It is interesting that you stood in front of the oldest business in the state - run by the same family for 7 generations - and showed businesses that were closed. So many vibrant business and a town that is trying very hard to improve. I am sure you will remove this comment, but you did this town a terrible disservice by not showing both sides of the street.

Left that place in 02’….still looks depressing ☹️
LOVED it 💚

I was just out skating today, and Aberdeen Blues by Bukkah White came on my playlist, then I get home and see this. Cool.
Very cool! Bukkah is awesome! Great playlist you have there!

If you are town again do a architectural tour of the town. We live on what it referred to a silk stocking row. And the theater does still show movies
I grew up in Pearl, MS ... just east of Jackson. I need to find a way to DM you. We'll compare notes. :)
Know pearl very well. Grew up in Flowood & Jackson! Message me on Instagram or email Worldofmicah88@gmail.com
@@worldofmicah I just DMed you on IG. I had bunch of friends in Flowood. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Great video. Tks!
Love seeing those small towns. Reminds me of growing up in Baltimore.
Nice to see you’re back in Mississippi. I’ve been all through the State, but never visited Aberdeen. At one time, I had family all the way from Corinth to Gulfport.
Wow that’s a chunk
Of the state! Been to Corinth many times
Love these type vlogs!! Just love going back in time and reliving some of the “good old days!!” Thanks Micah!!
Love the look of Aberdeen. It is quieter than most place I am familiar with, Quiet can be very good!
The Tombigbee Inn was not the name of the older building. The Inn was torn down. The older building was the Park Hotel.

So many closed businesses... I love the looks of that old, movie theater. What a great exploration, Micah. I love this type of video. 👏🌞🌈
You should visit Etowah, Tennessee.

A great amount of interesting history

I have no idea why, but I have heard about Aberdeen. Is it famous for anything?
Bedsides the blues musicians being from there - I think the Tom Bigbee Inn was famous and there’s lots of historical value including Cotton and at one point it was the largest city in Mississippi
you also might be thinkin of Aberdeen TX?
Billy B (Bradshaw) the celebrity makeup artist started his business in Aberdeen
There are a lot of people from different parts of Mississippi
@@Toby-rj4tm Brasfield
That old movie theater is where I went to see the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie when I was 9. This was in summer of 1990.
New Albany Ms has a what we call a business strip from back in the day like this too
I was really hoping you would look in the window at the Blair’s radio repair shop
You should check out monroville alabama downtown is where they filmed to kill a mockingbird. Great video

I filmed everything I could get to that looked interesting. Looking forward to your coverage and hope it’s a knockout!
My grandfather was a truck driver and told me some stories about aberdeen back in the day…. Not a place for the brothers if you know what I mean
It’s changed since then
Lots of parts of Mississippi has changed
@@Toby-rj4tm True - not a place for the whites if you know what I mean
My family is from there
