Like @gensisg7022 I lived in Meridian Ms and in April 1976 dropped out of High School as a Solid A/B student and joined the Army. I earned a GED while in Basic Training and over my 20 year time in the Army earned a BS degree and traveled the world. I retired and could not bring myself to return to Mississippi to save my ass. I have returned a total 4 times as well and on each visit could not help but shake my head as it continues to decay. I recognized the streets shown but my oh my how it has changed. I bet most of the victims shown here are still voting Democrat something I haven't done in 20 years and never will again either.
You can drive thru any city and only film the rundown parts of them. Notice that’s all this person filmed. He didn’t go into the nice parts of Meridian. It’s a shame that was his purpose filming Meridian. The south is beautiful and I’m proud to call Meridian, Mississippi home.
My mother moved us to Meridian from New York in 1975. I left in 1979(Army). I only been back 4 times since then. 2 funerals and a wedding, and when I got out of the Army. Best thing I did was to move to California. Been here ever since. I still have relatives that live there.
I lived in San Deigo for 5 years. Oldest sister and parents still live there. Hated California, glad I moved to the south. And got away from the mess that is California.
My family never lived in the city part of Meridian. They live off of the highway. It’s pretty nice there but they don’t go into the city a lot anymore because of the violence
Meridian schools along with police along with racist folk along with Ignorance along with no father figures along with not enough to DO .. THATS WHAT ON EDGE feels like MORE PEOPLE CAN RELATE IN OTHER city’s, I’m sure of this but it’s still something different about MERIDIAN MS. OUR CITY OFFICIALS MAY NEED REAL PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE FROM OTHER PLACES BECAUSE THERE’S NO TRUE HAPPINESS THERE ,WE’RE NOT LIVING THERE WE’RE SURVIVING THERE’S A DIFFERENCE
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Then one can assume Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Baltimore,and other northern cities are good for one's health.I would much rather live in the south than in one of those once great cities ruined by liberal democrats.I forgot about San Francisco.Need to take a dump? Just drop your pants and let it go.
Most of my family is from Meridian and it used to be a really nice town. The things that brought it to this level is it has a very bad drug problem and a lot of jobs have left the area resulting in high unemployment.
Agreed. Like most parts of the east coast. I moved out Joined the Military to Serve and to get out of the east coast was a bonus. I prefer the Western Colorado, Wyoming area part. To each their own. I Love Snow. Europe is the best though for me. Travel people travel.....you shall see. It opens thy eyes. If you come back to the east coast than it's for you. Don't be afraid to explore other options. You never know......
My Dad was born and raised here. We own a lot of land. Thinking about building on it in the near future. Thanks for sharing this video. I haven't been down south in years
Unless it’s in the country don’t even consider .If you have kids don’t consider !!! Meridian would be a great place but this gang stuff has truly destroyed it .
@@herdaughter8218 Yes it’s awful !!!Stealing cars !!! Shooting homeless people that are harmless !!!The list goes on !!! I use to say this was one of the safest city I would have to retract that !!!
Lol this person is being a bit dramatic. Rarely do you hear of stealing cars and gang stuff here. Yes, occasionally you hear about a crime just like every single city. The bad people stay in the bad parts of town just like every single city in America. The county is safe. The north side of town is safe. The crossroads area and downtown Meridian have recently gotten a lot of attention and new businesses. Meridian is up and coming. I literally have lived here my entire life and I feel safe here.
Didn't show Meridian High School ( biggest high school football stadium in the state). You didn't show North Hills where the wealthy in town lives. I didn't see none of the city parks. Could have shown more of the city but I appreciate giving it some spotlight.
The bad thing with these states, ironically, is the low property taxes. I think alabama's can't be changed bc it's in the state's constitution, which leads to poor funding of schools. It also leads to higher sales tax.
I think our people just like the quiet . To be fair the lack of jobs is a problem and it causes the decrepit state of the buildings in many areas . But outside of that poverty I don’t believe meridian is a bad place .
Mississippi is a beautiful state. With a lot of friendly honest hardworking people. I challenge you to go back and film the beautiful parts if Meridian not just the rundown area. But of course your full intentions was to make the South and Meridian look as bad as possible. Too bad you can’t see any town except thru your biased eyes. I feel so sorry for the people that only see the bad in everywhere they go. Open your eyes to beauty and find that in the places you film!!
Hood where is it , because the house white picket fence 🤔,kinfolk all thru that M town,lol funny shitt 1971,EG,WG,Walker H,Frank Berry,S Courts,RIP Micheal JACKSON EASTERN GARDAN

All this made me think of was big krit.
I was stationed there in 84. I loved it there.
wow long time ago now
I have a cousin that was stationed at the Naval Air Station in the early 80’s.

I’m pretty sure there’s many channels that only records the “hoods” of popular cities known for high crime
Correct
If buying a home can you tell me what areas to look at
Exactly ‼️
That’s what meridian 98 percent of where he drove is what meridian is
My mother moved us to Meridian from New York in 1975.
I left in 1979(Army).

Are you from Rochester

Meridian reminds me so much like Montgomery I just can't even tell.
I lived there for 3 years it sucked. Looks it hasn't been developed since the 60s. Looks lkek a civil right movie.

My cousin owns a tobacco shop he wants me to move there I live in North Carolina it’s nice what you think I should not move there
Thank you for the lovely tour.
Meridian looks like a really depressing place..
Its really not that bad down here
Most of my family is from Meridian and it used to be a really nice town. The things that brought it to this level is it has a very bad drug problem and a lot of jobs have left the area resulting in high unemployment.
It Is...
One of the most backwards and depressing places on the planet. 30 years behind everywhere else.

You should have seen it 8 years ago. Meridian Is improving. It is not to a city then just a drive.
It is more to a city then just a drive. Not fair
Didn't show Meridian High School ( biggest high school football stadium in the state). You didn't show North Hills where the wealthy in town lives. I didn't see none of the city parks. Could have shown more of the city but I appreciate giving it some spotlight.
You think North Hills is a nice place to raise a family ?
Real shtt
Don’t forget about downtown. No views of it at all.
What part of hoods don't people get.🤷

Aloha ! Breaking News from Germany : The government has before us Germans to leave the country, so to travel/fly , I'm laughing
Long live teezy 💯
