Here is some history of our town of Andalusia. Andalusia was first settled in 1841. It was originally called "New Site" but was known as Andalusia by the time a post office was established in 1846. The town was incorporated in 1884. In 1899, two railroad lines arrived connecting Andalusia to the outside world, the Central of Georgia and the L&N Railroad.
I was truly hoping yall toured the town of Andalusia. I Follow Brenda Gant, Cooking TH-cam videos she live there, think she has a bed & breakfast/Inn there. Thanks For The View. 😊
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Glad I got to see what Andalusia looks like!! Try Opelika, AL when yall get a chance, I thought it was really nice ... the little part I saw of it, Friendly People too. 😊
I didn't see any pot-holes and I didn't see any trash and litter all over the place, and I didn't see any homeless drug addicts Standing on the corner begging for money to buy more drugs, and I didn't see any tents in the parks where homeless people live. So different from California where I am.
Population 8000. Not big. My home town. One river, not lots of water. 2 hrs from the beaches. Nice people and they don't talk like they have candy in their mouth. Insulting start to the video. I hope it gets better.
Come on now! I thought the point was to espouse that "Southern Life"? I can't agree that the South is backward at all. Southerners are "real", we have no problem putting our perplexities on the front porch for all to see. Southern "Keepin it Real" Life...lol, I digress.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS But Florida beaches and palm trees aren't the general mentality of the South. It has been explained that Faulkner's literature explored the idea of the American South as breeding a sense of the abject within impoverished communities (Black, White, and otherwise). It's a concept ingrained and fomented in the Southern psyche; a Region historically plagued. Is the South progressing? I'd say that it is, but the stains of the past are hard to come clean. I myself am a bonafide Son of the South, one who happens to be Black and gay. There was a reason I left 21 years ago for California. It was hard to navigate the endured experiences. Does that mean I hate the South? Hell no! I love the South, and I hope to one day return.
Look up Big Jim Folsom, former Governor of Alabama (1947-1951 and 1955-1959). A populist governor who saw past the color and race line in Alabama when it was unpopular to do so. He was overpowered by the Southern Oligarchy establishment, formerly the Planter Class of yesteryear. There's a lot to be learned from him as a Southerner and the Old Monied Planter Class's power structure, which in a sense still exists today. Some have also viewed Louisiana's Governor Huey Long in the same light. Pragmatically, the legacies of racism and hate in the South (and the Nation, really) was and still is a red herring. Bigotry and division were a distraction for political-economic policies, and unfortunately, many people bought into it.
Greeetings from Seville, Andalucía, Spain. Loved your video. Just one little correction. Andalucia is a very large region in the south of Spain, with 8 provinces and a population of 8.5 million inhabitants.
Great video! Spanish West Florida at one time extended all the way across present day southern Alabama and Mississippi into Louisiana to the Mississippi River. Hence the Florida Parishes in Louisiana.
Hola ,I heard on one of ur videos that ur from camaquey . My mother is from there. She is 99 years old. We live in wisconsin. I love watching ur videos. I was born in miami . Sw 7st. Lol I would never live there again. Love u and Katie's video's
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS if ur ever up this way tienes adonde quedaŕ. My brother even loves ur videos. He is the one that told me about u and Katie. That was my sisters name Katie
I love that you visit my town it was really my heart I love Spanish people and I we also have Mexican restaurants but you know if you want to go down there we have a five below shops and everything so yeah might be nine hours if you live in Texas sorry😊
Yeah i think 2010 forward down the toilet with gwen stefani forward pure trash. Now in last few years kodak and a few others in the south have created some new sounds cuz it was poop and still is. What people hear on the streets aint what the radio plays they keep trying to shove the same crap down your throat
Yeah you right and that's the most sad part about it it's 2022 and same gender treatment is just terrible but I refuse to not live in my truth and rather than hide it embrace it I just wish people would look at people like me as human beings that wish to have and be happy just like any straight man or woman
You need to be VERY careful. They wont come at you directly. A car accident, a fire, a workplace accident.. dont walk on sidewalks near roads.. always have a little cash in case you need to escape. They will eventually come for you.. remember no one there is your friend they would have too much to lose. The tuffer they act the more likely they are to be just like you tho. Ironic? Be smart and move military they will eventually do with you but it won’t be more than a tragic accident
Hahaha hey now!! That’s my popo vehicle!! Lol maganolia is kindaaaa the hood. I wished you kept going north west to look at the $3 million high school with the college grade football field.
It wont be long you will be talking like an ole country boy.I think your Southern life logo would make good stickers for your ride.Put the logo on the door.
That's the most beautiful hood I've ever seen. Surrounded by lots of water and green landscapes.
I used to live in Andalusia in 2002. Nice to see it again brings back a lot of memories.
How did you like living there?
I like it, I like it, I like the vibes

Before that it was called Montezuma and was located a few miles from where it is now located. It was in what is now River Falls. That was pre-
Pre-1841
It was moved to its present location after the river in whats now River Falls kept flooding the town.
You did a very great job I'm looking to move there keep doing what you do let's go 💯👍🏾 love the hood. New Sub
i worked there at A Food World store in the 90's, while i lived in Opp.
Greetings from a Spanish Andalusian!
dang! cool!
Alabama and Mississippi were originally part of Georgia until the Compact of 1802 passed by Congress.
Yeah but southern Mississippi and AL (the beaches) were a part of La Florida going all the way to the Río de Nueva Orleans Luisiana
My grandad is from Gantt Alabama which is nearby Andalusia
Ya'll need to check out Andalusia al now it has grown alot since Ya'll came through ❤

You won't see that in Andalusia. We have extremely low crime rates. You can walk anywhere in town at midnight and feel safe.
Oh I assure you we have plenty of pot holes that never get fixed
10per cent sale tax.

I'm in the dry west. People are replacing their lawns with cactuses here. This place doesn't seem to have that problem.
My paternal grandmother was born in Andalusia in 1934. Always said I would visit the area someday.
the south is just so backwards and lost, dont
