Small Town America

[rlibos]

What a dump! Historically only a good place for lynching and cross-breeding....

[MrAnthropophagy]

What are small towns like this, like? Are they the stereotypical deep south towns that the media makes them out to be?

[Andy22210]

what a quality video, loved the clip of your city hall, top of the range.

"Downtown!

Things'll be great when you're

Downtown!

Don't wait a minute more

Downtown!

Everything's waiting for youuuuuuu!!"

[PupuTheClown]

Shubuta ?, is that in Africa or Japan ?,,lol

[Porygonseizureman]

@PupuTheClown Mississippi!

[daveviking1958]

I do wish i could live in a small town like this.

[knightrider4545]

Looks like Parnell, MO there's almost nothing there and the population is less than 250 and event that maybe stretching it. Good choice of song with "Easy Feeling" by the Eagles but not the original recording.

[americano37]

How old this town??

[rando714]

WAY TO MUCH TRAFFIC FOR ME TO MOVE THERE...

[applecounty]

Interesting. I like the shot of the former Depot, looks like a tranqual place.

[TheFlashingCursor]

It's beautiful there. I live in the same small town...in Ohio:)

[fluffydolly]

i treasure these small american towns to the bigger....lucky you are.

[Syrinx69]

Can you still walk on that bridge or is it too rotten/dilapidated?

[kenroberts]

No, it was in really bad shape so the county removed the approaches but the trestle is still there although you can no longer get on it.

My mom grew up in Shubuta. Her name is Sallie McDevitt Thornton. Her sister still lives there. There is a beautiful old cemetery there that's a great place to enjoy peace and God's nature.

[donnagarbus]

[MsMoneybaggshawty]

[contactbluebird]

i tried looking at your photos on flicker..said it was private. thanks for the video. i live in tremont ms...even smaller town.

[Syrinx69]

My grandfather and great grandparents were from Enterprise and Stonewall not far from Shubuta

[EdM021]

I'll bet the hangings were lynchings! >:-( Still, I'd like to move there. I hate the city!

[smilzeee1]

I'm a British city dweller just yearning to live in a small American town just like this,,,,,,

[EdM021]

@smilzeee1 Problem is, the recent brouhaha over Constance McMillen's wish to take her gf to the prom shows the hostility to outsiders and nonconformist insiders that is usually kept under wraps in these small towns until a local stands up to the oppressive climate or some rabble ropuser gets the townsfolk all bent out of shape over the "other." But even so, towns like this are usually more peaceful and less stressful than the full-blown city.

[stevemallen1]

Wow! That is a small town! Looks quiet and peaceful though.

[mimisbt]

Shubuta, MS my hometown. It's small and all, but I wouldn't have wanted to have grown up anywhere else. Being in the city now, really makes you appreciate the country. Shubuta, MS Home of the Famous Artesion Well!!

[Crazyman1212]

wow can't wait to move to a place like that,lol

[MIGHTSPIKE]

Excellent video. Thank you

[wainuiboy74]

creepy looking place

[gcrebel2008]

Its sad to see a town dry up like Shubuta has. Those new four-lane highways will really work on small towns. We have some land there and I can remember, as a kid, passing through town on the old two lane and stopping at one of those two gas stations to get some fishin bait.

[aloemonkey]

Wow. I'm from New Zealand and this is EXACTLY how I picture small town america (the stereotype from movies and tv shows). I am travelling around the states soon and am really lookn forward to finding little places like this. Thanks for making this clip.

[olivieraleman]

the songs are peaceful easy feeling and man of constant sorrow. who are the artists?

[biggms80]

Thank You, for posting this video. My Grandparents were born and raised in Shubuta and I wanted to see pictures of the town and couldn't find hardly any on the internet. So you can only imagine how elated I was when I found this video of Shubuta Mississippi. Thanx again!

[latrellda72]

bra i live in shubuta, u should see da smile on my face rite now

[tunett123]

I am from Shubuta and that old railroad track sure bring back memories. It was a great place to grow up. Shubuta is one of the smallest towns in South Mississippi with only about 650 people when I was there. It must have grown by now. It is in Clarke County and borders Wayne County.

I miss the people.

[Terrorvision8]

Hiya, really like your video! I'm Irish and have been travelled in America, & I have to say I love smalltown America so much more than the bright lights of the big cities. Everywhere is getting so dangerous these days that its lovely to see places like these remaining untouched and safe, hopefully for a long long time.

[tonymason2003]

Sure has changed alot.I use to drive my motorcycle over that old bridge(I never looked down)Was a great place to grow up. Kinda miss it
