Muskogee is rampant with drug use, crime, poverty and homelessness. City leaders mismanage funds, such that the roads are a hazard on a good day. There are many beautiful old homes, buildings, parks, and venues, most of which are either not sought after or used because of the aforementioned issues.
😬😬😬😬😬😮
this is very true
Muskogee can’t get out of it’s own way. It’s a rough looking town with little promise of improvement.
I have seen many homeless people while driving there.
Can't wait to visit post Covid.
i’m from muskogee and it’s a great place and i love the merle haggard song but you forgot about the part where you find a dispensary on every corner
Ha! That’s a very specific audience!
it wasn't that way in 2020

U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves is one of the most legendary lawmen ever, and he might soon have his own museum in Green Country.
City leaders in Muskogee are trying to create a spot to highlight the first African-American U.S. deputy marshal west of the Mississippi.
Reeves arrested more than 3,000 felons in his day and Muskogee leaders say it's past time for people to truly appreciate Reeves' life and his career in the Indian Territory.
Bass Reeves was known for doing whatever it took to track down outlaws and they were terrified of his reputation of being fast with a gun and fearless.
Even though Bass Reeves was born as a slave, he escaped to the Indian Territory in the 1860s where he was later commissioned by a federal judge to be a deputy U.S. Marshal in charge of 75,000 square miles, is mostly what's now Oklahoma and Arkansas.
He killed 14 outlaws and arrested more than three thousand wanted criminals, including his own son, who was wanted for murder, and his own preacher for selling whiskey.
When he retired in 1907, he became a Muskogee police officer.
"He is a Muskogee icon," Muskogee City Councilor Marlon Coleman said. "As an African-American, being a marshal at the time he was a marshal, that's ironic in itself."
Coleman is spearheading an effort to build a 'Bass Reeves African-American History Museum.' Reeves has his own national museum in Arkansas and has been the inspiration for comics, films, and shows, including the tv series, The Lone Ranger.
"I think that he deserves the recognition that he should get in the area that he actually managed," Coleman said.
City leaders say this recognition for reeves, is long overdue.
"The fact that the light is finally being shone on him the way that it should have been years and years ago being really great," Muskogee Tourism Director Justin O'Neal said.
City leaders are still in early talks and are working to decide what a Bass Reeves museum would look like. O'Neal says the city and region could benefit from helping people learn about the legendary lawman.
"We're sitting on a gold mine of tourism possibilities," O'Neal said.

This town is very run down
dude i live here and its not all that it seems
Every rose has its thorns
@REALITY CHECKER ong this place terrible. I got one more year of school then I'm out
@REALITY CHECKER care to expand on WHY? What makes it so bad
@@picklefart The Tulsa area or The Okc area are the best places to live in Oklahoma. it’s a small town with great buildings, because it used to be a the capital 100 years ago. It’s pretty stagnant though. My parents grew up in Muskogee, but moved in the 90s because they wanted me and my siblings to have more opportunities when we got older.
Went to school in Miami OK and spent some time in Muskogee. This video was not diverse AT ALL. It is a misrepresentation of Muskogee and it's history. And I'll just say it. I didn't see 1 black person the whole entire video. And anybody who's been to Muskogee knows.
Yay, obviously that was not by design. We simply produce what the camera records.
there are a lot of black people in muskogee
@1KSeven that sounds like a personal problem.
Maybe if you didn't spend all day in doors smoking crank like the rest of the black populace then you wouldn't have a reason to complain.
wish the crime rate wasn't so bad. I was born and raised there but won't go back. have a close connection to every place he mentioned.
Come on vacation leave or get stuck here on probation
Ha!
Is he ever going to say that these tribes were black Indians
I don’t think so
You are just darling! LOL are you married??
Ha!! Angela…flattery will get you everywhere with me!
@@Erikthetravelguy LOL so Cute! Love it!
Try wrap head on this shooting load...G .Washington was not the 1st president but we'll after 10...
Ooooooo
I played at Max's one time and nobody care about me. I had more talent than the other guitar players. Muskogee has no talent
Daniel…that is hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
