I recently purchased 2 acres in this town and I plan to retire there. My cousin just bought the building next to the police station. There is a lot of potential in this town.
In order for towns like this to comeback, the Mayor and City Council have to plan or the people have to push for change. You have to bring in job resources such as Amazon, Car plants, Distrabution Centers. Some type of factories.
Small towns have a lot of great assests. People seem more content in a small town. I sure would pick your town over many big American cities. Great tour❤
@@Theeorie4393yea that’s the biggest issue. I’ve always talked to my wife about this. All they need is a wal mart. That creates jobs and people would actually spend more money. Even people that live close by like water valley and Oakland. Even Grenada people would stop buying and spend money in wal mart if they put one there. Even a fast food restaurant would help bring some money into the town. Do that and people that live in other towns close by would also commute from their town to work there. That’s one of the biggest ways to help the town grow.
The reason why every building is empty is because the businesses weren’t making money! The reason why they weren’t making money is due to the low population of the town and people not frequently visiting and spending money. How much does the average household make a year? That matters!! If the people aren’t making money they can’t spend money! If they can’t spend money that they don’t have then the businesses won’t make it!!
I think that some of those towns are being ignored. Maybe they need more job training and employnent agencies. Why is it that smaller developing countries are doing better than the USA? You want those people to move to the big cities and live in crowded places .
Those buildings have been empty for 10+ years, at some point...someone has to try again. I do believe if the right businesses were placed in town, the community would support them. Example: a grocery store...I recently saw a small town (in illinois) save their only store by coming together. However, I do agree with your response to a certain point. The average household is around $50,000 but people will spend money on things they need.
@Denise-di3jy Overall, this video shows the town as all the videos I've uploaded. I only give population for most of them. An intelligent business owner always does research for themselves before moving forward on a project, so they would look up that particular information. I'm sharing this video from my perspective and opinion. There is power in the internet, if the right people see this video, someone will see it the way I do...potential and an opportunity. You can do alot with a little but you have to start somewhere. It starts by bringing awareness. If business come, it employs people, if only a few.
Ain't no damn money. Hospitals closing. Crime is surprisingly high. I've been all over Mississippi since the 1980's. It's getting worse. I love my state but enter at your own risk
My mother was born in this town, and my grandparents lived there all their lives. I remember visiting them in the summer. We would visit my other grandmother in Big Creek. Those were GREAT summers. 😊
2:10 Super Dollar used to be Bill's Dollar Store. I used to rent VHS tapes from the Piggly Wiggly when I stayed with my grandparents in Coffeeville back in the '80s I remember a relative (great uncle? Grandma's cousin?) ran the Coffeeville Courier newspaper. My grandma had been a teacher and grandpa had worked for a land conservation agency. The family property was on Tennessee St., just east of 7. Actually, when they built 7 it cut off the west part of the land and they filled in one of the ponds. I used to spend a month in Coffeeville every summer.
I love the video creators optimim on trying to get all the unused space in the town occupied. I hate to see old building rot away because the town can't support the business. As a potential retiree, its good to know that the crime rate in Coffeeville isn't as bad as lot of the surrounding areas. That's a valuable piece of information to know before moving.
@@justanotherwaver9065 how it’s not bad? Explain to me how they kill you and chop you up there like it’s nothing. Mississippi probably is the worst out of all states of racial killings
@@justanotherwaver9065 you’re from there so you look at the news keep up with your surroundings they killed a brother out there and skinned him to his bones bro EMMITT TILL and so much more the trees of blacks being hung for over 400 years not to mention it’s cursed there and it’s a poor state. No black is safe there no matter what y’all get murdered it won’t even be a trail
Horn Lake is part of Memphis metro. Outside of there, Jackson and the Gulf Coast, the towns and cities are beset with poverty and misery. Lots of folks hooked on pills
❤. I really enjoyed your video! You did a great job and I loved the narration. Your town is lucky to have someone who cares so much about it's future. 👏👏
Most towns in Mississippi are impoverished and hopeless. It's sad to see. I mainly stay in the house to avoid becoming depressed. Just the other day, I was in Laurel. Jacktown owes me money for the bad streets tearing up my car. My Lord...
I love coffeeville my best friend used to live there she still has family there. Her last name is Reed but she moved to Oxford I use to come down from Saint Louis to visit here. I miss coming down there. I have to revisit soon
I think you did pretty good. The town has been updated so far from what I see. The family dollar/dollar tree was a new store added. A house that was on the right before you passed the football field was tore down. The park lost a few things that was there like the swing set. Only thing I would suggest is when you go to the school.
I'm not trying to be negative, but do you really think they're going to invest in these small towns in Mississippi or Alabama. Of course, it used to be so much better. But we're steady losing jobs and infrastructure
I think it is great that you are an idealist person. This town between 2010 and 2020 lost 11.9% of it’s population. It has 797 people and a total of 457 households. It would be almost impossible for a business such as you speak to come to this town . Businesses have to hire people ,pay wages ,and benefits and make a significant profit to stay in business. I’m assuming that the residents travel to a-nearby town that is much larger to work, shop, receive medical services, recreation etc.
Thank you for your video...that small town would be great to live in....I imagined so many different business opportunities to create for locals from a call/customer service center , a wipes manufacturing plant ..right now a plant in NJ makes my wipes and I'm looking to buy the equipment and make the wipes myself...a youth educational and recreation center..a small supermarket....the town is CLEAN!!!
Does look like a pretty nice small town, we have a lot of "dying" small towns in Texas. It seems like all the people and companies want to be in the metro areas
I agree, it does seem that way but they should take a page from Dollar General because they are small enough to serve a community of any size. If it's a large city, they put multiple of their stores in the areas. You'll find those stores in the middle of the desert. 😂 They definitely know how to make money.
@@miltonmoore1690 The factories and such were sent to China, subsidized by us. We still subsidize "Free shipping" from China and not inside our own country
Im ready to leavr my city an relocate to a smaller town an bn lookin into mississippi lately..i appreciate seeing smaller towns . All i see is scary stuff about Jackson
NEW SUBSCRIBER! I just stumbled upon your channel and was reminded of yesteryear and how time changes things. Like you, I hope these wonderful small towns, full of good people, can get an injection of life with industries that will support and sustain the local community. BTW, I am from Natchez, Mississippi! 💪🏽
A big ol general store, one with everything a person could need. No reason to go out of town except work. Visitors and towns people could go in get some food and do some browsing and purchasing. That empty lot with what looked like a memorial would make a great place for people to camp and have RVs. Or a big park. But those don't bring in the money. Nice ride thank you.
@@InTheseStreetz I would do like they do at state parks, reservations for a week only, sounds mean but this way you get more movement, not stagnant and so many more stories and people from all over. When I was young I lived in a small town and there was an abandoned house, my friends and I made it our club house, I see that in those abandoned places. Such potential.
If Water Valley can attract new residents(a lot due to attracting people from the town of Oxford to move there), it makes me wish that the town of Coffeeville could attract such people to move there as well. Towns like Coffeeville need more than just DG and Dollar Tree to shop at, and like you said it'd be nice if a grocery store and bank could open here. That and rehabbing decaying buildings in downtown Coffeeville, would greatly get the ball rolling in getting population back there. If towns like Water Valley, MS can make a population comeback, and same witb Roanoke, IN, does make me hope places like Coffeeville could come back. Would be especially nice if some new grocer, could take over the Piggly Wiggly space.
Can you deal with no hospitals, 30 minutes to the nearest grocery store only to find they're out of what you came there for, the hopeless look in the eyes of the young folks, etc
I joyed the Video I Subscribed just now, I watch these types of videos all the time what I liked about yours, is that you did a tour of the town all most all this types of videos or silent they never say anything at all...... not all but most... I live in the city and have been looking for a small crime free town too possibly move too, I'm retired so all I would like is some PEACE and Quiet (Smile) ... !!!
From a native and current New Yorker in the borough of Queens this is the total opposite of my area of course houses and apartments right on top of each other no real space. But your small town is a quiet breath of fresh air hopefully the big wigs there can come up with some big plans for your town good luck Great Video new Subscriber.
You need to attract peto the area. A great idea would be tiny home lots. You could rent out lots or acreage. You need to have a park/green space. Skating rinks and bowling perhaps?
That place must look beautiful in the summer with all the land and trees. Unfortunately you can't put new businesses in a town without enough people to support those businesses. You first need to get more families with income to move there, and then you can build up the businesses. But it definitely looks like a Lovely place to live. ❤❤
I'm not an older person at 50 but I enjoy peace and quiet so I would live here. What is the name of the apartments complex with the on site laundromat? It looks like a quiet town and you can do limited grocery shopping at Dollar Tree and similar stores but they don't have the variety and the meats that a grocery store would have.
@@Theeorie4393Why are so negative? Everytime someone comments something positive, you have a negative comment. Have you ever left the state of Mississippi? Have you ever traveled abroad to see how beautiful oceans, beaches, rivers, sunsets, are? Goodness! 🤨
@LibbyEdwards100 Yes, I've been some of everywhere. I'm a military veteran and I attended college out of state. I'm not negative, just realistic. I worked as a social worker in Mississippi and am well aware of the policies in place and the limited opportunities. My old social work professor, the department chair, told me the state of Mississippi doesn't care about two things: education and the poor. It is what it is
😅I think that Aldi should put a supermarket there. You all need some department stores there too. I hope that some people start opening some businesses there soon. I lived in a crowded city. I caught the flu from Thursday evening. I knew that somebody at work had the flu. I have been fed up of big cities cities from 2008. I am very concerned about Covid-19 too. I hate when I go to the store and turn around, someone is less than a foot away from me. It's so creepy. I was born in a small town and for most of my childhood . I like open spaces .
@heatherfulmore3412 😄 I always place a shopping basket behind me to keep the distance. Some people get so close, others will think ya'll are together. Aldi would be great!
Heyy, thanks for the sub and yes, I have 2 more on the channel so far. Link below is of Water Valley, MS ua-cam.com/video/CFRqNX7Xyt0/v-deo.htmlsi=-PDEOVX4A3e2A6Xz
Your voice sounds like LEE LEE OUT THE BOX.....I was a subscriber to her channel. Somehow I don’t get notifications anymore. I just stumbled up on this channel. Very interesting,I’m subscribing. Is this LEE LEE?
My former hometown had (3) grocery stores...........2 of which were meat markets that did butchering. (3) new car dealerships (2 ) hardware stores (2 busy cafes) bowling alley Lumber yard Feed mill. (2) barber shops Today?...........(1) hardware store ......................(1) cafe ......................(1 Dollar General) .....................feed mill 0 grocery stores Location.........central MN
Honestly, if you're an outsider, it may do okay but if they know you, then no. (I know it sounds weird) Only reason I said okay and not great is because one is already on front street.
There is a diner on front street it’s called The Ville and they have been in business for about 4 years or so now and have great business! Oh and Bells TV station is in business
I like your video and watched the whole video because the name is appealing to me since I'm a big ☕ coffee drinker. I like the small town there but it's not close enough to the Gulf Coast for me. I plan to relocate to Gulfport Ms in a few years. because the Gulf beaches are beautiful there.
You need the right honest politicians in town that have the same dream as you do. It looks like a wonderful little town. It takes hard work and a reason for business to locate there.
Hi I’m a native of Oakland Mississippi. Just wondering if you could drive through Oakland? I was last there almost 3 years ago for my grandmother’s funeral. I currently live in Iowa
With so many people in northern states retiring and heading south for better weather, you would think MS would try to get in on that trend more than just down by the gulf area. I am one of those people, but I am looking more at NC, GA, and TX. I am just not sure that the racial climate in MS has come far enough to really feel welcome.
Is the Mayor and the city council working on bringing in needed businesses. Maybe the Director of Economic Development for your county could assist the city with economic growth grants .
Honeslty maybe im just naive but i never thought about a dollar tree/family dollar being here so does that not show something is going on? Not only that but since i see people talking about manufacturers or companies coming to the area just in the past few months a bridge was built going towards grenada in preparation for Milwaukee Tools thats coming to the area isnt that something? Not only that i havent heard mention of the mulipurpose building that brings in people. Especially when the circus rolls around and when they have rodeo events. Things with the school as well brings out people games, parades, etc.(atleast when i was there) Like we aint got a lot but baby steps🤷🏾♀️. And i forgot to mention this but a large portion of trees near the highway @ 0:20 have been knocked down and i have heard before that a gas station or something is gonna be built. Maybe with an outside perspective it seems slow but things are happening.🤷🏾♀️ And im not being willfully ignorant to the fact that places left but to give a little insight businesses aren't going out just because we arent supporting them. They went out because they either weren't good/gimmicky. Like for something to prosper here it has to be something that gives us coffeeville people a reason to not drive somewhere else to get something. Alot of that stuff on the square was old/boring and didnt keep up with times. Some of that stuff was those gimmicky places you see in the south to buy t shirts or get things engraved etc. If you want to start a business here give us something we need/dont have and make it good. A beauty shop for the ladies, a good restaurant, a bumping club venue etc. Im telling you bring a bumping food place at a decent price, yeah you'll have business.😂 And the guy who owned piggly wiggly and by extension that property sold it and whoever bought it bought super dollar and the land surrounding it. It didnt get pushed out by dollar tree and family dollar since they didnt exist here when piggly wiggly did. And i dont think dollar general pushed them out either since it wouldn't have provided what piggly wiggly couldve far as food. Like meats and things to cook actual meals and not just snack stuff.🤷🏾♀️
If the state of Mississippi structure a nice package plan for production businesses to move there,with some nice tax breaks and incentives,that town could really grow
If a business comes in and employs the locals then money will recycle as they can spend in their home town they need a urgent care , grocery, daycare, vet, McDonald's

I recently purchased 2 acres in this town and I plan to retire there. My cousin just bought the building next to the police station. There is a lot of potential in this town.
Great
That’s what I say. There is potential

In order for towns like this to comeback, the Mayor and City Council have to plan or the people have to push for change. You have to bring in job resources such as Amazon, Car plants, Distrabution Centers. Some type of factories.
Now that MIGHT work. Still, I've talked to a lot of business owners here and they aren't very hopeful
Small towns have a lot of great assests. People seem more content in a small town. I sure would pick your town over many big American cities. Great tour❤
It's not possible. They're closing hospitals and hardly any jobs
@@Theeorie4393yea that’s the biggest issue. I’ve always talked to my wife about this. All they need is a wal mart. That creates jobs and people would actually spend more money.

looks like small town america is rapidly declining I hate to see that please keep us informed I love the videos
You need to attract peto the area. A great idea would be tiny home lots. You could rent out lots or acreage. You need to have a park/green space. Skating rinks and bowling perhaps?

Heyy, shout out to Arkansas! Thank you.
I think if everyone in the town pitched in they could re-establish a grocery store. Maybe everyone could buy a share.
Good idea.
That place must look beautiful in the summer with all the land and trees. Unfortunately you can't put new businesses in a town without enough people to support those businesses. You first need to get more families with income to move there, and then you can build up the businesses. But it definitely looks like a Lovely place to live. ❤❤
This place is close to where my family lives at in Vaiden Mississippi Carrol County I believe close to Grenada.
Yes, it's about 20 min from Grenada.
I Love places like this. You’re right so much potential 😊I could live there❤
😁
Not trying to be rude, but no you couldn't
@@Theeorie4393 You know me? Not being rude but there is potential.
@@Theeorie4393lol why u say tht, cause I'm kinda interested & would love to hear your opinion
@@kswag5759 No jobs, limited health care, bad schools
I'm not an older person at 50 but I enjoy peace and quiet so I would live here. What is the name of the apartments complex with the on site laundromat? It looks like a quiet town and you can do limited grocery shopping at Dollar Tree and similar stores but they don't have the variety and the meats that a grocery store would have.
That's true, you'd have to travel 15-20 minutes out for groceries.
Think twice. Lots of folks move down here, seduced by it's eerie beauty and then become depressed once reality sets in
@@Theeorie4393Why are so negative? Everytime someone comments something positive, you have a negative comment. Have you ever left the state of Mississippi? Have you ever traveled abroad to see how beautiful oceans, beaches, rivers, sunsets, are? Goodness! 🤨
@LibbyEdwards100 Yes, I've been some of everywhere. I'm a military veteran and I attended college out of state. I'm not negative, just realistic. I worked as a social worker in Mississippi and am well aware of the policies in place and the limited opportunities. My old social work professor, the department chair, told me the state of Mississippi doesn't care about two things: education and the poor. It is what it is
2:07 Spain was suppose to buy the building and expand another store to replace the building.
What do you do for groceries, banking, jobs, recreation etc. What's the income level? What's the cost of a home?
My family is from water valley. I see both towns are in Yalobusha county
😅I think that Aldi should put a supermarket there. You all need some department stores there too. I hope that some people start opening some businesses there soon. I lived in a crowded city. I caught the flu from Thursday evening. I knew that somebody at work had the flu. I have been fed up of big cities cities from 2008. I am very concerned about Covid-19 too. I hate when I go to the store and turn around, someone is less than a foot away from me. It's so creepy. I was born in a small town and for most of my childhood . I like open spaces .
😢I did encounter racism when I visited a small town in Florida
@heatherfulmore3412 😄 I always place a shopping basket behind me to keep the distance. Some people get so close, others will think ya'll are together. Aldi would be great!
@@InTheseStreetzYes Aldi is a smaller store. But it’s not American owned. Another problem.🙁
It’s very cozy.. I’m a subscriber.. will you be posting any other areas?

Your voice sounds like LEE LEE OUT THE BOX.....I was a subscriber to her channel. Somehow I don’t get notifications anymore. I just stumbled up on this channel. Very interesting,I’m subscribing. Is this LEE LEE?
Hello! 😁 yes, glad you've come across the channel. Thanks for subscribing. Different content, we will see how it goes.
Dollar stores seem to be the only option there. Likely not large enough for wal marts “neighborhood market “.
My former hometown had (3) grocery stores...........2 of which were meat markets that did butchering.
(3) new car dealerships
(2 ) hardware stores
(2 busy cafes)
bowling alley
Lumber yard
Feed mill.
(2) barber shops
Today?...........(1) hardware store
......................(1) cafe
......................(1 Dollar General)
.....................feed mill
0 grocery stores
Location.........central MN
The have some darn nice street lights.
Whats the nearest airport....my next vacation should be in this quaint town
😁 Nearest airport is in Memphis, Tn and nearest/best hotel is Oxford, MS
They need a Bed and Breakfast place.
Is this Lee Lee ? I recognize the voice. I admire you.❤️
This is she 🤭😅 Hey Milton, this internet world is so small, thank you so much. I appreciate you! 💙
@@InTheseStreetz Hello Beautiful, over here admiring you from a distance. I will keep our secret.🤣🤣🤣I found you again. Must be meant to be .❤️🤣🤣🤣
👍 just found you new subscrber
Hello and thanks!
@In These Streets, do you think a diner would do well on Front Street?
Honestly, if you're an outsider, it may do okay but if they know you, then no. (I know it sounds weird)
Only reason I said okay and not great is because one is already on front street.
Yes I think it would do good
There is a diner on front street it’s called The Ville and they have been in business for about 4 years or so now and have great business! Oh and Bells TV station is in business
@@meggieb.4747 Bells is still open?! Good to hear.
I like your video and watched the whole video because the name is appealing to me since I'm a big ☕ coffee drinker. I like the small town there but it's not close enough to the Gulf Coast for me. I plan to relocate to Gulfport Ms in a few years. because the Gulf beaches are beautiful there.
Thanks for watching the whole video and I have to take a trip there soon. I need a vacation so I'll make a video while I'm there.
The Gulf Coast is nice. Just avoid most other parts of the state unless you want to spiral into a serious depression
That's my home town my moma still down their i still got my house down I go home some time
You need the right honest politicians in town that have the same dream as you do. It looks like a wonderful little town. It takes hard work and a reason for business to locate there.
What about the water lines? Good idea.
And that church by the coffeeville elementary school are open
Hi I’m a native of Oakland Mississippi. Just wondering if you could drive through Oakland? I was last there almost 3 years ago for my grandmother’s funeral. I currently live in Iowa
Hello and will do, I actually had them recorded but the sun blocked alot of the views so I will re-make.
@@InTheseStreetz Oh I’m ecstatic!!!
I'm from Coffeeville Alabama. South of Meridian east of Waynesboro
Shout out to Coffeeville Alabama!
Where would the nearest Walmart be
20 min away
Most towns die when there is no employer of any kind. No jobs means no money and people move away.
Sad but mostly true
Go through Pascagoula please😊
Just stay out of Moss Point
Bring in the Business the people will come...they will bring jobs.🙏👍
This was a great town review. You now have a new subscriber. 👋🏾
Hello, thank you and welcome!
With so many people in northern states retiring and heading south for better weather, you would think MS would try to get in on that trend more than just down by the gulf area. I am one of those people, but I am looking more at NC, GA, and TX. I am just not sure that the racial climate in MS has come far enough to really feel welcome.
u use drive trailer truck?
Looks to me like you will have to have a car to get around are there any bus transits there? I'm a city girl.
Yes, a car is needed, there are no bus transits.
Bus transits? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Theeorie4393 yes! city bus🤨
@@Theeorie4393 you know the buses that take you around townlike they have in Palm Beach Fort Lauderdale and Miami🚍
@@antoinetteboswell2948 You can barely get transit to Medicaid appointments. No, you have a car, you get a ride, you walk, or you stay home
Is the Mayor and the city council working on bringing in needed businesses. Maybe the Director of Economic Development for your county could assist the city with economic growth grants .
They have to create something in that town to draw ppl there with only the town population and income the businesses wouldn’t flourish
What kind of churches? Nice town
The town appears to have everything but PEOPLE... Doesn’t look like there any lights in that town. Must be pitch black at night.
Lol they are hiding from the cold weather and yes, there are street lights.
No it’s not it’s well lit at night because I live here and I know for a fact
Home Sweet Home!
Honeslty maybe im just naive but i never thought about a dollar tree/family dollar being here so does that not show something is going on? Not only that but since i see people talking about manufacturers or companies coming to the area just in the past few months a bridge was built going towards grenada in preparation for Milwaukee Tools thats coming to the area isnt that something? Not only that i havent heard mention of the mulipurpose building that brings in people. Especially when the circus rolls around and when they have rodeo events. Things with the school as well brings out people games, parades, etc.(atleast when i was there) Like we aint got a lot but baby steps🤷🏾♀️.
And i forgot to mention this but a large portion of trees near the highway @ 0:20 have been knocked down and i have heard before that a gas station or something is gonna be built. Maybe with an outside perspective it seems slow but things are happening.🤷🏾♀️ And im not being willfully ignorant to the fact that places left but to give a little insight businesses aren't going out just because we arent supporting them. They went out because they either weren't good/gimmicky. Like for something to prosper here it has to be something that gives us coffeeville people a reason to not drive somewhere else to get something. Alot of that stuff on the square was old/boring and didnt keep up with times. Some of that stuff was those gimmicky places you see in the south to buy t shirts or get things engraved etc. If you want to start a business here give us something we need/dont have and make it good. A beauty shop for the ladies, a good restaurant, a bumping club venue etc.
Im telling you bring a bumping food place at a decent price, yeah you'll have business.😂
And the guy who owned piggly wiggly and by extension that property sold it and whoever bought it bought super dollar and the land surrounding it. It didnt get pushed out by dollar tree and family dollar since they didnt exist here when piggly wiggly did. And i dont think dollar general pushed them out either since it wouldn't have provided what piggly wiggly couldve far as food. Like meats and things to cook actual meals and not just snack stuff.🤷🏾♀️
this town needs a large company or manufacturer to come in and create jobs or i dont see any future any time soon for coffeeville.
I'm afraid you might be right
If the state of Mississippi structure a nice package plan for production businesses to move there,with some nice tax breaks and incentives,that town could really grow
the name itself sh make it great! one just needs to open a Coffee emporium and sell all kinds of coffee!? ☕️ 😊
It can be save build one large building that can have one stop shop
If a business comes in and employs the locals then money will recycle as they can spend in their home town they need a urgent care , grocery, daycare, vet, McDonald's
Can you drink the tap water; or must you drink bottled water in the city?
Yes, the tap water is good to drink.
If businesses come… how can they be sustainable.? Barnes and Noble? How?
Barnes and Noble was wishful thinking, I used examples but I know that one in particular would not make it.
