  • If you're looking for the perfect spot for a horror movie set, this place might be it. Lumpkin, with a name like that, you gotta take it seriously, right? This small Georgia city is located in Stewart County, and has a population of about 942 people. The poverty is at a soaringly highly 32%, with unemployment being almost twice the national average. Jobs are quite hard to come by around here. You won't find many amenities here, and commutes are a must. Driving through this place looks like time stood still about 50 years ago or more. Many unique buildings, and also many abandoned homes and businesses. Let's take a drive and check some of it out!

    I'd rather live here than NYC these days...all "that" can be fixed up and enjoy the trees, cut the grass listening to the birds and living amongst down to earth people sounds refreshing.

    Ty for the tours around America, it breaks my heart though to see what was once a thriving Country turning into this. It began when companies closed here and moved overseas for lower wages starting back in the 70's thru now. Very sad indeed.

    It certainly has a get out of town before sundown type of vibe to it.

    lol This morning I had 3 deer jump across the Hwy lol 2 Coyote when I hit gravel and a Massive moose KM 24 on the Nordegg River rd. My life is bliss. When I come out to homeless, drugs, theft.. It breaks my heart....I just can't wait to go back to the Stars, gravel roads, and the beauty of our creator. I love the back roads. Maybe I need a little place on the back roads of WV or Kentucky...mmmm...maybe

    • @hoodsnhollers
      @hoodsnhollers  Рік тому +2

      WV for sure, Kentucky....not so much! Nothing like being in West Virginia. I remember being in Elkins one time at night, and it was a very clear night in the middle of nowhere. The stars felt like you could touch them, it was amazing. If you ever go to WV let me know I can help ya out, i been a place or two there lol
