Regardless of showing a place considered “the most old school backwoods”, one thing people who don’t live in places like this realize is that, people in these small towns, run down or not, all know each other and look out for each other. They have realized that having all the money and the things and the big fancy houses and cars don’t mean you are happy. I’m from a large city in Florida but grew up and lived mainly in Georgia and SC with family roots in one of these small towns just like it. We are planning a move back to a small southern town. I wouldn’t trade a small town in the south feeling for anything or any town or city in the world.
So true. I grew up in Manchester Georgia, knew everyone and their family, had folks looking out for me and vice versa. Now I’m trapped out here in the dingaling capital of the us, Oregon. Hope you make it back someday
I'm watching this thinking the same....really missing the small town I grew up in. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. There was such a sense of warmth & comfort
I dont know if this video is meant to make it look bad to live in a small town..but the people are mostly happy and want to live there..rather live there than a big city with out of control crime..
I'm from Dawson Ga. Otis Redding was born there. I went to school with his cousin. I still have people there and i still visit. I love my hometown. It has beautiful neighborhoods. But i still love the old back roads.💓💓💓
My name is Betty Jo also.😁grew up in eastern Kentucky like this, except we never had a car or hot water! Coal or kerosene stoves. My grandson can't believe the hot water part. Retired in northern California🌴now, I enjoy these videos, takes me back. Take care, 💗🙏.
lts funny to read these comments...because we're rural we're all related or we're gonna attack an out of state car etc. as long as you leave us alone and stay off our property you're ok down here...unlike in the cities where you get beat half to death for no reason.
I give you credit for rolling through these neighborhoods around the US. A slow moving out of state car in any neighborhood will draw attention from the locals or cops hahaha
Ikr🤷♀️then i was wondering if those were government homes since those all look alike in the video and made of block rocks which most public housing are
My grand-parents from a country little town just like that in the south.. People in those little towns really do be all related to each other too. They were using words like cuh and cuz way before the Crips in LA.
Nope I'm proud of my grandparents. They were born in the early 1900's and places like these were well taken care of back then probably up until the 1970's. My grandparents town look like this but not as poor and abandon looking.
I heard laughter of children who played ball in the safe streets of this once happy town. I smelled savory aromas escaping through the open windows from mama's kitchen. I found solitude on the big porches where we once sat in the evening as a family to talk and laugh together. I felt peace and love. 💕
WTF... Are you talking about? That's all good and fine. Just as long as all of you dark skinned share croppers. Stayed on your side of the tracks. But if you ventured onto; "mighty whites" land. Well you knew the consequences, because the slave patrols, herrinvolks and Karenvolks were there to remind you of what your place is. If you knew what was good for you. You'd better stay on the dark side of town. And just be happy with your 40 acres and a mule.
@@jamesnash6101 And it sounds like you may still be living on one but I'm betting you never saw one. I was raised on a village with cotton mill workers. Most of the kids had to quit school at 16 to go to work there. At that time,in the 40s, I think my mama and dad made 2.00 a day wages. My dad was the village drunk so his money went in his pocket. Mama fed and clothed us on her pay. He also was a mean drunk. We had a tough life too. But when he wasn't there we had a fun time. We took advantage of every moment. I am really sorry that you haven't searched your mind and dug up a time when you found a little enjoyment there. Of you haven't, try it. You'll be much happier today.
@@bettyboyne8531 But Betty, this is 2022. Don’t live in the past, honey. I am 78 and I think Dawson is a wonderful place to live……..now, not back when there was so much poverty. ❤️
A little history about Dawson. This was a segregated town. A private school was built so more privilege families would not have to intermingle with the less financially wealthy. There was industry here until NAFTA moved plants to Mexico. One by one the plants closed and hard working people were left without jobs. Older people stayed, children moved away, families died and relatives sold the homes to landlords. It's still a good easy-going place to live. But no one really cares about investing in the old things. Next time drive through the beautiful homes in the area. Many of us still take pride in our humble homes.
Man watching this brings me back. I know every single road you drove on. Hell, I grew up in most of these places. This,Parrott GA, and Bellflower will always and forever be home.
Why didn't you show the neighborhoods that are actually well put together. I'm from Dawson and you are only showing the places that make us seem horrid
@@ormalibu2056 I have a lot of black friends that are good people and none of them are filthy. I work with them everyday! There are lots of small towns across this nation and there is good people living in them. It's usually people who live in upscale neighborhoods, who think they are better than others and look down their noses at people who live in these places, however that is not always the case. Good neighborly people can live anywhere, so who are we to judge?
Showing how people are surviving under these conditions is heart breaking especially when there's so many black millionaires and billionaires in the USA. So instead of spending money on drugs or super big houses or hiding it over seas or marrying younger people or whatever they are doing why not reach out and help these struggling families?
Muitas pessoas que pensam em saírem dos Estados Unidos deveriam ver esse vídeo. Me parece ser um bom lugar pra recomeçar ! Se alguém pensar em investir em algum comércio nessa cidadezinha , vai se dar bem , atraindo mais pessoas pra investirem por lá. Alguém poderia pensar sobre isso !
It saddens me to see towns like this in such disrepair. There are supposed 'third world' countries with better housing, better ammenities and better overall quality of life than the places depicted on this channel. There is no pride in their community, no shops, and probably little to no opportunities for employment. Before we spend billions on other countries we should repair our own.
This is only one side of town in Dawson Ga there are some gorgeous homes and people that come from this “old backwood town” as you’re referring to it. Always remember it’s two sides to ANY story!! People show you what they want you to see!

Looks pretty clean and neat to me. No abandoned rotting vehicles or piles of trash everywhere. I'd give this place a five star as far as rural communities go.
Charlie, you should make a video of Venice beach, Hollywood, Santa Monica. I was there recently and I wanted to vomit, No place, Detroit or Philly can come close to the level of trash, filth and depravity I witnessed in LA this week, not even remotely close. People are in literal TENTS! LA makes Mumbai look appealing.
I thought they were cleaning up Venice Beach. I’ve seen a lot on UA-cam about that. However LA is the worst place in CA, homeless population out of control!
The situation in Dawson and every run-down town or neighborhood in America can be traced back to two things: (1) the Democrats with the Great Society of the 1960's when the government revved up the FHA with totally delusional financing programs to make sure that all blacks would forever be wed to the Democratic Party, and (2) the Vietnam War which was totally bogus but which quickly introduced millions of American servicemen to Southeast Asia drugs and addiction on an industrial scale. Credit for both goes to old white men in Congress who got us into both - may they rot in Hell.
This is very similar to many areas in Central California… except things are green instead of all yellow & dried due to a decade long drought. CenCal is the leading agriculture center in the World & has long been called “Food Basket of America” They even more cotton than all of Georgia. It also is by population percentages the most violent area of California (statistics right). Brother Charlie you’ve been to California a couple of times now, but you always bypass. You’re fearless…, so hopefully next time in Cali swing by NoTown (Fresno) & all these NoTown Assassins. Fresno is the 5th largest City in Cali, BTW, making its population base larger than many entire State ….
If they had any pride that place wouldn't be so run down and trashy. I live 20 miles from there in Leslie, population 432, and for the most part it's clean and maintained. Those people have given up.
I lived in South Central Georgia as a Military Contractor in the 1980's. Spent a few nights in Leesburg right next to Dawson. People in that neck of the woods are very personable and kind. Except for Atlanta, Georgia is one of the places to be.
I’m not American and tbh if you didn’t tell me this was the states I would think it was a developing country, don’t mean to offend - I don’t think houses like that can even legally built where I live
Beautiful town great place for people to come back and live all it needs is some rebuilding and everything will look beautiful again this remind me of my old country Town quiet and peaceful and everybody know your name

Looks like most have the Same landlord.. the Homes are pretty much The same colors Some people would Call it the ghetto someone Call it slums.. not picking On anyone these days you’re blessed to have a roof over your head; but it kind of Reminds me of some Type of encampment...

I just think of a lot of pro athletes come from these small towns. You could really help your community live better now. There is more than giving money . Check on the water system. Donate to better roads. Give the kids a chance with your help.
It's NOT that simple. We only see the outside but not the real culture. While it charming, cute and "down home quaint DO NOT be fooled. With that also comes a mindset that is not based in equanimity. Say if you leave those areas, become very successful and go back you will find those who stayed will not understand you or appreciate you no matter how well intentioned you are. This will play out in two ways. They will see you as goofy billy-ms Willie Maes son from down the street and will not translate that to the man you are now. But at the same time they will see you as NOT one of them because you left, grew, got money, nice clothes etc. For more understanding of this Google "a prophet is not known in his own hometown. It tells of all the good jesus wanted to do when he returned home BUT his own people just could not deal with and accept him. They could only see the poor carpenter who made tables and chairs. So he had to leave them at THEIR level as this is what they wanted for themselves. And he now had christ consciousness and could not go back to material mind in order to fit in there. These small towns are very much like this. I have relatives in South Georgia and visit briefly every now and then. I am like someone from outer,space to them. I just smile nicely, keep pretty quiet and then go back to California. No way could I ever live ther again.
despite the negative influence these dying and dead neighbourhoods unfotunately have on the people that remain, they are more beautiful than a "good" neighbourhood in my opinion. Nature taking back the land the human virus poisoned.
This video could easily be 30 minutes longer, we talking about my home state of Georgia here it's of course millions of old-school red dirt roads not shown.
Hello Chef iam amazed to see some of those homes still up in my town they were condemn torn down and they built Affordable Apartments for people I pray everyone have a blessed Thanksgiving.

If they had any pride that place wouldn't be so run down and trashy. I live 20 miles from there in Leslie, population 432, and for the most part it's clean and maintained. Those people have given up.
yeah right! live in a proverbial toilet - but have pride! I see 30k cars and $2 shacks - but have pride!
Look like Mississippi if you ask me
I visited Dawson GA years ago my mother law from Dawson and I live on NYC I go to Dawson for the home cooking and the rest
😁 most northerners do.
I could people around those parts are so nice that they'd treat you like family
Yea they’ll offer you a hit of meth out of a Mountain Dew can
@@RazPerignon 🤣🤣
Not everything is sunshine and rainbows my guy
OK ok if you wanna blow everyone's mind.. I dare you to drive around a reservation in South Dakota such as rosebud...unless you already did lol
I lived in South Central Georgia as a Military Contractor in the 1980's. Spent a few nights in Leesburg right next to Dawson. People in that neck of the woods are very personable and kind. Except for Atlanta, Georgia is one of the places to be.
I was married in Leesburg. 45 years ago.
it would be really nice to interview one or two people just get them to talk about their lifestyles, crime and how they feel about this place
These are type of homes that if you live in them, they will teach you rigorous lesson
I remember going through places like this it was all black and that was in the seventies it looked exactly like this
I miss those days born in a small town like this grew up in Miami, fla ppl look out and help there neighbors everyone knew each others
My motto I live by,
"LIVE SIMPLY, SO OTHER'S MAY SIMPLY LIVE." ❤️
not much of a carbon footprint ,
Most of the homes are abandoned. And there's worse.
Let's buy it up fix instead of worried about a fantasy Egypt or Israel make it the new new
My parents are from there 😩😆
That needs to be redeveloped!
I’m from texas mane I love the dirty south!!
I’m not American and tbh if you didn’t tell me this was the states I would think it was a developing country, don’t mean to offend - I don’t think houses like that can even legally built where I live
These are just very old homes. Probably 70-80 years old
All towns seem to have a poor run down section
A DISGRACE BLACK FAMILIES HOMES GOVERNMENT NEVER REPAIR JUST MAKE THEM MOVE AND KERP THE LAND
Near Albany ga the country
One more thing - there are some pretty excentric people there. Very interesting.
This my home town… 229 native…. There is a lot of history in this town. Check out the Dawson 5
Beautiful town great place for people to come back and live all it needs is some rebuilding and everything will look beautiful again this remind me of my old country Town quiet and peaceful and everybody know your name
There must have been a sale on mint green house paint.
Y'all crazy wit the paint colors!!!😁😁😁😁😆😆😆😆😭😭😭😂😂😂😂. Mint and pink paint sales!!!!!!!! UA-camrs spot evérythang!!!!!!!! Y'all don't be missing, NUTHIN...HUH????😵💫😵💫🥴🥴🥴🥴😏😏😏😏🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
Why are some of the houses built on blocks like lifted off the ground?
My guess is that it's the most affordable way to keep the houses level.
Also prevents flooding
I love myself some Philly and Dawson GA🎉❤
Are there people living in those houses?
The polar opposite of these wonderful folks is Elon Musk .
This is reality .
Better than some I've seen.
Lol, noteven close to being as back woods as we can get. Love, Georgia
Compared to where I grew up in Africa, this place is like New York or any other big city in the US for me, the only similarity is that we were happy and knew each other from point A to Z
I guess it depends on what part of Africa because I’ve met so many Africans that have a lot of money and big houses
Looks like most have the
Same landlord.. the
Homes are pretty much
The same colors
Some people would
Call it the ghetto someone
Call it slums.. not picking
On anyone these days you’re blessed to have a roof over your head; but it kind of
Reminds me of some
Type of encampment...
Some places in the
South the are genuinely
kind and other places
Not so.. I know I’m
From the Deep South 👈🏽
I moved to the
West Coast and
never look back..
I love looking out
My doors and windows
And seeing mountains..👁
Reminds me of another place down south where car is worth 3 times as much as house.
When the Government Officials and the Super Wealthy work together this is what happens! These Communities was beautiful and peaceful to raise your family when we had our Farmers. No work! No development! No positive future and wealth
🤔 REALLY by looking a lot of them houses really look like they go back into the 1800s
In general, looks like a war zone.
Dang dude u went down to the backwood backwoods
This is the reason Hershel Walker thinks he can run for Senate ugh
Get me a hill woman, gun, dog , shine. All good o yeah buddy & pick em up truck.
If only I could buy back my Great Grandmother's land!! She owned half of 9th Avenue. From the stop sign down 🤎WENT FROM COUSINS..AUNT'S, UNCLES, GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND MORE on each sode of the street!! #Oneday😔
Omg it look so boring there did you grow up round here
@@arthurhudson3592 it looks boring now...but it wasn't about...30 years!!
I gotta protest. I like Dawson, even though I got a bandaid in my French fries order from the Dairy Queen in 1972.
Discúlpame una pregunta en donde esta la ciudad o en que parte de Georgia esta y también las casas están de ventas nomas que no mucho ablo inglés Discúlpame
South Georgia near Albany.
Looks like Central America.
Home❤
I just think of a lot of pro athletes come from these small towns. You could really help your community live better now. There is more than giving money . Check on the water system. Donate to better roads. Give the kids a chance with your help.
It's NOT that simple. We only see the outside but not the real culture. While it charming, cute and "down home quaint DO NOT be fooled.
With that also comes a mindset that is not based in equanimity. Say if you leave those areas, become very successful and go back you will find those who stayed will not understand you or appreciate you no matter how well intentioned you are.
This will play out in two ways. They will see you as goofy billy-ms Willie Maes son from down the street and will not translate that to the man you are now.
But at the same time they will see you as NOT one of them because you left, grew, got money, nice clothes etc.
For more understanding of this Google "a prophet is not known in his own hometown. It tells of all the good jesus wanted to do when he returned home BUT his own people just could not deal with and accept him. They could only see the poor carpenter who made tables and chairs.
So he had to leave them at THEIR level as this is what they wanted for themselves. And he now had christ consciousness and could not go back to material mind in order to fit in there.
These small towns are very much like this. I have relatives in South Georgia and visit briefly every now and then. I am like someone from outer,space to them. I just smile nicely, keep pretty quiet and then go back to California. No way could I ever live ther again.
I enjoyed seeing these homes. Reminds me of the 50's......MEMORIES OF NEIGHBOURS LOOKING AFTER EACH OTHER.
despite the negative influence these dying and dead neighbourhoods unfotunately have on the people that remain, they are more beautiful than a "good" neighbourhood in my opinion.
Nature taking back the land the human virus poisoned.
This video could easily be 30 minutes longer, we talking about my home state of Georgia here it's of course millions of old-school red dirt roads not shown.
My family's from there they were very poor growing up and we're looked down upon ,leaving was the best decision they made
I drive trucks I get to see all these ducked of old school towns … it’s nice to see that there are still some places off the grid..
It's clean for the most part and quiet
Hello Chef iam amazed to see some of those homes still up in my town they were condemn torn down and they built Affordable Apartments for people I pray everyone have a blessed Thanksgiving.
I think Manchester, GA warrants a spotlight. It's very much like this. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself.
Old school?..backwoods?..with pavement and electric lines?..ain't chit...
Never forget The Dawson Five. This town is deep in what was real KKK territory.
That's not true. The klan was never in Dawson. Stone mnt and other places was the capital for the kkk. We had racist whites there but i was never bother nor my family or friends. I enjoyed my childhood. We all did.
Who cares it's 95 percent black,so you can't blame the white man,they didn't tell you to sell crack to your mom and sister.
The good old southern life style 👌 just outside side chilling with the family and friends lol Cooling cooling 😎😎
Old school or Backwoods is not the right name for this town, rather Rundown is more like it.
