And they look hot too!

I was born in 1962 and lived there until I was 25. When I left, you could see it was going, but it still had a semi-thriving Main Street. I haven't spent any appreciable time there since... just visits/ funerals. The difference between now and when I was a kid are jaw dropping. There used to be 3 (yes, 3!) busy grocery stores on Main Street. Two face to face at the head of the street, and a 3rd in the 2nd block, just before the RR Tracks. You used to have to circle and wait for a parking place. There was a MOVIE THEATRE, for goodness sake, and the iconic (1950's, I'm fairly sure) Rosebowl beside the movie. It has changed SO much. It's like seeing someone you once cared about being ravaged by cancer. I'm glad that I was able to get out, but this makes me grieve for what is left of the town. I still have family there, and they wouldn't consider being anywhere else. I think I would go crazy.

Spent a lot of time here. Grandparents lived here, my dad grew up here....finally went back 3 months ago after 10 years. Nothing CHANGED. Unfortunately, the Cafe burned down.....the best place to eat

The most ignorant people in the world live in New Orleans

There's good in the worst of places (n people) and some bad on the best of places (n people) either you're a part of the problem or part of the solution. I was born and raised in Bastrop, lived in California since 1979. I can't wait to move BACK home and be a part of the positive......the solution. Don't judge a place or people looking through the WRONG set of lenses. LAWSON 4 Bastrop!!!

Filthy 🤮

? Somewhat curious, Was j cole talking about this area? I'm just asking ? 🙏🤔

my very first job was at the coney Island Burgers were 10 cent's and Barq's root beer were a nickle.

I used to go to the saenger theater every Saturday for Matt nae

I was born and raised there thanks for bringing my childhood back to this old lady I rode my bike all over that place maybe I'll see it again before I Leave this world.

Looks Like a Turn off of Ames Blvd. Ta me,nah!😮Before it was Marrero,it was called,Amesville!😊

Why do you think these as bad areas? Just curious?

Ferriday was founded by the railroads.

That's what happens when the railroad leaves town.

This town made national headlines nearly 2 decades ago, Jena 6.

Is Harvey Louisiana a military base?

I live in Opelousas and it is a very good place to live ! Sorry to burst your bubble but it's not much different from any other small town in the South.

Man you know how people say never meet your heros... well visiting this town was like that for me, as Because Of Winn Dixie is one of my favorite movies, and I was so heartbroken to find out this town is a complete dump. Hollywood has a way of filming movies that they keep a tight frame on just what they want you to see and they did an excellent job with this movie, making this town look like such a nice little peaceful town, but in reality it is the biggest dump of a town I've ever been to and I've been to all 50 states. If you go back and watch the movie after you've seen Napoleonville, you can even see in the background where it was a dump way back then during filming as well, but they do such a good job of disguising it. I went all the way out there so excited to make a video of the filming locations, and I wouldn't even get out of the car it was so bad. I spent a week mapping out the filming locations before I went, so at least I was able to recognize them as I drove through, but damn man, what a disaster that place is. Unbelievable. I tagged a few of the locations in your video, 0:29 is the Cajin Corner restaurant, alot of that area can be seen in several scenes especially when they're searching for Winn Dixie when he runs away, if you would have gone straight right after turning at that building, instead of turning left, you would have seen Gertrudes Pet Store on the left on the corner, 5:12 is just a building in the background a couple times when the kids ride their bikes by, and the fence on the right when you turn at that building, can be seen when they are looking for Dixie, at 12:57 the big white house on the left was the library, I believe the mayor actually lives there, which explains why it looks much better than anything else in that town. There are several streets you missed actually, but this is a good video and I appreciate revisiting :)

💚💚.😍😍 Hi! Such an interesting and beautiful video! Thanks a lot once more!🤩🤩

I lived there when I was 16 I got my first job at the Holiday Inn as a dish washer way back in 1980.

Terrible Title 😢

Nice looking place.

You passed my uncle house he had that brown truck

I used to live on Mandela Louis Street rail road

People like you just wanna label it as dangerous cause its the north side and mostly blacks live around there. The hurricane had messed it up and they not trying to fix anything on that side of town.

I've lived in Katy for seven years. This video gave me a reference point for the other small-town videos I've seen, like Jena Louisiana and several others. The statistics caught my interest, too. Poverty at only 3% compared to, as I recall, around 12% nationally? Interesting.

Thanks for watching my video! If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and subscribe to my channel for more content like this. ruclips.net/channel/UCWPgxW9yx3cSyeh2amgVXCQ

Love the downtown views!

Is Gulfport MS a safer city than Bolgausa, LA? How does it compare to what Colorado Springs has become over the past several years? Thank you in advance

I’m not dangerous about it besides the hurricane tearing it up. And them not fixing the black side of town…

Wow that’s my home town and I love it…

Spent my childhood running them streets in the 70s

How dare YOU drive through the oldest, poor parts of Lake Charles and call them dangerous! WHY are they dangerous, because they are predominately black? Please point out the druggie's or dealers hanging out. Where are the people sitting on the porch playing spades or drinking 40's? Ididn't see any babies playing in the street or drive-by's. What I do see is quiet neighborhoods with people in their home minding their business and doing the best they can! Please take your RACIST ASS and go "film" somewhere else!

My hometown 🖤💛🖤💛

I grew up there as well. I can't see it looking like this

WOW! Beautiful Louisiana’s Streets with amazing views. Just came back from New Orleans Louisiana. haha. Thanks for sharing my friend. New subscriber here!

My dad is from Eunice I haven’t been there since 91

I had a friend who lived in Gaston Point. He moved from there, because he said it started getting bad. He passed away a few years ago. I really miss him 😢

Moss bluff is the most dangerous hood in LC 😂😂😂

I lived there while my husband served in the Army at Ft. Polk. People are supper friendly in 1971-1972! A shout out to the Tucker Family - lived next door to them. Yes, I’m now a Baptist if you ever read this. I know y’all were praying for me. Wish you would’ve named the streets while driving🤣
