Bartow, Georgia | Creepy, an Almost Empty Town

- Bartow, GA...is there anyone left here? With a declining population now sitting at 156 people, this town has seen better days. After the droughts in the 1930's and The Great Depression, Bartow began to lose its population at a height of 700 and has continued to decline to this day. Once having a hotel, indoor skating rink, several department stores, concerts halls, and even an electric power plant, are now a thing of the past. Nowadays amenities are non existent, jobs are scarce, and poverty / crime is higher than average. I will say this place in many areas even though its dilapidated from the years of ruins, is actually well kept for what it is, and some of it has historic value. Let's take a drive and check out some of the worst, abandoned, and historic parts of Bartow, Georgia.
I could almost picture the people living in those houses 80 years ago. Sitting on the porch in the rocking chair, pies in the window to cool, sipping iced tea. Tin roof houses I assume makes those houses at least 80 years old. Tin roof would've been an original roof.
Some of those houses look like they were built back in the early 1900's and abandoned by the 1950's
The ambient noise and the slow meander around these distressed towns add an element of pathos and heightens the sense of loss.
I love the juxtaposition of dilapidated buildings with overgrown mailboxes, or "Dead End" signs, like you have here. It adds a poignancy that is palpable, knowing there were people living their lives in that very spot at one point. On a different note, I'll bet I'm not the only one of your subscribers who finds themselves yelling at you/the screen saying, "Go left! Go left! Go right! Yesssssssss!" when watching as you drive through!! 😄
Bridget I thought I was the only one doing that. !!!
Never heard of Bartow before. Need to look it up. Interesting vid as always❤
Isn’t that something? We’ve got homeless sleeping on the streets and sidewalks to the tune of 40,000 people here in Los Angeles and this quaint Georgia town is fairly vacant with stretches of empty houses. Not a soul in sight.
Doesn’t make sence hey ? I’ve been watching in you tube all those homeless people in Philadelphia. How sad . Living on concrete trying to sleep with all the traffic the cold how very sad .
I kno tht is something

They do seem to keep some of the houses in order even though no one lives there
Nice video. I would love to revitalize those old store fronts. Beautiful blue sky!
Pretty sad for a town that's
only 1 sq. mile
Wow those old buildings
I dont live far from here in Chatsworth Ga
I go through this town when I’m driving to Evans. I love it.
You filmed this brilliantly. Very natural sound. No radio, or music. A dying town of small America. 😳🤔🕔🕔
Thanks!
Back from the "other side."
Ready to search for paint again. 😆
I have been wondering how you were! Thanks so much Linda! I got some arrows waiting for one of the cities I just filmed, it'll be coming up soon lol!
I found your page by happenstance but I scrolled through your videos just to see if you had some in the south and I find Bartow, that’s my county! V cool
Ttear down a few byond repairs ,clear lots ,get some realtors for all the land
I love the old downtown - so many cute buildings with a lot of personality and they are in good shape-
It's so green n spacious n pretty. I love the natural landscape. Reminds me if the Caribbean
Wow interesting structures nature reclaims itself as well
Now I finally made it, final level of poverty.
Looks like the movie the road,,,😢 thanks a lot,,
very sad
Todo tiempo pasa y queda el recuerdo de un pasado que ya nunca volverá y queda en soledad y territorio como pueblo fantasma 👻
Lots of history here. Love the old buildings and houses. I wonder how the Civil War impacted this town. I'm guessing all the overgrown areas were once farmland.
Is there anybody living in that town?
Have you been to Indiana ?
Yes I have. I'll be doing some of those videos soon!
Come to Michigan. We can show you many deserted towns!
I love going to Michigan! Cant wait to do more videos
fire hydrant was well kept
Hardly anyone left over there! I must say, I do like the peace and quiet.
That fire hydrant @ 1:15 looks out of place to me. 👨🚒🧯🔥🚒
almost as much as a fast food place would look.
When Hollywood makes films about the apocalypse, the whole world thinks that this is a set, it turns out that it is not - this is real life in the USA.
When you don't invest in infrastructure.
Near Augusta, Ga
Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Great Video. Thanks for Sharing.
i wonder what this place was like 30 years ago in like 1990 or 93
What camera do you use?
Dead End ... that´s for sure ...
Bartow Georgia , that's the hometown of robby wells. If I remember correctly, he tried to run for president of the united states . He was also the head football coach at the university of savannah back in 2009.
1:16 - those houses may be going to Hell but at least someone was thoughtful enough to give that fire hydrant a nice fresh coat of paint...!
Hard to believe this is America
Ghost town!
How do you pick these places on the map??
I have a pretty good knack for finding crazy stuff lol. This one to be honest, I ran into by accident.
Obviously no jobs. People have to move closer in to work. Too bad, looks like a quaint small town.
What a beautiful little town. Your video was so alive with history
Looks like the town in Children Of The Corn.
На гугл картах не найти этого ...
No one and nothing left
Very beautiful,rustic,calm,haunting,isolated and boring for young people,cos there is no much development like in the big towns and entertainment,as such young people may go crazy in places like those
Barrow is about 60 miles south of fort Gordon ga
One awful place for USA army basic training
This is the most scariest place I've ever seen😮
It definitely has a creepy factor when youre there and its whisper quiet.
