I'm from Valdosta. But the only thing I know about it is moody air force base is where daddy was stationed and the hospital on base is where I was born. Mama said she was in labor and could watch jets take off out the window of her room.
That was weak. Why you didn’t go through the East down Troup or Lee street. Or go through Hudson Docket. Or go through kill my quick you was right by it on the west side. You didn’t show nothing. Perimeter , Bemiss and Ashley and a lil bit of the south side by the Truth night club. Next time really go through it.
It was a fair video, ya could of shown more of the highlighted stuff in the city, such as Colonial Mall, Valdosta State University, Wild Adventures Theme Park, maybe even Moody A.F.B. Ya you missed the hood, where you said hood, that was getting over in the historic district, River St. Would of shown you victorian era houses, or even down by the University, that has a nice sized campus. Just a better note to self, edit out waiting at the red lights... 👍
I've lived in Valdosta all my life, this had to have been on a Sunday night close to eleven for Murphy gas station, Walmart, liquor store and others not crowded. Ride through on the weekend (Friday and Saturday) add the Mall area, down town and so much more. "Valdosta is a beautiful city."
@@kennisespivey Opposite of the truth most people are super cool with each other, very laid back town, extremely polite and nice people everywhere don’t let any bad apples get your view of the whole town twisted. Your wrong.
I live near Valdosta. I grew in a small town not too far from there. Valdostas a nice town to go for all kinds of stuff. Shopping, going to restaurants, movie theater or retailing. Interesting fact: this is not to far from the amusement park where they made the movie ZOMBIELAND.
@@RefinedGentalmanhow racist is it? I seriously want to know. We are a Filipino family considering this as one of the places to migrate to as a family from the Philippines.
I was born in tifton georgia which is 45 miles north of Valdosta. I stayed tifton until I was in my teens. I lived in Valdosta for a short period of time as well.
I don't see how people are saying Valdosta is small and lifeless, Valdosta is big not compared to some cities but it's pretty big. You got north east west and south side and Remerton.
That’s funny Denisha. I’m 51 years old and I actually lived in that same house. Obviously I was really young because I don’t actually remember it . But my brother and sisters remember it well.😂😂
Yall happy about memories of a stank dump of a town. I stopped in the middle of East hill Avenue to take a shit. That's how much respect I have for this place
Because Corporate America is greedy and evil, so they build the same businesses everywhere and destroy the locally owned stores. Every city has a Walmart, McDonald’s, Target, Dollar General, etc. etc. and they build shopping plazas the same way. In the 1990’s American cities were very unique and had their own style.
My mother was from the Valdosta area and I have spent time there with relatives but have never lived there. The sights in this video look familiar to me. Have you considered coming to Greenville and Spartanburg, SC?
this place suck 😒 I've just move down here from the northern state it kinda slow need more Attraction , store , Restaurant I have more fun in Florida's
I was pretty sure valdosta has about any restraunt you could want and some you wouldnt and that place is perfect location for an outdoorsman so much you can do within a hours drive
You’re mistake was coming down here looking for a lot of stuff to do. I’d say either go to the mall or explore the down town area. Or leave. I wouldn’t blame you.
And it's better that way! Stop and get something to eat and then move on...Smokin pig is ok at best....(nothing special but the locals want you to think it is) it's close to I-75. Jack's chop house is even closer to I-75..still ok not anything special. Austin's cattle company is good and on I-75 but nothing great. I hope this helps!
ironically, more and more miami residents are now moving into this sad boring place called valdosta, ga. due to high cost of living in florida overall. they prefer valdosta instead of being homeless in Florida..which is sad.

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSthere are plenty of nice parts of Valdosta. Well, there were. The entire city just got destroyed by hurricane helene. My house, which was in one of those nice and historic parts of the city, currently has a tree through it and is now uninhabitable. I live in one of the historic neighborhoods near the hospital. There’s also downtown and the Fairview historic district, VSU, the neighborhoods around North Valdosta Road, and plenty of beautiful things in the surrounding area. Horse Creek Winery, Grand Bay wildlife preserve, the Crescent House, Little Creek Farm, plenty of parks, Reid Bingham isn’t far, we are close enough to Florida and Georgia coastal beaches to make a day trip without having to pay for the real estate and also close enough to Atlanta, Tallahassee and Jacksonville for a weekend visit without having to deal with rent or the traffic. It’s a complete shame that my city was destroyed last week. A lot of people would look at Florida and call it a shit hole, but you know just as well as I do that it’s completely different from a local’s perspective. I lived in the Tampa area for 3 years and ended up liking it even though I judged it at first. Valdosta is home for 150,000 people. It might not be for you, but that doesn’t make it a dump interstate exit. You intentionally sought out the bad side for clickbait.

It dont. Baltimore dont look nun like Baton Rouge. Los Angeles and Savannah look nothing alike either. I could honestly say the same bout Europe.
