Greed, poor leadership, crime, sorry people and major issues in greed. Born and raised there.
This truly was a gem of a town in the 90's and early 2000's. My grandparents lived right behind the Pines Mall and almost every day we'd be there shopping/walking around just enjoying the city.
Lived on Belmoor until '96.
Yea maineee the mall was a staple! I'm from stuttgart, in high-school we were trying to get there every weekend!
I pray for my hometown more more everyday since I moved away back in 2018 😢
People began moving away years ago. The school system struggled with major problems, companies struggled to find employees with a good work ethic and the crime rate increased considerably.
It is heartbreaking to see what has happened to this once great city
Worker's ethics are one thing but when management acts like they have a captive labor pool, underpays, and skimps on safety then it's a top-down awful gool-ol'-boy culture to contend with also.
Greed and Arrogance killed Pine Bluff. I was born and raised there. Sad situation to see.
Carolyn Robinsons administration pissed a lot of people off as she made the mayors off all about profit.
Bad corrupt greedy politicians, are who I blame. They gave away jobs and stole money that should of been used to uplift their States. Sorry to anyone on the left, but since the Dems were running things, they went terribly wrong and some reps. These life long career politicians are only working to enrich themselves. Joe gives money to build any country but America. Its a damn disgrace.
I grew up in Pine Bluff and have wonderful childhood memories. We moved out in 1993. I pray that somehow the government in PB sees its way to do what must be done to bring Pine Bluff back to the shining star it once was.
I look forward to seeing what happens.
I suspect it was those in government of this city that brought about its decline.
I bought a house here in 2018 and some land inside the city. and man the last 2 years we've been scrambling to find a way out. We used to love this place
I grew up in Arkansas and left once I graduated from UAPB in 2020. The crime got too bad, there was no GOOD PAYING jobs for my degree (accounting), and greedy leaders stealing money. I probably will move back or atleast to Arkansas once I’m ready to retire but the town is simply not competitive enough to keep young people like me who are ready to work in their field of study. I moved to Pennsylvania and love it.
I was born and raised there it’s so sad seeing it . When I went back to down town for dad’s funeral at Ralph Robinson I couldn’t believe how bad it looked .
The Mayor Is Said That But The Action Tho It's Sad And Depressing The Stolen Money Needs To Be Brought To The Light Seriously 😕
I live in Pine Bluff! Cant wait to see this series air!
Dang, man…I want to visit just to smoke some cigars with you. Good reviews!
My hometown, can’t wait til the full video drops great work bro..
Bring Pine Bluff back 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man I miss the old bluff
Lookin forward! 👍🤠
Me too! Lol thank you!
0:34 “Who DON’T live here.” 😂
So is it still not out then? I jumped ship from Los Angeles for PB 7 months ago and I love it here. 👍
It’s still being edited, will be out soon!
@FuhqEwe So... In your eyes, nobody outside PB has anything bad to say? Got it. lol
@@jaysonbarnett4677 No little strawman creating simpleton, I am notating the silliness of people casting aspersions at something without having an informed position to do so.
I still love my home town, I miss cooking out in my neighborhood.
I hate to see pine bluff like this. I remember meeting sheryl there at the saengar theater. The movie scared me and i accidentlly spilled popcorn on her, and that's when we hit it off. she was so fun! It was later when I was shopping for a ring at Pines mall and she rejected me right there in the food court... never got the ring back though. I really thought she was the one.
Pine Bluff started' shrinking long ago, the current leaders just took on what was already taring' apart and couldn't help or were not capable' enough, or not fully aware of it's already fallen structure or don't really wanna tackle the already falllout and to be able to help the tremendous current situation of Pine Bluff.
🙏🏾🙌🏾
The early mid to late 80s' a lot of big business men and women packed up and left town of mostly white and also too some black alike that had any prestige.
After that some of the lower class and middle relocated also to find better opportunities and a better quality of life for themselves and their families also.
I was raised in Monticello and went to PB for shopping and eating out. We quit going because the crime rate is so bad. Noone wants to take their kids out and get shot down in a drive by. Exactly why we don't call it Pine Bluff in Arkansas. We call it Crime Bluff and most aren't interested in living that life.
😢😢
Lord help PB IAm from PB I moved in 2004 bc I seen it. Prayers.
Like south bend in...
It is not hard to understand. City management, Bigoted Judgmental attitudes and basing every decision on Race. If you have to label it with a race, it become a racial entity. The White PB of the 60's and 70's changed to African American (if there is such thing) in the 80's and 90's. That changed the complete dynamics of the city and it has been a cesspool ever since slowly shrinking away.
Crime, businesses and industries leaving, local workforce, the local politicians...there are a lot of ingredients in the pot. Carl Redus didn't do us any favors when hiring Brenda Davis-Jones as police chief. When the kids graduate high school and go off to college, most do not return.
The last part is the case with HS graduates in El Dorado, mainly since the El Dorado Promise came out in 2007. I came back to El Dorado after graduating college and I haven't seen many HS friends/peers around here. There are a few who never left or didn't go far for college and those who came back did so either because of desire or, in my case, circumstances.
Most of those I was around in HS that I've seen since returning were down here for visits or some sort of occasion. And there have been a couple of people I know who initially didn't come back and then moved back for a time before leaving again.
It’s simple. No jobs and corruption in politics.
Because of drug dealers and gangs everywhere. No law in pine bluff corruption everywhere. That close business collapse, and people are not able to find job in this area so they abandoned their houses like me. I left my house and I went to Texas because I was not able to find a job last year.
First they not helping small to big business or in talk how to grow do better. Simple thing in the city where business do good city is good
It's intentional. What you aren't hearing is Simmons Bank owns most of thise builds. Then majority minority in the City of Pine Bluff is Black their hope is that they will move out of the city leaving behind abandoned homes for them to come in and buy. They will then Revitalize those areas. Go forward Pine Bluff doesn't need one penny from the citizens to upgrade businesses. They didn't need it for decades so why do they need it now? Everyone in government has an agenda and it has nothing to do with the betterment of the city. They are only interested in bettering themselves and their circumstances for their families. Most of which is happening through misappropriation of funds. The buildings redeem historic so they should have been placed on a registry to receive funding. Instead they sent vacant causing those who made consider the city as their permanent residence to look pass the city on to White Hall a City built on the tax paying dollars of Pine Bluff.
To allow a makeshift reporter place a microphone before you to denigrate your own city is so sad to me. He should be shameful because he promised positives! He was trying to just make a negative story or spark his own curiosity while everyone here just wants to live. Next time, speak on all the positives in PB and flip the script on him. 😢
A Friend of PB!!
You’re too kind!
So you are saying that people need to lie and cover up the fact the city is appalling. Thats how it got where it is now
@@chadguenther7111 I think that's exactly what Ms. Hall is conveying. I doesn't appear that the filmmaker is being negative; rather, he's shedding light on an issue that has plagued Pine Bluff for the last 25 or 30 years. The exposure just might help the community look more inward and figure out meaningful solutions.
I'm from PB. Rewrite the narrative all day long, at the end of the day there aren't many opportunities outside of the Arsenal, health care sector, railroad, and agricultural work. But as far as I know, main st has been clean for a long time. The best thing to do in PB is to leave.
We all know what happened.
Care to share? You know this series isn’t being made for people who live there.. haha
Some of these people saying they from Pine Bluff. Naw yall from the periphery!! 😂 If you ain’t never came across them track I do not want your opinion of my city 🥱. Plus Pine Bluff is a Black city, we know how America feels about those. Just look at how White Hall was able to separate from Pine Bluff taking even more tax dollars away. Talk about the real!!!
Lived in pine bluff my whole life. Greed from the democratic leaders throughout the years have ruined this once nice town.
Sorry. It ain’t coming back. Too close to Little Rock and no political/business brainpower left in Jefferson County.
Wow. A real life fortune-teller! Can you tell me which stocks to invest in??
dats me & the guys!
My hometown 🤍
It’s not that deep. No jobs. No taxes. No money. People love to hate Go Forward smh 🙄 ridiculous
