23:46 in this video you’re in the “Horseshoe” of GWC ...that street is Legendary being ground zero for the Civil Rights movement as its right behind the Historical Brown Chapel Church. My Grandmother and family lived there for 40 years at 313E GWC where I grew up. 💯 #ProjectDawg
I was born in Selma in 1958. I lived there several years before going off to college. What hurt Selma the most was Craig Air Force Based closing in or around 1976. From then on it was down hill for the economy of this town. The City School system went down, so people moved out North of town so their children could attend Dallas County HS. That's basically how Valley Grande and areas North came about and grew in population and the 2 private schools increased in attendance. Selma just did not have any leadership after Mayor Smitherman lost office. Now you see what you see. Crime is mostly gang related and nothing much is done about it. If someone with vision was elected mayor and the school system was made better, they could lure all kinds of manufacturing industries to what is now Craig Field. The downtown you saw used to be filled with profitable businesses. With Craig closing and a bypass built from Highway 80 to highway 14, that was a factor that did the downtown area in. It's all sad for those of us who remembered Selma 40 or 50 years ago. It's a shame it's gone down so much. I miss the Selma that I remembered say in 1978,
The big white building that looks like a house use to be from the 50s til the early 2000s was called the United Methodist children's home/ orphanage i lived there over 40 years ago , then selma was a beautiful city crime was almost none existent then, but now ouch its sad! I live in Panama City Beach Florida have now for 26 years
Harvey, Illinois was nice when I moved there in 1970 from Chicago Heights, Illinois but it has deteriorated a lot in the last 45 years(including many towns around Chicago ) ....My parents are from Demopolis, Alabama in Marengo County...they came to Illinois in 1951 (Chicago south suburbs).
Same here! I use to live in Naples. Back in 1985 to 1991. Went to Gulfview Middle school, then off to Naples High, then my senior yr i got switch to Barron Collier. I still remember my old house address.
I lived there 44 years Ago as a kid and that giant white house/ building use to be a United Methodist Children's Home or a orphanage then it was purchased by Concordia College and they lost the property and it's been vacant maybe 10 years now 😢😢 I lived there after my parents were both killed in a car wreck , it was a beautiful city in those days I'm African American and there were very few there then.. but like I said I lived in the Children's Orphanage it was atleast well over 120 years old back then , very good people ran the place ❤️❤️
Don't be scared to go across the bridge!

Great! Welcome!!
My wife and family were born and raised in Selma. She left Selma and graduated from the university of Alabama. She saw your video and loved it.

You are from Immokalee? We used to live in Naples. Small world. 😊
Same here! I use to live in Naples. Back in 1985 to 1991. Went to Gulfview Middle school, then off to Naples High, then my senior yr i got switch to Barron Collier. I still remember my old house address.
Wait Chanticleer was a upscale apartment back in the 80’s It wasn’t the hood then lol
Mostly very hardworking migrants living in immokalee. They mostly work out n the fields. And migrate seasonally
A Historical City, just needs financial help N good leadership. Needs jobs N better housing, stores N restaurants
Yall scared of Smokey City or some? You want a real street tour? Get at me. I see yall really stick to the main streets.
i hope i never end up in Selma again.
Is Selma Alabama dangerous? Why u say quiet for night?
Very dangerous
Yes it is it has bad areas and it's not safe
I used to live there it is very dangerous within the first week i moved in my house got robbed and someone down the road got shot

Lol....dangerous.......God yall funny....cone to the trenches of ATLANTA......THIS SHIT TO QUIET FOR ME
This is the Selma I.know.i.was.born.and.raised.here.in.selma..i.dont.livein.selma.anymore.i.dont.miss.selma.at.all
You only stayed on the safer road's ; you never turned down non of the true rough places in Selma.. Drive through selmont at night...or East Selma..
This part of.is..nicer.but.moved.anyway
Everyone wants to see a train wreck? Sad kind of? Or is it just to learn what they might now know that happens in some other peoples daily lives.
Valley Grande is another city, it's not part of Selma.
might as well be nothing for 100 miles in any direction middle of howhere
