We have Vintage town Christmas decorations and the town comes together to furnish/decorate the town park! So basically the whole town is decorated and it’s AMAZING!

One thing about Mississippi folk we can make a way out of no way! Poverty doesnt mean anything for us. Most of those houses are paid off and if not they are paying prob 450/500 for there mortgage a month..these kinds of town are all over Mississippi.. oh and Mississippi gas station food is on another level! Taylorsville has a bit higher wage due to georgia pacific close by..

I see so much poverty on this channel and its incredibly concerning, and then you show us a town like this one and it restores some of my hope for this country. It just makes me wonder how these towns can look so beautiful and well maintained, and then the next town can look practically apocalyptic.

A thought about the average income in Prentiss buying low crime and kept-up properties: the town did not seem overrun with liquor dispensaries, t-bars and pawn shops. Perhaps these Mississippians have cracked the code to managing limited income? There are all sorts of poverties, and the least of them is about money. This is a thought-provoking tour, for sure.

Poor is poor. I think what you see in this town is the lasting effects of "old money." Those big homes are probably owned (paid for) by older residents or theyve been passed on to their children. You can't take the financial statistics that you quoted and purchase and maintain homes like that. It's impossible unless you're doing something illegal.

Man, these towns are blowing my mind. Clean AF. Nice, quiet. No commercialization. No traffic. No sirens. It’s almost surreal. I feel like it’s almost like a Twilight Zone episode or something and I am waiting for the twist at the end. It’s like I’ve always said. Even if you are poor or lower income you don’t have to be a messy pig. You can take pride in your place and community and keep it clean. Cleanliness is good. In today’s troubled times those places look like paradise. “Calgon take me away…” Hahaha.

I’m from Oregon but my dads brother years ago married a woman from Mize MS which is just north of Taylorsville. I went and visited a few years back and I remember my uncle driving me into Taylorsville and we went to that Piggly Wiggly. It’s weird because I didn’t realize it but when I was watching your video I thought wow that kind of looks familiar, so I decided to look up where my uncle lived and sure enough that is where we went. My uncle has since passed RIP, uncle Paul. His wife is still alive and living in the area. I’ve been to that area of Mississippi twice now. It sure is beautiful there. I still have cousins that live in that general neck of the woods. It’s such a world apart from the Pacific Northwest. My uncle developed a southern accent while he lived down there for most of his life. We always thought it was funny when he would call and have a southern accent being that he’s from Oregon.

I think the word you were looking for in the town of Prentiss is PRIDE. For a town that has lost half it's population and most of it's businesses it appears to be very clean and tidy. That's where the local folk have PRIDE in their town. Unlike some of the towns in previous videos i have watched in this area. In Australia we have the Tidy Towns award given out yearly in each state and you will be surprised how seriously they take it.

Ah, you are in my old stomping grounds. I'm from Brookhaven and through the 1980's worked and managed three 2-way radio shops, one in Brookhaven, one in Laural, and one in McComb, and our territory was everything around and between those three towns, so I knew the area you traveled very well up until I moved to Texas in 1996. The biggest change was the upgrades to highway 84 as it went from a 2 lane to a 4 lane and bypassed most of those small towns along the way, so it was quite surprising how much everything looks much the same after almost 30 years away. Folks there do tend to take care of things, its only when the kids move away and the parents pass, and there is nobody to take care of the old home place that things go down hill. I do agree with you, they would be great towns to retire in, if they had better geriatric health services in the area.

Your astonishment at finding low crime in a town with high poverty shows how brainwashed we are to believe that poor people must become thieves. I was raised in poverty. About the only "luxury" we had was electricity. We had no running water so no indoor plumbing. We had no television and no telephone. We had meat only rarely because we couldn't afford it. We ate plenty of vegetables because we lived in the country and we had a huge garden. We not only had lots of fresh vegetables in the summer but because our mother canned as much as she could get her hands on, we also had lots of vegetables all winter. Our clothes were either handmade by our mother or came from second-hand shops. The term "Thrift Shop" had not yet been invented. I went to my Junior Prom wearing my best Sunday dress because the thought of purchasing a fancy dress to wear only one time was not something that could be considered. I say this to show that we were clearly living in poverty. HOWEVER, the punishment would have been severe if mom and dad had learned that we stole something. We were never taught that because we were poor it would be acceptable for us to just steal what we needed. We either found a way to purchase it or we did without. PERIOD. BTW, this also showed that just as crime and poverty are not synonymous, neither is FILTH and poverty. Just because you're poor does not mean you have to live like a pig. Poor people do not have to live in squalor because it doesn't cost all that much to keep your house clean and to refrain from putting an old refrigerator or broken-down couch on your front porch and to not park derelict cars in the front yard or have old tires decorating the backyard. It appears that the people in this little town in Mississippi were raised to have a few morals even though they live in poverty. They also have apparently been taught that being poor doesn't mean they have to live in a nasty house surrounded by a junkyard for a lawn. My hat's off to them.

The numbers are accurate if calculated by its own population and compared across years. Rural area statistics should not be compared nationally. But for these communities compared to neighboring metropolitan areas it’s low. In all areas across the Mississippi Pinebelt, if you are good to people-they are good to you; and if you mind your business and let people know “I got protection”-you can live a good life!

Thank you Joe for another excellent video of small town America in the Deep South. Yes , seems to be a big mismatch between between the stats and what we actually see for example in Collins. On the other a hand, a single person with a 30K income AND a modest ranch home completely paid for could probably live well anywhere in America. So like everywhere, the "have and have nots" are often divided by who owns property and who doesn't. Also, the very low average home prices must reflect the number of very cheap run down properties in the town. I looked on Zillow and one of those average nice looking homes run about $150K not $70K which is a big difference and begs the question how people in the town can afford to buy it?

After a bit of a feline drought, it's good to see that you're getting your cat-spotting mojo back 🙂.

Did you have to "throw names" in Prentiss? When I made a shun-piking visit to Prentiss, my Mississippian friend thought I acted rashly and would be accosted by locals wanting to know my business. I never was. Your comment on the houses being nice tells the lie about Mississippi: it's supposed to be universally terrible. In truth, the Delta is bad, Jackson is a mess, and the rest is nice. The poverty levels are based on national standards. In many states, the people in those houses would be homeless. When you say "Does this town look poor to you?" You hit the nail on the head. Lots of Mississippi is like that. Cheapest housing in the country. And hospitals open in small towns. And cat friendly. 😉

I asked in another of your videos I just watched whether you were still doing cat sightings because I couldn't remember you doing it in recent videos. I guess this video answers that question. Jackpot day for cats! 😊

One of your many great videos, I was born in Philadelphia MS, but grew up in Syracuse NY. My father is always telling me about Mississippi, he grew up in Stallo MS.

I’ve got a Philadelphia, MS video in the pipeline, within the next year. I’ve already scouted the town out. It’s nice. 👍😀

You should come to Prentiss during christmas. The lights are beautiful. If you ever visit Laurel or Bay Springs do not be surprised all the space that could be used to create more jobs.

Just because you're low income or considered "poor", doesn't mean you don't have pride in your home or city! It cost very little to keep your lawn mowed and green and the garbage cleaned up.
