Drone Meridian, Mississippi

Aerial drone flying over Meridian, Mississippi shows a town that has lost a lot of it's past appeal. Always sad for me to see a town with such great history and architecture that is slowing instead of growing.
I hope you enjoy and subscribe to this KZbin drone channel while seeing my travels from an aerial view above nature, towns and cities in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, US, Canada, and several islands @ / jamesbebop . Or please visit my photo website with photos of 49 countries/islands, all 50 states and all but one province in Canada that I could not drive through at www.JGlowacki.com . I love to drive throughout the world whether on the right or left with either left-hand steering or right-hand steering and of course I have become accustomed to using a stick-shift with both hands :) I truly enjoy the great food and discussions with locals where I have been blessed to travel. Included on this channel are some driving and snorkeling videos and even a couple bike rides I recorded.
You can also see my beginning drone videos looking at 2016 dates when I filmed in safe nature areas. I practiced how to crash safely, how to fly with three propellers and how to ground the drone and drive to it. I practiced in snow, rain and extreme cold to make sure I understood the drones limitations before I went to the big cities. I handle a drone like I do a gun and I truly hope others do the same.
Please share your thoughts with me; even if they are not easy to read, I need to know how I am meeting your expectations 😊
Thank you,
James

[@JamesBeBop]

Thank you - hopefully they do enough to revitalize it :)

I grew up in meridian. This was great.

[@JamesBeBop]

Nice city - happy you enjoyed the video :)

[@Top-Jimmy]

Gee mate, You Certainly get around!! Last time I commented on one of your video's was when you were in my hometown, Geraldton , Western Australia!!... Glad to see you are still fliming with the BB!! Awesome James!

[@JamesBeBop]

Thank you Mate - I truly love to travel with all my free time and these videos are a way to show the world and those that cannot travel some beautiful places I enjoy. I always hope hadicap and elderly can see some of these in additional to those that want to find somewhere to go :)

Was in Meridian winter/spring 2016. I loved the town. There was an atmosphere there. Falling apart, yes, but a place where people were good. Was in Port Arthur also on that trip, felt the same there. Guess staying for some time, getting to know the place and people would have been great. Enjoying your videoes, just wishing to see even more.

[@JamesBeBop]

Glad you enjoy a lot of my videos - I leave mid September for eastern Europe with a plan of Portugal to Finland, Poland to France and all between; returning in October so maybe a little snow :) Here is Port Author, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6XMemumoMd5pMU .

[@oneshotvisuals9705]

Hometown.

[@JamesBeBop]

Let's hope that investors revitalize your great town with the help of the local government. I enjoyed the older architecture; however, profit is the reason for business and it will take a vision with some concessions to make it grow :)

[@slspringer1792]

Have never been there but, it looks grim.

[@JamesBeBop]

Yes, as I show the city is dying where I start and end, I must also state I saw renovations in three of the downtown properties.

[@ljet03]

Musical score is surprisingly effective also , huh? 🤔

[@madisongrace9567]

I live in meridian and it looks dead but it actually has fun places on the other side of “town”

[@JamesBeBop]

Sounds good - actually looks like the city is also investing in streets etc. in the area I took off from.

[@nordicfalcon]

They’re focused on downtown, but neglect everywhere else. It sucks, but if it will attract more businesses to our area, then I’m for it, albeit skeptical though.

[@brandonspencer9270]

This My home city it’s nice

[@JamesBeBop]

Yeah 😎

I think actress Sela Ward is from this town. It looks bigger than I thought it was.

[@JamesBeBop]

Cool - yes, it is good sized 😎

[@trese2658]

0:44 The tallest building in Meridian... ironically it’s called the Threefoot Building 🥴😶😂

[@JamesBeBop]

lol :)

[@JamesBeBop]

thank you Laura - I hope they make a hotel in it and I will return 😎

[@mikecastellon3022]

Fantastic outro .

[@JamesBeBop]

I enjoyed this music also :)

Hello sir! I am researching a missing persons case in Meridian. The man missing is 40 year old Shawn Zorio, last seen in July 2023. He went missing from downtown. As I put together a missing persons video, I came across your arial footage. Would you allow me to use the footage in the background of the video for Shawn? As an artist myself, I always try to ask permission. Thank you, Kristin

[@JamesBeBop]

Yes, you may use parts of this video to help the family. Thank your spouse for their contribution to society and your support of that difficult mission💙

[@yeahletsunpackthat]

@@JamesBeBop Thank you so much! I will list your information in the description as well. I began working with search organizations and an amazing former LE detective. My husbands cancer has allowed us to work together and help find those who may be lost, but not alone. Thank you so kindly again for the footage usage, and for helping spread the word on Shawn. ❤️

[@JamesBeBop]

You are welcome!

[@spud5234]

This is my hometown

[@JamesBeBop]

I enjoyed the history and architecture :)

[@yolandabrown5926]

Mine too.

[@Caleb_Walker]

Me too

[@theminuteman6211]

what was that tall, burnt out building?

[@JamesBeBop]

Hope someone can answer. For me it was an old factory and the architecture adds to what I look for to capture :)

[@meauxjeaux431]

Looks like a very economically depressed area. No modern buildings, not much traffic, either automotive or pedestrians, and few cars in parking places.

[@JamesBeBop]

I shoot when people are not around to account for people present.

[@johnlaken4351]

No he’s right the town is depressed asf meridian is lame asf and everybody knows it it’s nothing to hide we are broke

[@JamesBeBop]

Sad when nice things get neglected.

[@johnlaken4351]

James - BeBop Yup meridian is becoming ghost town especially since we om quarantine everybody going to Florida or the coast to have fun

[@JamesBeBop]

Good luck.

[@BertieBullfrog]

Very cool. Looks ok?

Can I use some of this footage for a small project I'm putting together for a job application?

[@JamesBeBop]

I have leasing options if you are interested, you can post an email I will keep private.

Is that tell building abandoned?

I live here, it sucks, nothing to do, no where to go, its just a boring old town,it used to be good, but now its rundown

[@JamesBeBop]

Sad to read - good luck.

[@nicholasholcomb9461]

Also, the drug use here is high.

[@JamesBeBop]

I been to Meridian while I was in A School. This city needs venture capitalist to move in to revitalize it's economy.

[@JamesBeBop]

Yes, but what brings VC?

[@brendanpirando2379]

@@JamesBeBop obviously location, affordability, and opportunity. The location is bad it's just dead from years of neglect. Extremely affordable and that leads for plenty of opportunity.

[@JamesBeBop]

Agree - maybe if the Three Foot Building was renovated as great hotel and the city continues revitalization downtown, someone will build something at great pricing to bring people 🤠

[@johnjohnjohnjohn921]

gorgeous shithole

[@JamesBeBop]

An oxymoron 🤠
