Southern Backroads: 10 Abandoned Places Locations Across the American South

[@lorrik.7341]

As usual, great video and photographs from you two. When my husband and I are traveling and we come across abandoned houses and buildings like those, I always wonder who lived there, did they have children, what were their hopes and dreams, etc... And, the closer you get to those abandoned buildings, the more likely you are to hear their story. Through the cracks of the grey weathered wood or an old piano on a broken down front porch, there is a story to be told. And, yes, once they are gone, the whispers of their stories stop. You two are definitely memorializing those places, and I, for one, am grateful for that.

Thank you Lori! Like you, I wonder about those people who lived or worked in these places too. I appreciate your comments!

Really loved this. So fascinating and relaxing at the same time.

Hello, my dear friends. Another very good and beautiful video. The video work is great, some shots are photos. And the creativity is beautiful to see that you are taking pictures and Teena drives past with the car. But the photos are really beautiful, mate. Really of very high quality, Fuji knows what a good photo needs. I would almost be jealous of the possibilities you have there. Beautiful abandoned houses with character and those old cars and tools are to die for. What I find a pity is that you did not take a photo of that gas station at the end, for me that would have been worth a few clicks. Thank you for this nice half hour. For me, every video of yours is a party. It inspires and motivates me to go out and take pictures, friend. Antoine.

You are very kind Antoine! Teena and I both look forward to hearing from you each week.

I've always loved old school houses. We have quite a few in my area that have been turned into private homes and a couple that are preserved has museums. That traffic jam find is a great story. Google Maps should have a route filter called "abandoned places' ! LOL! To me, fog and bare trees area jackpot. That skull was very cool too. Thanks for taking us along!! Have a great weekend.

[@Keithdotson]

Thanks for watching and commenting Charlie. I like the idea of the filter! Yeah Tennessee suffers from frequent long traffic jams especially anywhere near Nashville

4:30 mark...the old school building...for some reason, my eye is drawn to the bell loft...the frame is still there but the siding is long gone...just about says it all. Another great video, Keith and Teena. Stay safe !

[@Keithdotson]

Thanks George! That old school is very compelling to me.

I look forward to all these places and the photographic record being in a book one day? I'd definitely buy a copy and treasure it.

[@Keithdotson]

Thank you for the suggestion! It is part of the plan! And thanks for being a loyal viewer

Is this in Arkansas?

[@Keithdotson]

It's a compilation filmed in various states: Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and the very last one (#10) is in Arkansas

Some places are scary, it says something about humans and it's a lot of questions. Why no-one takes care of those buildings/cars. I have a weird feeling.

[@Keithdotson]

Agreed! The spooky feeling comes across loud and clear in person too
