I came from Florida to Valdosta Georgia . I have no regrets. Love it here.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for watching!

[@susannahsantana]

This is sooooo dope. I am originally from Valdosta. Born and raised. Valdosta is known for being called title town. Valdosta is also known for the theme park Wild Adventures and Moody Air Force Base. Honestly Valdosta is pretty laid back and chill, more of a retirement place. A lot of ppl from Florida move here. Downtown Valdosta really is a better scene at night time and 1st Fridays. Thanks for stopping through and showing love.

[@spaghettilibro]

You forgot to mention the FREE PARKING lol

[@goldenagenut]

Wild Adventures is actually a great little theme park!

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for the info. One day I may have to come checkout the Wild Adventure. I'm still wondering about the locks in downtown. Is it any history behind them?

[@SueLall1008]

I know lots of New Yorkers moved there..

[@deborahbentley8297]

Yeah, you are so right. I moved to a city called Hahira, GA, right next to Valdosta two years ago from Miami FL, so you know I'm very bored and about to go crazy at times. However, Valdosta has a very slow pace. The people that I've met are courteous and appear to be kind. There's not a lot of stress with irate drivers, lots of killing, all the nationalities, the languages, and that other stuff that comes with living in Sunny South Florida. Yeah, it is boring, but it's a peaceful city. I missed my hometown, but I don't plan to move back. If you're a party person, this isn't the place for you. 😮

Local here!!! Everything is closed because the shop owners are all busy beyond all belief and love being with their families. The owner of one of the most popular restaurants in town that just closed ...when we asked the owner she just said, "Meh, I'm going to go watch my daughter graduate high school ..." We may all be closed, but we doin' just fine :) Go to Grand Bay!!! Also...check it...our airport has only 4 flights a day that only go to Atlanta. Free parking. Yeah, free airport parking. Downtown too. Just park your car for free and walk around...🤯

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing this. I was wondering why all the shops were close so early on a Friday. And I did park in downtown for free and walked around. I'll be back soon.

[@SweetThing]

@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS - a majority of the stores are closed because of the recession.. I know this for a fact because I have a friend whose business is buying out the merchandise from these stores that have gone under. The only thing that keeps this city alive is Moody Air Force Base and that base is frozen for any future civilian employees and has been for years. The traffic is horrendous here; I've been on the 405 freeway in California and this town's traffic is even worse.

The one that said it was remodeling is my great grandfathers old Jewlery store. Stephensons jewelers. He passed away almost 20 years years ago and my uncle owns it now but has never done much with it. But it used to be the biggest jewelry store in Valdosta. He started by selling diamonds out of a briefcase door to door. Just a cool little fun fact lol.

​@@rachelfrght3841Hahira or Adel are worth looking into. Close enough to Valdosta but cheaper and safer. Adel is just over the country line in cook and they have great schools.

I never got pulled in the towns, only on 75 by the state troopers. Thanks for sharing all the info, I appreciate at that.

[@LaneCorbett]

​@@TIMJMEANSBUSINESSIt's the State Troopers you have to watch out for, they'll stop you for 1 over. County and City depending on the road you can easily do 5 or 10 over and they won't stop you because everyone excluding them take out back highways 60-65

It looks kind of rough 🥴

[@jaywaymon8231]

It is in some areas of Valdosta

[@inkmonster0u812]

It's not bad. I take my kid out walking at night. No issues down town. We do have two bad areas. Both near projects. All it all it's not bad.

He went to historic downtown which is near the low income area. I used to go to church in the salmon coloured building he walk by a few times across from the Daniel Ashley building you see in the video. We served a lot of homeless people there for years and got them off the street. Unfortunately, the church had to close because the neighboring businesses were getting tired of seeing homeless people around us several times a week. He's also close to where a friend of mine was shot and killed. That's also a prime area for negotiable affection. This is one small part of Valdosta though.

[@TIMJMEANSBUSINESS]

Thanks for sharing. Next time I'm in town, I will checkout the whole city.

[@BasedCrusades]

@TIM J MEANS BUSINESS cool, let me know and I'll tell you about some places you might like. I can also talk about what it was like starting and running an entertainment business in Valdosta.
