WERE BACK!!! settled down at our new home. using a hotspot internet since there are no service providers where we live now. It has been a scary, wild and adventurous few weeks. but were starting to come back to normal slowly. No regrets, but many fears. Moving is MUCH more complicated than you could imagine! But potential for rewards are there. It took me years to stop feeling nostalgic over leaving Louisville KY and it could be the same way with Florida. Noting is easy in life all is effort and desperate situations give birth to success. just because you miss the old place or are having trouble adjusting DOES NOT mean you took a wrong turn.. it just means you took a difficult turn.

Soldiers and others invested in South Columbus. Over the years, they been transferred to other places and moved away. Lots of available homes and as time went on, what used to be nice new neighborhoods became worn down and, in many cases, poverty took over. If they had looked a little deeper, they would have found that there were nice, respectable homes and neighborhoods in the very areas near run-down sections.

When I visited on vacation I found the city to have little to offer aside from the river walk, and the city had an overall depressing atmosphere. It seems like this city was abandoned by time, since the banks of the Chattahoochee aren't as important for industry as the once were. Downtown outside of the CSU campus was filled with abandoned buildings, rail yards, and homeless people.

If you grew up in Columbus you may have a positive opinion of the city. But if you moved here, the first thing you notice is how much of a dump Columbus is. There is no safe neighborhood here, except maybe for Green Island Hills where real estate is priced way out of the Middle Class. We live in the North East part of town near the Pratt and Whitney plant, which is where us working-class folks are going, and even here, crime is out of control. We have break-ins, shootings, all manor of thuggery. This is a horrible city. Schools suck. Don't move here - if you're coming for work, look for property in Harris County.

The strip mall stores are inexcusable. A lot of times the buildings and property are not owned by the people behind the counter. They are merely renting. The community should file complaints with their city or county authorities and keep filing complaints until something is done. Demand that the owners maintain their property.

South Columbus Georgia is actually improving they already torn down alot of the old housing apartment projects and rebuilt them all new an example is Baker Village right behind the walmart supercenter on victory drive and Booker T. Washington housing across from the Columbus Civic Center, And Ashley Station Housing they look really nice now and are new housing apartments, and the City of Columbus is continueing to pour $Millions of Dollars into South Columbus to revamp it. they also installed a round-about and put in a walking trail and new sidewalks/infrastructure and new street lights and it looks really nice. like any other city they all have there Rough spots but Columbus is improving the southside at a fastrate, don't know about other cities and what there doing. them trailers won't be in Columbus long the city is getting strict about mobile homes being in the city limits and are closing the trailer parks down and hauling them away. georgia is very strict on mobile homes being in the urban city area's this ain't no Baton Rouge lol. i live in alabama and georgia is richer and got more money than alabama so georgia can move on the projects and construction quicker to remodel these old area's. alabama/mississippi/Louisiana/West virginia are poor states. Georgia is wealthier and in about 6 years south columbus will be all new and revamped, they also have plans to put a Diamond interchange in South Columbus on Buena Vista Rd/I-185. many people say Columbus feels like a small town but it has a population of 197,235 people which is descent sized and Columbus City Limits is very large in square miles because all of Muscogee County is consolidated meaning all of Muscogee County is all Columbus City. Columbus is 221 Square miles of Land, Atlanta is 136 Square miles of Land, Columbus is larger in land size than Atlanta.

@@pinkishOreo the town is in bad shape, thats undeniable.

I live here right now moving soon though. Been here since 2018. Always said that the city needs to tear down all the shitty hotels and apartment complexes and abandon businesses/buildings. That will help reduce the crime and the city from looking so depressing. I like to think of Columbus like it has pockets. You can be in a pocket with 3-600,000 dollar houses. Drive a few blocks away and you look like you're in Gary, Indiana or Detroit, Michigan. It's really crazy to see.

I love them when they was Columba Astros

At 8:36 I lived in that house to the left from 1990 -1991, my last year in high school. It's seen better days for sure.

Instead of improving and making better conditions for those in those parts of town developers would rather keep running toward Midland and Harris county, starting from scratch is cheaper and easier than remodeling or renovating

C-Town!, I grew up in Columbus (military brat) but if you go to forest Rd, Foyld Rd,Macon Rd I do believe you'll not see as many bad areas. C-Town has some great areas, I left in '86; came back in '99, alot had changed but Not the pay. To much of a small minded town. After moving to Atl, things got better for me but after a few yrs of Atl, I moved out of Ga. Went from making 23,000yr - 35,000. Same industry Im so much happier in my current State. If you're not Happy, it's time to move on..... Life is Great

Anyone complaining about how the video is only showing the worst of Columbus needs to hear this: A city is only ever as beautiful as its ugliest parts. This is an honest look at what ignoring a problem over time does. For every "But Riverwalk! But Cooper Creek! But Midtown!" There's a dozen neighborhoods that get left behind. The problems the city has start with the mentality so many of y'all demonstrate in the comments.

These are some really rough areas you are so right about that. Columbus use to be a nice town even in those areas. Yes you have the good and the bad. They use to keep it clean and ALOT less vacant and abandoned buildings homes like the ones in these “neighborhoods “ and businesses. Use to have a very LOW murder rate. My how that has changed. Now it’s a lucky evening local news if they don’t report a new murder case every 12 hrs. There isn’t a whole lot to do in Columbus but go out to eat (way too many buffets) go to the movies and evening time go to a bar or nightclub. The most adventurous thing is white water rafting. Columbus also have a hockey team. They do offer ice skating sometimes and have a roller rink. It use to be a very thriving town that was before the crips m13 gangs. Shopping is ok there. Not a lot of different choices. If you are wanting a fast paced town....this is it! Rarely have concerts. Not a nightlife kinda town by no means!! Especially compared with Florida.

I really thought when i clicked the video, you would have said street names not just ride around showing peoples houses. I wonder if someone was to watch this video and see their house that they could sue because you recorded their house without their permission, since it seems like you could sue anybody for anything anymore.

So sad 😞 to see how they have ran down our old stomping grounds...

It is not the Columbus I used to live in I left Columbus Ga after I graduated from Baker High School in June 4 1976. My parents and my 2 brothers we move to Seale Alabama. I still go see friends that still live in Oakland Park. But I could never ever move back to Oakland Park too dangerous now too many shooting going on in that city

You cannot do a video about the worst hoods in Columbus and not go through Uptown. East highland Bealewood and Wilson. Y'all didn't go pass Cusetta Rd. Lol

Well, Green Island Hills, gets weird.

So glad I left this town

Bless up Forrest rd

When all the industry left the city, it went downhill from there. At one time the cotton mills were thriving. And people had jobs. Then the city wanted to go High Teck. I have lived here all my life.

Why not go through the,Northside and the East side of Columbus Georgia?

Every city has areas like this. You chose only to go through the south side of Columbus. Our downtown area is beautiful. We do have a lot of nice areas as well. It's sad you based our town according to one area. Columbus has a lot of beautiful southern homes. I would hope the people that the people see this can look beyond what you tried to portray in this video. Next time, you should make a more thorough one by seeing more of our city before judging it by the one part of town that you went through.
