Just found out my great grandma was from here. Bless every soul lost and tormented we never heard of!!🙏🏾

My grandfather was a scientist that Stonewall. He was such an amazing man. He retired in 1978 moved back to his hometown of Titus Alabama. I remember when he and my grandmother passed away within a year of each other and going into their home and doing exactly what you're doing. Lots and lots of memorabilia from many places and very expensive itemsinside the home. It was a devastating time in a very sad time. I miss how Greenville used to be and it saddens me how it has turned out

You miss how racist it used to be ?

I grew up in Mississippi. It can be a damn hard life which most Americans can never understand.

My family is the Dobbins. I grew up on Irby street. It was a wonderful place to grow up.

Going through the very same experience in my life at this moment. Thank you for making this film. It helped me more than you will ever know.

If I became a millionaire, I would make a huge donation to revitalize that town. Build entirely new housing districts, bring jobs back to the area, make education a priority for the youth in the area. Places like this don't deserve to die. I want to help out so bad! Love to Greenville, from Iowa!

Im from greenville ms and she is absolutely right yea we have good parts but everything else growing up around mi made me lose a lot of hope as a kid cause it was depressing to see!! And now wen i visit i jus get sad cause we couldve had a lot better but most think they know better but they dnt!!

I know a person from Las Tunas, Cuba who moved to Greenville, MS and likes his new city very much.

That was beautiful.

the gas station at the 4 way stop in Arcola caught fire a couple months ago. A lot of places are shutting down, sadly. K Mart, Shoney's, Burke's, Piccadilly , Aaron's. Thats just in the past 2 years. But i still love Greenville. I love the Chinese buffet, the Library, and Being able to go fishing with my husband out on the Levee. Were getting a Harbor Freight Tools and we have a Dickies Bbq now which ive been really happy about since im a Texas native. My husband tells me that Greenville used to be a popular place, but he has seen it go downhill the past several years. But i always run into people that say theyre from up north, and decided to move down here when they retired. and they love it because its so much mire laid back. For me, ive never seen so many pot holes in my life ! But i just have to still say no matter what, i love Greenville !

I’m from Greenville Ms and it’s not that bad compared to the other towns I mean we can have a lot of things done and made we can open restaurants but they don’t want to do anything I stay on Kirk circle so the part Greenville I stay in is not that bad it’s a nice company to grow up in we just need better places and streets and things.

This town is absolutely nothing. I can remember the day when this town was a great place tolive. I remember visiting my grandparents and Leland every weekend and sometimes through the week and it was the greatest times ever. I remember taking dance class for many years at Mrs. Jackson and now it's just a ghost town with a lot of violence

I went to kindergarten and elementary in Greenville at matty aiken and Carrie stern back in the late 90s and early 2000s. There was a Chinese kid in my class which was weird to me considering the dynamic of the town, however refreshing because I wasn’t the only Asian kid other than my siblings.

My dad was Bobby Killebrew he had Polio when he was a young boy and everybody in town knew him. I remember going to the pharmacy when I was younger have a nice cream waiting on my dad to be done with his business. I remember always buying seeds to plant in the garden and was very excited. I have so many great memories growing up here but it's a horrible place to be today
