Statesboro is the largest city and county seat of Bulloch County, Georgia, United States,[4] located in the southeastern part of the state.
Statesboro is home to the flagship campus of Georgia Southern University and is part of the Savannah-Hinesville-Statesboro Combined Statistical Area.[5] As of 2018, the Statesboro Micropolitan Statistical Area, which consists of Bulloch County, had an estimated population of 74,722.[6] The city had an estimated 2019 population of 32,954.[7] Statesboro is the largest Micropolitan Statistical Area in Georgia. It is the largest city in the Magnolia Midlands Region.
The city was chartered in 1803, starting as a small trading community providing basic essentials for surrounding cotton plantations. This drove the economy throughout the 19th century, both before and after the U.S. Civil War.
In 1906, Statesboro and area leaders joined together to bid for and win the First District A&M School, a land grant college that eventually developed into Georgia Southern University.
Statesboro inspired the blues song "Statesboro Blues", written by Blind Willie McTell in the 1920s, and covered in a well-known version by the Allman Brothers Band.[8]
In 2017, Statesboro was selected in the top three of the national America's Best Communities competition and was named one of nine Georgia "live, work, play" cities by the Georgia Municipal Association.[9][10]

I think that's my truck in the KFC parking lot at 23:35, between the tall bush next to the building and the pole. I've worked there for five and a half years, but the 22nd will be my last day.
I grew up in Statesboro. I left there is 94-95 time frame. Its definitely a magical little town. I have wanted to move back for years
Great video. I arrived in Statesboro in 1972 and worked in a foreign car shop across from the then college. The building was located at 6:44 in the video on the right hand side. It was torn down some time ago. Back then Statesboro had no circumferential road and the Interstate stopped abruptly not too far away from Savannah. The main highway through Statesboro was busy and downtown was packed with cars. The town was still extremely segregated and the college was bursting at the seams. New dorms were being built, all 2 story motel style buildings with swimming pools. I lived in a defunct motel further out and later on at 208A vista circle in a tiny house which still exists. I left in 1973 to attend school in Tucson Arizona and never returned.

I was in town in 1986 till 88. Back then, there were some defunt buildings at down town intersection. Actually most of the buildings there were vacant. There were only one two story motel, which was Holiday Inn, was expensive compared to other motels, Travel Inn, Syles mortel etc, and cost 40 dollars per night. About college, it was much smaller than current university and several dorms, Brannen, Dorman, Lewis, Olif, Winburn Hendrix and some others were still there but converted into some other use. Stateboro Mall was the biggest shopping center in this region and was still quite new. When I visited in year 2016, it was still there but sopping area seemed to have moved to the place near university. Anyway, video was good to take me back to 80s.
I love stateboro I went to work there for pipeline like 6 months.
