Driving the Mississippi Delta
Driving the Mississippi Delta
As the author David Cohn once said," The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg." I travel and film these small towns and interesting spots along the way.

My Aunt Sherrie lived in Sumner. The last time I was there was 35 yrs ago. Time flies, it ain't all been fun either, lol. You folks, have a good day. God bless.
Nice. Thank you sharing!😅🤣😂
I'm gonna show these videos, particularly, the Webb videos, to my brother. I left Mississippi when I was about 4 years old. I can still remember certain structures and places. I will show this to my brother . His memory is much better than mine. He's 10 yrs older than I am.
Please include more old house if you can.
Beautiful aerial views! Thank you Bob!
Thanks for taking me back home. I lived the first half of my life in Itta Bena. My parents built a store out on 82 hwy right after WWll. It was known as Huggins' Corner. People came from miles around to enjoy our BBQ. I'm 82 now and have Wonderful memories of that little town. It greaves me that it has gotten in such bad condition. Thanks for the memories.
Loved the music. Lot’s of good people have come and gone since the sixty’s . Would love to jump on the motorcycle and spend about three days on my way to Destin,Florida
They coming back like they they would 😊
Home town will never be the same but it’s amazing how everyone came together to help
Thank you for sharing this video. I miss my home, it won't ever be the same.
@@Vicksburg4599 It’s looking better.
Mississippi spirit lives on
I was born in Mayersville. Thanks so much for this video.
I grew up in Webb Ms! It’s sad to see how our town has went down😞
@@feliciasteele7719 I could tell it was a beautiful town.
I was born in Charleston. Lived in Webb as a small child. I still remember it though. Wish I could go back in time. Just for a little while 😢
@@mariecampbell5540 thanks for watching
Thank you! I grew up in Sunflower ❤ I actually got married at the church in the thumbnail Sunflower Baptist Church ❤❤
Nice video. Watching the ship making maneuvres on the river gives us an impression of how wide it really is. Thank you Bob
My mother's family is from that area. Darlove and arcola. Great video miss home. Thank you
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ruleville and then Drew at age 5 when my mom died. My grandparents took me in and raised me. I wish I had never left. This brings back so many memories, I got chill bumps watching it. I remember when every store in Ruleville and Drew were open for business, nothing was empty. Carhartt was there in Drew. I was raised at 375 South Blvd, Drew, Ms. Love the Delta!🙏🏻🇺🇸💯🤙🏻❤️
@@22addict40 Thanks for watching!
WOW. This is a town I had my first teaching job--Dr. Dewayne Haynes hired me. Things were different back then in the way the town looked. Moving to Huntsville, Alabama from Louisiana-Arkansas was a step up indeed. Seriously, this looks Third World now.
All of these small Delta towns have dried up over the past 40-50 years….
Do something about your scum America
I always wonder what was going through peoples minds at the time when I look at old photographs like these. Thank you from the far north (Kaitaia) of New Zealand.
@@secondchance6603 Thank you for watching my video.
Leland mennonite… boone, nc mennonite… clarksdale mennonite (i know of 3)
I live in California but have visited Doe's twice in my life.....The best steaks I have ever had, plus french fries and green salad......I am ready for another trip.......
@@jimmunding6009 I am too!
We've been through, and recognized from these photos, most of these areas, about five years ago. Especially Belzoni and Clarksdale. The photos of The Shack Up Inn were unmistakable, after nearly 90 years.
@@williampalchak7574 These pictures were taken 1938-1940. Shack up Inn built in 2000’s. Thank you for watching video.
@@bstein69 yes. The original building is unmistakable.
Hi Bob, thank you for your answering mail! The trip took 13 days and about 945 miles at a speed of 10 mi per hour. Does the building in Jackson (at 1:45) still exist?
@@deutz_54 I am not 100% sure but I would think that the gas station in front would no longer be there.
Great content, I've lived all of my life in the Delta, only miles from hwy 61, Rolling Fork, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Nice and interesting video and thank you for reminding us of Sam Chatmon. It gave us a reason to listen to some blues music tonight.

Beautiful drone images that give a good ompression of this small town. Thank you Bob!
Thank you for not disparaging our state. We live here because we want to. We love it here it is home.
Beautiful video Bobby. BB King is my first blues hero. I’ve been to the BB King museum 3 times. Thanks Bobby and Carol. Love to y’all
@@stuartknowles8206 Thanks Stuart! Happy 4th to you and Kathy!
Thanks for posting this video. Last Two Dollars, by Johnny Taylor, was my dad's favorite song...SMILE!!!
Been there before my Great Grandma was born in Cary Mississippi plus I live in the Delta town called Marks Mississippi
Thks for sharing, I lived cross Nelson & Hwy 82. can’t recall any happy days of G.ville. Except the tasty buffalo fish sandwiches. Family moved while I was 9, I’m 68 now. The Miss river or the levy has lots of horror stories.
I’m a member of the Charleston Magnolia Garden Club. Great town
I’ve never heard of Avon. I’m definitely going to need to check it out. Y’all should come to Como sometime. I have a Airbnb guest house behind my 1892 Queen Anne Victorian home.
Your beautiful aerial views are giving a good impression of the landscape and this little town. Thanks from Kai and Barbara
