No, but I did stop and photographed the Free Will Baptist church and post office, and the neighboring village of Josephine. I read up on google and watched the youtube video about what goes on there.

I have reconsidered my designations of Campti, Louisiana, and Pine Ridge Rez of South Dakota as the two worse places I've been.

Harlan KY was a huge let-down.

Prob’ly because you retired there.

They have two self-identified Hippie establishments, a homosexual bar replete with rainbow flags, and a Starbucks.

there are some run down parts for sure but I've always believed it was a leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.

I wouldn't live in fear having a home there, I'd just worry about having some crazy white trash neighbor.

I'm actually dealing with that now in that part of the country.

I feel sorry for those people on multiple levels. The guy who originally interacted with them and made the video of them actually gives them money from the proceeds of his channel, but since then people have sought them out like a circus sideshow. I won't watch those videos but my worst fear is they are being exploited now.

When the US Economy fails... there will be many places.

A lawful and honest community will fair better (...and longer) than a lawless community.

I have never understood the appeal of living in a place with so many unbathed strangers.

Five days without the police, food, water, electricity... and many places will become Haiti... or worse.

So be it...

It is what people want... and not my place to change their mind.

More specific than a state, city or town. The Skyland Boulevard Walmart in Tuscaloosa, Aladambama after midnight.

Our nation's Capitol... Washington DC....

My high school parking lot was about 12 miles from the Pentagon's parking lot.

Remember DC as a kid in the 1950s and saw how it dramtically changed in the 1960s, with all the blacks moving into the city, and that causing most of the Whites to move out into VA and Maryland.

Left there to go to college out of state in the Fall of 1970... and never went back. The entire area was better back in the early 70s than it is 50 years later....and in the early 70s, over in the District SUCKED...

I walked around the neighborhood near the 6th St LA Greyhound station (yes, from the GNR song) during a layover in 1995. Pretty sure some of the trash-covered bodies I stepped over were expired, not merely unconscious.
