THANK YOU ! - Born and raised in Meridian (poor white) left at 10 years old, family moved to calif (looking for work). Me and my sister would go up the 3 foot building and always say WOW ! it's sooooooooooo big. I googled earth and found where our house was, it's now a dirt lot. It was a good life for me, I could ride my little bike anywhere ... and I did. Now at 77 years old, still Meridian pops up in my memories'

First time I've ever seen a dude drive past a sign that says "Jimmie Rodgers Museum" and pay it no attention, drive past a restaurant with a neon sign that says "Since 1870" and pay it no attention, drive past a gigantic Arts & Entertainment Complex with flashing billboards and pay it no attention, drive past blocks & blocks of historical architecture and pay it no attention, but practically jizzes all over himself uncontrollably when he spies a Bed Bath & Beyond, an Applebee's, and a Kickin' Crab.

Meridian has a tremendous amount of friendly people and I wished you would have stopped and talked to a few. A drive through does not paint the true essence of the city. You mentioned that no people were out and about downtown. Prior to the early 1970s, before all the stores moved to the mall, downtown was the place to shop, see a movie and meet with friends. Memphis had Beale street and we had 5th street where everyone congre\gated.

This is not at all representative of Meridian, MS. Meridian is a town full of history with interesting, educated people. It is a beautiful place with some of the most gorgeous old oak and maple trees in the world. It's a shame you couldn't have shown the pretty trees, lakes and ponds around the city and have done a driving tour of the beautiful Naval Air Station Meridian. If you had seen the exceptional architecture of grand historic homes on 22nd Avenue and Poplar Springs Drive you would have changed your opinion of this quaint little town. There are many things to see, such as the Jimmie Rogers Memorial and one of the few remaining Denzel Carousels in the world at Highland Park. There is an old Opera House that has been restored showing the very interesting history of the city. There are great restaurants (Jean's Restaurant, family owned, with home cooking, and the very elegant Weidman's Restaurant since 1870 with world class chefs. I would recommend that before you publish a video for you tube you do some research and choose your driving tour more wisely with stops now and then to talk with friendly merchants and homeowners to get the real flavor of the city. In every city there are depressed areas. By showing only the most depressed areas, you are doing a huge disservice.
