We are in Durant Mississippi population 2932.It is 80 miles north of Jackson MS.
and 130 miles south of Memphis TN. and here we are smack in the middle of no
where. We have been here for three days now and we have seen town up side
down and in side out trust me this isn’t a must see town where you just have to
stop.Quarter of the town is falling down.
Now we have one Quarter all boarded up but not falling down
The old railroad depot it still standing.
Now we have the Quarter that is closed
The HOLLY WOOD CAFÉ didn’t make it so that should tell you some thing.
So now we have the stores that we think are open.
There is two police car here so they my not be
open tomorrow
open for breakfast ahhhh It mite be closed
We have two Double quick Gas station can’t beat Chicken
and seafood just one stop.No town is complete with out
a dollar store
Now we are right across from the Double Quick and the
Family dollar right behind us
Yes This is where we have lived the last three days.
Now some people think what happen to there town is 55 went
three miles west of Durant passing them by.Then some think
when the railroad left that did them in. Then some think the
people them self did it. So we will never know.
So I hope you enjoyed my tour of Durant MS. so when
drive by keep on going
Just to let you know some history here they had two
People that died in 9-11 attack.
One in the tower ,
and one in the plane that hit the tower.
Just a small town and they lost two men on that Day.
The town is wore down but the people are,really sweet. They have in 4 days gave us a truck to drive and showed us were to eat AND told us were and what town the Wal-mart is at……..Harold nice post really nice job on it.
Nice blog – I learned real estate lingo when I lived in NYC and was looking for a house – you showed fine examples of a “Solid Brick” house and a “Detached Brick House”!
I just found how to answer you to day. Thanks for reading my blog
