  • Bartow, GA...is there anyone left here? With a declining population now sitting at 156 people, this town has seen better days. After the droughts in the 1930's and The Great Depression, Bartow began to lose its population at a height of 700 and has continued to decline to this day. Once having a hotel, indoor skating rink, several department stores, concerts halls, and even an electric power plant, are now a thing of the past. Nowadays amenities are non existent, jobs are scarce, and poverty / crime is higher than average. I will say this place in many areas even though its dilapidated from the years of ruins, is actually well kept for what it is, and some of it has historic value. Let's take a drive and check out some of the worst, abandoned, and historic parts of Bartow, Georgia.

    The ambient noise and the slow meander around these distressed towns add an element of pathos and heightens the sense of loss.

    Some of those houses look like they were built back in the early 1900's and abandoned by the 1950's

    I could almost picture the people living in those houses 80 years ago. Sitting on the porch in the rocking chair, pies in the window to cool, sipping iced tea. Tin roof houses I assume makes those houses at least 80 years old. Tin roof would've been an original roof.

    Isn’t that something? We’ve got homeless sleeping on the streets and sidewalks to the tune of 40,000 people here in Los Angeles and this quaint Georgia town is fairly vacant with stretches of empty houses. Not a soul in sight.

    I love the juxtaposition of dilapidated buildings with overgrown mailboxes, or "Dead End" signs, like you have here. It adds a poignancy that is palpable, knowing there were people living their lives in that very spot at one point. On a different note, I'll bet I'm not the only one of your subscribers who finds themselves yelling at you/the screen saying, "Go left! Go left! Go right! Yesssssssss!" when watching as you drive through!! 😄

    Lots of history here. Love the old buildings and houses. I wonder how the Civil War impacted this town. I'm guessing all the overgrown areas were once farmland.
