LaGrange, Georgia | What Has Happened To This City?

Exploring some of the unique areas in the deep south, I came upon a place called LaGrange, Georgia. With crime 116% over the national average, and a poverty level of over 25%, this place has seen better days. Population is around 33k, but it certainly didn't feel like it as I barely seen anyone. I drove through some of the rougher area's to see what it looked like, here's what I saw...

This looks like a lovely place to live. A lot of the abandoned houses look like they don’t need much work to get them inhabited again.

Nice place, I like it. Authentic and simple🥰

[@cherylkimbley3992]

Lots of really nice apartment buildings. Much untapped potential in the housing. So many could be fixed up and look lovely again.

Finally a town with life

Many of these old houses look better than the 100 year old house I rented in East Point, Ga in my 20's. Just a sleepy little west Georgia town.

You should have been there 30 years ago; this looks like Yuppie town compared to how it looked back then. The What Happened Here is that manufacturing jobs came to what was a rundown farm area and brought prosperity compared to welfare.

[@1940limited]

Big trailer. Window units don't do much.

[@neva7773]

I live here great city

[@andytaylor5476]

Not bad at all but too much crime.

[@1940limited]

The obviously government provided housing looks nice. As for the rest, not as bad as Detroit and most of it appears to be still occupied.
