Greenwood, MS
Third World Hell Hole -
3/22/2009Stay out of Greenwood, MS. Dont even consider moving there. There is nothing there but heat, humidity and mud. No one goes out after dark. The mosquitos are so thick they would suck you dry before you got to your car. There's nothing for 2 1/2 hours in any direction but cotton fields and it's the most poverty ridden place I have ever seen in my life. The shabby bare foot African Americans live in run down shacks while the tiny 10% white population live in a completly different world of company owned expensive spas and gourmet dining. Racisim is alive and thriving in Greenwood MS.
The only thing this place would be good for is to bus school children on field trips to show them how bad it was back before the civil rights movment.
There are alot more bad things about this place I could tell you such as the waterbug infestation, the lizards that get in your bed and the 'delta cruds' (a low level illness you get as soon as you move there that never goes away until you move out) but; there is not one single good thing I have to say about it.
It is a third world hell hole.

3/22/2009I've only been here 4 months for work and due to the weather haven't been out much; but from what I can gather it is a good place. The people are friendly and say they like it here. It is a college town and has plenty of dining and entertainment along with cultural and sporting events. I counted the parks in the area once and there were 16. Tons of outdoor activities. Shopping is not great but o.k. Crime is comperable. Overall I would say it would be a good place to live if you can stand the winters. The one really bad thing about it is the never ending 40 mile an hour wind. My face gets frost bitten or wind burnt every time I step out. Personally, I hate the cold so I wont be staying.
