Not watching an hour long vid on Pine Bluff but I spent a few days there for work about 10 years ago and it was a dump. Seem to remember they had some kind of local effort to try to revitalize the downtown area. Guessing that never took off.

This guy (Peter Santenello) makes great videos. I appreciate his interviews with the people who live in unique towns and subculture. His series on life in Native American reservations was especially interesting.

I have no idea why they wasted one of the big casino resorts in that God forsaken place.

Believe it or not, just over a decade ago Pine Bluff had one of the best Aquaculture Research labs on the planet.

I’ve not watched it yet- I just posted the embed for the OP… no one likes clicking blind links.

I’ll probably give it a go tonight, I really enjoy these types of docs.

We don’t really have to go in depth in that. Everyone knows.

It started falling apart after 1970.

I used to go to the Pines Mall back in the 90s and I remember going to Garfields.

It is also where Bayou Bartholomew begins.

The world's longest bayou.

Did some work there about 12 years ago. The mall was already mostly deserted and “downtown” was a dump but I’ll be damned if UAPB didn’t have a damn nice football stadium. Looked brand new.
