  Thanks for watching! There is a certain magic and mystery in the Delta region that&apos;s hard to explain but hopefully some of that comes through in this video. <br>► 🎥 More Behind the Scenes Videos: <a href="https://petersantenello.com/">https://petersantenello.com/</a><br>► 📝 My Free Weekly Newsletter: <a href="https://www.bit.ly/3HC36EH">https://www.bit.ly/3HC36EH</a><br>► 👕 Merch: <a href="https://innercircle.petersantenello.com/collections/all">https://innercircle.petersantenello.com/collections/all</a>

  The Mayor getting in touch with the Dollar General to build a store speaks to his ability as mayor. Good for him! He clearly cares about his community.

  Peter, your documentation of america opens our eyes that we do not have a racial divide in this country. We have a class divide. Which in most places disproportionately affects black people. When we have communities like this of impoverished white and black people they are all in it together.

  Being from a town like Alligator, MS, I&apos;m glad I made it out. I read books to occupy the boredom of growing up in an improverished town. Graduated high school, graduated college, got a career, &nbsp;worked in corporate America for 10 years, moved to California, started and maintaining a smoothie business. I&apos;ve always had to work twice as hard, but I made it, coming from a 37 year old black woman, I always believed I could despite my environment and basic resourcecs. Never give up!

  Peter, I know you won&apos;t see this &nbsp;comment, bur if you did, I want to say that helping that woman with her balloons for her moms &nbsp;death was super beautiful man. &nbsp;That&apos;s a great thing to have done. Really proud of that part of you.

  I live in Germany. I love your videos because they are the mirror of people, culture and country. No drama, no fancy music, no special effects. Only people and country that talk for themselves.<br>Thank you!

  RIP to the gentlelady that lost her mom. I lost my mom suddenly too but she was 56. Love your parents while you still have them. Don&apos;t wait until it&apos;s too late and they are no longer around for you to love on them.

  if yall ever wondered why the blues started in mississippi and has the most prominent blues singers, its because they&apos;ve always had a different type of struggle...and that struggle is one of the many things that made the blues great

  I love salt of the earth people like the Mayor, the man in camo and the first gentleman you first featured. They&apos;re real honest people.

  I love how the gentleman in Alligator with the walker finally caught up with you down the road, truly speaks volumes of the size of that place!

  The gentleman in the passenger seat with glasses and orange T-shirt deserves a raise regardless of how much he makes. Well spoken, eloquent even. Most of all HE GETS IT. He has a motivation behind what he’s doing. He’s not just interested in a paycheck but understands the long term big picture of the livelihood for his town. And he’s working towards that!
