Peter is one of the good ones on YouTube. Anyone from Louisiana that hasn’t watched his series of videos on Louisiana needs to check it out.
People like him are the reason I watch mostly YouTube for viewing entertainment now.

Spent a week in Morenci (and Clifton) in 1995. Doesn't appear a lot has changed, other than Morenci looks a bit nicer and more developed than I recall.
One funny thing I remember is asking somebody about washing their car, and they chuckled. There's always so much dust in the air, your car would be filthy again in an hour.
Thanks for sharing that video, trip down memory lane....

We tried company towns before.
They didn't work out too well.

I know larger delta cotton plantations used to be that way. Farmer had 100+ workers and the plantation headquarters would have several shotgun houses, a general store, cotton gin, post office, gas station. Like a little town the farmer and family would own it all. Most black workers didn’t own cars and town would be a 30 minute drive so they got what they needed there.
You can see remnants of it here and there passing through almost ghost town communities and see the falling down stores and such. A couple tourist attractions kept the original place fixed up like Dockery and Hopson plantations

Thought this would be about Bentonville
Kohler Wisconsin could be in that group too, on a much smaller scale.
