ESA-Shotokan Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 That movie Doc Hollywood, starring Michael Fox was on our TV last week; I caught the end of it. Are there towns in the USA that are really like that? Or is that just an ideal type of thing? I'd love to visit a town like that and experience it for real.

monkeygirl Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Upstate NY has a few that are close to that. For the most part, though, it's pretty exaggerated. 1st dan & Asst.

Patrick Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Fireka... out of curiosity... how did you come up with Meridian, Mississippi? Also, I think I saw that movie very, very briefly and don't recall what the town is like, could someone refresh me on that? Thanks.

fireka Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 *smirk* I was born there. Doc Hollywood = surgeon (Michael J Fox) is moving to Hollywood to do plastic surgery for big bucks, gets lost on way crashes into judges fence in small town and as punishment must work at the hospital for two weeks.

ZR440 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 My buddy left that town last year after working for Peavy for almost ten years. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Meridian killed its only chance at rising out of the gutter. There was once a millitary base, a Naval air Station. The locals didn't like it much though, didn't relize they were cutting off there nose despite there face. It brought money in to Meridian and even got them a Wal-mart. But after a while the aggression by the locals made TRADOC decide to just go someplace else, someplace were they were wanted. It's bad morale to be treated like a huddalum by the people your trying to protect. The Wal-Mart whut down after they left.

ZR440 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 No kidding. Must have been serious to put a Walmart out of biz. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Just curious... as I've been there a dozen or so times and it didn't seem like a very good place.
