This Sunday, January 24 to HGTV, the pilot of a new series debut. The name of the show Hometown. I’m excited Hometown, going for Laurel, Mississippi, which is two and a half hours in which I live.
The show aired at 11:00 on Sunday, which meant that a large part of the population of the Mississippi was at the church. I started watching the DVR and the moment I was at home to attend the University Baptist Church in Starkville, Mississippi.
In this article, I share general information Hometown, we liked the show and that I questioned the show. (Note that I’m not saying that I do not like some aspects of the show. Rather, my question why do not we do anything a certain way. )
About the Show (from HGTV website)

HGTV Home Town: The Mississippi Review
7 things I liked best the show Hometown.
The Napiers a friendly couple who are the best small town in Mississippi. Erin grew up in Laurel and met Ben in college. Erin and Ben is a great camera presence and clearly care about the city. These cute together and work well in front of the cameras.
1-Hand drawings
under
Property Day, Erin hand drawing showed the potential for house renovations . I really liked because of the purchase of a few do not have to imagine the renovations, you could actually see it! The audience could see on the screen is too drawings in pastel colors. Very cool.
2- Murals on the sides of buildings
The city’s planned murals Erin Laurel was outstanding. It was fun to see a time lapse of the mural painted on the building, which is next to the Amtrak railroad tracks. Erin is very talented and a really special plans for buildings.
3 Memorable Quotes
“Welcome to Laurel, you,” said Erin reference to her murals.
“Safety 1 st America,” said , Ben, when you remove the brick porch.
“Good taste is not necessarily a lot of money” when talking about the pine floors to the second floor.
Blue Chevy Truck 4-
Instead of the typical SUV, which can be seen in many home shows the Napiers drove an old blue Chevy truck. That was nice, and it would be much stretch, the road to a small town in Mississippi. The only problem is that most people do not drive trucks without air conditioning!
5- holding in the
During the show, the Napiers talked about helping the community a house and a couple at a time. Plus, they are also used for local workers in home renovations, interior design and even bought locally.
6 History
“I want something that tells the story,” Ben said as he built the table. The wood buyers big grandfather (I think) at home, and a table and a wooden kitchen island. Ben was designed to the buyer to cry because I meant- the table and did it! That’s so sweet.
Sidewalks 7-
loved the Napiers walking on the sidewalk in the historic district. The visual small-town Mississippi magnolia trees was perfect. Instead of a teeming metropolis, I’m glad the Hometown Americana is another side – a small town.
Things issues
I loved the show and wanted more! The three things I do not doubt derogatory or negative. Rather, I question why something happened. Here we go –
1 Sewing porch
It’s warm in Mississippi, particularly in May and June. Keep the humidity alone indoors seam. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone sew the front porch. If you have a large space was needed, what would make up the cushion and sew a large formal dining table as well. My grandmother, who lived in the third room of the house is also clear out one room and hang a quilting frame that one quilt room. A quilting frame took up the whole room. That was 35 years ago, and I think he was the window air conditioner at the time.
2- Entertainment porch
Full disclosure – I do not get outside summer weddings Mississippi. Therefore, the idea of having a party outside on the porch is not an attractive option for me personally. Do people really entertain the porch? Maybe if it had a historic house, perhaps to do. But it has never been to a gathering on the porch, except for 35 to 40 years ago. My grandmother (35-40 years ago), you can still sit on the porch and under the tree, because the three-bedroom house was too small to fit the whole family. Today is likely to gather in one of the larger apartments.
3- Diversity
Because I live in Mississippi, to feel comfortable talking about this issue. The only African-American to remember the show was the mayor. Anyone who grew up in Mississippi will have friends that will employ other people of other races, and you’ll see the other species when shopping locally. I would have thought that the producers had at least some African-American friends on the porch at the end of the renovation.
Overall, I thought it was a hit Hometown! Congratulations to Erin and Ben Napier Laurel, Mississippi excellent pilot show. I hope that answers the HGTV show, and we will see many more of Erin and Ben.
