No way, Mississippi sucks, a horrible place to live.

Check out Holly Springs and Aberdeen for some real nice Antebellum homes. Corinth? The Yankees burned all but about a dozen of them here.

...the Mississippi Gulf Coast really isn't considered part of Mississippi, but rather a tourist trap. Go to Hattisburgh, or Natchez, or Philadelphia to get a taste of Mississippi. The "tourist trap" area is a thin strip of land, fortunately (pretty much just between the beach and the L&N railroad tracks). Natchez is a bit touristy now, too - goes with the casinos, I guess.

I've seen a little of Columbus, but that was many years ago.

Take the drive up the Natchez Trace to Nashville. It's worth your time, and money.

That falls in the category of "not true Mississippi."

personally I think the whole piece is condescending. He sounds like he's apologizing for likeing Mississippi. Trying too hard to explain why he "really, you know, likes those quaint Southerners". He wouldn't understand the real Mississippi if it bit him in the patootie. I love that state with every fiber of my Southern being. My youngest was born in Jackson. Ah, how I miss those Southern evenings with the smell of Honeysuckle and the twinkling of the fireflies.

My vote for real Mississippi towns is Brookhaven. It was once voted by truckers and the most beautiful small town. Things there are as neat as a pin, as slow as molasses and as pleasant as Mayberry.

Holly Springs, The Athens of the South. The locals gave Grant no problem during his occupation, so all the old houses still stand.

I traveled to my alma mater (Wyoming) to see them play Ole Miss in football last season. 3,000 Mississipi fans made the trip as well, and they were great people. I've seen a lot of football fans, and they were definitely the friendliest, most gracious that I've experienced. I'm thinking of making a trip to Oxford this fall to see Wyo's return trip to play the Rebels. I hear its a great place to go.

That Rebel/Wyoming game is 09/24. My advice is the dress lightly and hydrate well.
