Say something good about Mississippi!

Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula is the largest supplier of U.S. Navy surface ships, and has built nearly 70 percent of the U.S. Navy fleet of warships.

Vicksburg National Military Park. The Siege of Vicksburg was a major turning point in the Civil War.

 

Well Oxford is a cool little college town with great food options.

They do play pretty good baseball in Mississippi also.

 

Got 2 catfish filets, fried okra,and slaw for five bucks. Can't beat that down there.

 

How much for the doctor visit afterwards?

 

It keeps my spelling skills fresh.

 

My sons and I went there on one of our summer road trips. It's very interesting and they have one of those old Ironclad gun boats there. They used to go up and down the mississippi river.

 

When I retire the Grove on GameDay is on my bucket list. Also the women are beautiful and great to hang out with.

 

It has the Mississippi River.

 

In my limited travels to MS, the people I encountered were genuinely nice.
And fried pickles.

 

Fat Mississippi girls don’t sweat much

 

Willam Faulkner, Elvis and last, but certainly not least, Laura Mendenhall Johnston, my Great Grandmother.

 

Well if u like made up blondes, natural and otherwise that's your spot.

 

Dont think I've ever heard that song b4 and I had a college gf that was a big Dylan fan. Not exactly a positive on Mississippi.

 

In 1974 I drove through Mississippi on my way from California to Charleston SC for a job assignment. Had California plates. Put my Army uniform on the top of my clothes in the back of my big Ford Pinto rear window, and no one harassed me. Happily never been back

 

We used to sneak in there on some nights and play folk songs in the Illinois monument. It's supposedly haunted and features "bleeding walls" on a moonlit night.

All horsesqueeze of course, but there were always a few people who would want to check it out for themselves when the moon was full. Once we heard them coming, we'd kick out "Battle Hymn of the Republic" or something similar and, to our surprise, absolutely scare the hell out of most. I wonder how many folks tacked "and laughter" onto that bleeding walls bit due to us.

I think there was only one time that some one still poked their head in. They were rewarded with a cold Coors Light for seeing it through, haha.

Ah, to be young and dumb again.
