Mississippi - A state filled with hidden treasures
Mississippi is a state that seems to rank at the bottom of everything.. poorest, worst health, largest income gap, lowest education, etc. etc.
Mississippi, a state that deters tourists with it's bad reputation, is also a state filled with untouristed hidden secrets. Including beautiful towns, amazing culture, great food, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. In this thread, I'll exploit some of these treasures. |

Nice thread. I used to live in Greenville, MS and later on move to West Helena, AR. Both States are pretty much at the bottom of everything but they do have their southern charm. Nice pics BTW.
