I was born in Jackson in '69. Wonderful place. Even my hubby who was semi-prejudiced against MS prior to us living there came to love it as much as I do. I'm not sure what he expected, but what he found were characters of all varieties. He loves characters. He once drove through a town called Tchula on a Saturday night. That was an experience that he'll tell about till he dies. It was nothing like driving through certain sections of Detroit or Chicago or DC on a Saturday night. :)

I lived in Alabama for a number of years, and I learned to smell the difference between the two places when I crossed the state line. (there really is a difference.) And I love Alabama, too. But Mississippi will always be home.

Wow, you were born there in 69? My son was born at Baptist Hospital on June 8. We lived in Ala. also. Montgomery 76-80. It's true what you say about the smell. I've noticed that every state has it's own unique smell and feel. When I lived in Va. I felt peaceful and when I would go back to Tenn. to visit family I would get a headache as soon as I crossed the line. Ha, I guess it could have been caused by the thought of visiting family.
