In reply to ALH. Thanks for the hot tip on Contour! I'm sure everywhere I blog about as a tourist has many different sides as a resident that we don't see. How could we, in just a few days! But, it was a lovely first visit to Mississippi for this New Yorker!

In reply to ALH. Mama always said, if ya aint got somethin nice to say, keep ya mouth shut. Im here to pass on some of that wisdom to the person who had alot to say about a town she seems to not care about. Please remember that there are people who DO live in and near Tupelo, MS that have a sense of pride of where it is and where it is going. Just because it doesnt suit you gives no reason to spew so much hatred. I hope you love mexico as it seems you are hard to please. I hope you have the day you deserve.

Tupelo born and raised BUT packed my backpack and a carry-on 2 years ago with my Bernese Mountain Dog and hopped a Contour Airlines jet to Nashville to catch our International flight to beautiful sunny Merida, Yucatan Mexico where we enjoy 365 days of sunny summertime weather. Y’all really should have flown with Contour on the way out. They offer daily flights to BNA in Nashville very affordably and the crew is ALWAYS AMAZING! Tupelo isn’t the small idyllic Southern town it was 40 years ago due to serious social issues BUT if you must live in Mississippi it’s probably one of the bettee places. Drugs, crime and homelessness and proximity to Memphis are dragging the town down the gutter. It’s really sad seeing soooo many homeless in the encampments around town. Schools and gealthcare are iffy as well. As are affordable housing. Too many Bible thumpers that don’t do what they preach. Sheriff Jim Johnson does his best BUT supervisors don’t give him the support he needs. So, the jail is a wreck and the criminal courts give the wrong people bail. Needless to say, we don’t miss Mississippi.
