I wasn't raised here but I Iive in Mississippi now and I'd rather live here in Mississippi than most anywhere else. People who criticize Mississippi mostly don't live here and just go off stereotypes. I've lived just about everywhere from Arizona to North Carolina, from Alaska to Great Britain and with only a few criticisms I have chosen to live here. What's the best thing about Mississippi? What made you choose Mississippi? @OneGrumpyUncle @Person106 I would say some of the best things are that the people here in Mississippi for the most part are just friendly and caring towards one another. "Southern Hospitality" is a real thing and it is alive and well in Mississippi. The cost of living is also very reasonable compared to just about everywhere else. While some things like concerts and shows don't always come to Mississippi you are only a short drive to ATL, New Orleans, or Nashville depending on what part of the state you live in. If you like the beach and seafood you have Gulfport/Biloxi and its casinos. TBH one of the things I miss the most since moving here a little over 16 years ago is I cant get Chinese food delivered around here, but I live in a very nice town where the people at the Chinese food restaurant already know your name and usual order when you call them, just like they do at my dry cleaners, and my dog groomers, and just about everywhere else. On a side note @BigOlePappy I live in Northwest Mississippi and I'm not sure by what you mean by our area becoming a "haven" for racists. White flight from Memphis and, ironically despite it being middle class, low education. Northwest MS is a unique position of awful education, but a nepotism keeping uncultured, uneducated people in power. My ex got her PhD in Memphis and she even noted....the vibe is very different... in DeSoto county, which was her nice way of saying it was a little racist/uneducated. --- "Oh, you think lag is your ally.
