All you Mississippi guys

[Katherine]

The manager just told me today that instead of going to Smrya Tenn. for 3 weeks, I'm being sent to the Mississippi plant in Canton. All my playmates are still going to Smryna so I'm really not overly pleased with this change, but am determined to make the best of it. My main question is, what is there to do that is fun (and preferably legal) down by Jackson. I'd rather not spend my evenings bored to tears watching pay per view in the hotel.

There's a real nice shopping mall, Northpark Mall, east of I#55 - take exit 103 (County Line Rd). Also lots of good restaurants in that area. More good restaurants on either side of the frontage roads on either side of I#55 a little further south (like Chillies)(good margaritas).

Lefleur's Bluff State Park (and museum) is on Lakeland Dr. exit 98 just east of I#55. Nice restaurants further out Lakeland too.

Couldn't tell you much about the night life. I live in north Mississippi, and besides, I'm a semi-old guy who doesn't particularly care about night-life anymore. The only reason I know this much is from visiting my daughter who lives there. She could tell you alot more. If you would like to call her, email me for her number. She would be glad to help. She is a teacher and her husband is a resident at University of Mississippi Medical Center Hospital. Hope all this helps.

Katherine, when are you going to be in Canton?

They have a balloon race, but you are going to miss it. 6/30-7/2
Do you mean to tell me there aren't a few Mississippi guys on here that would offer up dinner and drinks?

[Katherine]

Something tells me I'd better be glad I have an expense account, LOL.

[Katherine]

Stumpbumper, the hotels we stay at are at that exit, so I'm familiar with it. I may take you up on the offer for the phone number though.

There's a chicken-plucking plant just down the road from the truck plant..... Just a thought.

Any pulp mills nearby? They're the best.

[Claudia]

Katherine, you should have known better.

Yeah, never as a serious question down here.

Me in a white robe? So far, white has not been my color.
