r/mississippi

just passing through the state. Why in Mississippi do they not at least sell liquor in grocery stores.

Possibly looking to spend two to three days in Vicksburg. I haven’t been there in about 15 years, what’s new to do and places to stay and eat?

I'm going on a roadtrip from Ontario to Tupelo Mississippi along this route. What are some interesting things to see along the drive down/up? We're a group of 4-5 and are driving down over 2 days, and then back up over 2 days at the end of the week.

I like scenic locations, national parks, historic monuments, and anything popular. I have already been to Broadway in Nashville

I'm considering selling my baked goods, but as I am also opening a small craft supply/craft class/book store in Columbia, I'm not going to be home to give folks their baked goods and take money. If I label the goods separately from my store, could I have a little pick up station in my store? Like a vendor spot? A QR code for sending money to a separate account, etc? I plan to get my cottage food license and whatever, but I'd like to stay above board because I do not play with the IRS nor do I play with my businesses.

I sent an email to the department of health to ask, but I'd like input from someone that might know or have experience selling their baked goods. I will not be baking on site, and I will get an LLC/insurance for the baked goods side.

I just know it's getting hard for a lady out here, and I'm trying my best to make ends meet!

What area should I look for to get a cabin on a moving creek? Gloster seems like a decent area. What else?

Any backroads areas for fun safe driving preferably twisty hilly roads? In diberville, Biloxi, Gulfport area?

Posting for a friend: My work is pretty casual and partially outside, how should I dress for 94 and rainy? I’m from the west coast where it’s pretty temperate, so I’m unsure what kind of layers to bring. Or what kind of shoes. Thanks!

Edit: thank you everyone for your helpful advice! For those who were curious and without too many personal details; my friend works for a coffee company that’s expanding to Mississippi, and has their workers typically take orders outside, rain or shine.

Attorney Ben Crump says 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, who was shot by police outside Walmart in Senatobia, was killed by a bullet that entered through the passenger-side window of the car the baby was in.

Just got laid off from my job and thinking of moving to MS for a slower more relaxed pace and work life balance. I am aware of the lower wages in the South compared to rest of the country. I dont have a college degree nor am I interested any longer in corporate America. Hope to pay for housing in cash, but will need to work to maintain cost of living and retirement portfolio. Since im mid 50s this will be considered more a a semi retirement era. Biggest concern is finding a job. Willing to take anything offering healthcare and 401k. After some research I see there are a few retail corporations such as Walmart, Costco, Sams Club etc. in the Rankin County area with pay scale for positions earning $17-$27/hr. Looking for any information or advice on climate of job market in this area...what to expect? or if pay scale as mentioned is realistic for any blue collared type jobs in MS.

***Did not choose the MS Coast due to (more dramatic) weather concerns.

Who are you recommendations for menopause care specialists in anywhere, Mississippi? TIA!

Hello,

Any recommendations for where to get quality ground beef that will actually taste good in this area? I thought about fresh market but am not sure.

Also thought about Costco but I am not sure their organic ground beef was the best tasting.

I meal prep and I find as i improve the taste of the meals i am more likely to eat them and not eat out. Lately my burgers have been horrible. I have made good burgers in the past but now they don't taste that great. Someone pointed out the beef is lower quality. I previously got beef from walmart, kroger, and aldi.

I also thought about Wilson's meat market, but really prefer somewhere else.

Hi all! I'm starting a PhD in Marine Science at USM this fall, based at the Stennis Space Center campus. Arriving late July 2026.

Looking for housing in Bay St. Louis, Waveland, or Picayune (open to nearby areas). Still deciding between a studio/1BR or a roommate setup.

Questions for anyone local:

Good neighborhoods or complexes near Stennis?

Typical 1BR rent range?

Is a car necessary, or can I get by without one at first?

Any grad-student-friendly landlords or housing groups?

Thanks!

A while back me and a couple friends went thru Vicksburg and stayed the night in an AirBnB near Cherry and Lane in Vicksburg. Well we thought it was vicksburg so it was safe say compared to Jackson and what, but the next morning, my friends taking til 11am to wake up, I figure I oughtta go get some coffee, maybe take a walk through this charming town. I find a corner store about a mile or less away and get on my way. I walk down Letita and should've figured something was off cause folk on their porch were staring at me like, who is this? Not in a threatening way, just in a way of like, what's this fool doing here. I turn onto Speed Street and as I near some apartments there's a guy on the corner who sees me, grabs his crotch, and just mean mugs me the entire time as I walk by, rapping as I walk away "I'M GON' KILL YA, I'M GON' KILL YA," but like, very aggressively at me. I walk by some standard ghetto shit like broken windows on an old building, get to the grocery store, get a redbull or whatever, and walk back. As I'm back on Cherry Street walking to the place we were staying at, a dude walking behind me holding his pants up by the crotch says "this n**** don't know what's about to happen to him" and then fifteen seconds later yells at me asking what the time was. I wasn't wearing a watch, so I showed him and replied to him aggressively in a foreign language, after which he speed walks past me, occasionally glancing back at me over his shoulder.

Anyway, wtf? Isn't vicksburg supposed to be safe? How close did i get to getting my shit jacked and/or getting stabbed?

This gross but I think there is something wrong with the water here and id like to see if anyone else in Madison county is getting sick.
All 3 of my dogs started getting diarrhea, then myself.
The only common denominator is that we have all drank water from the tap. I saw that there have been quite a few boil water notices recently for several other places so i wanted to see how others in madison are feeling

Any good picture worthy brunch spots in the Jackson metro area?

Look for recs on dining, things to do, and fishing/crabbing.
My oldest loves crab boils. My son and I like to fish and have never crabbed but hope to do some. Wife and the youngest love shopping and antiquing. I know I can google all this, was just hoping to hear from people's first hand experience. We'll be traveling to check out NOLA one day. And I'm sure we'll spend some time in Gulfport. Thank you!
