I am in the deep south - Vicksburg, Mississippi!
Best things about Vicksburg:
Sight of one of the pivotal battles of the Civil War - had Vicksburg not surrendered, the war might have turned out differently.
Lots of original buildings, antebellum homes, and architecture here.
Small town so no "big city" problems (traffic, noise, etc.)
Lots of trees, wooded areas here
(we live on 5 acres of wooded property and I LOVE the privacy)
Worst things about Vicksburg:
Because it's so small, there's not a lot to do here....for adults or teens!
We have one mall and it sucks! Have to drive an hour away to get decent shopping in!
And that's about it - see, told ya it was a small city
