I've lived in both, plus messysippee (you can have messysippee, one of the few places I've lived that I did not like)
That anywhere near Missisloppy? Been there, had to endure that. And that was in the good part. When we left Biloxi, we departed about an hour after sun-up and we were in Marion, Ill, before sun-down. Not that we were in any particular hurry. While we were there, my wife developed an allergy to the state.
