Spring is here and it’s time to head out to see the world, or at least a little slice of Mississippi before the heat of summer comes in and crushes you. On that note, a couple weeks ago, just before… Read More ›
"To . . . and Back" 
To New Orleans and Back
The old saying goes that the two largest cities in Mississippi are New Orleans and Memphis, and with that in mind, I took a quick trip down to New Orleans for the Preservation Resource Center’s 35th annual Holiday Home Tour…. Read More ›

To Leakesville and Back
Leakesville? Leakesville, you say? What’s in Leakesville and why would you go there? Well, for one thing, Leakesville boasts a fine courthouse and a nice school complex. Plus, there’s interesting stuff on the way there from Jackson, and it’s on… Read More ›
To Natchez and Back
Last weekend, my parents and my two Chicago aunts came to visit me, or I should say they came to visit Natchez and let me come along as a tour guide. My aunts were intent on seeing some of the… Read More ›
A Trip To Greenville
On one of these dreary winter days we’ve been having this year, I took a drive with an old friend up to Greenville. We went the back way, which I loved–through the deep woods of Yazoo County, over the Yazoo… Read More ›
Back from Lexington

To Clarksdale and Back
I’ve been up to the Delta recently, all the way to Clarksdale. I love going to the Delta–any time of year, it’s always interesting and it seems to have a certain light that makes it all seem more lush. People… Read More ›
To Ole Miss and Back
I spent a little time up Oxford way last week and enjoyed it immensely, mainly because the weather and the sunlight were so amazing that I would have had a major case of Spring Fever if I had been sitting inside…. Read More ›
To Holly Springs and Back
A few days ago I made the incredibly long trip up to the Far North, to Union and Tippah Counties and Holly Springs. When you have to make such a trip, you’re always torn between scheduling as much as possible so… Read More ›
To Columbus (Miss.) and Back
On a whim, I took advantage of this fine February Friday to take a jaunt up to Columbus and see a few sites and meet a few people. Columbus isn’t as old as Natchez, but by the 1850s, Columbus had enough fine… Read More ›
