Tupelo Thursday #1
I’ve been thinking of a third weekly blog to put out and I’ve been wanting to do something more community based. So with that in mind I bring you the first Tupelo Thursday. What I hope to accomplish with this blog is to highlight different people and businesses in the Tupelo area for the local [...]
What point to get involved in the community
SItting here at my favorite coffee shop wondering at what point does this relatively new citizen to Tupelo get involved in the major decisions of the city? I have followed politics pretty much since 1988. I followed the Bush/Quayle ticket and was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. My brother was part of the Young [...]
Tupelo Airport Board fires Executive Director Anderson
Still trying to figure out why they would fire Terry Anderson. By all accounts he has done a great job over the almost 10 years he had held the position. He oversaw the complete renovation of the terminal here and negotiated airline service with both Northwest and Delta here. Why the board would then fire [...]
Tupelo Tonight 10/8
Welcome to the first edition of Tupelo Tonight. The basis of this particular themed blog posts will be a run down of the days events. Some of these events could be things in the news both local, national or even international. They could be about things going on in my life that I want to [...]

Tuesday Wrap
Well the evening is winding down and tomorrow brings my return to work. Today I didn’t quite do so well on my wake up time. I snoozed until about 9am. Afterwards I got up and listened to The Catholics Next Door and let the dogs out and got ready for the day. After letting the [...]

When newspapers make bad websites
I’m a proud resident of Tupelo, so when the local paper announced they were designing a new website I was pretty excited about it. Now a bit about me, I don’t take a hard copy of a newspaper. Quite frankly in the age of the internet when a paper arrives the next day your just [...]
My Day Off
Today is Monday which means it is the start of my weekend. Today I am at my favorite coffee house Joe Joe’s. I am currently enjoying a Caramel Macchiato and 2 awesome tasting chocolate chip cookies. I also have my MacBook out and enjoying the free WiFi Joe provides as well as the great music [...]
Yes I do like to chant Hotty Toddy
I have to admit, up to this point living in Mississippi I was quite neutral on which college to root for in this state. We have the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss as we like to call it down here), Mississippi State and in the southern half of the state we have University of Southern [...]
My new hangout.
I Love This Place!!! It’s my favorite place to hang out at, well at least until Joe Joe’s reopens at their new location.
B&N hits Tupelo!
So starting officially tomorrow Barnes & Noble will open it’s much anticipated store here in Tupelo at the Mall at Barnes Crossing. B&N is my favorite book store and I am looking forward to a welcoming customer service environment that has been lacking at the other book store here which I will simply refer to [...]
Fire in East Tupelo
Apparently at Shell station according to the Daily Journal.
WalMart Sucks!
So we just had dinner and stopped by WalMart to pick up my medicine for my Cholesterol. The lady greets me and says “oh there is a problem”. She calls me over to a second display and shows me the prescription form they have. They can’t make out a letter on the form so she [...]
The Road vs. the Runway
So we have quite a battle going on down here in T-Town. The airport would like to expand the runway by 1500 feet in hope of attracting more commercial and freight carriers. Right now the runway is 6500 feet long which accommodates commuter plains. At 8000 feet it could attract maybe a 737 but not [...]
