For the current owner of this Victorian Village home, it was love at first sight. “I pulled up immediately and went, ‘Wow!’ That was my first reaction when I stepped out of the car,” says Jerred Price. “I saw a three-story, 1800s brick home that no one had lived in since the 1960s. It had been other things since then. It had been a restaurant. It had been a law office. And during [Hurricane] Katrina, they even had bunk beds in here. There were bars on all of the windows.
Mississippi Day Tripping

With no more ice storms in the forecast, and summer vacation still out of reach, a weekend day trip might be just the ticket to clear your head but not your wallet. When we’re looking for a change of scenery, we often find ourselves steering toward the smaller gems of Mississippi: Greenville, Tupelo, Corinth, and even (wonderfully named) Yazoo City.

Chasing Butterflies

Every year Memphis attracts thousands of visitors looking for good hosts. They need a safe place to rest and a little sweet treat to fuel their journey. Monarch butterflies, the beautiful orange- and black-winged insects, are seeking places to stay, and it’s becoming a challenge because they are facing extinction. In the 1990s, the Xerces Society, which monitors insects and invertebrates, estimated more than 700 million monarchs made their annual migration across the U.S. from Canada to Mexico.

Like a lot of kids, I loved coffee’s aroma long before I could stand its taste: bitter, strange, and as off-putting to a young and delicate palate as whiskey, or kale.
