re: MSU vs Kentucky

I would prefer where I live now (suburban Jackson) to Lexington. There's more here, and I'm 3 hours from the MS coast, and 3 hours from New Orleans. I could also make a case for Ocean Springs, or even Olive Branch as opposed to Lexington. Not that Lexington sucks by any stretch, but it's not overall just better. It has a prettier countryside.

Jackson is half the size of Lexington. I hate NOLA, so that's not a plus to me. To each their own. I live in metro Atlanta now and love it, otherwise we'd move back to Lexington. Lexington is less an hour and a half away from Cincinnati, an hour from Louisville, two and a half hours from Indy, three hours from Nashville.

Good hiking, hunting and fishing close by. Four actual seasons. Less crime than most of Mississippi. More homogenous than most of Mississippi. MiLB baseball, good shopping, bourbon distilleries a short drive away, good dining, Keeneland, DI sports, low unemployment rate, one of the most educated cities in the country, low poverty rate, no cap on ABV for craft beer, liqour sold in drug stores and grocery stores, Sunday sales.

I have a cousin who lives in Tupelo. I've been through the state a few times. To each his/her own, I guess.
