I wouldn’t recommend the MS delta if you have kids.

Living in the delta sucks but they have one of the best baseball programs in their division. Would not want to risk State ever playing them.
Their baseball team is freaking good.

Cleveland Mississippi, just North of Leland Mississippi which is the claimed birthplace of Kermit the Frog and South of Clarksdale Mississippi which is home of the Devil's Crossroads.
I lived for a little while within 2 hrs of Cleveland but I'm much more familiar with Greenville. Greenville is a rapidly declining MS river town that saddens me each time I go by.
As far as Cleveland goes they did open up a Grammy Musuem recently that I've heard good things about. I've been to Delta State a few times but for nothing specific and it seems like a nice small campus.
I wish I could give you a good dining place but I'm 90% sure I just stopped at a KFC in Cleveland
I probably wasn't much of a help but best of luck

Yes, there are hood-type areas.
Yes, Income is Low in those areas.
QofL?
Lots of good places to eat, calendar of events is full of outdoor live music & festivals with food vendors; plus lots of campus plays, music, et Cetera.
Many of the better restaurants & merchants are in a well maintained downtown.
Lots of nice churches from which to choose.
Basketball is well supported by the town, but you have to go to Greenville to catch a movie.
High Speed internet provider Cable 1.
There are decent neighborhoods, nice homes sell for $200k & up.
Husband is real estate agent.
Didn't ask them, but, private schools are prolly the only way to go; if you have school children.

Thank you Sancho. I appreciate it very much.
Just trying to get my foot in the door in the college ranks.
My goal is to be a division 1 head coach by the time I'm 30.

If it’s only a stop along your path, go for it.

Everyone should spend some time in the delta, its a real experience. I live right up the road so if you do take the job I'd love to grab a beer. If you hunt I got a bunch of places we can go.

This for sure. Won’t be the best stop, but Kent State wasn’t Saban’s best either

I don't mind free beer especially coming from a dry county. Although, I don't hunt everybody in my family does and had a family gun shop. I appreciate it though

Eighteen suspects, including a number of confirmed street gang members, were arrested in a federal operation targeting violent crimes in Cleveland, officials said.
quote:
The list of suspects includes known street gang members with nicknames like "Dookie Pooh," "Fruit Loop" and "Pooh Bear," but federal officials said they are much more violent than their names sound. An indictment against nine suspects states that they were "members and associates of a national street gang, the Vice Lords, an armed drug trafficking organization engaged in drug trafficking and firearms trafficking."
quote:
Two of the other suspects were identified in court documents as members of the Gangster Disciples street gang.
The arrests come following an extensive investigation into violent street gang activity following an increase in violent crime in the Mississippi Delta.
14 individuals were taken into custody Tuesday by law enforcement on federal drug trafficking and firearms charges:
•Eddie Mitchell, 30, of Cleveland.
•Darren Scott, 23, of Cleveland.
•Cordero Walker, 31, of Cleveland.

Cleveland is actually a decent town though. Way better than other delta towns

Crawdads in Merigold is also a great restaurant and is a bar at night with music. This is where the adult crowd goes to drink.
The Hood is the southeast portion of town south of HWY 8 and East of 61. Everthing west of 61 and south of 8 is college kids and middle class families. Mostly white and safe. Northwest section is upper crust families. Northeast sextion is industrial

That was a big sting but take note to not let it reflect badly on Cleveland. This stuff goes on in every delta town but they make a concerted effort to keep it out of Cleveland due to the college and college kids getting drugs. So they’re a bit tougher on crime there while places like Gville are much worse but cops don’t do shite

I went to d state to play ball back in 2001.
Ball didn’t work out but I stayed 3 semesters before I transferred and finished at State.
Dstate and Cleveland are great places to get your feet wet with coaching.
Many bright young coaching minds have come out of there GA programs.
For example: my friend Pete Golding, now with Saban at Alabama.
As for the basketball program, they have had their moments but arnt a year in and year out power like the Baseball program.
If you are single, you want to be there. 3-1 women to men in Cleveland. Between the GA’s, Nursing Students and young professor....you will have folks to hang with your age. I enjoyed my time there and still go back every other year or so for Pig Picken.
Do it
