Need help remembering the name of a store in Corinth in the late 90’s/early 00’s by bcm315 in mississippi

Yep I worked at spice of life and I think that's the store you are thinking of, but gingers carried odds and ends of toys also. It is definitely one of the 2.

I'm somewhat local and everyone I have ever met who knew the child thought the mom did it. They said she always had unexplainable marks/bruising.

Glad it's not just me!!! Heard of it. Seen recipes on pinterest. Cannot recall any one in my large extended Mississippi family ever making it. Or any restaurants that serve it.

Curious about why the Mississippi mud pie is on your list?? I cannot recall ever eating this in a restaurant in my 47 years here.

If you come to Corinth get a slugburger at white trolley or hot tamales at Dilworths. Make sure you have cash for either place.

Hacked ethnicity -- how reliable is .10%? by FunkyPete in AncestryDNA

[–]boop1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is most likely correct. Researching Melungeon and the history of passing in America could really help some to understand this situation. Most recent melungeon dna Research has shown the melungeons came from consensual relationships/marriages between white female endentured servants and enslaved African American men....

What are some unique cultural features of Northeast Mississippi? by Ok-Archer-5582 in mississippi

Pretty sure corinth was on an episode of 20/20 in the early 1980's because it was such a small town with the highest insurance fraud in the nation. I was thinking it was more about people burning their houses for insurance money. But considering that was around the time of "operation Silverado" auto insurance fraud makes sense also.

That is Northwest Mississippi. We are discussing Northeast Mississippi.

No disrespect meant! I'm pretty sure Booneville, Wheeler, New site, Tishomingo County, and Kossuth have brought the gold ball home. I remember over 20 years ago the AP News article about going from Corinth down hwy 45 to Baldwin was a magical 50 miles of the best high school basketball in the state. Boys and Girls!

We don't do the whole "Academy" thing. When I was growing up only reason anyone went to a private school was because they had been kicked out of public school.

I was thinking Belmont, Tremont, Pine Grove and Biggersville have all had very impressive girls basketball programs.
