I'm in Olive Branch ... 7 miles to Memphis from my house. Meridian is about 50 miles or so South of where I grew up (over in Bama ... about 1/2 down the state), but I've been away so long that I'm not the one to ask. I would think it is an okay area coz the base there should have introduced a more open/international type of community. It's not a huge city, but should be a great place to live.

Where did your wife grow up? Just hearing about her makes me homesick.
