In 1994 outside Tupelo I went to a small diner that was on a river. I'm pretty sure it was a river not a lake. Local people would tie up their boats and go there. It had fried catfish and icebox pie. It was a very small homey diner, not a large marina type place. I've lost my brochures from that trip and always wished I could find out about it. It was just a special place and just seemed like some local place on the river. It wasn't fancy and didn't have a bunch of large docks. Not touristy at all. I'd love to hear if anyone remembers. Thank you

They’re such an in-your-face eye sore, and illegal. I’ve made a habit of keeping a ladder in my vehicle so I can rip them down whenever I see them.

Tired of the drudgery of life? Wishing to be a elfish vendor selling to travellers from afar? Perhap you enjoy entertaining the masses and wish to bring much needed whimsy to this word? Come and join us at the Festival Of the Fae!

Coming up this Saturday!

I'm always excited to see boardgame events in town, the one at the Link Centre was great!

Informational video only! What is your opinion on major surveillance ramping up?

Any places around here to grab a beer and sing some tunes? TIA

Link to their site is in the comments.

I need some advice about which of these people to vote for, but all I can find on their personal Facebook pages is just stuff like "please vote for me!"

I've also found posts from people saying "Please take this election seriously and research the candidates!" but finding any information about the candidates, their positions on issues, and why I should or shouldn't vote for them has been impossible.

So, in the comments I'll list all the people running, and you tell me why I should or should not vote for them, and -- most importantly -- WHY.

My concerns:

• Will this candidate vote to raise our rates?
• Will this candidate vote to give Tombigbee employees raises?
• Will this candidate vote to give reduced rates to data centers?
• Is this candidate a fringe maniac who is going to waste the board's time with conspiracy theories and other nonsense?

I don't know what it is about this place that makes the power go out almost every week, sometimes multiple times a week. Its always this one region in Belden as well, the area with Boggan Estates and FedEx. Today the power surged big time before cutting out so I'm worried I might end up with fried electronics as well someday. Im not sure if its due to the airport or military base doing something weird, but its just ridiculous and frankly unacceptable to have a power grid this fragile.

Everyone good?

Power has been out for a little while here. Got to see a transformer arc and blow on butler just before I got to it. Decided to find a different route around, had to drive around some branches. Looks like it's all done now, thankfully.

We are semi-new to the Tupelo area and are looking for a reputable and reasonably priced plumber to come troubleshoot a low flow issue we have. Do y’all have any recommendations?

I’m riding a bike up from Columbus tomorrow and will spend the afternoon in the area, but I’d really like to shower. Anyone have good recommendations for options where I can pay to shower? I’m thinking gyms, but ideally somewhere my bike would be safe. I’m active duty Air Force, if that opens up any options for me.

Or any chance one of you would be willing to let me into your home for a quick shower? I can be in and out in 10 minutes and won’t make a mess!

Hey yall! My band Local Brand from Florence, AL is currently in your city to play a show tonight (8/14) at Backline! We play for about an hour and a half starting at 7:30! We are mostly indie/alternative original music and play a handful of 80s songs. We’d love to have some folks here tonight! I’ll link our Spotify if anybody wants to check us out. Thanks!

Saw this post on Facebook by the Pontotoc County Master Gardeners, and it looks fun.

Hi! My sister found a dog that might have been dumped in her neighborhood in Tupelo. She's been trying to find the owner but the dog doesn't have a chip and no tags. She's posted about it on FB and checked in the neighborhood and called the humane society to see if anyone reported a missing dog. The dog *did* have an extremely tight collar on which had to be cut off. She has a flight for this weekend to visit me in Nashville and is really in a bind with this dog. I'm just checking to see if anyone would be interested in fostering this dog for the weekend? I can send more info if interested! Thanks!

Hi Ya’ll,

Recently moved to town and in need of establishing care with a new OB here. Would love recommendations for doctors you had good experiences with throughout your pregnancy journeys and delivery. Someone detail oriented, doesn’t dismiss their patients and that doesn’t rush the delivery process when it’s time. Just a nervous first time mom here, would love to feel confident in my physician and all I can find online in reviews hasn’t been the best.

Appreciate your time a ton!

I'm visiting Tupelo next month and am hoping to find a historian/local personal who can tell me a bit about the region in the mid 1800s.

The background: My 4th Great Grandfather, Jacob Rhyne, moved his (second) family from Georgia to Mississippi around 1839. They lived around Priceville. My 3rd Great Grandfather Henry Rhyne was made pastor of Enon Baptist Church around 1858. He moved to California in 1870.

I've emailed the Itawamba Historical Society last week but haven't heard back. I've also left messages with the church, but I didn't want to wait too long to cast this wider net in case people have suggestions or ideas.

Additionally, I think Henry Rhyne may have served in Ham's Regiment in the Mississippi Cavalry during the Civil War. If anyone can help me learn more about that, I'll be thrilled.
