Miss. has a very interesting vibe.
Not to mention the value of seeing the Miss. river.
Don't know which section of the state you are going to cross, Interstate 20 is the middle of the state, via Vicksburg/Jackson/Meridian route, which is the delta area.

Interstate 10 will take you along the coastal route, and you will only see the Biloxi area, now crowded with casino boats.

Biloxi used to be lovely, before the casinos increased traffic so much.
