Sep 2024

I live on the coast in Gulfport. There aren't many Mississippians on DU. It's not as bad here as some people assume. There are lots of nice people here and the others are usually easy to avoid. The only thing I hate is summertime. It's better here on the coast than in the inland counties, but there are exceptions to that. I'd like to go somewhere with cooler weather, but otherwise I'm content.
