This morning, I saw this headline on their Latest News section on their webbie: A four-vehicle collision has slowed morning commuters on I-49* northbound south of Richland.* Mississippi has another interstate highway? I know I-69 is being built in north Mississippi. The only I-49 I know of is in Louisiana, from Shreveport to Lafayette. Nice way of knowing the roads of your own area. Just keep us informed of heavy traffic on I-95 and I-40 this afternoon. Also, keep an eye out for I-285, too. Sep 13, 07 \| 9:23 am

We preferred the fresh staring eyes to the informed mind and the blunted pencil." Sep 19, 07 \| 4:11 pm

Did they not assign a reporter to that game who could've confirmed the score? Oct 14, 07 \| 12:38 am
