Mississippi #1 in How Far a Hundred Bucks Stretches
By Todd StaufferWe don't get to say we're number one in many good things, but here's a nice one... according to The Tax Foundation, $100 in Mississippi is worth the most of any state in the country (an equivalent of $115.21).

LurnyD's Grille Named Best Food Truck in Mississippi
By amber_helselWe may not have as many food trucks as states such as New York or Pennsylvania, but our food truck culture is growing.
The Daily Meal recently compiled a list of the best food truck in each state, and LurnyD's Grille in Jackson has taken the title for Mississippi.
The truck has been serving hungry Jacksonians since 2013 with burgers such as the sunrise burger, which has bacon, cheese and a fried egg, and the goober burger, which has peanut butter and bacon.
