All of those 3 cities listed in DeSoto county are practically just suburbs of Memphis. Technically, yes, they belong on this quiz. Just sayin'...

I'm a Mississippi native. Spent a little over half of my 48 years on this planet there. Missed 3. Two of those are probably because they are only newly in this Top 20, and weren't there when I was growing up there. Those 2 are, of course, the 2 in DeSoto county, other than Southaven, which I got, and which has for a while now been in the Top 20.

I can't believe I forget Starkville, though. I was thinking of the various college towns - Columbus, Oxford, Hattiesburg, etc. But I forgot that one. Wow! I see a huge bulldog staring me down, waiting to chew me up and spit me out!!!
