re: Tupelo - good place to live?

Hernando is excellent. Maybe a 10-15 min drive to the TN state line. My sister lives there. Great schools, but they are growing and probably don’t want you there (secretly great), olive branch is also good, but not great but basically backs up to the state line. Southaven is too big and too much traffic and I would imagine schools are declining, but still miles ahead of Memphis and right in the state line.

My wife’s family is from Tupelo. I go there periodically and I don’t care for it personally, but as far as MS goes, it’s pretty good. Close proximity to Starkville and Oxford are its positives, but I find it quite boring. Just being honest.
