Several years ago walking out of there on Halloween, I walked past a guy who looked remarkably like Elvis. Then in the parking lot I walked past a Firebird or Camaro (I think) that had a huge, detailed portrait of Elvis on the hood. It was tacky, awesome, and beautiful all at once :confused:

Yeah, I'm about two and a half hours Northeast of there.
You did know that Elvis is known to hang out at the Silver Star on Halloween didn't you?

I know where Northport is. When I was a kid, my parents would always make a stop at a package store there when we traveled to Tuscaloosa or Birmingham. We lived just across the state line, and MS was still a dry state at the time. Thank goodness for progress and enlightenment ;)

Some time ago the river flooded Northport and that package store was underwater. In the cleanup, all the bottles of liquor had to be taken out front and smashed under the guard of the Alabama State Troopers. You should have seen all the old men standing around almost crying.

The wife and I spent the weekend at a casino in Mississippi and we left early Sunday morning heading home. It was a great weekend cause we didn't lose a dime and got a free room, food, and show tickets. We stopped for breakfast at a fast food restaurant in a small town along the way home, a very small town. It was about 10 AM and we were the only customers. After getting the food & sitting down, my wife says that someone likes the car. Looking out the window, one of the cooks was outside walking around the Z. That's a big complement to me & I smile on the inside and finish eating. Now, I want a coffee refill and can't find any waitresses. Looking around, the restaurant is completely empty sans my wife and I. Out the window I see the entire restaurant staff is outside standing around the Z, some were even taking pictures with their camera phones. As we left we got bombarded with very nice comments. I now have had my fifteen minutes of fame.

Just paint your Z orange with a confederate flag on the roof and "10s" on the doors, and scream "yeeeh hawhhhh!!!" while jumping in the air. Oh yeah, add a cop-car bumper to the front of your Z :)

Hey Grandpamoses,

I'm from Kemper, so I used to live right down the road from Philadelphia Ms. Yeah the Casino at first was going gangbusters but now since the tribe had issues with various things political, the traffic I hear has slowed down a lot.

Yeah,
Business there must really be bad, they've closed the Golden Moon Casino & only open it's hotel on weekends. They've also upped the comps at the Silver Star. I can get up to three consecutive nights any night of the week, free play, and show tickets every month.
