Postcards from Hell: Laurel, Mississippi

A special "shout-out" goes to KweenBeesh who is fortunate enough this week to be travelling for work to the tiny shitbox of Laurel, MS! I have been informed that her motel does not have hi-speed internet, so her online presence is sorely missed. Hope you come back in one piece and take it easy on the Southern fried food (chicken, okra, pigs feet, etc). Can you bring back some pics or souvenirs of your journey? Most importantly, let us know how the shopping is down there.
