Things You Should Know About Mississippi

Now that you know what separates Poseidon Moving and Storage from the rest in regards to quality moving services, it’s time to learn more about your new home, Mississippi. Our movers firmly believe that having all of the information possible about your new home before moving there translates into a successful moving process. Here are just a few of the reasons that you should consider moving to Mississippi.

Mississippi, also known as The Magnolia State, has a population of 2.976 million people as of the latest numbers in 2019. Although Mississippi is often overlooked and underrated, the state has much to offer residents and tourists alike. From a low cost of living to the amazing culture, there’s something for nearly everyone to love about life in Mississippi.

Let’s start by talking about the cost of living in Mississippi. Mississippi is by far one of the most affordable states to live in within the United States. Anyone moving to Mississippi will be able to make a dollar last much longer than most places in the country. In a recent study, The Tax Foundation found that the buying power of $100 varies by as much as 25 percent across the country. Another finding from that same study showed that $100 goes the furthest in Mississippi.

Another great reason to move to Mississippi is found in the quality of education. Mississippi is home to over 50 different technical schools, colleges, and universities. Some of the top-ranked colleges and universities of the south are located in Mississippi and include the University of Mississippi, University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi College, and Mississippi State University. With such a large amount of educational institutions available for residents of Mississippi, the state is truly at the forefront of education in the country.

History lovers will find much to love about life in Mississippi. Mississippi has a rich history dating all the way back to the civil war and the state is known for constant change. One of the biggest examples of Mississippi’s rich history is found in the fact that the state was among the first to fight for civil rights and make judicial changes in favor of equal rights. The people of Mississippi are of many diverse cultures and, overall, the residents of Mississippi are considered mainly very religious. This translates to a sense of community that is on constant display in Mississippi, making them what is by considered to be one of the happiest and most charitable cultures in the United States.

Popular Towns to Visit in Mississippi

Now that you know more about what life is like in the state of Mississippi as a whole, it’s time to narrow our focus to the most popular towns to visit and live in Mississippi. Today, we will be talking about what is perhaps the most popular town in Mississippi- Jackson. Jackson is the capital of Mississippi and is also the largest city in the state. Although Jackson is the largest city in the state of Mississippi, however, that doesn’t necessarily mean that life here feels like big city life. In fact, Jackson is extremely family-oriented and friendly, making it a great place for those looking for a slower way of life. That being said, Jackson is known for its thriving music and art scene as well as its vibrant nightlife.

One of the best reasons to live in Jackson is found in the fact that there is almost always some sort of event to enjoy. In fact, there are endless amounts of festivals and events taking place in Jackson each year. One of the most popular of these is the Mississippi State Fair. Among the many reasons that so many people attend the Mississippi State Fair each year is the live music, rides, Ferris Wheel, petting zoos, fair food and cotton candy, and games and prizes. Aside from the Mississippi State Fair, Jackson is also home to CelticFest, the Crossroads Film Festival, Taste of Mississippi, and Farish Street Festival just to name a few of many.

Another great reason to move to Jackson, Mississippi is found in the culture. Jackson has been home to the USA Ballet Competition since 1979. This event brings in dancers from across the globe to compete in a two-week long competition similar to the Olympics. The Mississippi Museum of Art, located in Jackson, is also the largest art museum to be found in the state. Jackson is also home to the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, the largest professional arts organization in the entire state.

Finally, another reason that so many people move to Jackson each year is the fresh local produce. Those looking to whip up fantastic dishes using only the freshest ingredients needn’t look further than The Mississippi Farmer’s Market in Jackson. Offering the freshest fruits and vegetables all sourced from local vendors, there’s no better place to do your grocery shopping than this popular pitstop.

Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Jackson include Belhaven, Fondren, Lake Trace, Wildwood North, and Wingfield Place.

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!

Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival.
