On the Streets of Ellisville - Ellisville

I was in Ellisville for the Dixie Majors World Series (which was actually played in Laurel, but the hotels there were booked), and even though I'm from Mississippi, I'd never been here before. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Cute and quaint with plenty of antique stores, mom and pop cafes, and loads of local flavor. I'm adding Ellisville and Laurel to my list of small towns I want to tour.

Feels like a town Frank Capra might have created ... one that lives in a remembered dream of a home we never really knew. Richard
