Snapshots of Mississippi

Downtown Lexington, one of the prettiest town squares in the state.

My apologies for the giant windshield crack, but as anyone who lives here can tell you, it is a fact of life. Our asphalt roads and subbases are made from river-borne gravel which is generally round in shape. Once it gets worked loose from the road, they bumble along like bouncing balls and destroy thousands of windshields a day.
