We decided to stop at the welcome center for a rest stop after entering Mississippi from Louisiana on I-59 North. The welcome center is an attractive building with clean restroom facilities. The host offered us coffee, asked for a home zip code for survey purposes, and asked if we had any questions or needed any assistance. A very hospitable welcome to Mississippi!
