Ken,

        Things have really changed down there. Tunica is where Jesse
Jackson walked in Sugar Ditch. It was then the poorest county in the US.
They now have 10 casinos, employing 50,000 + people and Tunica County has
the highest revenue in Mississippi. Unfortunately, few of the local poor
are employed. The employment comes from Memphis. You can't go to a fast
food joint in Memphis and receive decent service. They look at you and act
as it's God's grace if they so choose to wait on you.

        Tunica also is having all kinds of crime and corruption, now.
