Lynyrd Skynyrd Memorial
SUMMARY: Last Sunday, we visited Gillsburg Baptist Church in South Mississippi and made a detour to the Lynyrd Skynyrd Monument, located on Easley Road. This monument marks the site of the 1977 plane crash that killed several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, including band leader Ronnie VanZant and backup singer Cassie Gaines. The band was traveling to Baton Rouge after a performance in Greenville when the plane ran out of fuel and crashed. Established in 2019, the memorial serves as a tribute to the band and is now a significant music pilgrimage site in Mississippi.

Highway 80 bridge closed starting Monday
SUMMARY: Starting Monday, the Highway 80 bridge across the Pearl River will close for major repairs, impacting drivers in Hinds and Rankin counties. MDOT will replace three massive girders as part of a $9 million project. This work coincides with ongoing I-55 lane closures, causing additional traffic congestion. Local businesses, such as Van Life, are concerned about the impact on customer access and shipments. Drivers are advised to find alternative routes, though some local drivers are familiar with detours. The I-55 project is expected to be completed early next year, but the bridge repairs may take up to nine months.
Highway 80 Bridge to be closed for at least 9 months
