My brother and I was born in Chicago. Raised a little bit there, and also on Tennessee. We enlisted in the Marine Corps, and went to San Diego. Those who lived west of the Mississippi went to California for basic training, while those who lived east of the Mississippi went to South Carolina. I wonder why my brother and I did not go to the one in South Carolina since we did live east of the Mississippi. Traveling to Tennessee from Illinois, we cross the Mississippi and Ohio River.

I live in the Mississippi, close to where it begins in Minnesota. It's beautiful, even in the Winter months. When the ice goes out, it's quite the busy flurry of animal activity!

I am originally from Miami I have lived in Minnesota for 9 years. When I first moved here I was told that the Mississippi River started in Minnesota and that just about blew my mind, I was like what, wait how can that be. This river has a state named for it. WOW!!!!

lived in MN raised there too. born in Hong Kong. I associate with the Mississippi more than I associate with CHINA. I TRIED my personal 60's version of floating down the old man. my baby bathtub floated but my weight, when I tried this, exceeded the concept. yet, I still tried to live the huck fin & tom sawyer life style. must've spent more time in the working museums and indian villages than modern ways. I love the Miss.
