My wait times never seemed extra long and I've been 4-6th in que to be helped.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of renewing my tag at this awful place. First time and hopefully it…read morewill be my LAST time after this year renewing anything and dealing with anyone in this awful state. On August 21st I went to renew my tag and I wanted to get custom lettering on my license plate. I encountered a very rude and nasty black woman named Debra. I explained to her 3 or 4 times the lettering I wanted on my license plate. I did not want a special plate like some people here get whether it's the "God Bless America"(), Wildlife, UNA, etc plates. I just wanted the traditional Alabama nature plate. This fool argued with me for over 5 mins telling me I could not have that and that I had to get a full custom plate. I told her no and that I have seen other drivers with that same traditional plate with custom wording on them. She again argues with me and tells me no but then she laughed at me twice while doing it. She told me I had to pick a license plate from a book of custom plates they have. I again told her no and tried explaining what I wanted and again she argued and laughed at me. That's when another lady named Missy walked by and I asked her to assist me which offended Debra because she so rudely told Missy I did not know what I wanted. So Missy also said I could not have the traditional plate and that I had to pick. At this point I went ahead and picked a plate because time was being wasted and I needed to get back to work. I ended up spending over $70 for something I did not want. The next day on Aug.22nd I called and asked to speak to the highest up supervisor of that department. That's when I got yet another "Einstein" who was even more incompetent and nasty. I spoke with Catherine Miner and explained what happened and she too said I had to get a custom plate. Catherine refused to give me the name of the worker so I could report her. In fact she just laughed and brushed it off. When I asked to speak to her boss which is Judge Rosser conveniently he wasn't there and she did not know when he would be. This past Saturday while leaving Walmart a driver in front of me had the traditional Alabama nature plate but with custom wording. That is what prompted me to call the tag and title office this morning. I spoke with Jennifer and specifically asked if one can get custom lettering on a traditional Alabama plate and she said yes. So I ask why was I told that you couldn't and was forced into picking a special plate when that's not what I wanted. She then chalked it up to a misunderstanding and that Debra and Missy didn't understand what I wanted. Lol I don't see how when I said what I wanted and explained it to them multiple times. When I told her my biggest issue was the customer service and explained how Debra was rude and nasty she said "I don't think she was" to which I said when you laugh in a customer's face and make snide comments that is rude. So I asked to speak with another supervisor specifically the one I spoke with last time and that's when she transferred me to that awful Miner woman. Note to Catherine MIner when you want to be "nice" don't refer to another grown adult woman as "honey". That is a word my spouse and I call each other. If you want to be "nice" refer to grown women as ma'am or Ms. I asked her to explain why she lied to me about the plate and she said "I never said that" and "don't ever put words in my mouth I never said and I've been doing this job 25 years". If that's the case you should know your office policies. You nor your workers should be telling customers no they can't have something when they can. I notice the people in this state that mess up never take personal accountability, blame you, won't listen, and fly off the handle when they are exposed. Had I been told the CORRECT information I would not be writing this review nor would I have had to call up there twice to get the correct information. Catherine then proceeds to tell me they can switch plates at my expense. They mess up, give me false information, don't bother owning up to it or apologizing, and I have to shell out another $70 something to fix their mistake? These are the people that are hired into these government jobs? The bar is set extremely low with their hiring process. I emailed Rosser about this incident not expecting to hear back from him but he emailed me back apologizing, gave me his desk number, and told me to call him Sept.30th so he could investigate my complaint. I called him that Monday morning and left a voicemail. He never returned my call and 3 days later I emailed him, let him know I called, and never heard back from him. This fool emailed me back and said he spoke to his staff and that I was treated well, received good service, and there is nothing his office will do. This man lied and had no plans to speak with me and correct the situation as he said in his email. I see why Alabama and it's citizens have the reputation it has. That "southern hospitality" is a myth.

The city is charging a mandatory tourism tax on all restaurant tabs. Corinth doesn't have any tourist attractions aside from Civil War and slugburgers (specialty burger made with soy filler and costs around $1.00). There are no theme parks, Starbuck's, water slides, wax museums or antique car collections. The grocery stores, although well stocked, lack in carrying high-quality food items. It is impossible to make homemade cheeses because all the heavy cream is ultra-pasteurized. I've lived here by choice and have witnessed it go through many changes and some were so subtle it's hard to recall what certain areas of the city looked like 20 years ago. With the current expansions and improvements (especially to the city park) it is hard to imagine how it could look in another 20 years.

There aren't a lot of displays, as it is a battlefield that isn't as heavily visited as some of the others. What is there is impressive. They do a nice job of interpreting the battle. The artillery and gun ports are equally impressive. Which visitor to a battlefield doesn't enjoy seeing cannons? The bronze castings of Civil War era gear, weapons and uniforms in the grass and in the concrete on the walking path was a nice touch. They definitely add to the "feel" of the place The staff member I met was polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the siege and the later battle. There weren't a lot of people there, and I think he was the only person working, but he did his job very well. If you're passing through the area, be sure to stop. It's a bit out of the way, but it's very easy to get to. If you're even the slightest bit interested in Civil War history, you need to add this to the list of battlefields that you want to visit.

It is the oldest drug store in continuous operation in Mississippi. It is considered a "free museum" also because they have on display, Native American arrowheads, Civil War relics, and an authentic, working soda fountain. This business has been owned and operated by the Borroum family since its founding. I worked at Borroum's for a short time. I remember listening to Mrs. Camille recall an incident from her childhood of her and her father being held up at shotgun point. Mrs. Camille was the first certified female druggist in the state of Mississippi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt0ugLzb2ws&sns=em Some locals can be seen talking about Corinth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmD_7VjXg0&sns=em Biggers Hardware opened in 1918 and has been a mainstay in the community ever since. The store's ownership is in the fourth generation of the Biggers family. December 7,1874, three to four members of the Jesse James-Cole Younger gang rode into Corinth with a plan to rob the Tishomingo Savings Institution. Refusing to cooperate, the bank owner, Alonzo Taylor, allegedly told them, "I'd rather be in hell than in Corinth without money". The outlaws escaped with $15,000. Back in the late 1980s I lived in a small rental house and the landlord claimed that the gang rode through a part of the land, even pointing to the general area in which they rode. Corinth native, Roscoe Turner is the only Mississippian in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. Turner is the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy Race.

The shows were sponsored by the Corinth Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) to help raise funds for a playground. It is said there were insufficient ticket sales to have one showing. While in town, Elvis was reputed to have visited Borroum's drug store and by the recollections of Camille Borroum Mitchell, local legend has it he was thought to have temporarily left his guitar there for some unexplained reason.

Built by hand by Tom Hendrix to memorialize his Native American great-great grandmother, Te-lah-nay. It represents one woman's courageous journey back to her homeland after being relocated to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. She spent five years retracing her steps, eventually making her way back to her Yuchi tribe's native land near present day Florence, Alabama. She is the only documented Native American to return. The wall is a place of spirituality and ensures that the legends will never fade. Thank you Mr. Hendrix, you are a testament to your ancestors and a true treasure.
