Indianola, MS: Not The Greatest Place in Mississippi 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Ever since I was a little girl living in Mississippi was a dream of mine. I was in love with the rich culture, the interesting history, and the diversity of the people who live there. When I grew up and moved there I made the mistake of not doing enough research into the town I m ...Read More oved to. I ended up living in Indianola, definitely not known for being one of the best areas in Mississippi. I've lived here for nearly 3 years now and it seems the crime rate grows with each passing week, the place gets more filthy, littered, and run-down every day, and the people who now live here won't even return a smile or a friendly hello. Needless to say, I'm saving up to move to a better area as soon as possible.


At least we have some interesting places to visit and while away the time. There's the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, the Grammy Museum Mississippi, Greenville Speedway, the Museum of the Mississippi Delta, and the very popular and prestigious Birthplace of Kermit the Frog!
