"How old would ya be, if ya didn't know how old you was?" - Satchel Paige. My purpose in creating this blog, Meridiana, is to identify and capture an essence of those people, places and things that have contributed and, in some cases, continue to contribute meaning, texture and enrichment to the lives of those of us who grew up in Meridian, Mississippi during the ‘50s 'n' ‘60s. And, maybe i'll add a few surprises, too.

Causeyville General Store, Causeyville MS.
This general store and gristmill, opened in 1895, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Stone ground corn meal is produced on the premises. For more than 90 years, hoop cheese has been sliced for customers on site. The Gristmill operates for the public only on Saturdays. The store also features a musical museum. Free.
From Meridian, MS take Highway 19 South, approximately 7 miles: watch for state highway sign indicating a right turn to Causeyville and follow the signs.
I used to live 3 miles from there! I remember going and just looking around the store and talked to the kind folks there.
