Thursday, we had breakfast at the rib room. We arrived in Laurel Mississippi and drove around for a while before parking in a lot on magnolia. We walked to Miss Pearl’s diner and took pictures. Then we walked to mimmo’s Italian restaurant to have a late lunch. We shared bruschetta and caprese salad and Steve had chicken parmigiana and I had lasagna. Then we walked to Scotsman general store & Woodshop. Ben Nappier was in the shop however I did not recognize the other two guys. The store was different than I had pictured. The town of Laurel is more like a city. We checked into the Hampton Inn…room 428.
