If you are planing a move to Greenwood expecting the legal system here to be the same as other cities; then you are in for a rude awakening. Things are not investigated  More

Stay out of Greenwood, MS. Dont even consider moving there. There is nothing there but heat, humidity and mud. No one goes out after dark. The mosquitos are so thick  More
