On our recent travels, we spent the night in Meridian, Mississippi. Not too far from the Alabama border, about 1.2 way from north-to-south. We had dinner in the downtown area, and wandered a little afterwards. Interesting town:
Weidmann's Restaurant. Established in 1870, Weidmann’s is Mississippi’s oldest restaurant and is known for serving some of the best food in the South. We had dinner here, VERY good!

The series below are all from the Ulmer Building, which seems to have had a fire at some recent point. Built about 1920, the Ulmer Building is a two-story commercial building with Mission Style and “tapestry brick” detailing. It is included as a contributing element (element #75) in the Downtown Meridian Historic District, which was placed on the Register in 2007. It was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1999.
