My job requires that I travel the entire state. Since we started this list of good places to shop to satisfy our habit I've been driving myself nutty referring to MSGO when on the road to see what's where. Well, this list should put an end to that. I've gone through the thread and listed all the shops we've mentioned alphabetically by city with a brief comment or two from the respective post. It's gonna help me a ton cuz I plan on stopping into all of the ones I haven't yet visited. Maybe this will also make a handy reference for those of you that travel around the state as well.

And yes, I'm holed up in yet another motel on a rainy, windy night looking for something to occupy my time - results below.

Papadawg... I had planned on doing this at some point but had not gotten around to it yet. Thanks so much!!!

Gold n Gun is in Grenada...unless there is another gold n gun

 

[PapaDawg]

Big Mike -

You're correct - there is a a Gold 'n Gun in Grenada - it's on Commerce Street. The one in the list is also a Gold 'n Gun, but it is in Ridgeland - been in there browsing. For what it's worth, there's also one in Gonzales, LA and probably a swarm more - apparently a popular name

Would you say the one in Grenada is worthy of being included on our list?

Later - Papa
