Where in the world is Tupelo?

Now, in other parts of the nation, who knows what "big" cities show up in your maps to give you and idea of temperatures in other parts of the country, but for the last few weeks, our regional (Southeast) weather map has had Tupelo, which I'm fairly certain is in Mississippi, on the broad view. Tupelo, along with other cities like Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, and Memphis, must be some growing metropolis to get it's name out there so strongly. I'm curious: what decides what cities are placed on our weather maps? And in other parts of the country, do you see my town on your map? Or only Charlotte, our bigger, badder, ruder new city of the south? And does anyone on Mo'Time happen to live in Tupelo or have possibly visited at some point? Because I'd really like to know more about it.

Elvis was born by Tupelo, you know. Of course it should be on the map. Any map.

I couldn't tell you if you or your evil neighbor shows up on the map, though.

Wasn't Tupelo mentioned in a song somewhere? Perhaps because of the late hour, the song escapes me, but I think it was.

See, now if your town was mentioned in a popular song, perhaps you'd also be on the weather map.

Now, for me...Beverly Hills, that's where I want to be...

Beverly Hills, no way...after my honeymoon, if I were to EVER be a California girl, it would be Northern Cali. It was beautiful, and the people were wonderful...a little fruity and nutty, but very nice and open and genuinely friendly!
