Tupelo, Mississippi has always been an interesting place but as I get older I find myself more and more interested in her history and that of surrounding Mississippi towns.
In looking back into some of my own family's contributions, I found that my stepfather, John Franklin Hill, as a young man started the first taxi service in Tupelo. It was named 1100 Cabs and he bought and paid cash for three shiny new cars when he started his business. His taxi service was more on the lines of a luxury service, somewhat like one thinks of today as a limousine service. He was meticulous with his cars and wouldn't let a spot of dirt rest an hour on his cars, inside or out.
This business was located on the corner of Spring Street and Jefferson where the east corner of the Justice Center sits today. So next time you visit Spring Street see if you can imagine (or perhaps you are old enough to remember) the taxi yard on the corner.
More historical Tupelo to come.

Taxi services are important especially when one is visiting a new city for either fun or even when on a business trip.
