Greenville
About 29,000 people.
Greenville sits beside the mighty Mississippi River in the flat, fertile land called the Delta. This region is the birthplace of the blues, a special kind of American music.
You can watch huge barges roll down the river, learn music history at blues museums, and enjoy the famous hot tamales the city is known for. River overlooks make great picnic spots.
