I was in Meridian for a day or two on business last year. Doesn't seem like much is there. Most of the big buildings "downtown" are abandoned, but there is a crop of newer stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. right off the highway. There's a Navy base in town, but other than that, really not...
