5 GOOD REASONS TO SEE THE MOVIE “MUD” THIS WEEK

May 30, 2013 by Gayle Harper 3 Comments

  1. Don’t miss it on the BIG screen. It’s filmed along the Mississippi River in a wild, swampy region of southern Arkansas where there are few roads anywhere near the big river.

Cairo, IL – pronounced not like the city in Egypt but more like KAY-RO

It’s an area perched on the invisible boundary between North and South. The states of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas are all within 100 miles of each other and the accents, foods and ways of the people are a rich stew of these varied influences.
