Re: POLL: Rienzi
Rienzi is a town in Mississippi up near where Joe lives. My link was to a restaurant in Rienzi.

Re: POLL: Rienzi
Relatively near.
It takes me over an hour and a half to get to Tupelo (Elvis birthplace).
It takes me about the same to get to Corinth, which is nearly in Tennessee, straight north of Tupelo.
Rienzi is on the way from Tupelo to Corinth - on a north-south US Highway, and I would have to go to one or the other first - before I went to Rienzi, so Rienzi is probably close to a two-hour drive.
Were I to drive there, I could probably listen to all five acts of Rienzi, during the drive.
... I guess this is another one of those weird “tuba“ things along the lines of “ ‘euphonium‘ is a euphemism for ‘baritone‘ ”.
Mississippi: Come to think of it, I’ve really never entered into that state, except on business.

Re: POLL: Rienzi
Wiki indicates that the most significant event that ever occurred there was a 65 mph tornado that did minor damage there a few years ago...
There's also a 4-way stop, there.
Reportedly, it takes up 1 sq. mi. of Mississippi's available real estate.
