Marks Mississippi - a struggling Mississippi town of 1,500 people. These are the only 3 new businesses in Marks in the last five years.
Marks had only one notable resident, Frederick Smith, who attended Yale University and received a C for a economics paper about an overnight delivery system. He founded Federal Express but moved to Memphis and has done nothing for his home town.
The B&B diversified business empire.
There was a new business that opened eight years ago on Main St. in Marks but it ultimately failed.
Once Mark's predominant consumer establishment, this closed 9 years ago.
