Baxterville is an unincorporated community in Lamar County, Mississippi. Located in the southwestern portion along Mississippi Highway 13, southwest of Hattiesburg. At 10:00 a.m. on October 22, 1964, the United States government detonated an underground nuclear device in Lamar County, in south Mississippi. Residents there felt three separate shocks, and watched as the soil rose and behaved like ocean waves. Hunting dogs howled in terror, and two miles from the test site the blast shook pecans off the pecan trees. This nuclear test, and the one that followed two years later at the same Mississippi site, were the only nuclear explosions on U.S. soil east of the Rocky Mountain states.

Birmingham is a city in the central region of Alabama, and is the county seat of Jefferson County. Birmingham has begun to experience something of a rebirth, as New resources have been dedicated in reconstructing the downtown area into a 24-hour mixed-use district, becoming a truly diverse city. Along with diversity comes interesting art pieces, those hidden obscurities, like the ram headed storyteller fountain at five points south. What are its origins? why was this local landmark created? as many in the Birmingham community believe the statutes to be Satanic or Pagan, which is not the truth.
