Meridian was revived from 1890 to 1930 from the ashes of the Civil War. With nine registered historic districts, including the Highland Park Dentzel Carousel, it is also known for being the home of many talented people, among whom Jimmie Rodgers, known as the “Father of Country Music.”
The young generation might not have so many career opportunities as the Naval Air Station Meridian and Key Field are two of the largest employers in the town. But for the senior population, it is a great place to be spending retirement years as the cost of living is 14.1% below the U.S. average. What really differentiates Meridian from other affordable small towns is its extremely low housing expenses, which are a third lower than what the rest of America pays.

When Donald Trump was our president, everything was great! Living was easy, no worries of war and gas was nice and low. The border was safe and was getting safer knowing a wall was being put up. Trump had men behind him that protected this country and we knew it. This president couldn’t wait to stop the wall from being completed and he’s letting in all the illegals good and bad. No one is safe because some are sick with disease and hundreds of thousands are coming from all different countries. He has to stop this! He’s ruining our beautiful America. He wants to give them medicare and social security and insurance and yet our vets that fought for this country can’t get help. He needs to go. Fairfield, Ct.
