Wow, does this convey again recollections! “Mississippi Queen” is a music by the American rock band Mountain. Thought-about a rock basic, it was their most profitable single, reaching quantity 21 within the Billboard Sizzling 100 document chart in 1970. Its most well-known lyrics “Mississippi Queen, if you understand what I imply” is a direct reference to a Cajun woman round Louisiana method he referred to as Mississippi Queen that taught him every part “If you understand what I imply!” 🙂 Although the signal seen right here has completely ZERO to do with the music, it did make me smile and wish to go alongside the paragraph tidbit of informational trivia.
In asking the on-duty bartender concerning the signal she merely replied “I’m new right here and don’t know.” OK, I actually do have an thought, going by its heavy-duty development and meant long-lasting sturdiness it appears like an precise or duplicate of a paddle-wheel riverboat signal which may have at one time traveled down the mighty Mississippi River… then once more I’ve no proof. 🙂 In all essence it actually doesn’t matter, it’s a cool signal that some Florida Keys vacationer or native by-passers would possibly discover attention-grabbing and that’s what actually issues! (If you understand what I imply) 🙂
In case you’re a paddle-wheel riverboat fan or Mountain rock band groupie you will discover this MISSISSIPPI QUEEN placard at 750 S. Krome Avenue, Florida Metropolis inside Sam’s Hideaway. OK, it’s principally on the nook of US-1 & Krome Avenue at Mile Marker 126.7 about 1/8 mile north.
