Clarksdale, Ms and beyond. Blues juke joints where the drinks and the music flow well into the early morning, fine food, obscure share cropper shacks turned into bed and breakfast inns (Shack Up Inn), fine dining (Madidi in Clarksdale owned by Morgan Freeman).
Oxford, Ms there is Taylor Grocery, best fried catfish in the world..all kinds of kooky things to do in the Delta. And it's an hour from Memphis!
