| | Small Town, Big Charm: Visit Southern Jewel Oxford, Mississippi | Memphis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | October 5, 2004 -- Oxford, Mississippi might not have the educational cachet, hallowed halls, prestigious countryside or conversational heavy pub life of its namesake in England, but it's no second-class citizen when it comes to taking in travelers. |
 | | Mississippi's academic and cultural capital is full of old school Southern charm and hospitality. |
 | | Fifty-eight miles south of Memphis, Oxford is a short drive to Blues capital Clarksdale, MS where Robert Johnson strummed a few chords and allegedly met the devil at the "Crossroads." You can stop over in Tupelo, MS, now a swath of strip malls but the one and only birthplace of the King. |
