With this tower in our backyard, I'll bet we could get a cell phone signal, but I really wouldn't want this tower in our backyard.

Lafayette County Courthouse

Lafayette County Courthouse (Oxford, MS)

I was wandering around in the early morning, taking photos while waiting for the square to open for booth set up at Double Decker Arts Festival.

Tow Trucks

Before we can start setting up for the show, cars left parked on the Oxford town square must be towed away.  Numerous signs warn drivers not to leave their vehicles overnight, but there are always many cars that must be removed.   Tow trucks circle the square like vultures.  The several bars on or near the square just might contribute to the number of folks who do not see, heed and/or remember to remove their cars.

Waiting In Line

Waiting in line before we can set up at Double Decker Arts Festival in Oxford, MS. Artists are allowed onto the courthouse square at 7:30 AM or so, but you if you want to park and unload anywhere near your booth location, you have to get in line by six o'clock so you'll be one of the first vehicles allowed onto the square.  We got in line a little before six o'clock and were still about twenty vehicles back from the front of the line.  Our van is a couple of vehicles behind that yellow box truck.

Bates Motel

While in Mississippi for the Double Decker Art Fair in Oxford, we stayed at the Bates' Motel.

Or, maybe, it was the Days Inn in Batesville, Mississippi?

Leave Tennessee and Lose A Lane

About to leave Tennessee heading south on Interstate 55 outside of Memphis. Mississippi provides one less traffic lane.
