Twenty-plus years of documenting the South's vernacular art, visionary environments and traditions….plus modern art exhibits, Faulkner and Eudora, and This Week's Various. Welcome.
On the way to the Ole Miss game, we stopped in Winfield at the Boar’s Butt (update: it’s since closed again)
It burned down a couple of years ago, I think, and now they have this firetruck parked on the front, with the Boar’s Butt logo on the door.
We actually found out about it when we saw the “A Taste of Hog Heaven” documentary on APT.

Before we left Tupelo, we went to the Buffalo Park and Zoo.

Every hour there is a trolly ride around the buffalo park, so we got to see lots of buffalo. The big one is named “Elvis” – he’s *huge*:
The star at the park is a white buffalo, which is very, very rare.
