We were here for an antique bus rally. I highly recommend a stop for a photo. They are really working hard to bring back their main st to a once thriving community. The locals are incredibly welcoming and enjoy telling their stories. This place had a population of 26,000 back before the airforce base nearby closed, which devastated the area. Now at just 1,400 population, steel is keeping it moving. They have plans to put a museum on the old base. Just under an hour from memphis, I consider it a must see. A true picture of the heart of rural America and a historical gem.
