I mean even the Cotton District is what two bars you can kind of comfortably walk in and the rest you're packed in like a bunch of sardines.
Starkville needs to shed the blue collar mentality and embrace being cool. Embrace the Starkvegas crap or Swag Is State. Hell yea it's corny but Ole Miss fans have one magazine saying Oxford was a cool place 20+ years ago and they've embraced it and spewed it enough times that people believe it. It's nothing more than buy in
I agree 100%. That's why I liked that Starkville was named the number one town in the South. That in and of itself won't attract athletes but it's a start.
There hasn't been much pride in Starkville and that's a huge issue.
