You're certainly right about the dumpy hotels ... the whole city would be better off if they were demolished and replaced with new ones. I've stayed in a couple of them when a decent hotel in Starkville didn't exist.

You can't just build a Starkville Cafe overnight ... it's a tradition that takes a long time to develop. The atmosphere is just as good as the food and it can't really be duplicated. I've been to City Bagel once and thought it was OK. It was on a Sunday morning of a game weekend and it was crowded with students who got up pretty early. I like the coffee shop downtown ... 121 or something of the sort.
