Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel. The town had to sleep, and I was feelin' fairly well. I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees. I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze. -- from "Starkville City Jail" by Johnny Cash
Wherefore art thou Starkville, Mississippi? Oh, yes, you are only a few hoots away from the western state line of Alabama and some hollers from Interstate 55, with Highway 82 connecting both. Starkville advertises itself as "Mississippi's College Town" for a very good reason: it's the home of Mississippi State University (MSU.) But wait! There's more than meets the eye.
