Such an example of a Sherman necktie is quite rare. No, I'm not writing about a piece of men's neckwear. A Sherman necktie is an iron railroad tie, heated in the middle and twisted around a tree. This was one of Sherman's favorite methods of destroying the railroads in the South during the Civil War. Along with many exceptional exhibits at this fine museum is the nation's first permanent Civil Rights Movement exhibit

The Mendenhall Hotel on Rt. 49 prides itself on being the creator of the "revolving table" style of eating. The current owners' grandparents invented it.

It's packed with all kinds of homemade food -- chicken and dumplings, candied yams, okra, etc. etc. You grab it as it goes by. If you're up to the proper standards, you can also stay there, because it's an old-fashioned boarding house, with full front porch looking out on the town's railroad tracks. Suitably Southern
