re: Hello Rebs, I'm glad to be a member of your board

Welcome to the board. As far as lodging look at Craigslist where a lot of people list their places for weekend rent. If those are out of your range then look at hotels in the Oxford area, Batesville or Tupelo.

Restaurants: Ajax, City Grocery or Boure if you can wait out the line. If not, Rib Cage or Soulshine are good secondary options on the Square.

Bars: Go to the Library. It is worth the cover and a lot of fun. If you don't want to do that, go to Burgundy Room or Roosters.
