re: Has anyone ever considered the definition of the word Starkville?

My favorite Starky story was when Johnny Cash got locked up for picking flowers late in the night.

I like Mississippi, including Starkville. I guess because so many South Carolinians moved there after the soil here went bad in places after constant cotton planting for decades.

I have eaten twice at the "Old Southern Tearoom."

No people in this country have ever been braver than those in Vicksburg during the Yankee seige. The Tearoom had/has the best lemon pie I have ever tasted in a restaurant and the corn dish was excellent.
