re: Cool, off-the-beaten-path towns within the SEC footprint

I saw a ton of cool pics online of Bywater and Marigny. It seems as though it's a grittier version of the magazine street corridor. Looks badass. Would be nice to see a gentrification across the canal of the lower 9th that would encourage demographic integration. It is basically a clean slate.

I really liked the quaint, well-kept downtown of Apalachicola and the mom/pop stores. Had a great lunch at one of the restaurants, can't remember the name though. Port St. Joe was really cool too. Just too many places and not enough time. Muscle Shoals sounds like a really appealing future destination.

Thanks Uncle Tupelo! I've actually driven the 30-A from south of Tallahassee to Pensacola. Apalachicola was really cool. Spent a couple of nights in Pensacola. Their downtown was really nice. Liked the ballpark there too. To bad it wasn't baseball season. Destin was great too btw.

I went to the Mizzou game in Knoxville this year and had a great experience. Probably the friendliest people of any city I have been to. I wanted to visit Sevierville and other cities out that way, (and on to Asheville) but didn't have the time!

I live in Springfield, so I'm well acquainted with Branson. I'm not a golfer but Top of the Rock/ Big Cedar Lodge is really nice.

I've heard good things about the Upper 9th Ward/Bywater and Marigny area.

Hi rant, newbie Mizzou fan here. I figured since Tiger basketball isn't worth talking about, I would inquire about various hidden-gem cities, towns or districts within the SEC footprint. I'm working my way around the South and want to road-trip to various locales during baseball and football season. I have already been to many of the cities and towns where the schools are, but not the surrounding areas.
Some of the favorites I have already seen would be:
Apalachicola, FL
Eureka Springs, AR
Hermann, MO
Magazine Street, NOLA (district)
Any road-trip advice is appreciated!

While Pinkel is a very good coach, I think you must have multiple conference championships at minimum. Gary earned one while at Toledo. Major bowl victories should be a prerequisite as well.
