Oxford (Mississippi) - Oxford (Mississippi)

Oxford je povijesni, slikoviti gradić u sjevernom središnjem dijelu Mississippi. Sa svojim slikovitim gradskim trgom, hvaljenim restoranima, jedinstvenim buticima, četvrtima zasjenjenim hrastom i ljubaznim ljudima, Oxford je uzor južnog grada. Nazvan po engleskom Oxfordu, u nadi da će privući sveučilište, grad je 1848. godine odabran za dom Sveučilišta u Mississippiju, koje danas dominira životom ovdje.

Shvati

Oxford je dom Sveučilišta Mississippi, od milja poznatog kao Ole gospođice, a nalazi se u okrugu Lafayette. Također je poslužio kao nadahnuće za izmišljenog Jeffersona (okrug Lafayette, Yoknapatawpha), dobitnika Nobelove nagrade William Faulkner, lokaliteta mnogih njegovih romana. Oksonci i članovi Sveučilišta vole grad opisivati ​​geslom "Možda nećemo pobijediti u svakoj utakmici, ali nikada nećemo izgubiti zabavu." Lokalno stanovništvo, djelomično u šali, Trg naziva "Centrom svemira". Mnogi stanovnici Oxford vide kao mali grad New Orleans, nazivajući ga Malo lagano. Širom Juga nadaleko je poznat po južnom šarmu, osjećaju Starog Juga, atmosferi zabave i lijepim ženama, koje je čak i Hugh Hefner nazvao najboljima na svijetu. Oxford se također smatra književnim središtem, a mnogi ga pisci nazivaju domom. Uz dom pravnog fakulteta Ole Miss i savezne sudnice, često se kaže da su svi u Oxfordu "pravnici, pisci ili oboje". Kao da to želi dokazati, poznati autor John Grisham, stipsa Ole Miss Law, još uvijek ima kuću u Oxfordu i često je posjećuje.

Trg središte je centra grada i glavno mjesto najboljih gradskih restorana, trgovina, barova i krajolika (stare arhitekture Juga i prekrasnih južnih krajolika). Lančani restorani, Wal-Mart Supercenter i drugi nacionalni trgovci nalaze se na rubu grada. Međutim, većina mještana snažno je protiv lanca. Aktivno su prosvjedovali zbog dolaska Applebee's-a i Wal-Mart Supercentara, čak su i izglasali staru gradonačelnicu jer nije učinila više da to zaustavi. Stoga, da biste istinski uživali u Oxfordu, morate posjetiti Trg i jesti i kupovati u lokalnim ustanovama. Inače gubite vrijeme na posjete i propuštate ako dođete samo na nogometnu utakmicu. Uronite u grad da vidite zašto Skraćena verzija proglasio: "Da Oxford ne postoji, to bi trebalo izmisliti."

Kao National Geographic Traveler magazin napisao je, "Sofisticirani mali Oxford vas čeka."

Avionom

Najbliže zračne luke s zrakoplovnom uslugom su u Memphis, 70 milja sjevernije i Tupelo, 45 milja prema istoku. Memphis je glavno središte za Delta Air Lines i stoga je preferirani aerodrom. Tupelo svakodnevno leti za Memphis i Atlantu.

Sveučilište-Zračna luka Oxford, poznat i kao Clegg Field, nudi usluge privatnim avionima, uključujući mlazne avione. Zračna luka ima 5600 stopa piste s terminalom i zrakoplovnim uslugama.

Vlakom

Za putnički servis, najbliži Amtrak stajališta su na liniji City of New Orleans u Memphis i Greenwood, Mississippi. Vlak će vas odvesti do Chicaga ili New Orleansa.

Automobilom

Glavne autoceste na tom području su sljedeće:

  • Sjever jug - Državne autoceste 7, 9, 315 i 331
  • Istok zapad - Državne autoceste 6,30,314,328 i 334
  • Autocesta 6 - Povezuje se s međudržavnom 55

Iz Memphisa ili Jackson (Gospođice.) Idite I-55 do Batesvillea i izađite MS Hwy 6 Istok. Uzmi Old Taylor Rd. ili Coliseum Dr. izlazi za pristup Sveučilištu. Izlaz na South Lamar Blvd. doći do Trga i centra grada. Oxford je udaljen oko 40 km Batesville. Putovanje do Oxforda iz Memphisa traje oko sat i 15 minuta, od Jacksona oko 2½ sata i od oko 45 minuta Tupelo. Kraća je ruta od Memphisa i Jacksona Hwy 7, ali ova je cesta dvotračna. Međutim, iz istočnog predgrađa Memphisa brže se uzima Hwy 78 do Hwy 7. Iz centra grada, zračne luke i Southavena, I-55 do Hwy 6 je brži.

Autobusom

  • Hrt autobusna linija do Oxforda je obustavljena. Najbliže autobusno stajalište hrtova nalazi se u Tupelu.

Zaobiđi se

Javni prijevoz zove se O-U-T. Ima nekoliko linija koje prolaze kroz sve glavne točke u gradu. Najbolji način za kretanje je pješice, jer je Oxford prekrasan grad za šetnju, a parkiralište je rijetko u centru grada i u kampusu. Drugi najbolji način je automobilom. Jednom kada pronađete mjesto za parkiranje u kampusu, ostanite tamo i hodajte svugdje gdje želite ići. Isto se odnosi i na centar grada. Jednom kada shvatite kako se kretati trgom (potrajat će neko vrijeme) i okolnim jednosmjernim ulicama, možete pronaći mjesto za parkiranje krstareći stražnjim uličicama. Ako se nepropisno parkirate, dobit ćete skupu kartu.

Ne pijte i ne vozite se jer policajci budno paze na usputne putove, a da ne spominjemo da riskirate svoj život i živote drugih. To možete izbjeći pješačenjem kući, vožnjom automobilom (lako je pronaći vožnju od prijateljskog stranca na Trgu) ili pozivom taksija.

  • Oxfordsko groblje, Ovdje su pokopani uglednici kao što su William Faulkner i LQC Lamar, veleposlanik Konfederacije u Rusiji i jedini sudac Vrhovnog suda SAD-a u Mississippiju. Tradicija poziva posjetitelje Faulknerova groba da ostave pola litre viskija, iako bi više volio viski.
  • Gaj, u kampusu Sveučilišta u Mississippiju. Tijekom ranog proljeća ima izgled lijepo uređenog parka, ali tijekom nogometne sezone pretvara se u najcjenjeniji lokal za uređivanje repa u cijelom sveučilišnom nogometu. Sports Illustrated ocjenjuje trčanje u Groveu, zelenom prostoru od nekoliko hektara u srcu kampusa Ole Miss, kao jedno od vodećih američkih sveučilišnih događanja, stavljajući ga na 3. mjesto na listi od 100 stvari koje treba obaviti prije diplome.

  • Arhiva Ole Miss Blues, Sveučilište Mississippi, kampus, 1 662 915-7753. Najopsežnija svjetska zbirka blues snimaka i srodnog materijala. Ako ste ljubitelj bluesa, ovo morate posjetiti. B.B. King snimio je album uživo (Uživo u Ole Miss) u Gaju.

Licej
  • Ventress Hall, viktorijanska zgrada iz 19. stoljeća na rubu Grovea. Izvorno se koristio kao knjižnica, a danas je učilište Liberal Arts. Unutra je ogroman vitraž koji prikazuje scenu bitke iz rata (ako nije drugačije naznačeno, "rat" na dubokom Jugu znači onaj koji se odvijao između 1861. i 1865.). Prozor je naručio Delta Gamma Sorority iz tvrtke Tiffany Glass Company u čast University Greysa, tvrtke koja se u potpunosti sastojala od studenata Ole Miss koji su pretrpjeli stopostotne žrtve u bitci kod Gettysburga. U kupoli se nalazi zavojito stubište ispunjeno grafitima starim više od 100 godina. Legenda kaže da se William Faulkner opio, popeo se na vrh kupole i počeo vikati "Hotty Toddy" - neslužbeno veselje škole. Međutim, ovo je vjerojatno samo legenda, ali prokleto dobra. Član osoblja iznutra bio bi sretan što bi vas kratko upoznao.
  • 3 Centar za proučavanje južnjačke kulture (Zvjezdarnica Barnard). Još jedna zgrada antebelluma u kampusu koja je izgrađena za smještaj najvećeg svjetskog teleskopa. Među lokalnim stanovništvom je široko rasprostranjeno da je teleskop isporučen tijekom rata kada su ga zarobile Yankee trupe i poslale na Sveučilište Northwestern. Međutim, vjerojatnije je da Sveučilište više nije moglo priuštiti da plaća teleskop nakon što je započeo rat, a umjesto njega ga je kupio Northwestern. Zgrada nikada nije korištena kao zvjezdarnica, a sada je dom Centra za proučavanje južnjačke kulture i u njoj se nalaze male postavke.

  • Groblje Konfederacije. iza Tadi Smith Coliseuma u kampusu Ole Miss. To je odmorište više od 700 mrtvih iz Konfederacije, uglavnom iz bitke kod Shiloha. Sveučilišne zgrade koristile su se kao bolnice i sjedište snaga Unije i Konfederacije između 1862. i 1865. Svi ovdje pokopani stradali su na zemljištu Sveučilišta. Iako su poznata mnoga imena (ugravirana su na spomeniku u središtu groblja) ovdje su većina pokopani nepoznati vojnici. Nekada su i ovdje bili sahranjeni mrtvi Unije, ali davno preseljeni na nacionalno groblje. Jedno od manje poznatih web mjesta Oxforda i Ole Miss, obavezno je posjetiti ljubitelje građanskog rata.

Jesti

Za grad od samo 20 000 (35 000 kad škola zauzima), Oxford je blagoslovljen širokim izborom jela. Dom za Southern Foodways Alliance[mrtva veza], Oxford je evoluirao u "meku .... koja privlači profesionalne stručnjake za hranu kao i amatere koji jedu", prema piscu hrane i vina Peteu Wellsu. Gradska namirnica, 208, i Jaruga toplo se preporučuju za vrhunske fine obroke. Za ležerniju kartu ne možete pogriješiti Boure ili Ajax. Za istinsko iskustvo Mississippija morate jesti u Namirnica Taylor ili Gostionica Yocona River.

Piće

Cold beer is not sold in Oxford, except for bars and restaurants. Either purchase your cold beer at the county line on Hwy 6 or Hwy 7 as you are coming into town, or ice it down. An often told myth is that Oxford does not sell beer cold because the mayor once owned the local icehouse. Open containers are also not allowed in the city limits, but as long as you pour it in a cup, you are fine. If a cop sees a beer can or liquor bottle, he will pour out all of your supply. However, if you have it in a cup, you will not be bothered unless you are extremely unruly. This especially applies to the Ole Miss campus and The Grove. Just keep it in a cup and pour discreetly. Due to antiquated Southern laws, the Ole Miss campus is wet on liquor only (no beer allowed), except east of Gertrude Ford Boulevard (the old railroad bed), where both liquor and beer are allowed. In any case, alcohol is not allowed in plain view and must be kept in a cup.

Remember, bars in Oxford close early. Monday-Wednesday they close at midnight. Thursday and Friday they close at 1AM. They close at midnight on Saturdays except on game weekends, when they are open till 1AM. Still, most bar goers don't go home and go to bed but instead head to the infamous "late-nights," parties at someone's home or apartment. Despite police efforts to crack down on late-nights, they are still going strong, sometimes numbering into the thousands of partiers. Word spreads about the location of late-nights earlier in the night at the bars. Be sure to secure your beer or liquor for the late-night before you go out, because they will have stopped selling by the time the bars have closed (midnight most days, Sunday it's a "dry" city).

The Chevron at University and South Lamar, called "Chicken-on-a-Stick" because of the drunk food it serves by the same name, is a very popular stopping point between the bars and the late-nights and has achieved legendary status. Several other convenience stores carry the same food minus the tradition. If you are too drunk to drive and have no other way home, you can almost always find a ride at Chicken-on-a-Stick (the Chevron) just after the bars close.

The City Grocery Bar, or "The Grocery," is located above its namesake restaurant and tends to attract a mix between locals, writers, lawyers, and older college students. The Downtown Grill also has a great upscale bar popular with preppy students and the older crowd alike. "The Grill," as it is commonly referred to, frequently features live jazz and other types of music.

If you prefer a more casual place, you can't beat Parrish's. Located just down from The Grill, it features great local bands and many blues artists from the region. Never a cover charge and the friendliest bouncers ever - not that they can't or won't still turn a drunken frat boy into a human shoe horn.

The bar in the basement of the Rib Cage has cheap beer and is a good place to watch a game.

The eclectic crowd prefers The Jubilee Lounge, which is the most democratic establishment in Oxford. Be sure to check out their photobooth. Another alternative place is Two Stick, but it attracts a wide variety of people from the Greeks to the womens studies majors, perhaps because it also serves sushi and often has live music.

The best place to hear live music is either Proud Larry's, Two Stick, ili Parrish's, which all have local and regional artists frequently.

The Levee is also 18-and-up, is the young preppy students. 1008 Jackson Avenue, 1 662 236-3666, just off the Square next to Henry's Jubilee Lounge. Musicians be warned, the crowd is not there to listen to you.

There is one other bar that is popular with the 18-21 crowd--Illusions, which is frequently referred to by its former names Nighttown ili The Billiards Club. Pick up a free copy of the Daily Mississippian or the weekly Local Voice for drink specials and band listings.

  • The Library Sports Bar, known as the "Sports Bar", is an addition to the Library Bar & Grill and fills the void of a true sports bar on the Oxford Square. At the corner of 11th Street and Van Buren - just down from the original Library Bar & Grill. The Library attracts a younger crowd as it is 18-and-up.120 South 11th Street, 1 662 234-1411. It l features talented local bands and entertainment at night. During the day, you can stop by and say hi to Johnny "D" to have lunch and a drink.
  • Murff's is a great pool joint. Southern Rock, Country, and impossibly cold beer will remind exactly what part of the country this is. Located at 1210 Harrison Avenue, 1 662 234-7558. Just Off the Square, Murff's is a local bar and grill offering a full bar service and good bar food. It's the best place in town for a game of pool. Guests must be 21 to enter the bar.
  • Toddy's A 21 & up bar located underneath The Levee in the 10th Street alley (look for the red awning). Toddy's offers food, a variety of specialty drinks, infused vodka and infused bourbon, the newly introduced Mississippi-brewed Lazy Magnolia draught beers and two plasma screen TV's.

Spavati

While Oxford has no luxury hotels yet, two boutique hotels are under construction just off the Square. One, (The Ava, under construction just off the Square on Jackson Ave., next to the pedestrian/bike bridge) will feature a spa and fine dining. Until they are built, the closest you will get to luxury is to stay at a bed and breakfast. Oxford has a large number of hotel rooms for a town of its size. However, if you are coming for a game weekend, nearly all the rooms are presold as a package deal for the season. Occasional rooms do open up though, but chances are slim. The next closest town with motels is Bruce (24 miles) Batesville (25 miles) to the west, Holly Springs (30 miles) to the north, Pontotoc (20 miles) to the east, Grenada (40 miles) to the south, and Senatobia (40 miles) to the northeast. Many visitors choose to stay in downtown Memphis in order to experience Beale Street and only come in for the game, or they stay in Tunica at a casino. However, it can be vrlo difficult to get in, out, or around Oxford on Game Day. A viable option is to rent an RV in Memphis and stay on campus for free. You can park your RV and walk wherever you need to go the whole weekend. If you are staying in Oxford, the Downtown Inn and Suites i Inn at Ole Miss are the most highly recommended because of the quality of the rooms, the services, and the great locations.

Game Day

Homecoming 2012 - Ole Miss vs. Auburn

Oxford is very crowded on football game days. Football is a religion here, and fall Saturdays are the sabbath. Therefore, expect heavy traffic, hotels that fill months in advance, and no available reservations at restaurants. The Grove opens for tailgating at 6PM Friday night, but the crowds can overwhelm security as early as 4PM Friday night, and all the good spots in the Grove will be gone by 8PM. Most tailgating is concentrated in the Grove, but it takes place everywhere on campus. The Circle, next to the Grove, has more of a family atmosphere. Officially, liquor but not beer is allowed in the Grove, but all alcohol must be kept in a cup and out of plain view.

The Grove - Ole Miss vs. Texas - 9/15/2012
  • Alcohol Policy. The university policy on alcohol is very complicated and enforcement of it is even more so. Liquor is legal on all the campus and beer on the part of campus east of Gertrude Ford Boulevard. However, all alcohol must remain out of plain view at all times. Keep it in a cup or in your cooler. While beer is illegal in the Grove, the police will not confiscate it if you keep it in a cup. Police are allowed to search unattended coolers, so keep it at a tent that is attended at all times or put a lock on it. Bottom line: keep your alcohol out of plain view and under your control, keep your behavior in check, and you won't be bothered by the police. And don't even think about drinking and driving.
  • Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Where the three-time national champion Ole Miss Rebels play football. For online ticket sales and a seating chart, visit the Ole Miss Ticket Office. The stadium is officially alcohol-free, but many fans sneak in a flask, and drinking in the club levels and suites is completely ignored. Expect extensive body searches at the visitor and student gates. If you enjoy being molested by a security guard of the same sex, you're in heaven. At the other gates, security generally just looks inside purses and bags.
  • Game Day Info from the University. Including tailgating and stadium rules, traffic info, and parking info.
  • RV information. The university provides free gravel RV lots at the Old Taylor Road and the Coliseum Drive exits off of the Hwy 6 bypass. Overflow RV parking is available at the intramural fields, accessed by the Coliseum Drive exit (turn left at the four-way stop). Paved lots with hookups including cable TV are available, but they must be purchased for the whole season. The University officially does not allow RV parking before Friday afternoon, but in reality, they allow parking in the gravel lots days in advance. People are known to never move their RVs from one Saturday to the next. A private RV park with full amenities is available in town. Many choose to stay at the more spacious and scenic Sardis Lake, which offers a plethora of cheap RV parking with full hookups in a tree-shaded environment. It is located between Oxford and Batesville, 15 to 20 minutes from town.
  • RV information. Cart Barn Inn @ Yoda Creek has Rv parking. [email protected] ☏ 1 662-983-7829, 20 minutes south of Oxford down hwy 7 to hwy 9w to Bruce.

If your weekend visit to Oxford necessitates a visit with the Deity, there are many local worship options. Some of these houses of worship have enough historic value to warrant a purely secular visit any day of the week. True to its Deep South locale, Oxford is replete with Baptist and Methodist churches, but other faiths are by no means left out in this cosmopolitan university town. Here is a very small sampling of Oxford's larger and historic religious buildings and bodies:

Baptist

  • Antioch Primitive Baptist Church, South 15th Street. Sunday services are at 10:30AM. This congretation was organized in 1836. The congregation has been meeting in the current building since 1949. 
  • First Baptist Church (SBC), 800 Van Buren Avenue, ☏ 1 662 234-3515. Sunday services are at 8:30AM, 9:45AM and 11AM. The congregation was founded in 1842 and the original church structure was burned by Union troops in 1864. Current site was obtained in 1881 and the current building was completed in 1952. 
  • Second Baptist Church (MBC), 611 Jackson Avenue, ☏ 1 662 234-7868. It was organized by former slaves in 1869. The roots of this faith community stretch back to Baptist and Methodist ex-slaves who built a brush arbor on the edge of the old Pegues Plantation near the current church structure immediately after emancipation. 

Catholic

  • St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church(Roman Catholic), 403 University Avenue, ☏ 1 662 234-6073. Catholic presence in Oxford dates back to antebellum times when small numbers of Catholic residents and students at the University relied on visiting priests for spiritual sustenance. St. John's was founded in the 1930s as a mission of Water Valley's St. Patrick's parish. The original church building (a simple neo-classical structure constructed in 1943) and its adjoining rectory/parish hall, played host to federal troops sent to quell the riots surrounding the integration of the University in 1962. These buildings were later declared structurally unsound and were razed in 2003 for the construction of a new church building on the same property. Masses are celebrated on Sundays at 8:30AM, 11AM and 5PM.

Episcopal

  • St. Peter's Episcopal Church(ECUS), 113 South 9th Street, ☏ 1 662 234-1269-. Organized in 1851, this was the original seat of the first Episcopal bishop of Mississippi, making this building the pro-cathedral (i.e. preliminary cathedral) for the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi. First resident pastor was Frederick A.P. Barnard, originally a faculty member at Ole Miss, eventually the university's chancellor and, later, president of Columbia University. The building was completed in 1860 and was the only religious structure within the town limits of Oxford to survive the burning of the town by Union troops in 1864. William Faulkner was a parishioner. Sunday services are at 7:45AM, 9AM, 11AM and 5:30PM. There is a Spanish language service at 7PM.

Methodist

  • Old Burns Church/Belfry Building, Original Building - West Jackson Avenue. Oxford's first African-American church, organized by former slaves in 1869 as Sewell Chapel, it was renamed Burns Methodist-Episcopal Church in 1900. An original wood frame structure was replaced in 1910 by the current brick building. The current congregation moved to a modern structure in 1973 on the corner of Molly Barr Road and Washington Avenue. After the congregation moved out, the 1910 building served for a time as an office for author John Grisham. Grisham donated the building for use as a Civil Rights museum. The congregation's current church building is located at 600 Molly Barr Road. Sunday worship service is at 11AM.
  • Oxford-University Methodist Church (UMC), University Avenue, ☏ 1 662 234-5278. Founded in 1836 as Oxford Methodist-Episcopal Church, the congregation was served by a circuit-riding minister who made regular stops in Oxford for services. The church's first building was on Van Buren Avenue and the congretation went through two more structures on Jackson Avenue before purchasing the current site in 1936. Services began at the current site in 1937 and the current brick sanctuary was completed in 1950. Famous parishioners have included Charles B. Galloway and L.Q.C. Lamar.

Presbyterian

  • College Hill Presbyterian Church (PCA), College Hill Road, ☏ 1 662 234-5020. The church was founded in 1835. The building, built using slave labor and bricks fired on the grounds, was completed in 1846. It is the oldest church building in the Oxford area. During the Civil War, the surrounding community of College Hill was invaded by Union General Sherman and his troops in 1862, who occupied the grounds of the church and used the church building for sleeping quarters. William Faulkner was married here in 1929. The original structure and furnishings remain remarkably unchanged. The pulpit, pews and pew gates are original to the structure. The only major structural changes to the original structure were: 1) the addition of a veneer of modern brick which covers the structure's original exterior bricks (though the original brickwork is still viewable at a view points on the east side of the church exterior where some of the modern bricks were purposefully left un-mortared and can be temporarily removed to "peek" at the original bricks beneath), 2) the modern addition of office space in the rear of the structure, and 3) the removal of the building's slave galley (a balcony reserved for slaves to sit in during church services). The exterior doors which once led to the galley, however, still remain, floating ominously above the main entrance to the church, sans stairs.
  • First Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), 924 Van Buren Avenue, {{phone| 1 662 234-1757}. The first Presbyterian congregation in the town of Oxford was organized in 1837 by early settlers of Scottish descent. The church's original 1847 wood frame building fell casualty to the flames of 1864 (when the courthouse, its square and other buildings and homes in town were burned by federal troops). The current building was built in 1881. Sunday worship services are at 8:30AM and 11AM.

Unitarian-Universalist

  • Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Oxford, 31 County Road 198, ☏ 1 662 513-0970. An intergenerational community that fosters spiritual growth through free thought and respect for personal beliefs. Visitors of all faiths and beliefs are welcome. Services are Sundays at 11AM, and children of all ages are welcome with childcare provided during the service (from 10:50AM -12:15PM.)

Mormon

  • Oxford Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3501 S Lamar Blvd, Worship service at 10AM. Visitors are welcome.

  • An excellent side trip, especially late at night after the bars close, is to Graceland Too. It is 30 miles north in Holly Springs. Students from the University have been known to visit this culturally-unique icon at all hours of the day (and night). Even if you are not an Elvis fan, the real entertainment is the proprietor Paul McLeod, who puts on quite a show. Just get to Holly Springs and any local can direct you to the fun. It is open 24 hours and the cost is only $5. After your third visit, you become a lifetime member and never have to pay again. You also get your picture taken while wearing Elvis' actual leather jacket.
  • Memphis-- The closest major city, known for Graceland, Beale Street, great music, and a revitalized downtown
  • Tunica-- The South's gambling mecca featuring a dozen large casino resorts
  • Tupelo--The birthplace of Elvis Presley
  • Clarksdale--The location of the famous Crossroads intersection of Highway 61 and 49 is known for its Delta blues and famous blues musicians
