"An All American City" by kristin67
Tupelo, Mississippi is also known as the “all american city,” though we are not really sure why? But it is a great little city to live or visit. I grew up in Tupelo and have now moved away, but my heart is still there! It is a wonderful place for a family. The downtown area is a lot of fun and is starting to look really neat. If you are visiting here are a few places you don’t want to miss:
1. Finney’s, a lunchtime diner
2. Yummy Yogurt, a great spot for dessert
3. Malones, the best catfish house
4. The flea market, the 2nd weekend of each month
5. Ballard Park, for a nice walk and to feed the ducks
6. Main Attraction, cute store downtown
7. Elvis Presley Birthplace, ok not so much this one but I am sure this is one of the reasons you are visiting
8. Barnes Crossing Mall, because pretty much everyone in Tupelo and the surrounding areas is always there.
9. Vanelli’s, for a nice romantic italian dinner
10. West Jackson Street Baptist Church, this is a great church who loves to have tupelo visitors! (church starts at 1030)
Tupelos are valued honey plants in southeastern and Gulf Coast states, producing a very light, mild-tasting honey. In northern Florida, beekeepers keep beehives along the river swamps on platforms or floats during tupelo bloom to produce certified tupelo
