John Cofield’s Oxford and Ole Miss: That Special Hometown Feeling

Hometown feeling comes from knowing the right place for classic Oxford photos.
A prize scene of the Eastern side of the Square, showing the old Federal Court and the P.O. next to Neilson’s store, and the left side of the Courthouse and the monument facing South.

I believe that every citizen of Oxford, who appreciates that special hometown feeling that only we know, should climb the steps at 160 Courthouse Square and have their photograph taken on Square Books balcony. It’s the best view in the house.
