Half a mile from here, there’s a Circle: home to Mississippi’s flagship institution of higher learning. For decades, its hallowed halls have educated the south’s finest minds and sent them out to enrich the world.  The Circle is a campus mustering point where social circles overlap and oftentimes expand in the fellowship of game days. 

A half mile in the other direction, there’s the Square: an idyllic gathering place for generations.

A site for the hard-working to catch up on gossip, or gather provisions, or have their day in court. People came looking for a deal and left with more than expected. The Square remains grounded, yet punches above its weight in literature, cuisine and solid spirits.
