Smithsonian Magazine rated Oxford as Number 20 of the Best Small Towns in America. Among other reasons, the magazine cites Oxford's literary legacy inspiring the rise of independent bookstores (of which I was not aware but..yay bookstores!).
Where in LA, every waitress in Bennigan's is an aspiring actress, in Oxford, you can't walk past any coffee shop or park bench without being in the presence of hopeful Grishams and Weltys.
The magazine did not mention that Oxford's Square is also the backdrop to the ultra-sophisticated Southernfriedcatholicism.com blog. But it is.
