How to get out Oxford (Mississippi)
An excellent side trip, especially late at night after the bars close, is to Graceland Too . It is located 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.
