Come All Ye Rounders
It's amazing the oddities you come across when driving a hundred miles across a state you've never been to before. Today we stopped at the home of Casey Jones, the train driver made famous by an old folk song and 1960s TV show. Not only did I not realise he was real, but that he lived in the middle of the world's tackiest tourist village in the heart of Tennessee.

If you want real culture shock, drive 100 miles south from Memphis into Mississippi, where Elvis Aron Presley was born. Big towns like Oxford (perfect for British writers) and small like Arkabutla, Senatobia, & Looxahoma. Don't forget to drink the sweet tea.
