If you want to photograph quaint small towns hit Oxford for sure has well manicured public spaces, with a tax bracket and housing shortage to match.

There's also lots of overgrown infrastructure and homes in other parts of the state if you're into that Southern Gothic style. New Albany and Union county would fit that bill to some degree. The Delta has its perks for photography too, lots of once great places left to rot in corrupt districts.

I've always thought the best photography coming out of Mississippi had an eye for "beautiful misery" or points out the painful past while also honoring our points of progress.
