Taylor is a small village of 288 people in the rolling hills of North Mississippi, about seven miles south of Oxford. Taylor is known as a place where artists and writers go to do their work while living cheaply. As such, there are a lot more art galleries than you would expect in a community this small. As usual, click on an image to see a larger version of the image.

This is Taylor Grocery, the only place to eat in Taylor. Don't let its looks fool you -- its rough, rustic appearance is a preservation of history to appease the many tourists who visit from all over the world. Taylor Grocery perhaps serves the best catfish in the state. (Which would mean the best catfish anywhere.) I hear that Taylor Grocery is a favorite eating spot of local writer John Grisham. Here's an article about Taylor Grocery from the September 9, 1999 issue of the Memphis Flyer.

Taylor Arts is one of the main art galleries in Taylor. It is located just a few houses south of Taylor Grocery, and generally keeps the same hours, so people who come to eat catfish can also browse the gallery.
