WHILE DRIVING EAST ON HIGHWAY 6, a well-known mile marker is the rows of bathtubs and sinks that lie in the midst of a grassy yard. The owner of the porcelain-dotted lot is Southern Tub, a shop that specializes in tub repair and refinishing. THIS INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED bookstore has been an Oxford Square landmark since 1979. Owned by Oxford IVIayor Richard Howorth and his wife Lisa, Square Books features a vast collection of novels about Mississippi and the South. Spend an afternoon at the cozy bookstore and one will find many signed editions.

CONSIDERED THE CORE OF OXFORD, the Square provides a place tor students and locals to relax, unwind and enjoy a day of shopping, eating and strolling along the many shops that outline the center of town. The Square is a landmark for art and entertainment, good food and Southern culture. A town rich in history, Oxford makes sure to shine its past through symbolic preservation, like the statue of William Faulkner sitting on a bench that overlooks the Courthouse in the Square. . ■•• t.;i ' , ■ • '
