Sad news, we were there in 2019, we visited Nashville and Memphis from the UK. We hired a car from Nashville airport and we drove to Tupelo. I remember turning right at the traffic lights, noticed a parking space on the right and pulled straight into the spot. It wasn’t until we got out of the car that I noticed we’d parked right outside Tupelo Hardware Store.

I’ll never forget that day spent in Tupelo, great memories.
