I was born and raised in beautiful Oxford. This was a very well done video with a few hiccups. Mainly, the picture of the courthouse you showed is not the Lafayette County courthouse. I don't know what courthouse that is. And people in Oxford and Lafayette county pronounce the county's name differently than people in other parts of the country and world. We say, "Luh-FAYE-it" County. It's also pretty clear that the British telephone box (not "photo booth") is beside, and not inside, City Hall. We just call the town square, "The Square".
Kappa Gamma sorority has new 13-million-dollar house. I intend to look at on my next visit. I am sure if you request, they will let you view lobby. Was discussed in WSJ.
At about 2:03 on your video that is not the Lafayette County Court House looks like somewhere in Florida as the state flag on the pole appears to be the state flag of Florida or maybe Alabama. I know this because I have lived in Oxford for 74 years and that ain't the court house. Otherwise your video is correct about Oxford and Ole Miss.
This video randomly popped up as recommended by YT so I had to check it out. I would have thought some research would have gone into this so I didn't expect the county name to be mispronounced. it's "la FAY ette", not "la FYE ette" as they say in Louisiana. I was also surprised to see some random courthouse that doesn't even resemble the Lafayette County Courthouse but also has palm trees and a Florida state flag flying out front. Seriously? Oxford is over 300 miles north of the Gulf Coast and there no palm trees. Everything else is in order and at least you did close with a drone show of the actual courthouse.. The food here is ridiculous. Ajax Diner is fantastic but one must also be sure to hit up Big Bad Breakfast while you're here. And this being the South, even some of the gas stations have amazing food such as the Blue Sky convenience store on Hwy 6 on the west side of town. They have great pulled pork BBQ sandwiches amongst other things. Four Corners Chevron at Lamar Blvd and University Ave has the best chicken on a stick you'll find anywhere. It's famous and most of the national TV guys that come to cover the football games always hit that place up as well as City Grocery and Taylor Grocery for their catfish. The Grove on a Saturday is a bucket list item for many football fans and consistently ranks as one of the premier tailgating spots in the country. Google it and then make plans to see for yourself. I'd book that hotel several months (6-9 minimum) because you won't find a room within 100 miles if you wait. Thanks for sharing this video about my town and the university I grew up visiting for football games since I was a kid in the 70s and 80s and now work for and call home.

We were just there three weeks ago. The campus of Ole Miss is beautiful, it oozes money! The town square was so fun to explore!
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story! Which city are you going to visit next?
@@OnViewCation I am not sure which area yet. But I sure appreciated your video.

Thank you so much for sharing your life story and for the constructive criticism. What other types of video would you like to see?
It’s a little slice of heaven!
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
