Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town. In the wooded hills of southwestern Panola County, Mississippi, where the rolling bluffs descend toward the lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, there once stood a small town known for its mineral springs, country hotel, and reputation as a place of healing. The community was called Tocowa, although historical records also refer to the surrounding area as Tocowa Springs or Tocawa Springs Village. During the nineteenth century, its natural spring attracted visitors who believed that the water possessed medicinal properties, while the surrounding settlement developed into a small center of rural commerce, education, and community life.

Mississippi Diners Keep Coming Back For This Riverfront Fish House And Its Huge Portions

Sneed said in the post he came to Memphis after spending about a year away from television news. He started with Fox13 in March. "I wasn't chasing a paycheck. I was chasing a second chance," he wrote. "And Memphis/Mid-South you made that step out on faith worth it." Sneed thanked viewers and Fox13 and wished his former colleagues at the station the best. He said he did not know what his next steps were, but that he was open to opportunities in television news, communications and public relations.

Birthdays get sung there, sometimes twice in one night, with servers joining the chorus. Rehearsal dinners for more than 40 guests arrive at the table all at once.

Pull Over For The Tender Ribs At This Memphis, Tennessee BBQ Favorite

A whole Cornish hen, smoked and sauced, sits on the menu right next to the ribs. That alone tells you this barbecue joint plays by its own rules. Then there’s the barbecue spaghetti.
