This is a very niche post but very relevant if you live in Water Valley or the Oxford area. Water Valley Main Street Parlor 1858 Pizza & Social House The Magnolia Coffee Co. Courthouse Cafe Voyager's Rest. Also, maybe B.T.C. Old-Fashioned Grocery or Turnage Drug Store will be open too. Not sure, but I also forgot to mention Chopsticks as another spot on Main. And for those of you counting at home, I say Halloween Street A LOT! 🫠
