This is not exactly an edge of the cotton fieldjuke joint, but it does nicely for being on the banks of the Mississippi river. I remember when this place was also a bait house and blues joint . Catfish, Gasper goo, sold by the front door. Eat the fish outside. So if you consider yourself a blues lover. There's lots of other juke joints you can visit.

There are high school pictures, memorabilia, trinkets, record albums, statues, antique arcade games, historical and interesting artifacts from decades, pretty much you name it!

If you go upstairs you can take a look at an old radio station and it's set up (you know, kind of WKRP style) Definitely gives you a feel for the pride this curator has for his town and all the nostalgia he's collected. Very interesting place. Great job, nice collection.
