Totally worth the drive than having to wait a couple hours or half a day at the local HSV office. If you don't know about the REAL ID Act... Effective January 22, 2018, air travelers with a driver's license or identification card issued by a state that does not meet the requirements of the REAL ID Act (unless that state has been granted an extension to comply with the Act) must present an alternative form of identification acceptable to TSA in order to board a commercial domestic flight. Over the next two years, those states that are not REAL ID compliant are strongly encouraged to meet the requirements of the law for the benefit of their residents. Upon successfully getting through the metal detectors on the 1st floor, the license office is forward and to your left, then the first door on RT. Be prepared to read a lot of signs, but don't fret. You're in the right place. ;D There will be a screen to check-in at to obtain a # specific to your visit. STAR*IDs (whether drivers license or non-driving ID) are on the 1st floor in that office where one gets their #. DL renewals are on 2nd floor. Appointments are recommended, but who wants to wait 2-3 weeks out, right?! Came in here recently to get a STAR*ID drivers license since I lost mine, and was quite pleased w my experience. From the officers at the front scanning machine / metal detectors to the worker (Michelle B.) who assisted me, all were genuinely kind and respectful! If you present yourself w respect & kindness to others, it'll be mirrored back to you here. Though don't take kindness as naive or weakness. They're tough cookies here yet respectful. Gotta love when you come across kind government workers. They're far and few, especially in SoCal. Lol. Anywho, if you had to choose between HSV and Decatur, I totally recommend getting your necessary documents done here. I was in @ 9:02a, seen @ 10:20a, and out the door w a new STAR*ID DL at 10:35a! Thanks Michelle B. for being quick, efficient, hospitable, and kind!! While the waiting room was tight, bring your patience for those around you, maybe even a book or a juiced up mobile phone (ringer off), and lots of grace and mercy for the irritable and disrespectful kid w their tiresome parent. Last but not least, be sure to leave your firearms, knives, and such weapons in the car, or risk having the metal detector go off. Lesson learned. Yikes! Had to go back out and secure mine in the car. The officers were super kind about it, I think surprised too. Lol.

    Over the years I've been to the courthouse plenty of times. Driver's permit and driver's license(s)…read morebecause I would lose them, registering to vote and the most pleasant experience here - getting married! Yup, the hubs and I left work a little early on a Wednesday, drove to the courthouse, and got hitched by a Justice of the Peace. I think it was $15.00. We had the option of adding a photograph for maybe $5.00 or $10.00 and I opted out. The Judge who presided over our "ceremony" did a fine job and was very pleasant! It was short, sweet, and legit! Since then, they've stopped marrying folks at the courthouse, which I think is a shame! My only dings on this courthouse are a. it is architecturally super unattractive b. parking can be a slight challenge, at least by Huntsville standards, and c. wait times for driver's licenses and other normal transactions can be excessive d. the restrooms are sorely out of date and didn't have room for a bride-to-be to spruce up for her wedding. Although I live in Limestone County now (the friendliest courthouse and municipal staff on the planet), I'm not current on Madison County courthouse's offerings; however, I do know the city has expanded their municipal footprint with the county structure off Church Street, the beautiful new Federal structure near Lowe (downtown Huntsville) and the SE Huntsville facility. Well done, Huntsville/Madison County!

    One legendary business downtown that is deserving of a visit is Borroums Drug Store. It was founded…read morein 1865 by former CSA army surgeon A.J. Borroum. It is the oldest drug store in continuous operation in Mississippi. It is considered a "free museum" also because they have on display, Native American arrowheads, Civil War relics, and an authentic, working soda fountain. This business has been owned and operated by the Borroum family since its founding. I worked at Borroum's for a short time. I remember listening to Mrs. Camille recall an incident from her childhood of her and her father being held up at shotgun point. Mrs. Camille was the first certified female druggist in the state of Mississippi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt0ugLzb2ws&sns=em Some locals can be seen talking about Corinth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmD_7VjXg0&sns=em Biggers Hardware opened in 1918 and has been a mainstay in the community ever since. The store's ownership is in the fourth generation of the Biggers family. December 7,1874, three to four members of the Jesse James-Cole Younger gang rode into Corinth with a plan to rob the Tishomingo Savings Institution. Refusing to cooperate, the bank owner, Alonzo Taylor, allegedly told them, "I'd rather be in hell than in Corinth without money". The outlaws escaped with $15,000. Back in the late 1980s I lived in a small rental house and the landlord claimed that the gang rode through a part of the land, even pointing to the general area in which they rode. Corinth native, Roscoe Turner is the only Mississippian in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. Turner is the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy Race. He also established the cross-country airplane speed record in 1925. One of Turner's planes is featured in the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute. There is a small airport named after Turner http://www.yelp.com/biz/roscoe-turner-airport-corinth In 1955, Elvis, Scotty and Bill were to have two performances in the Alcorn County Courthouse/Assembly hall. The shows were sponsored by the Corinth Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) to help raise funds for a playground. It is said there were insufficient ticket sales to have one showing. While in town, Elvis was reputed to have visited Borroum's drug store and by the recollections of Camille Borroum Mitchell, local legend has it he was thought to have temporarily left his guitar there for some unexplained reason. Every year there are various celebrations and events held downtown, such as Hog Wild, Slugburger Festival and the Block Party. Roads are blocked off, talent shows are held, foods are cooked, carnival rides are set up and fun is had by all for a weekend at a time.

Last Summer there was a block party created by several local shops and businesses. There is an annual BBQ cook off known as Hog Wild and the aroma wafts throughout the Downtown area all hours of the day and night. Every Winter there is a Wild Game tasting fundraiser event held in the Crossroads Arena http://www.yelp.com/biz/annual-alcorn-county-wildlife-tasting-supper-corinth The city itself seems like it is larger than a community of 15,000 people, with four large grocery stores, a Wal-Mart Supercenter, three large auto dealerships and numerous used lots, two Mi Toro Mexican restaurants, a Malco theater, clusters of fast food chains, convenience stores seemingly at every intersection, Caterpillar, Kimberly Clarke, two new Japanese/Asian fusion hibachi restaurants and perhaps the most state of the art hospital facility within 100 miles http://www.yelp.com/biz/magnolia-regional-health-center-corinth-2 I do love the city but I feel it falls short of five stars. The city is charging a mandatory tourism tax on all restaurant tabs. Corinth doesn't have any tourist attractions aside from Civil War and slugburgers (specialty burger made with soy filler and costs around $1.00). There are no theme parks, Starbuck's, water slides, wax museums or antique car collections. The grocery stores, although well stocked, lack in carrying high-quality food items. It is impossible to make homemade cheeses because all the heavy cream is ultra-pasteurized. I've lived here by choice and have witnessed it go through many changes and some were so subtle it's hard to recall what certain areas of the city looked like 20 years ago. With the current expansions and improvements (especially to the city park) it is hard to imagine how it could look in another 20 years.
