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.

Their people are what make the difference. I recently encountered a problem with another post office in Brooklyn, NY while shipping some items. Even though it was the fault of the NY post office, the Red Bay Post Office took up the slack and made it right. I could not ask for better service than what I have experienced here. It's difficult for me to give a 5 star rating for something called U S Government, but in this case I'll make an exception!

It has the most conscientious and friendly staff of any I have ever used (and that includes my hometown's in rural Alabama, where everyone knew everyone). This friendly attitude is not just from the counter people, as the letter carriers exhibit the same courteousness and conscientious work ethic. With regards to Sheffield's history: In 1815, General Andrew Jackson and his troops following the Military Road crossed the Tennessee River at what is now know as Sheffield. The exact crossing site is still called Jackson Hollow today. Two years later, in 1817 General Jackson and his troops returned to this area and camped on the bluff above the river. Around the campfire Jackson and his fellow officers decided that no other site was so promising for a township as the one where they were camping. A few months later Jackson officially recommended the site where the Military Road crossed for the establishment of a town. The United States Secretary of War laid off a town precisely at that point and called it York Bluff. At the United States Land Sales in 1818, Jackson himself purchased quite a bit of land. By 1885, the area was incorporated as Sheffield, Alabama. Sheffield features three historic districts with ante-bellum and Victorian-era buildings. Our rich music heritage goes back to the 1950's when new fad Rock n' Roll music began to sweep the nation and the roots of Jazz were being established as an American tradition. Many top songwriters and performers cut vinyl at Jackson Highway Studio and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The Jackson Highway Studio was even pictured on the cover of Cher's 3614 Jackson Highway album.
