Not a Lot to Recommend Clarksdale, MS 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Sometimes when you want to say a lot of good things about a place, you just can't.

We don't even have very many things like restaurants or stores to enjoy.

We do have a few attractions nearby. There's the home of outlaw Jesse James which has been turned into a museum, there's my personal favorite, the Glore Psychiatric Museum, then there's the Pony Express Museum and the Remington Nature Center. I just can't say that Clarksdale is one of the best areas in the state. The people are very nice for the most part, and we do have these things to do for fun, but it leaves a lot to be desired, in my humble opinion. Read Less
