Stuck in Philadelphia, Mississippi? You're Doomed...or Having an Adventure?
Let's be honest, Philadelphia, Mississippi might not be the first place that pops into your head when you dream of vacation destinations. But hey, you never know what hidden gems you might find off the beaten path! So, you're stuck in Philadelphia (or maybe you just have a weirdly specific travel destination in mind). Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's how to turn that potential frown upside down (or at least into a bemused smile).
Casinos: Lights, Cameras, Maybe Not Quite So Much Action
Philadelphia isn't exactly Vegas, but it does boast a few casinos. If you're feeling lucky (or just need a break from the heat), head to the Golden Moon Casino or the Silver Star Casino. Just remember, even a small win feels pretty good in a town where the biggest jackpot might be finding a decent cup of coffee (we're working on it, Philadelphia!).
For the Love of Stuff: Antiques, Oddities, and More Antiques
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Is your grandma a picker? Then you're in luck! Philadelphia boasts a surprising number of antique shops. Cherry Picked is a great place to find that perfect old-timey thing you never knew you needed (until now). And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, there's always Williams Brothers, a department store that seems to sell literally everything.
The Great Outdoors (with a Side of Disc Golf)
Philadelphia might not have mountains to climb, but it does have Northside Park. This park is a great spot for a picnic, some frisbee throwing, or even a round of disc golf (because, why not?). There's even a retired military tank and airplane you can explore – just don't expect a guided tour (unless you befriend a local squirrel).
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Beyond Philadelphia: Because There's a Whole World Out There (Maybe)
If you've exhausted all that Philadelphia has to offer (which, admittedly, might not take too long), fret not! A short drive away is the Dancing Rabbit Golf Club, home to two award-winning courses. There's also the Chahta Immi Cultural Center, a great place to learn about the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Or, you could take a dip in Lake Pushmataha (just pack your own snacks – options might be limited).
