Sunflower
7.3
High score (8-10)
Indianola is a Delta town where B.B. King was born and raised, and Club Ebony — the historic Black nightclub that King himself purchased to preserve — and the B.B. King Museum are genuine cultural draws for blues tourists. Outside that specific cultural tourism the county is deeply poor and the social scene beyond those venues is essentially nonexistent. The racial and economic divisions in Sunflower County are sharper than almost anywhere in Mississippi. The blues tourism is real but thin and an outsider's social window here is narrow.
