Hoochies is a one-stop-shop for affordable accessories, jewelry and clothing, making it the perfect place to add to your Christmas (shopping) list.
Corinth is home to a year-round market where local farmers and craftspeople sell their wares. Called the Green Market, you can typically find food, art and gifts at a convenient location downtown.
