Mississippi Hippie opened in the summer of 2018 in the historic Mineral Springs Hotel, offering the local area an authentic counterculture home for hippie and boho clothing, jewelry, and Grateful Dead items. The following year, Fred Pollard opened Mom Said No in Mineral Springs, featuring classic toys, horror merch, vintage comics and gift ideas.

In the fall of 2020, Pollard purchased Mississippi Hippie, and since that time has owned and operated both businesses. In March of 2024, both shops relocated just across the street to 300 East Broadway, merging the two shops into one large space while retaining each one’s identity and vibe.

The mission of Mississippi Valley Christian School is to assist parents in fulfilling their God-given responsibility of training their children to be conformed to the image of Christ spiritually, academically, socially, and physically in order to fulfill the Great Commission.

It has an ongoing enrollment of around 100 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of just nine to one. The school is available to Christian families who desire to pursue a Christian education for their children.
