Every town has to have a tourist trap, I guess.  Clarksdale now has theirs--a marker at the mythical "Crossroads" of fame in Robert Johnson's song.

(This picture along with one from my Casey Jones Train Wreck Site page will soon be published in a book on scenes from American folklore by Chris Epting.) 

And yes, by the power invested in me as a tourist and blues fan, I got my picture taken at the Crossroads Monument in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the home of the Delta Blues Museum and the intersection of Highways 49 and 61--the "Crossroads" of blues fame.
