Natchez gets what it deserves. They’ve let old money chase away every bit of industry (IP, Armstrong, Fidelity, etc...) and stymie any opportunity Natchez had for new industry and growth (Toyota plant, WalMart distr center, etc...). They thought they were gonna make enough money off tourism that they could essentially kill the middle class and rule over their domain in their antebellum castles. Anybody with a brain could’ve seen this collapse coming.

All of this. This downturn has been going on for 30+ years. Natchez has basically been a retirement community for the last 20 since the jobs left. Unfortunately for Natchez there aren't nearly as many retirees left anymore

This is perhaps the worst take on reality I have read this week.
Bet you cant name one actual thing old money did to make anyone leave can you?
Wal -Mart distribution center? Holy frick you are poor and stupid.
Natchez suffers from being isolated, no middle class jobs, and lower class white flight across the bridge to Vidalia shrinking the tax base.
All the old biddies in their houses and tourism are the only thing keeping it afloat.
