We go every month or so. Went last weekend and ate at Pig Out as usual and then Planet Thai which is really great.

84 from Brookhaven to Natchez is a great ride for motorcycles. No traffic and nice rolling hills and scenery.

If you've never been inside the old Carholic church there that's open for the public, it's really a great place to visit. Beautiful place.

Honestly I thought a huge plus for Natchez was how walkable it was. We parked at the B&B on the bluff and didn't drive again until Longwood on the way out of town. Even walked under the hill

Very enjoyable to have enough shite to do within walking distance

I always wondered if that was any good! Never knew anyone to recommend it one way or another for me. Pig Out Inn is always solid.

Glad someone agrees. I'm not sure what is going on with all the downvotes.

Seemed like a very small town where everyone knew everyone and their families have known your family for the past 200 years

It would be kind of cool if they could add some outdoors component. Hiking, fishing, etc nearby. Might draw a crowd beyond the 65 year olds

Not really seeing any issues or contradictions as to why all of that hurts Natchez. Hell most of it goes hand In hand. And like others have said. The mill closing was the beginning of the end. There's supposed to be some new plant moving in at the old mill location. Maybe that will give the area a much needed kick back in the right direction

There was one with nice tits but both had asses that wouldn't quit. The wife even said something about them.

One of the girls there looks like a crackhead but the other girl has nice looking tits and always wears really low cut shirts.

Didn't see a crackhead one. One was a redhead and one was a blonde and the dude who owns the place and cuts the meat had the best seat in the house.

I've been going there for probably close to 15 years and it's always consistent good food.

Other than the park, Vicksburg is turning into Jackson..Natchez is turning into Fayette.

Perhaps. Hattiesburg is looking rough too.
