There is a LOT of old money in Natchez. A LOT. I grew up there. The median income is deceiving because all the rich people have already made all their money and the gap in wealth between the rich and the poor is huge.
Carlos Slim is a Mexican. He alternates with Gates for the Richest man title. There is money, new and old, everywhere.
And no, medians are not deceiving, averages are. The median is the income of the very center point of the population, regardless of outliers.

I really don't drink frozen drinks but I think the tamales are off the chain, especially for the price

Leisurely drive down the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Windsor Ruins are beautiful too

I grew up in Concordia Parish just across the river. When I was a teenager I made many trips to Nellies. Whoever commented on the mall, I was manager at the Radio Shack there for a time in the early eighties. Is the Cock of The Walk still open?

we were looking into this, did you do the tour with wine tasting?
Yes, it was several years ago though. I think their wines are all made from muscadine grapes, so they may be sweeter than what you're used to. (I'm not a wine person, but it was fun for a novice.)

Bowie's is very interesting, especially on karaoke night.

Under the Hill is a pretty good dive bar. There's some nice restaurant/bar in the middle of downtown -- they have all these fish hanging on the walls made out of Abita caps. Can't remember the name of it, but I had a good time drinking there with my wife a few years ago on the day after Christmas.

Some nice beds and breakfasts and the Natchez trace with old plantations and such if you're into that.
In the 1830s and 1840s, that stretch of land was the wealthiest in the country.

Probably biscuits and blues? My friend Brandon makes all that bottle cap art.
Yeah, fat mamas used to be good, but everything is brought in premodern now...if you want good tamales go to the donut shop. They still hand make them, and they are the best you'll ever have. Being as it's the donut shop, try the donuts too...also the best you'll ever have.

Not per capita. More millionaires - period.

The Mississippi River was booming back then.

I lived in Natchez from 1966 to 1970. Nellie's was booming. I repaired the pay phone in nellie's several times.

Is that what they were calling it back then?

Nellies was before my time, but I've heard numerous stories.
