re: Ballers: how much would a house on the bluff in Natcez run?

Stayed at Greg Iles home Edelweiss for a few days and it was spectacular. If you had a way to make a living it would be a great place to raise a family.

We looked at property on the bluff as well as in the city. This was 25 years ago and prices were not high.
The thing about the bluff...yes, it has been stabilized and with the tubes going in to dewater it, it's still a loess bluff and it wants to be vertical. And material removed down below means the part above will drop off.
And then it was really disconcerting to realize that the street in front of the houses had fallen totally in several places. Like broken asphalt and street markings that end in the breaks.
How much do the wells down by the river cause subsidence under the bluff? If at all. Do you want to be the one to find out?

Buddy of mine bought a historic home up in St. Francisville. Tiny place that ran him just south of $750K. No view of river but close to it, and similar vibe to Natchez. FWIW, he says it’s a bitch to deal with the preservation society re any work on the house. Everything he does to renovate the place has to be approved by the society.

I hear that in his crusade as a white apologist, he has managed to kill Trinity Episcopal Day school and make the Pilgrimage Tableaux a joke of its former self.
Has anyone else heard that or was I mislead?

My wife grew up there and live there for a long time as an adult. And she couldn’t wait to get out.
In general, there’s not a lot of economic activity so a number of people are just making time until they can get married and/or move elsewhere.
If you are living in one of those baller houses on the river, you either have old money or have made a ton of it and decided to retire to “the country”. Because you sure didn’t make money there in this generation.
I don’t think even drug dealers there could make that kind of money.

Agreed
I went to a wedding there about 10 years ago.
My then fiance and I stayed at a hotel downtown that had a name similar to the Ebola Hotel...that was my nickname for it anyway.
After the wedding and reception we got a little lost and ended up on a residential street about 4 blocks off of downtown. It was like a Dr. Dre video x 10.

I never quite heard what happened with Trinity other than it closing.
My assumption was that, like Redemptorist, the diocese wanted to sell the property rather than run the school.

A few months ago somebody posted map for a new intestate (from TX to SC) that will run through Natchez (and Brookhaven, making it the intersection of two interstates)
Wonder what effect that will have if it ever gets built

He should probably leave. That's the kind of preservation I like. I like the way it was before he got here.

Interstate through Natchez would be a good thing for the city. It’s pretty isolated.
It’s not a bad drive from Baton Rouge anymore but it is from everywhere else.
Love going to the balloon festival and hanging out a few times a year.

It would spur through traffic for sure but there isn’t much local industry.
It should spur at least the restaurant industry and the trucking industry but they need something like the paper mill to come back.

it would cost a lot of headaches keeping those old houses up.

It's a great drive from Jackson down the Trace, but is isolated. Vicksburg is a cool place, but has a lot of crime. There's a shootout or murder about once a week.

There are young people there. If you have a professional degree (I.e. Law, medicine, engineering, etc.) and a contact or two you can make a good living in Natchez. The private schools are decent.
This. Old oil money, large farms, niche shops, and tourism. Not much to make a living there. IP closed a long time ago. Been some movement on building a plant at the old IP property but I don’t know if it ever got finished. Talks in Vidalia of building a new plant other than the old Alcoa plant but residents are fighting it. If you want to make a living there you have to be a Dr, lawyer, vet, or go in on a family business.

I’m just hearing about this. That really sucks.
