Wait a second, this would mean you’d live in Mississippi on purpose. This can’t be right.

I'm in Mississippi because this is the closest place I could get to NOLA with an in-grade transfer...

lived in downtown Vicksburg for a year...the wasted potential in that downtown is sad, a combination of the old white monied people and the black political class...this is a small city with Interstate access, river port, and north-south/east-west railroad connections...and they can't seem to pull themselves into economic growth...

Cave: I'm 99% sure know each other. When did you grad HS?

He's alot older than you that's all I know.

So besides the vineyard, brewery and trace is there anything I am missing we should look into?

Steampunk coffee is a cool atmosphere and cooks bomb arse crepes on the weekend. The Camp is a nice, casual eating place with a beautiful view right on the river (try Magnolia Grill for more fancy right on the river). Slick Rick's is a nice sandwich spot downtown. King's Tavern is very neat, has decent food, and is right next to the Charboneau Distillery which does tours and makes award winning rum.

Always hit up Longwood and then some combination of Rosalie, Stanton Hall, or Dunleith.

And always finish at least one night under the hill at the Saloon getting a bit too drunk and playing darts/foosball.

ETA: If you feel like making an excursion a bit out of town there's also the Frogmore plantation to the west. They basically have recreated what a cotton plantation would have looked like back in the day.

Cotton alley is pretty good, roux 61 is ok, jug heads is good for trashy atmosphere but good seafood, although its been a good while since ive been to jugheads.

Emerald Mound in the Natchez Trace is incredible old earthworks. It’s a good picnic lunch type of place. There’s a few other Trace stops nearby you’ll see the signs for. Pull over and go see them.

Grand Village of the Natchez Indians is also worth a visit.

There’s a couple of drive thru daiquiri places across the river in Vidalia.

Pearl Street Pasta is good eats.

A little bit north of Natchez is the Port Gibson Civil War battlefield. It’s not on the scale of Vicksburg but it’s cool.

Good pic.

Bring boxes for the kids to skid down it.

They don't know anything about that in Vicksburg, and the others don't care. Folks there think having a couple of casinos and a military park make it a boom town. They don't know anything about how to forge ahead with economic growth, and the rest don't like change, period. Of any kind.
