Mike, did you read the entire article, or just the parts that you wanted to gripe about? Its pretty logical to have a company out of Jackson do it all at once, rather than start...stop...start again. Not to mention more cost efficient.
Don't be thankful that the roads are paved, just make sure to find that dark cloud inside the silver lining.

"An additional $10,000 is being spent on a three-minute high definition video that will be on the Web site." Please note the word "additional"...as in, not included in the $15-17k estimate.
Is a high definition video necessary?
Standard definition would cost half of that, and actually be useful. A high-definition video is wasted across the net. Do you think people will download our informative video, burn it to disc, pop it into their $500 blu-ray dvd player, and watch it on their $1200 1080p LCD screen over the fireplace? No! They are going to watch it in passing just like it were a youtube video.

obamayamama seizes any opportunity to say something negative about Natchez. I would take the comments with a grain of salt.

Understand this. Its not about safety, its about the almighty dollar. If it were about safety, we would not be paying Red Speed for every ticket for eternity.
1. The owner of the car/tag gets the ticket. Not the driver. So, how is this about "safety?" Its not, its about revenue. Go "borrow" your enemy's car tag for a few hours and speed through every red light in town, then return it to their car. Thats what happens when a camera takes the place of a person.
2. The ticket does not appear on your driving record. Well, whats the point? Basically you if you have enough money, you can run red lights all day long...its not a moving violation. It will cost you $120 per light, but if you have that, who cares? Again, not about safety, about revenue.
I would suggest that for every ticket received, the "violator" go to court and fight it. You may lose, but who cares. Enough people contesting these tickets will put an end to the traffic light jackpot bonanza.
Also, if it were really about safety, I would be all for it. But its not. If it were, there would be cameras pointed at the driver as well. They are writing tickets to cars, not people.

We should officially change the seasons
Spring, Summer, Christmas shopping, Christmas returns. Isn't that really what its become?
Wow, I really didnt know that the cities were so into the marketing of Christmas. I thought it was only retail that celebrated Christmas for 3 1/2 months.
Sad really. But thats what happens when your entire economy is based on retail and credit. Lets go into debt every year at Christmas, and not have it paid off by next Christmas, only to fall deeper into debt.

Bad, Bad idea.
Locals will get used to it, but we will constantly be sending tickets to the tourists that we so desperately need. Nothing better than being charged $2/night at any local hotel or B&B for "marketing" and then returning home to find a ticket in the mail that you weren't even aware you got. So much for our word of mouth advertising.
All the magazine ads in the world can't make up for elderly people wanting to brag about how wonderful Natchez was to every other elderly person in their social circle. Welp, this should kill that. Nice call.

"HERE YOU ARE AGAIN; THE SIMPLE-MINDED, SHALLOW REPUBLICAN PARTY! " - In all caps mind you.
And, unfortunately you are right. We, the republican party, had a super secret meeting. (there were thousands there). And we brainstormed on ways to get McCain into office. The best we could come up with, was to spray paint the front of the democratic headquarters in Natchez, MS (population +/- 25,000). Yep, that should do it.
Actually, it was probably some LSU fan, since Alabama is #2 they meant "Oh! Bama Sucks!" (but they forgot the "h" in "oh"...it is an LSU fan after all.

Cool, just add it to the USA's tab...we're good for it. We will all be paying like 92% income tax in no time.

Dragonflyday. Upstairs is the dressing room for the band. Its also where they go between sets. After sweating under numerous 500w lights, its nice to get away from all the drunks slurring out the first three words of whatever random song they are requesting at the top of their lungs with their sweaty arm around you while spit is flying out of their mouth. Its nice to have a little solitude up there. And the ladies you so nicely described going up those stairs may have been the band members wives. So ask questions before shouting acusations.
As for drugs in your drink, I assure you the bar didnt put it there. Last I heard, drugs were expensive, so it would be pretty hard to make money drugging drinks. Perhaps someone didnt like you (which seems understandable considering your post) and wanted you to go home.
As for the fight, yeah, I'm sure some redneck was proving to his girlfriend, the one in the spaghetti strap shirt with part of her fat white belly hanging out, with her pig hooves squeezed into 6" Payless heels and jeans that are so tight that she had to put them on wet and zip them with a pair of channellocks, that he was the baddest man on the planet by beating up a drunken 50 year old man. Gotta love 'dem rednecks. It only gets better during hunting season when half of South Louisiana is in town patrolling the bars in camo looking for skanky drunk chicks because their wives are 300 miles away in Houma/New Iberia/Monterey/Jonesville/insert any other number of random La. towns, raising their children. Grow up fellas. Your girlfriend will still shave your back tomorrow even if you dont beat up some old man.

So, Fat Mama's had to jump though flaming hoops to open what turned out to be a GREAT addition to downtown Natchez, but an RV park is in the works in the historic district?
Haha...I love this place. No where like it on earth.
I propose a Stuckey's at the corner of Main and Pearl.
