I love the scooter idea. When you go to Key West it's the preferred way to get around, but all those people opposed to noisy buses and RVs Should hear what these little scooters sound like. If you think tourist drive the wrong way on our streets wait till they are buzzing around on scooters up Main and down Franklin. BbbZzzzzzzz beep beep! Look both ways at Pilgrimage time.
If you need a Head Shop I hear there is one at the Rainbow Exxon in Vidalia. BuZzzzz Beep Beep!

I for one am glad they are raising the man hole covers. I was starting to think some joker went around planning these covers(which are 4 -6 inches below street level and have been since last time)right where the tires have to roll over in normal driving lanes. Plus I sure hope they fix the dip at MLK and Jefferson st my trailer hitch drags unless I come to a complete stop and roll slowly over.Then there is the railroad tracks (they replaced the roadway right up to them)in front of Fat Mama's. I fear NPD is going to pull me over one day for weaving in and out of these obstecals.

You need to become more knowledgeable about camping, RV's, and their accomodations. You do drive a 5th wheel, it becomes an extetion of your vehicle the way its mounted to the truck bed. Thus a "5th wheel"check your insurance its covered in this way. Diesel pushers(upscale RV's) don't idle in parks,at worst their generator may run. Most parks have rules about this. They do sometimes ride through town on the way to the RV park, but most of those drivers would prefer to explore in their tow vehicle. They do spend lots and I mean lots of money at local restaurants,shopping ,and attractions.
This "Butch" thing is really eating you up. He must have done something really horrible to you personally for you to harbor these feelings for so many years. Natchez in many ways is an open asylum............Maybe you need to come back and you can work out these frustrations before it kills you. I, BTW do not hold with name calling, I'm a true Southern Gentleman. I'm far from a hipocrite, I'm just an average guy who is civically minded and above all else ....Fare.
These blogs are for adults to interact with each other to help settle matters such as "The RV Park" by voicing opinions. They are not for personal attacks on others concerning subjects like childish name calling,personal wealth,mental capabilities, or station in life!
With this I think I will join Bee for a cup of hot tea on the verandah , enjoy the pleasures that Natchez still offers and get off this subject. All the negativeness makes me feel ill inside.

Old Natchez Money doesn't impress me. You need to let go of the HATE and JEALOUSY it will consume you and is not very Christian like either. The point here is with our economy the way it is we need to look at every possible way to bring money into the city to help preserve it. You ran away from Natchez for whatever reason. Let us who live here earn a fair living Stop trying to stifle it from afar. Natchez is a wonderful place, but it takes money to pay for good streets,fire and police protection,and all that makes this a great place to live. We need more progressive thinkers. Not people who poo poo something because of who owns it and stands to make a buck or who might be inconvienenced. The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few.

My dear Woman there are several house beyond Mount Repose. GOOGLE IT PLEASE! Streets are named and laid with out a single person living on them. If he didnt want a MLK address SO WHAT! Most RV parks do not let you Idle or even run your generator,there are 30 amp and 50 amp hookups To accomadate them . Thats why they charge $100 a night.They only idle while "Boondocking" and few of these folks boondock unless they have a good reason. As for being bright.....Im brighter than most and have more common sense than many. I know this........... people with good breeding don't Brag about their wealth, nor do they flaunt it ! My point is your first statement about putting this RV park at Mount Repose was spiteful and just down right mean spirited not to mention STUPID! The canal Street location is perfect. If it doesn't Pass city planning then it probably shouldn't happen at all.

Beesmart, don't forget the reclaiming of the riverfront with all those Federally paid granite rocks for future development. RBH if you are "Thankful" for leaving Natchez I am even more so. You sound very Bitter. We don't need "Natchez Negatives". I'm sure your upscale 5th wheeler is real nice as you cruise around your destinations in your Dually truck. And don't forget those damned noisy diesel buses that bring all the Pilgrims and tourist here, we need to get rid of that too. We can have a nice quiet ghost town. Not just Butch ,but a lot of people refuse to have Pine address taken away from them after many years Just so it can be called MLK. He is lucky because he has Bisland Rd for an address .It is a street........ Google it. Anywho, I would think that a roadway named MLK would be a Blvd like other cities. Maybe your bitterness is because you "received" not "resided" at Mount Repose. Maybe if you had a Natchez Mansion instead of a 5th wheeler,you wouldn't have left for a "better life" I love Natchez and will never leave, When I die plant me in the Natchez Cemetery.

Yes the trace is proposed to come right up those train tracks and end at the reconstructed Fort. National parks always have camping too. State and National park camp grounds are nice, but they are a far cry from the upscale RV park being proposed. I will run for mayor in the future and I hope I can be half the Mayor /businessman Butch is.

Why are people so jealous of Butch making money he's a smart business man and we should all strive to be more like him. As for Mount Repose It is Shields family home. It is not on Martin Luther King, or Martin Luther Pine, or Pine Ridge Road. As for the money made on tour homes it is pennys compared to the thousands it takes to keep up an antebellum home,I own one I know. The people who open their private homes do it for the goodness of their hearts to share with the rest of the world. Natchez is "Where the Old South Still Lives" As for Butch helping tourism in Natchez after not getting re-elected (and being replaced with a lame duck)he went on to be director of MDOT with this he has been busy improving and four laning roads in to Natchez. His Heart is still in Natchez and always will be.

I would be terrified to camp in Downtown Chicago.Natchez is not Chicago.We are more like St Augastine, Williamsburg or Key West, all of which have up scale RV parks in their downtowns. I whole heartedly agree on making sure it doesn't become a trailer park. We certainly don't want that. Money on the other hand is something we all need, His hand, Your hand , My hand, We all need it.
