To all our Natchez fans, I apologize for butchering how I said Natchez. I now know of that the true way to say Natchez as a local is Natches like matches. My apologies, and I will do my best to not say it the Natchez wrong way again.

Our Dawgs just won the college World Series in Omaha and our baseball stadium is considered the “Carnage Hall” of stadiums, complete with apartments with large private balconies overlooking the field. As for football tailgating SEC style, The Grove, is a not to be missed experience. After all the food and drinks the fans will share with you, you’ll be content to sit in the shade of those magnificent trees and watch the game on a TV found in many of the tents. Enjoy Mississippi from a house divided; Hail State/Hotty Toddy!

Hurricane Katrina devastated the area and most of the old, beautiful southern homes on the beach road were totally gone afterwards. Washed away. Everyone is coming back stronger.

Now I’m trying to move my family back because I miss it so much down there. My wife and I have been talking about it for years now and I think we can finally make it happen. Just waiting on a couple of phone calls for jobs before we make the trek. Edit: plan to move didn’t work out, had a job offer and then they just quit communicating.

I've also visited Vicksburg for the battlefield and it was a great experience, I'll be visiting Natchez next year, hopefully staying at Dunleith. And yes the Confederate flag doesn't bother me at all as a person of color since I"m also from the South (Louisiana), no different than someone flying an Irish or Italian flag to show their heritage and its used for regional pride too.

I appreciate your praise and honest appraisal of Mississippi. I lived the first half of my life in Ohio and the Midwest and the second half (over 20 years) in Mississippi. It’s a really good place to live and raise kids and often gets a bad rap. Keep up the good work and enjoyable videos.

Really wish I saw the parts of Mississippi you saw! I must admit we passed through Biloxi on the way to NOLA, but got spooked by the Jeff Davis home. Really regret not giving it a chance

No reason to get spooked bro its just a piece of history on the coast! If you pass through again check it out! You'll learn some cool history!

For what it's worth, I am a dark skinned black man and I love traveling to Biloxi. No one bothers me. I even go to back roads restaurants and no one bothers me. People are extra nice. In fact, next time I am actually going to tour the Jeff Davis house. Also, I have traveled all over the state. No one has said one thing out of line to me and I have not gotten as much as one strange look.

@@TheTruth27536 Mississippi is integrated like any other place. Families are mixed. Like it or not, it's the reality. The Mississippi ghosts can only last as long as people want to believe in them. Some people think Mississippi is a place where there still are lynching's and regular Klan rallies. It's a very false narrative. If you live in Mississippi you know better. But people outside Mississippi don't. Everyone's trying to get on with their lives and live peacefully within a changing world. History is what it is; But there's a bright future too if Mississippians will claim it.

Love your channel and thank you for a very fair report on my home state. Your pronunciation of Natchez does not bother me at all.We have a lot of towns and rivers that are a little tricky to pronounce. We can blame it on a fusion of the first 2 groups of people that lived here: Native Americans and the French. Towns like Shuqualak(Sugar Lock), Kosciusko, Bogue Chitto,, Gautier, Nanih Waiya, Hushpuckena.. Spot on comments about our food. Jackson has a large number of quality restaurants for a mid-sized city. You get very spoiled living here. My rule of thumb is never eat shrimp north of Memphis. Also, if someone invites you to a pot-luck (commonly called “Dinner on the Ground”) lunch at their church, go even if you are an Atheist. My last Don’t would be Don’t knock Mississippi unless you’ve been there. Thanks for the video and I hope you and your family return soon!

Great video! As a local, you hit the nail on the head!! BUT you forgot to mention the great beaches we have on the coast. It's honestly a completely different experience in Coastal Mississippi than the rest of the state. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.

Iv been 2 times (From the UK) my GF is from there and i have a friend that lives in Slidell, Louisiana. had a amazing time, driving big American cars and trucks, All meeting up in Biloxi beach Go karting, gambaling, eating, shooting guns, escape rooms, and in Louisiana swamp tours. went to native American reservation land too. stayed around Hattiesburg and went to small towns like Pachuta and Magee witch has the Zips cafe claim to have the best burger in MS. (idk if its the best iv had but it was still really good and would easily stop by to get another if in the area the Zips sauce is really good too.)

Born and raised here in Vicksburg, just north of Natchez and, like many previous commenters I want to say thank you for being honest and positive about us. We aren't called the Hospitality State for nothing! As for the Confederate Memorials and such, we Mississippians were born and raised around it. Being from Vicksburg, it's everywhere here. If Vicksburg didn't have it, our tourism industry would be practically nothing and that is our "cash cow" you could say. So the whole don't kill the hen that lays the golden eggs thing... While you "Hotty Totty", I'll be over here ringing my cow bell, Hail State Ya'll!

Well, one of the first things you should focus on is learning how to pronounce some of our cities properly. But you’re super respectful, so no harm done!

As a native Mississippian and native Oxonian I was happy to see how prominently Oxford and Ole Miss showed up in the video. You did a very good and respectful job of presenting Mississippi. One more "Don't". If you want to pronounce "Natchez" like a Mississippian, don't say, "Nat-CHEZ". We say "NA-chis". You definitely got the pronunciation of "Biloxi" right.

Drive Natchez Trace Parkway run by the National Park Service, but DONT speed. There is especially great history between Jackson and Tupelo.
