Probably won't happen, but it is a pretty area of the state. That's why I mentioned it in the National Park threads.

I'm telling you man, had Vicksburg been named capital, and MSU located there, and then eventually I-55 had come through Vicksburg and Natchez instead........would have been awesome. You got those two places, Port Gibson, Homochitto National Forest and River, Okhissa Lake.......

Then Clark Creek right down the road. And a strip club in Woodville, if it's still kicking.

Dang. We really turned some heads with that National Parks thread I guess.

Hyatt ...has balls.

 

[ronpolk]

With this being near the homochitto national forest, can anyone tell me if this hotel will be considered a national park******

Creekmore family investment. They just bought the Hyatt franchise.

There was actually an announcement about this, maybe a year or so ago. Been in the works.

Something about “Destination” and “Mississippi” in one sentence is usually not positive in nature.

(Ex: “The Mississippi Delta is a an agrarian destination that allows one to see as far as the eye can see.”)***********

I wish they'd concentrate on better coverage for their cell phones.

Not to highjack the thread but is the boutique hotel close to the MS Capital still there ?
Can’t remember the name of it but it
use to be a very nice hotel if you liked staying in non-chain hotels occasionally.
