Natchez: Free WiFi, Supper And A Little Christian Charity At The Days Inn Natchez

Aint nothing like a good old stereotype, and our recent visit to the Mississippi Delta pretty much ticked them all off. Awesome accents? Check. Disquieting levels of hospitality? Check. Catfish on the menu and blues singers on every corner? Hell, yeah.

One thing we hadn’t ticked off to start with was the “Southerners are God-fearing” stereotype, but that changed when we reached Natchez and saw this ad for the local Days Inn.

Nothing unusual about a national chain offering a seniors discount, or a freebie. But broadcasting its Christian status with the fish symbol? Not something we’ve seen before.

So kick off your blue suede shoes and get comfy. Indianola is a place that many people seem to skip when theyre in the Delta. We made this mistake our first time, too, with a drive-through visit to the (incredible) BB King Museum. This time, we decided to stay overnight and were recommended the <a href='http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/4901'>Blue Biscuit Bungalows</a>. The Blue Biscuit itself is a blues bar open at weekends opposite the BB King Museum in downtown Indianola. As a bar, its pretty and charming; but as a place to

So kick off your blue suede shoes and get comfy. Its almost exactly two years since we visited the Mississippi Delta to follow the Blues trail, and we were so entranced by what we found there that weve spent the last two years fantasizing about a return. Finally, two weeks ago, we made it out there, and for old times sake, we chose the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/21/115024/561/hotels/Back_To_Basics_Shotgun_Style_Inside_The_Tallahatchie_Flats">Tallahatchie Flats</a> in lovely little Greenwood as our first stop. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/8/21/115024/561/hotels/Back_To_Basics_Shotgun_Style_Inside_The_Tallahatchie_Flats">Last time, we adored it</a> comfy bed, gorgeous setting and, the Flats jewel
