A flat flat landscape, until the last 50 miles. This is a ritzy town, mostly comprising antebellum (before American Civil War, so pre-1860) wealth, built on slave trade profits. Some stunning houses & mansions, including the “Doll House” we’re staying in for one night. The downside of the city’s wealth is that it was built on slavery profits.
The Blues restaurant was closed, annoying since it had recently posted on Facebook it was restarting weekend meals with live music, but we found a good restaurant by the landing jetty, almost beneath another huge bridge that crosses this mighty river Mississippi.
