Natchez home to tamales and margaritas gets new abode
A little off the beaten path from family law, but important news nonetheless and great news for those lovers of tamales and margaritas at the infamous Fat Mama’s in Natchez, Mississippi. The Mississippi Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the City of Natchez and Fat Mama’s to relocate Fat Mama’s from its current historic location to the corner of Canal and Washington.
The dispute arose when the United States Department of Interior designated land as a national park. The land included Fat Mama’s present location. So Fat Mama’s had to move. The city approved the new location, but some homeowners filed a lawsuit protesting its relocation and rezoning of the area. In an opinion issued this last Tuesday, the Mississippi Court of Appeals upheld the City of Natchez’s decision to approve the rezoning.
So for those of us who travel to Natchez (if you have not been, you are missing an experience), rest assured that Fat Mama’s will continue serving those tamales and margaritas and soon will be sporting a new location—hopefully one with a little more parking.
