This was precisely the kind of information I was hoping to get from someone who knew the Egglestons in Columbus. No doubt the mansion was in your family. Alas, by now Feb 2022 the old house has been torn down. The city is razing many old houses and cleaning up the area for its growing and community useful sports complexes of soccer fields, riding stables, riverwalk activities. The old Eggleston home site is part of the new innovations in this area.P-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933968001370498941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-18969734691589149372018-09-25T16:22:57.869-07:002018-09-25T16:22:57.869-07:00This is fascinating.

I don't know if the house was related to my family in any way, but most of my family is buried in Friendship Cemetery, my great-grandfather, Thomas Logue Eggleston, was born in Columbus MS in 1847, his father, Edward Carr Eggleston, was born in Richmond VA in 1813 but ran away to live in Columbus MS about 1829. Edward Carr supposedly had built up a fortune in cotton, had a large cotton plantation on the Tombigbee River, owned about 500 slaves (freed at the end of the war), rose to become a major the 1st Alabama Infantry, and was the sheriff of Lowndes COunty, MS for many years. I have no idea if this house is related - but I sure would be interested to find out.

Proffit's Porch is located at Officer's Lake. As the na.e implies, it's where officers from the airbase once swam. It's where I got my first kiss and where I met my husband; now ex-husband. Oh the memories and stories that flood back when I visit there.��Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01855020971668614313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-31993106524264322017-02-03T18:37:56.967-08:002017-02-03T18:37:56.967-08:00Hi Jay,

Its also nicely small around 24,000 people, with a small but dynamic university, lots of great food, lots of great people, who are curious and kind and not at all like you might think of a town in the deep South. It is in fact why I write my blog—to lure people here.P-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933968001370498941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-35194874302277301012017-02-03T14:13:10.210-08:002017-02-03T14:13:10.210-08:00Your outings always sound like such fun, I usually...Your outings always sound like such fun, I usually wish that my husband and I lived there, too.Jay Moseleyhttp://www.jaymoseley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-29810953788147606722017-02-03T12:32:58.290-08:002017-02-03T12:32:58.290-08:00Hi Joyce,

It was fortuitous that I met Rob at the new bookstore on Main last week. I have a new venue to hang out in when I just want to relax. Wednesday's open mic was great last week. So maybe I'll see you again.P-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933968001370498941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-50834707776958852192017-01-29T12:24:28.362-08:002017-01-29T12:24:28.362-08:00Hah autocorrect changed hidey to buddy and I didn&...Hah autocorrect changed hidey to buddy and I didn't catch it before I published.

For anyone else reading this comment, The Mississippi University for Women (which is co-ed) has a culinary arts school and will be building a new structure dedicated to it. That's one of the reasons Columbus has good restaurants as the students graduate and some move out into the surrounding towns.P-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933968001370498941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461343292455054690.post-71964855800476184662016-09-01T12:24:29.971-07:002016-09-01T12:24:29.971-07:00Sounds like you have a plethera of restaurants to ...Sounds like you have a plethera of restaurants to chose from.
