Ed "Unk" Montgomery
SHOE SHINER
“From this corner, I see the past, the present, and the future of Natchez.”
If Unk doesn’t know the news, then it’s not worth telling. He shines shoes in a white cinder-block building at one of the
busiest intersections in town, where U.S. 61 (Jefferson Street) meets Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard. Unk likes to joke
with his customers and probably knows just about everything happening in Natchez. A shine runs you easily less than $10. As
for the gossip, you get what you pay for.
Ask about: The escalating prices of polish or the last city elections.
