Peavey is still there.

Sorry to read your thoughts on Meridian.

I’d say Jackson has seen much better days.

I have family in Madison.
They love it.

You’re right about most folks voting more conservative than Utah.

of course Jackson has seen better days....we talk about that around here pretty steadily...I was actually thinking about this early this morning lying in bed about how downtown Jackson has two large buildings....the King Edward and Standard Life Blgs which have been totally vacant and/or abandoned for more almost 50 years in the case of the King Edward and around 35 for Standard Life.

Much of Jackson is ravaged by black blight and yet they plan to spend over 100 million downtown on yet another renewal project.

Granted the suburbs to the northeast and far east are much better.

Meridian may be the same. I am not familiar with it beyond the interstate and downtown which have declined. It is true that Meridian was larger than Jackson till I think around WWII. Something I did not know till reading a Jackson history.

Sorry to have offended. I don't blame responsible folks for the decline in Mississippi cities.

If it's any consequence I hear if you really want to see something sad go see Greenville...that the decline there is precipitous

*I swatted the baby last nite..now 22 months on his diapered rump once last nite when he got out of his crib for the umpteenth time...i will never forget the crushed look on his face, he's seen his brothers whupped but it's never been anything but hugs and kisses or maybe some stern admonishment tween he and I......it made me very sad...him being the last and all......the worm turns...maybe I took it out on Meridian.
