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.

Oh you terrible person! Our two-year-old makes us feel so bad when we scold him. He stops what he’s doing and gets very still. Then he looks down. Then he tears up. Then his lower lip pokes out. It’s crushing to him and us. :)
The worst thing is when our oldest son scolds the two-year-old. They are the bestest of buddies. When we get after the 2-year-old, he goes to big brother for comfort. When big brother gets after him, he is left all to himself. It’s so sad. Of course, he gets over it pretty quickly. And thankfully, he catches on and amends his behavior. Except when it comes to writing on the wall. We have a serial scribbler on our hands . . .
Let’s see when you’re late for the party what do
you do? Just jump in I guess.
First Marty Stuart is a distance cousin to the wife.
Saw his home place near Philly(MS) one time. He has very
country roots. He was at the Jerry Clower festival last year.
Another cousin of the wife played in the band that opened
for him. He said he was arrogant SOB and wouldn’t have
anything to do with anybody. That may be why he is
a has been that never was.
(best parts of Mississippi today are rural...)
That would be me. I go to Jackson on when I have to.
45 murders so far this year. Now they are trying
to hang this guy.
