Jackson Metro Area Starbucks Closings

I guess that tells a story within a story, it looks like 4 out of 5 Starbucks within a 10 mile or so radius are closing in the Jackson Metro area. I have been living here for 11 years and I am still amazed at how this city stays alive. Of course in a lot of ways, it doesn’t.
I have 2 teenagers and their list of things to do just keeps shrinking almost daily. About the only thing that they have to do is go to the movies or go swimming at Ross Barnett Reservoir. So let’s see, go see [...]



Jackson Mississippi on Google Street View

Google announced yesterday that Jackson, MS is one of 37 new areas that have been added to their Street View Maps.
To celebrate Street View’s one year birthday, I am very happy to announce we are bringing Street View to 37 (you heard me - 37!) new areas and we have expanded coverage in 15 of our existing areas. All in all, this effectively doubles our coverage. Link : Street View turns 1, keeps on growing
Between this and the new Real Estate maps there is a lot to take in on Google Maps for the Jackson area. Now you can easily [...]



Thanks WJTV

WJTV in Jackson, held a Central Mississippi Blogger Meet-Up on Saturday May 5th. The turn out was very, very disappointing. I was shocked that only 2 bloggers showed up.
Jackson is definitely an apathetic area, but I really thought the bloggers would cross that boundary. How in the world can a blogger be apathetic?
The staff of WJTV was very open and gracious to host this event and did not let the low attendance affect them, and we really appreciate that.
Terry Heaton was a catalyst for this event and his knowledge of both the mainstream media and the blogosphere is incredible. He [...]



If you want to join the Circus, move to Jackson, MS

This is one crazy place to be. I have been here for almost 10 years and I still walk around wondering about it. I have lived in several states, mainly Texas and I have never felt like I understood Mississippi.
It is a beautiful place, and it has some of the nicest people in the world, but, it is really a crazy place to live.
When Frank Melton was running for Mayor of Jackson it sounded great, a man on a mission that would take all the necessary actions to straighten out the crime. Now that agenda appears to be totally upside [...]



Immigration Debate

I have stayed clear of this issue so far, but, it is getting increasingly harder to do. I grew up as a Military brat, this means that I learned to live and share with people from all corners of this country.
Most of my youth was spent in the San Antonio, Texas area. Both my children where born in Victoria, Texas. I now reside in Jackson, Mississippi. I have spent most of my life in areas that are made up of a large portion of the American minority population.
This article by Herbert Meyer hits the nail on the head. No American [...]

Donna Brazile And Roland Martin Get Down


CNN Dance Party! Last night at the CNN Grill — with which avid readers of my Twitter are by now well-acquainted — an impromptu dance party started up sometime after the speeches ended. (We're not sure how much time, but probably enough for that CNN Red Ale to hit the sweet spot.) We were having a fascinating discussion about Twitter with Jon Klein, when the first strains of "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5 came on, and suddenly there were CNN pundit-stars Donna Brazile and Roland Martin turni
