Jackson is terrible.

Jackson is your typical Southeastern U.S. city, only without a draw like a Beale Street or a Bourbon St. or a University/college scene like a Baton Rouge. If there were something to rally around in Jackson, say, the state flagship institution, it would be much more appealing IMO. Imagine Memorial Stadium being a 90,000+ seat SEC stadium and the Fondren area being a nice bar scene that feeds off of that.



ETA: Not to mention the Reservoir area. A flagship university in Jackson would have doubled the size and the economy of that city at least. Too bad the people at the time didn't have the vision to see it.
