Meh.
South Louisiana's culture is VASTLY different than that in Jackson, MS.

Drinking/alcoholism and cajun cuisine culture is so different from the bible belt area of JAckson. First Pres is where all the gossip goes down in Jackson. Everybody knows everything about everybody's business.
JAckson is WAYY more traditional Southern. And besides Eastover, Jackson itself has completely moved to other cities.

Exactly what I was trying to say.

South Lousiana culture is VASTLY different from the rest of the country. I still submit that there are other nice places around the South, including the Bible Belt, that have great bar scenes and downtown areas despite not having South Louisiana culture - most of the other SEC college towns come to mind. A state college scene would certainly enhance that in Jackson.
Hell, I'm not even sure Baton Rouge and Jackson, culture-wise, are all that different. There is an element of Jackson that is influenced by New Orleanian, French Quarter style culture. The surrounding state and suburbs I'll grant you are hardcore Bible Belt, but Jackson has a certain unique culture that could be tapped into.
You think people in Jackson don't like to drink?
