Meh.
South Louisiana's culture is VASTLY different than that in Jackson, MS.
ETA:
Catholic v. Non-Catholic Baby Murderers (I kid, I kid)
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.
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?

Did I say that? God you're a twat. I just spent Thanksgiving in Jackson for the 4th year in a row. Its different than Louisiana's drinking culture. Not saying one is better than the other. Half my friend group from college was from Prep/JA/St. Andrews. (I went to Ole Miss)
And whoever is saying Jackson's food is great, 3 restaurants does not make a city have great, unique food.
Soul food is solid lots of places.
Birmingham is nicer in Mountainbrook or whatever, but the city itself can blow me. Cops are Hitler youth.

Hmm, where?

Then why hasn't it been tapped into?
All I'm saying is its traditional Southern culture in a large, shitty city without the draw of a small town like Oxford. It has completely lost its best residents to surrounding areas as well.
And I'd like to add again that think Baton Rouge is shitty, just not as epicly shitty as Jackson.
