Jackson Jambalaya

Stupid. Just stupid. As if there aren't enough distractions for drivers already: talking on phones, texting, iPods, etc.

STUPID and UGLY.

If Lamar does that, I personally will boycott anything advertised on it.

Sounds like they've been to the Gene "I sold my soul to retail" McGee school of local government.

I'm still trying to figure out how they got away with putting in that double wide trailer directly behind Windward Bluff.

Surely such wouldn't be visible from the water!?!

We are a state of rednecks and financiallyfhe shortsighted whores. Mickey Dee's on Lakeland, Spell wanting digital signage at the top of High Street, and now this.

Let Lee Yancey dismantle the PRV

PRWV has done a much better job than most of area counties, smaller towns, and especially everything that is jackson.. This idea will die soon enough, and we'll be back to complaining about geese in no time.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

11:48. I agree. Soon complaining about the nasty geese will be the hot topic around the Reservoir. I lived at the Reservoir when the nearest grocery store was on I-55. I don't think you will hear many compaints about the convience of nearby shopping there either.

Am hearing they want to stick a Walgreens or CVS where Penn's is now as well. NICE.

KF, your bitching is quite a bit more useful when directed at things that are broken, like ALL of Jackson. And even better, when it's accurate.

If the longtime RESIDENTS of the reservoir don't like the ideas, they die a pretty quick death. Unlike some, we just don't get our panties in a wad when the ideas are brought up.

I think the bitching comment is a bit over the top. The one thing you did get right is we do use our voice when we are impacted by "bad" ideas. Information is power jackass. That is why I believe your bitching comment is inappropriate.

I suggest they contact the MDOT Maintenance Division prior to installing billboards along the ROW. It's more than likely illegal without a permit, and State and Federal standards must be adhered to since State and Federal funds have financed upgrades to Spillway Road.

I will offer that digital billboards intended for drivers to read is total neglect to the safety of the traveling public. And erecting billboards along Spillway Rd, is even more of a hazard, as the innocent victims of distracted drivers cannot veer off onto a wide shoulder or into the grassland to avoid a crash. If they are lucky enough to bust through the concrete barrier or jump the guardrail, they may be lucky enough to die via drowning!
Spillway Rd is classified as a Federal Highway. I could give a rat's ass about what the locals think. I care about the safety of MY family when driving on a Federal Highway, and I am entitled to enjoy all of the safety precautions in your neighborhood and mine. So when your teenage child runs over and kills my child because he/she was distracted by the billboards, remember this post!!
