Not surprising there are no NE Jackson cooling stations. The only objective of the MS Rapid Response Coalition is to generate free pub for Rukia.
Not surprising but I would not go to a cooling center put on by the city if it was the last place on earth.
KF, I just pulled up the entergy outage map.. why are some of these in locations with full electricity in all the neighborhoods surrounding the cooling centers? Who are making these decisions? Some areas have no power whatsoever and they got overlooked
The COJ can’t even put up cooling centers without y’all bitching about it?
What a bunch of snowflakes..
Be sure to wear your mask at these centers.
Where in the hell is Entergy?
Cool!
You all got any hamburgers?
The weather is oppressively in the mid 80’s. Please don’t make these people suffer any more. BTW, I picked Cotten in the 60’s when it was 100 plus.
Back in my day we didn't have air conditioning...
Did the city ever get the traffic light at Northeast Dr and Ridgewood back on?
I know its in the mean ol' white folks area so they will gladly overlook it for as long as possible.
@3:44 on 6/18 - Entergy's map is full of mistakes. It shows our area as having power but we have had no electricity since about 5:00 a.m. last Friday.
The destruction is so bad in southwest Hinds County that the earliest estimate for restoration of our service is 10:00 pm Wednesday night.
We're doing what we always do in these situations out here in rural areas - sharing and caring for each other.
Barnes and Noble...the greatest cooling center of all time!
Did the city provide a generator for the Chowke crib?
On Entergy's outage map Lumumba's gated street looks like a phallus. Go look for yourself.
"cooling centers"
Just a few months ago these places were called shelters.
