At least NOLA's zoo host visitors in a relatively safe part of the city, while Jackson's does the opposite. Music, plays and dining options? No contest. Pro sports?" <br /><br />Your logic is, "well since I am not stocking my own refrigerator with groceries - you'll take your family over to the Johnson's to go eat, since they have better groceries." <br /><br />Once again, Jackson can have all that, probably except for a pro sports team. But we can handle the rest! We have to start from somewhere. Memphis made the necessary changes to their city, with help from the state. Birmingham made the necessary changes with some help from the state. Not saying Jackson should be a hefty welfare case for the state of Mississippi - but it should be priority one. Its our largest attraction and it gets treated like a red headed step child by Mississippi residents from across the state. Much of that is due to poor race relations and class warfare. <br /><br />Many that have been elected to state wide office in Mississippi, simply used it to fatten their personal coffers at the detriment of this states progress. Regardless of party. Prime example of this, Phil Bryant, he will walk away from the Governors office with about $6 million in his war chest, while Mississippi remains low in quality of life rankings. High murder rate, poor quality of life, high unemployment, public education going down the drain, and $6 billion dollars on the states credit card due to unwarranted tax cuts. With a big ol' confederate themed state flag, that says to the rest of the nation - Mississippi still believes in Jim Crow and Segregation.<br /><br />I will stand my ground. Mississippi is terrible with branding. The residents are stubborn for change and do not know how to put the proper people in place to make changes via their elected officials. <br /><br />Mississippi needs some leaders that want to change the brand of this state and start competing against its southern neighbors, instead of being the stepping stone for the region. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Plain ol' Catfishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-43175829679941782442017-03-14T08:14:59.390-05:002017-03-14T08:14:59.390-05:00This is actually the opposite of what takes place ...This is actually the opposite of what takes place in Jackson.

People want to talk about the crime in New Orleans, but yet the Yuppies of Madison and Rankin County's head their behinds down there damn near every other weekend and boost up their local economy. SMH <br /><br />But yet don't want to take care of business in our own backyards? <br /><br />New Orleans may have its problems - but at least its natives believe in supporting their own. <br /><br />We are our own worse enemies!

Not that you don't have to be aware and use good judgement, I have never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. You see and experience things you probably don't ordinarily see, but that's part of it.

I told her that things looked worse than ever in the Quarter. I don't think New Orleans is trying to do anything about crime. You just don't feel safe walking anywhere in the Quarter, including the main streets.
