Is this the same Jim Barksdale that has been trying to built up Mississippi through his generous philanthropy? <br />The area on & around Highland Colony Parkway is unlike any other in Mississippi. From retail to residential, it is the best of Mississippi. <br />Why would one desirous of building up Mississippi be desirous of destroying this area? Mr. Barksdale has an admiral legacy in progress, why would he want to tarnish this by placing a big box discount store right in the middle of this area?<br />Does he need the money? I thought he had plenty. Obviously he does not have as much as rumored. This will not only leave a black eye on his name, but tha Barksdale name as a whole.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-79597643113157492342015-08-16T18:50:27.530-05:002015-08-16T18:50:27.530-05:00Pro Costco "at this location" r only out...Pro Costco "at this location" r only out for the money.

My point is this-ANY elected official who is only interested in one issue is and will be a failure. He needs to jump on this issue like he did OH. Leave OH the hell alone. The houses have been running almost a year-no one has died, no one has been raped, killed, or murdered. Move on to issues that matter. I'm tired of the same old bullshit I see on this blog. And, no, I don't work for the state dept no do I work for OH. I'm just a person who is tired of hearing all the whining crap on this blog. It's over. Enough.

Shoot, you almost can't see them from the road.<br /><br />The little group of angry people who started and kept revising and expanding the rumors, lies and predictions of doom about Costco and it's decision to choose Ridgeland for its first MS store should be ashamed. But I'm sure they aren't - d**n the facts, full speed ahead. Poor things, their Mamas didn't teach 'em right.<br /><br />Mayor McGee not only managed to attract a company that every mayor in every town in the Metro wanted, he also showed amazing grace and patience with those mean-spirited folks in the HS cafeteria when they switched to boo'ing and character assassination. I'd have turned off the mic and walked away from a mob like that. (By the way, their alderman's bound to have known a lynchin' was planned - he didn't even have the courage to show up.)<br /><br />Bravo Mayor, Bravo Ridgeland - landing Costco is GOOD news. You< Costco and Ridgeland deserve better treatment you got from that churlish band.<br /><br />BTW - those same folks have conveniently forgotten the Dinsmore development was the real desecration of Old Agency Road. You want to talk about heavy trucks and traffic jams - I remember 'em (shoot little children couldn't ride bicycles anywhere close to all that construction back then)<br /><br />(Sarcastically) Weren't things sooo much better before the Zebra Motel burned and a bunch of evil money-grubbing developers started building roads and houses on the unspoiled farms and hunting areas in that tiny little town north of Jackson.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-7136790018302908982015-08-14T15:38:34.539-05:002015-08-14T15:38:34.539-05:00Where does someone who actually wants the Costco t...Where does someone who actually wants the Costco there sign up?
