re: So I just Returned Home From a Weekend Trip To Jackson, MS

. For the capital of a state, Jackson lacked far less resources than other non-capital cities. Their zoo is a joke, no aquarium, no sports teams or venues, no restaurants, or family-friendly attractions.

Jackson does have nice museums and restaurants, even some pretty neighborhoods still. But the zoo is underfunded, in the ghetto, and the planetarium has been closed for years now, which was always a cool attraction when I was a kid. North Jackson has really gone down in the last 20 years. You have working class people living next door to drug houses.

The real kicker here is that there are zero competent people in line to run the city in the future, and even if there was, they couldn't get elected.
