re: How bad is Jackson? Lost its Cracker Barrel.

Went to Jackson circa 1996 to see a Russian museum exhibition. Naively went to the nearby theater that night for The Nutty Professor and were perhaps the only honkies there. That was a a helluva cultural experience.

Hotel told us not let anyone in the gate to the courtyard. You had to use a room key to enter. A sweet old lady asked me to let her and her son in, but I declined and noted the clerk’s strict instructions. That sweet lady called me a GD white MF. I’m still laughing about it.
