2 Reviews & Comments About Jackson
horrible streets and roads, crime, businesses leaving the city or states, going out of business, losing airlines, low business environment, bad schools and less good doctors.
The horrible streets and roads the bad; which aren't being repaired due to lack of funds in the budget.
I love Jackson, MS I was born and raised here. I love how you can't even walk down the streets because Jamal or Tyrone might have had a bad day and decide he wants to end your life. I also like all of the homeless harassing me for money and urinating in front of my family and I. The city government is also a haram of idiots pretending to be competent leaders who can't even maintain roads and water lines. I also love how you can't even go to a decently priced restaurant without hearing Tyrone and Shanequa having a screaming match or just screaming for fun. If you have to move here I advise a trip to a gun store. It's a great place, everyone should move here.
My favorite place is when I leave on vacation to somewhere out side of the ghetto
