      @PV/ATX:

      Ha, @mclaincausey I thought I recognized your name—I'm from Jackson, too. I think we've got some mutual friends.

      Regarding your description, I couldn't really say it any better. The place has a lot of issues and drives me absolutely crazy on a regular basis, even though I haven't been back in probably five years (since my parents moved to AL). My friends who stay there to contribute to the greater good… man, I just don't know how they do it, haha. I got the fuck out of there as soon as I graduated from high school.

      Yet, as you said, so many good things. I'm very glad I'm from there, and very glad I'm currently not there.

      Nice! I think there are at least 3 of us on here. That's crazy on this little forum, not a big city.

      I have always believed in the potential of Jackson and Mississippi, but I got tired of waiting. Perhaps I was being overly optimistic.

      Think it, be it.

        Makes me proud…..

        "LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn has told the prime minister a Gosport man wrote to him and said: ‘It's become a really unsafe town.’ Speaking during Prime Minister’s Questions today in the House of Commons, the opposition leader and Theresa May clashed over knife crime and street violence.

        Mr Corbyn said: ‘Violent crime has doubled under the Tories' watch and I've had a letter from Mike in Gosport where he says, yes it's important he's got something to say: "The crime rate has run out of control because there is no police presence", adding: "It's become a really unsafe town to live in". ‘I think Mike speaks for millions of people around the country. ‘When are towns such as Gosport and others going to get the resources they need for the safer neighbourhood teams they need to tackle rising violence and crime and provide the intelligence from which arrests can be made against those who have committed those crimes?’ It comes as the police front counter service reopened at Gosport Town Hall after months of closure. The town’s police station has been shut, with neighbourhood officers now based in the council offices. Response and patrol officers reacting to 999 calls are at Fareham Reach, in Fareham Road – which is in Gosport. The town’s neighbourhood team currently has 13 officers and 15 PCSOs, plus an inspector and chief inspector. "

        That said.  I see nothing (well the usual petty drug stuff and wayward supermarket trollies

            That is true, but it is a town with only a population of 70K…..

              It's 70k?  That's bigger than I would've guessed.  Soon it will rival London…

                Spotted at Portsmouth Ferry terminal (so just across from Gosport). Someone had parked their Audi on the slipway not anticipating the arrival of the tide  😶

                    I’m sure that the salt water will not cause any corrosion or electrical issues.  ???  You will probably see it for sale in a few months with a description of low mileage, new braking system, wheel bearings, etc…

                    Maybe they should have listened to that voice inside their head that said “Why isn’t anyone else parked here?”

                        Isn't it a recurring rant of Jeremy Clarkson that Audi drivers are moronic douchebags?  Seems like this could be Exhibit A in that argument.
