i went to Jackson after going gambling with a friend in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
i was really suprised by the city; although it was very slow downtown, that was a nice thing; vehicle traffic was so light i didn't have to worry about getting hit. there was a decent amount of street life, and a lot of rennovation seemed to be taking place.
a lot of pics taken from my friend's car, and we were in a hurry to get back to Birmingham, so the quality on some's not the best, but who knows when there's going to be another Jackson thread?
i took this pic back in march while going to Texas; Jackson looks better at street level
