How is life in Jackson, Mississippi?

Well, first off, I would like to say that you made a good choice in Flowood as a suburb to live in. It is one of the few municipalities in the area that is actually LOWERING its taxes. The city government is doing its job well there.\n\nPersonally I like Jackson because it is a big enough metro area that you can get most services that you might need, but not so big that you can get lost in the shuffle. \n\nOne thing about the state that is a little screwy, though. The alcohol laws. (If you do not drink, you can just skip this paragraph.) The laws governing alcohol in the state vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. So it may be legal to by wine in one city, but not in the next. (Jackson you can Mon. - Sat., across the river in Flowood you can not buy wine at all.) I moved here from California and this system just does not make a whole lot of sense.\n\nSome best places ....\n\nCoffee ... Forget Starbucks, the local chain called Cups (there are at least six in the area) has the best coffee you can find.\nBar ... Fenian's Pub on Fortification St. in Jackson. Great food. Reasonably priced drinks. Live music most nights.\nShopping ... Well there are two places that are really competing for this one at this time, Northpark Mall and Dogwood Festival Market. Dogwood is in Flowood, so it will be closer, but it is outdoors, so weather is a factor.\nBookstore ... Lemuria Books in Banner Hall. Great place. They often have book signings by local as well as nationally known authors.\nFamily Entertainment Value ... The Mississippi Braves minor league baseball. The facility is new. The people are nice, and there is something for the whole family if they like baseball. And at tickets starting at $5 each, it does not break the bank to go out with the kids.\nCajun Food ... I know a lot of opinions vary on this one, but for my money, Que Sera Sera in the Fondren District. Damn good food.\n\nI hope this is a little bit of a help.

Originally, it was because the state had a great amount of farmland and free labor(slavery).  Also, the ease of shipping down the MS River was beneficial.\n\nNow, I don't believe it is not the King of the Mississippi economy.  Probably soybeans.  And Gambling of course.  MS is the 3rd largest gambling destination in the world behind Vegas and Atlantic City.

It great! Everything you need is within walking distance (well almost everything) GREAT restaurants, great bars, friendly people. It can get expensive though. So make sure Mom and Dad are up to chipping in on some of your expense. I live in MI and I love going to Ann Arbor. There is so much music and Cultural influences. It just might be the most socially significant area of Michigan.

the west side of winston and the northwest forsyth county area are good. a lot of people live in the town of kernersville-between winston salem and greensboro for the best of both cities. some live in davie county or yadkin county to the west because of tax rates. as for work-it depends on the type of job-if it's medical, we have a world reknown university hospital which is the largest employer in the area and a second community hospital plus both have tons of satellite facilities. otherwise, the two (past) largest employers, Sara Lee Knits and R J Reynolds tobacco are laying off employees left and right so don't even bother with them. lots of banking, insurance, law firms-wachovia, gmac, etc. might be a good place to start.

Many places, but, from observation, a greater pecentage of African Americans live in Phoenix area.\nFor house hunting, try Realtor.com and for schools results try greatschools.net.\nIf you are looking for a "community" feeling I am not sure where to tell you to look, just that Phoenix has the largest cultural mix, followed by Tucson. Both places are very hot (I grew up in Phoenix) and school quality and quality of life can vary widely.\nGet a good realtor who really know the area to help you make a choice.\n\nForgot about jobs. It really depends on what type of work you do. There are plenty of entry level jobs in many areas, but the better paying jobs vary.\n\nGood luck

I was raised in Nashville.  I still live in middle Tennessee, but now I’m about 70 miles from Nashville.\n\nIt does get pretty humid at times here in middle Tennessee.  There are some days that seem almost intolerable, but mostly it’s hardly noticeable, especially once you get acclimated.  As far as how long it would take a person to get accustomed to this humid climate, I can’t tell you, because I’ve always been here.  In so far as the bugs and snakes are concerned, I would think that they are no more copious or intrusive then any other place.  The only “natural disasters” that would occur in this area come from the storms that we have occasionally.  Damage could come from hail, lightning or tornados.\n\nA good place to set up residence outside of Nashville is in Wilson County.  It’s just East of Nashville on Interstate 40 and includes the towns of Mt Juliet and Lebanon.  Lebanon is about 20 miles from Nashville.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

Go to the Mississippi education web page, usually you can get in through the states official web page. Then look for the county and it well tell you. You can even get lunch menus and bell schedules. Hope it helps.

I have lived MN,CO,FL,MN,NV,NM,MN, and I have to say that\nMINNESOTA is the best. We have it all. The state has a balance of urban and rural, ALL four seasons, thousands of lakes, bountiful wildlife, and the best baseball team in the Major Leagues(Go Twins!) . No coincidence that its called "God's country".
