Ha, I'll take the blame for the "it's", that's sad and funny at the same time. I promise I know the difference. Like Donna said, there's really no excuse.

To Grace Wallace's credit, I think her comment was more of an extended "Oh, no. Not Again," than it was her actually telling me not to open a can of worms. Maybe not the best choice of words, though.

Gotham, really? I must have missed the point when Jackson became just like a fictional city of millions of people at the world's economic center, which is based on New York.
Next, how can we "get BACK to the Jackson" you know, while at the same time progressing?
And there is far more to Jackson than crime, poor education, drugs and a system that has forgotten the people. There is a growing creative, artistic, young generation; there are entertainment, retail and housing developments in the works; there is good education (public schools aren't the only educators out there); and way too many other positives to mention here.
Reeko, your comment reeks of contradiction and complaint. How can you get upset when someone wants to help re-brand the city and take the focus off the exact things you say are all we have?

P.S. - Malls are a dying breed everywhere, not just here, and have been for well over a decade. If that's how you want to spend your time, we still have a McDonald's and an Old Navy, you'll just have to drive between them. Feel free to bring along a Walkman with a Tiffany cassette to complete the atmosphere.
