Jackson, Mississippi recent comments:

An incoming package containing a custom knife from California, with a custom leather sheath from North Carolina, was CUT OPEN AT THIS LOCATION, THE KNIFE WAS STOLEN WITH THE SHEATH, then the box was TAPED SHUT AGAIN and shipped on with only the belt inside! THIS POSTAL CENTER IS EMPLOYING THIEVES AND SCUM. The package arrived taped back together at the cut. The thief had to take the tied-up, wrapped-up merchandise out, unwrap and untape it, remove TIGHT packing material from around it, remove the sheathed knife from the belt, then put just the belt BACK into the box, seal it up, and ship it on for "signature delivery". The USPS has to know what truck it arrived on, what truck the damaged package (without knife and sheath) left on, and who was working that shift, who handled it, etc. So there is no excuse for them not getting to the bottom of it. None at all. The whole shift should be fired, period. You can see a picture of this knife and sheath here: http://www.mottimorphic.com/Ace_small.jpg If anyone sees this knife, please contact the USPS Office of the Inspector General, and me, at wm_mott@yahoo.com. THANKS!!! DO NOT MAIL PACKAGES THAT HAVE TO GO THROUGH JACKSON MISSISSIPPI. Not if you don't want your goods STOLEN BY THIEVES. Use UPS instead.

99% Invisible did an interesting story on this. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/americas-last-top-model/

I first marked this turn-table in 2010. When I happen to check it two years later I saw that it had rotated more then 15 degrees from its old position indicating that it was still in use.

It doesn't say she went to Belhaven College. She did, however, live on Pinehurst Street, and her house can be seen from Belhaven's campus. Novelist Elizabeth Spenser, however, did go to Belhaven.

Home to the oldest surveyed streets in Jackson. Also, it was made infamous by 1046 Whitworth Ave. Home to the largest parties ever seen in Mississippi.

Interesting note: Jackson is built on top of an ages-old extinct volcano. Were the volcano above-ground, the mouth would be almost directly underneath the coliseum. Ponder that carefully the next time you are there at a rodeo.

Awesome! I knew I couldn't possibly be the only one who loved those things. They were just TOO good.

OMG! i remember getting those potato logs there too! man those were the days!

Many fond memories shopping here as a kid with my grandmother, who was about Ms. Welty's age.

I spent a lot of time here as a kid. The fried chicken and potato logs at the Jitney deli were the best around!

I have since moved from Jackson, but everytime I visit I always stop here.
