Hi Patricia. Welcome to the board. I lived down south in Columbia in the 60's. We used to go up to Jackson to shop about once a month. We got some of our TV from Jackson Stations.
One very memorable Jackson event was when the Hinds County Sheriff raided a party at the Governors Mansion and confiscated all of the booze. (Mississippi was a totally DRY State at the time) A day of two later on the TV news they showed the Sheriff sitting on a downtown corner dumping all of the confiscated booze down a street gutter drain!!!



(That would totally blow away the EPA if that happened today!!!)
