Yeah, sounds like a stretch. But they wanted to say Hospital, because a Walmart was not close by.
How many hospitals in Mississippi are in a relatively ****** part of town? Got to be well over half of them? Somewhat surprising to me that having relatively well paying jobs concentrated like that doesn't do more for the areas around them.
Most of the general population isn’t qualified, nor does it want to be qualified for the good paying jobs. I’d bet 40% of the labor force at Steel Dynamics comes from outside the GTR and those are six figure jobs.
I had to go to the Columbus hospital for something about a year ago. I didn't think it was in a bad part of town. But Google took me to MLK drive by mistake, THAT was a bad part of town.
I don't think it's that bad either, out by the Hospital area. Over the last two years, I've been either visiting at the hospital, or going to Columbus Ortho, at least a dozen times.
It happened in the parking lot right outside the hospital. I know someone that is in that hospital right now. It happened right outside their window. They have posted pictures taken from their window of the police taped off area and police investigating.
I’d definitely agree that the areas of town where they’re located look crappy. Chain link crap everywhere and illegal activity right across the fence.
Columbus is Greenville 20 years ago. It’s a dying town with no tax base and terrible public schools. If CAFB leaves the town will fall apart. The area around MUW is terrible. It’s a shame they’ve let that part of town become so bad.
That is something that is truly sad. I don't know of a single MLK street, road, or boulevard that is in a "nice" part of a town.
Not to mention the steel tubing plant, aluminum mill and biocarbon plant all locating on the SDI campus and bringing over a thousand good to great paying jobs with them. Not many places in the southeast where a person can earn a six figure income with a high school diploma and there are going to be four of those plants located inside of one square mile.
This generally describes Jackson, Meridian, and probably other towns in MS where those with economic choice (mostly white people in MS) move from the city to the county leaving a diminished and poorer city with a declining tax base. The only solution I can see is dissolving these cities into their counties but I don't see that happening in my lifetime, if ever. While we are at it, we ought to merge counties to form regional districts - but that is a whole other matter to discuss.
1 person shot 4 people. If you want to subcategorize things so they somehow dont look as bad to you, or so you can make some sort of hollow argument, have at it. Die on that hill, I guess.
Do we though?
People post their views and others comment in response.
Not the same. No Antifa riots happening in a small town in the Deep South. They wouldn't make it all the down my quiet neighborhood street.
Yeah. I attempted a joke.
I wouldn't call him a troll and longer. He's not nearly as persistent as some others but he is still reliable for a formal essay in support of his opinion. He seems to be not as busy making a rebuttal for every post.
