Cars are on the side of me and in front of me there was no way to leave. I locked the doors and called the nonemergency, police policeman in a car was around the backside of Kroger.

The not Emergency Police woman on the phone talk to me while this was happening. The black truck turns its engine back on when it saw the police behind them and the police followed the truck outside the parking lot, I wanted to think the police woman that helped me and the policeman in their car. It was perfect timing! I really appreciate them thank you.

He kept trying to look inside of cars as they whizzed by. I thought for sure someone was going to hit him before I could get him to jump inside my car, and he eventually did. I took him to the Madison, Mississippi shelter first; she quickly shooed me away. Next, I drove to the Ridgeland Madison Police Department. I tell you, they quickly open their arms for him. They played with him, letting him run around the lobby; the girl behind the desk became attached to him quickly. Oh, how this furbaby enjoyed the attention he was getting. I knew he was in good hands before I left. But boy, I wanted to take him home. They did call their local shelter and the guy came in minutes. He was quickly fallen in love with him, too. He was scanned, no chip. But I tell you, he was so loved at the police department that one of them will surely adopt him after the 8-day hold.

This pair of mounds are found in Jackson, MS. One, Mound A, is located at a rest area and is…read moreaccessible to the public. There is also an education center there. The other, Mound B, is on private land and is not accessible. Both mounds are on the National Register of Historic Places. The site dates back to 750 and 1600. Mounds of this type were constructed to basically serve one of two purposes, a platform and a burial area. Mound A, is about 22 feet high and 175 feet wide. Mound B, is 10 feet high and 75 feet wide. After the discovery/excavation of the remains of a structure and associated features on top of the mound, as well as numerous artifacts, it was determined that Mound A was more of a platform mound, while mound B was a primarily a burial mound. Both mounds were much larger, but have suffered from erosion over the years. As I mentioned, Mound A is located at a rest area (opened in 2008), both of which are maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. That area is also known as Pocahontas Mounds Roadside Park.The area has security, restrooms, a nice air-conditioned interpretive center that explains a little about the mounds and picnic tables and benches in a patio area behind the bench. There is a nice paved path that leads to a viewing area, but you cannot get close to the mound. The grounds are nice and full of shade trees. I do not think people ae allowed on the green space though and are limited to the patio area and paved paths. Being located at a rest area, parking here is not an issue and is welcomed. There are ample spots available to park and it has easy access. Before my visit here, I had no idea what mounds were. Being a bit of a history buff, I found this site very interesting and learned a lot. The site (Mound A), is very well maintained and nice to visit, even if it is just to take a load off. If you are driving past, it is defiantly worth a stop. I came across this gem on my way to the petrified forest from downtown Jackson.

There's a walking trail that's perfect if you've been traveling for a while and need to stretch your legs. At most, I've only seen 3 - 4 people walking the trail, so it's great for folks who appreciate a bit of privacy. Next door is a decent rest area, so this is a perfect place to stop in my opinion.

This memorial is dedicated to the slain civil rights leader that was a Jackson native. It consists…read moreprimarily of a life-size bronze sculpture of the civil rights leader and some benches. It is the work of Thomas Jay Warren and was dedicated in 1991. It was installed fittingly, on Medgar Evers Avenue, behind the Medgar Evers Library, just around the corner from the Medgar Evers home. Sadly, the memorial is severely neglected. The benches are falling apart. The landscaping is not maintained, the lights that were supposed to be on the statue were broke or aimed away from the statue. The statue itself is starting to show signs of wear and needs a good facelift and cleaning. The border around the statue is the old-school thin tin border. They would probably be better off removing it, if not upgrading it to some more modern curbing. It looks like it has not been touched since its dedication in '91. Parking here is very easy. Just pull into the library parking lot and there you are. It puts you right at the memorial. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, I was there less than 10 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

When visiting MS, I'm constantly on the search for places with free WiFi so I can go sit with my MacBook for a few hours. This is one of my favourite places to do just that. They have lots of tables and chairs set up, so there's never a problem finding a cozy place to plop down for a while. This library is fairly new and it's a really gorgeous building, both inside and out. Everything is so well organized and it's kept spotless. Of course you'll find books here (duh, it's a library), but they also have tons of CDs, DVDs, and video games (for the Playstation, XBox, and DS) that you can check out. Thanks to the great people of the Rankin County Library System, they let me use my parents' address to get a library card. This allows me to check things out (I like to listen to the CDs on my laptop sometimes while I'm here and I need a library card to get the CDs) and it also allows me to use one of their many computers and the internet if I happen to not feel like bring my Mac with me. The entire staff are very friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for. LOVE this library! I so wish we had one like it in Jacksonville!
