The economy can't be that bad.
Every time I go to a restaurant and have to wait seemingly longer and longer to get seated, I can't help but think that the economy can't be in that bad of shape in Jackson. Although, to be fair, people in Jackson probably put a higher priority on eating out than in many other places.
I'm still excited about the "Jacktown Connect" meeting we had last night. BTW, that is the official name now. Even if it turns out there aren't that many young professionals in Jackson, it will be nice to know however many we DO have.
I am taking a more positive outlook on our community's lack of "coolness". Maybe cool things aren't happening in Jackson because the people that can make it happen aren't connecting with those who have the ideas and energy to make a change, and I think the Jacktown Connect can go a long way to remedy that.
If anybody reading this wants to find out more information, or wants to help out, let me know!
