Going down the drain
Just like my home in Jackson of 28 years. Due to poor and crumbling infastructure/maintenance, my family lost almost everything we owned due to a City sewer
backup that left my home floating in ankle deep sewer water and feces. Not to mention all of our belongings in reach were soaked in this crap as well as the damage to our home. The City of Jackson denied all responsibilty. 2yrs from being debt free I almost had to pay someone to take this crap hole off my hands, with no equity coming back to me. Jackson broke my family physically and in my pocket book. This loss we will never fully recover from.
After living my entire life in Jackson (50yrs) I ran as fast as I could from Jackson over to Rankin County, a place I said I'd never live. After settling here, I wish I had left Jackson 20yrs ago...maybe I wouldn't be broke now.
Run,run,run and don't look back...the Jackson of 20yrs ago is gone and will never be the same again.
