Review of Madison, MS

I moved to madison a little over a year ago. Nice enough place. Too many people crammed into too small an area. Idiot drivers everywhere who will cut you off, run you over, and dont like turn signals. I only drive a few miles to work everyday and usually have at least one person in my lane or pulling out in front of me etc. Roads are absolutely horrendous. The worst potholes and surfaces with humps and bumps that can make your car go airborne even when doing the speedlimit. The town makes everything built be covered in bricks and no billboards or signs. Hard to find things at first. I like that they keep the property values up and keep undesireable things like trailer parks and strip clubs out. Need to fix the roads to match the buildings. The person that said there is about 19 students to each teacher is crazy. Some locals are pretty snobby and think they are better than you because of it. Mayor is the dictator of all that is Madison ( Mary Hawkins Butler I believe is her name) I am told that she must approve the wallpaper in a business if it wants to be in Madison. Crime is not bad especially being so close to the very crime laden Jackson. It some times spills over to here. Crime can be bad on the other side in Canton as well. Most people are either born here or got transplanted for work. I dont think anyone will pick this place out of a map as a great place to move to. It is great for the area but not a place to pick because it rates well in polling of cities. There are a lot of nice people in spite of the few snobs. Pretty area. Decent amount of things to do.
