Jackson Links

 

There is much going on in the city of Jackson; some really great things are already here and even more are on the way.  Below are links for Art and Entertainment, Community, Government, Merchants and Schools.  Some of the sites I used while trying to find out more about Jackson.  Some I discovered after moving here so I hope any of you who are looking find this helpful.  This listing is long so please scroll down to see everything!


Jackson Trippers, Inc.

If you don't know anyone, if you don't like to travel alone, if you want to travel but can't afford the gas, if you are looking for something fun to do, if you want to help the environment by bus-pooling, this is the place to look.  Jackson is very lucky indeed to have the Jackson Trippers in the 'hood.  There is something for everyone.
