Puts this other hurly-burly in a different perspective. Not that it isn't still very interesting, as Seinfeld might say. (For you heathens on this board, today is Ash Wednesday.)

Former Mayor Johnson's police chief attributed it to a matter of exagerated "perceptions." So far, no perceptions have been apprehended or indicted.

All is well in Jackson, the Bold New City (a risable marketing handle from the late 1980s, I believe). I much preferred the city when it was Shy and Old. I've been wondering what Chuck McRae is making of all this lately, and what advice he might be offering the Langstons. I know it's been mentioned here before, but just as quick reiteration for those not in the know, McRae's daughter Rebecca is married to Shane Langston, Joey's brother. Ahoy, lotus!

It is used locally with heavy irony. The more common reference is to "Jacktown," as in local conservative black radio host Kim Wade's regular advice to his listeners to "stay strapped down (i.e., armed) in Jacktown."
