It's surreal to be in the south during this time in history. The hot, humid muggy Mississippi weather today was interrupted momentarily by a ferocious thunderstorm that flashed and rumbled over the Capital City, dumping buckets of warm rain in its hurry to race through the region. But neither a torrential downpour nor the loud rolls of thunder could drown out the buzz of excitement that permeates this place at this moment in time. There's a real sense that something historic is about to happen in Jackson, Mississippi that will have a positive impact on the economic course of this city, and perhaps the entire state, into the foreseeable future.
