city explorations
One can turn living in the Capital city into a more rural, isolated, reflective,
healthy, less automoticized experience by finding those hidden corridors most
folks have never thought to seek out though they have been under their noses
twice a day for years.
the levee holding back the pearl river on the east side (rankin county) could be
a great bike path for the people of jackson (it can be accessed from the east side
of the highway 80 bridge). it runs under several interstate, highway, and railroad
bridges but also includes remote and wooded sections.
i m sure it will not become used as a bike path because there is no demand for recreational amenities here nor is there the desire to deal with whatever legal complications might arise.
it will only exist for a few who ignore "no trespassing" signs because, after all, why should a metal sign have authority over a human.

rural and isolated, yes, but you've got to watch out for those establishments that mistake greasy blobs of cheese as the next health food...

yesterday i discovered that there is a public park (mayes lake) where you can hike down to the river. i wonder why after 27 years of on and off living here, i just discovered this.
i have also learned that in the capital city, when faced with the option of drive of walk, most people pick drive. even when the time spent is greater. i usually pick walk.
