Streetlights that are out in downtown Jackson pose a dilemma about who owns them.
Does Entergy own the streetlights, or do they belong to the city of Jackson?
“At some point in its history, the city decided to do its own streetlights,” said Dallas Quinn, director of public affairs for Downtown Jackson Partners.
“You look back and nobody (with the city) was changing the bulbs or ballasts. Entergy would fix their lights and the city didn’t.”

When it comes to meatloaf, I do not loaf around. It is one of my favorite comfort foods, and while it may still be cold outside, I do not consider it a winter-only meal.
I have been known to make a meatloaf simply to enjoy meatloaf sandwiches the next day. I can remember many summertime picnics, road trips or “farm workdays” with a cooler packed full of meatloaf sandwiches.
