Welcome to Wayalife from the Central Valley.
Here’s a little something for you as we’re from very similar cities. Yours is the fastest shrinking in the nation, where I hail from is the fastest shrinking in Arkansas. Both are number one in violent crime in the state. Both had economies built on river and railroad traffic. Both economies heavily influenced by King Cotton. Hell we even had a radio station with the call letters KOTN!
I remember going to Jackson with my mom who was an AKC professional handler and veterinarian. Lots of dog shows down in the Mid-South.
Anyways, welcome:
