A Bulldog in a Skirt
When she was at the top of her game, rapper Eve called dibs on the title “Pitbull in a Skirt.” Now Jackson’s own Ashley Lewis can lay claim to the top “Bulldog in a Skirt,” only she’s serving up drinks instead of rhymes. Voted Sexiest Bartender in 2015 Best of Jackson contest, Lewis has been ferociously mixing up drinks that have kept customers coming back to The Bulldog (6111 Ridgewood Road) for the past three years.

The Mississippi-Nashville music connection
This marker is located at 1111 16th Ave. S., Nashville
The list of Mississippi musicians and songwriters who have made their way to Nashville over the years would almost stretch the length of the Natchez Trace. The Mississippi Country Music Trail recognized that legacy on June 4, 2015 by unveiling the Mississippi to Nashville marker on Music Row. It was a treat to attend the event acknowledging a path I am proud to have taken in 1987 when I followed the footsteps of fellow Mississippians who moved to Music City to pick, sing and write.

Jackson Zoo Gets New Artwork & Signs
On Thursday, June 11th, the traffic signal box that is located on the corner of Capitol St. and Parkside Dr. was unveiled to the community. Over the past two weeks, the art work was completed by Brittany Calhoun. Ms. Calhoun is a native Jacksonian, attended Power APAC and graduated from Murrah High School. She chose JSU because of their art department. She is currently a Junior at JSU majoring in Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting.
The traffic signal box was painted with a zoo theme that includes a tiger, giraffe, zebra, and a parrot. The artwork really brightens up the corner of the Jackson Zoo and is breathing life into the Capitol Street Corridor. In addition to the new painting, the Jackson Zoo has also had new directional signs put up around the city. Below is a picture of just one the new signs.
This project was spearheaded…

Ain’t Nothin’ But The Birthplace Of The Blues
The South is the birthplace of the blues, and Public Broadcasting Station’s “Blues Road Trip” describes the Mississippi Delta as the genre’s emotional heart. So, inherently, a certain amount of pressure goes along with producing a musical revue about the blues in the Magnolia State. Nevertheless, New Stage Theatre tackles that tough number with “It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues.” Continue reading Ain’t Nothin’ But The Birthplace Of The Blues
