Jackson, Mississippi
The slow southern drawl that issues from the mouths of the inhabitants of Jackson, state capital of Mississippi, reflects the relaxed pace of life in this small city which spreads along the banks of the Pearl River. Downtown is landmarked by the impressive State Capitol and some good museums, but it is in the neighbourhoodsmore further afield that most of the attractions for those on holiday in Jackson can be found, including the best shops, parks and nightlife.
