A carton of eggs from the supermarket never smells like a sunny morning, but a stop at a busy little market in Mississippi changed how I think about breakfast. I wandered in expecting a few tomato stands and left with honey, peaches, warm bread, and a head full of farmer stories.

This Mississippi Bookstore Started In An Apartment And Became A Literary Landmark

A bookstore that began in an apartment now draws readers from hundreds of miles away. I love that story. It proves a big idea can start in a very small space. This Mississippi shop sits upstairs in a building with a restaurant below. Shelves climb toward the ceiling, and small reading corners are tucked all around.

Belle Terre residents to weigh in on new Kroger store in Gluckstadt

Belle Terre community members are about to decide the future of a proposed 87,000-square-foot supermarket in Gluckstadt . National grocery chain Kroger is looking to build a new store at Bozeman Road but will need the approval of Belle Terre residents, who own the right to block large business spaces in the area. According to Gluckstadt Planning and Zoning Commissioner Caine Dearman, there is a restrictive covenant due to a previous lawsuit on the proposed 39-acre lot at the southwest corner of Bozeman Road and Gluckstadt Road. In 2014, the Mississippi Couty of Appeals overturned Madison County’s decision to rezone the parcel in a dispute with residents, leading to developers reaching a concession with homeowners. That covenant restricts the type of buildings that can go on the property, capping large businesses at 30,000 square feet without the approval of residents in Belle Terre. Homeowners can grant a waiver, but developers would need at least 55% approval of the Belle Terre residents in the subdivision on the southeast side of the intersection. Efforts to contact Gluckstadt Mayor Walter Morrison and property owner Ginger Edwards proved unsuccessful, but Dearman said the proposal hasn’t officially been brought in front of the city. The

Former Jackson Councilman Aaron Banks sentenced in Jackson bribery case

Former Jackson City Councilman Aaron Banks is the latest city official to learn his punishment in a federal bribery scheme that brought down a mayor, district attorney and other Jackson officials. Banks was sentenced Thursday, Nov. 5, to 45 months in federal prison for his role in the scheme , which also involved former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and former Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens. Owens was sentenced earlier Thursday, just hours before Banks. Additionally, Banks has to pay a fine of $15,000. He is to report to prison on Jan. 4, 2027, with U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III recommending he be jailed at Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City. The scheme centered on undercover FBI agents posing as developers who wanted to build a convention center hotel in downtown Jackson. Before learning his punishment, Banks stood before Jordan and apologized for his actions, acknowledging that he had betrayed the trust of the people who elected him. "I had choices, and I made wrong ones," Banks told the judge. "For that, I am deeply sorry. I am sorry to the citizens who placed their confidence in me. I am sorry to my family, who have had to
