Way back in December 1996, some local boys convinced the City of Jackson and the Jackson Chamber of Commerce into funding the start of the Jackson Web project. The idea was that Jackson, Missouri, was community-oriented enough to support a presence on the Internet. Now, 14 years later, the Jackson Web still provides free web presence to local schools, churches, and non-profit organizations. Local business support makes it possible.
The Jackson Web main page lists the current supporters. December is the major renewal time for supporters, and many renewals have already been received. Please let our local businesses know how much you appreciate their participation in the Jackson Web project.
If you know of a local business that should be part of the Jackson Web project, please leave a comment to tell us. Thanks for visiting the Jackson Web.

The Holiday Tree
It is a community loss from which we all suffer since the red-lighted evergreen at the corner of PP and West Jackson Blvd.
Personally, I loved it most on Valentine's Day.
Please share your memories of the red-lighted holiday tree.

Scouting
Our area Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are active with their fundraisers right now. The Boy Scouts are delivering popcorn, and the food drive is evident with white bags hanging on front doors. The Girl Scouts are taking orders for magazines and snacks.
Thank you for your support of these programs.
Please come out and enjoy the Festival of Lights. It is scheduled for Saturday, December 4, and will be held at the County Courthouse in uptown Jackson.

Christmas House Tours
The holiday season is fast approaching. I've seen some signs around town for home tours. I've never participated.

Scenic Route
When going from Jackson to the west side of Cape, I often take County Road 318 to get from Highway 25 South to Route K.
Right now, the fall colors on display are a great distraction from the daily stress and a pleasant alternative to the busy main roads.
What is your favorite route on the country roads?

General Election 2010
It is the day after, and I am wondering what you think!
Were you particularly excited about any of the results? Particularly upset?
Personally, I was very glad to see that over 50% of the registered voters turned out to cast their ballot. Thank you, dedicated patriots of Cape Girardeau County!

Looks Easy, but it's not
I thought this blog thing would be easier that it is. I guess if I just wasn't so dog-gone busy, it could be.
I am going to try a new tactic. I was really hoping for community participation through the comment section, and that hasn't materialized. Maybe I just need to be more direct. Let's try this:
What do you think of the new intersection in front of South Elementary?
