Potentially moving to Jackson, Mississippi

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

I'm transferring for my bachelor's soon & Jackson State isn't bad, plus my uncle lives there so I'd have a support system

The Jim Crow history & the movies I watched growing up got me kinda shook, but the city had to have made some kind of progress right? You got a black socialist mayor and blacks in power

With that being said, I got some questions

1. How is the cost of living out there? (I'm only going to be at JSU for 2-3 years, but if I love the city I may stay after I graduate so I'd wanna know the prices. For perspective, the average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in Miami that's not in the hood is $1400-$1500 a month)

2. How bad is the crime? Is it avoidable? Miami has high crime but it's easy to get around if you know the city & your surroundings

3. How well are black people doing out there? Like how ATL/DC are portrayed as the cities for successful black people. Are there any middle/upper middle class black suburbs?

4. What's the entrepreneurial scene like out there, especially for black people? I may wanna get some tech-related things off the ground

5. What them country honeys like?

6. If I buy a house one day, what would be a nice spot to move to? As aforementioned, are there any middle class black suburbs?

7. What's the public transit like? How bad is traffic?

8. What is there to do if you not a strip club type nikka?

9. Where the good barbers at?

Breh nothing wrong with jackson man. Living in the rural south is what you make of it.

shyt I was born and raised in chicago and ended up going to college in Mississippi. Loved that shyt man....it was fun as hell.

We would go to N.O. and jackson damn near every weekend. Then you not far from memphis or Atlanta.

And country black folks in Mississippi stick together. Ain't no thing for folks to help you out in time of need.
