Jackson has no room for vacant inn; just level it!
The old La Quinta Inn in south Jackson is casting a pall, and folks are tired of looking at the eyesore, and even more fearful of the illegal activity it attracts. Its highly visible location blemishes Jackson, misrepresenting to motorists the city’s Best of the New South moniker.
