Since Dowager Soybean Empress, up in the Delta, went to the Wal-Mart and got her "deluxe fractal antenna" (after watching a YouTube vid about Fractals), she's picking up the Jackson stations. The other day, she saw this: Belhaven sinkhole appears to be growing | Jackson News - WAPT Home

Sometimes, the sinkholes catch cars: Car falls into sinkhole on Jackson city street - WLOX.com - The News for South Mississippi

Sometimes, they swallow-up little boys: Residents say Northtown Rd. sinkhole is bigger - MSNewsNow.com - Jackson, MS

Here, the erupting sinkhole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ow7E3L4ZS8 is actually only the SECOND most horrific thing in evidence. There has also, apparently, been a mass Crape Murder! ( Stop the Crape Murder | Archives | Aggie Horticulture and Stop! Don't Chop Crepe Myrtles! | Southern Living)

And then, there are the plain-ol' POTHOLES: More rain means more potholes | Jackson News - WAPT Home

Jackson even had, at one point, a Pothole Robin Hood: 'Robin Hood' reaches goal, fills 100 potholes | Jackson News - WAPT Home

Apparently, though, Pothole Vigilantism won't be tolerated.

Wow .. I mean you're pulling articles that 3-4 years old with the exception of the first one. I mean you have no idea that this is a metro wide problem! I mean Ridgeland had several bad ones that continued to grow until they FINALLY came out and filled them at Sunnybrook and Ridgeland Ave in front of Holmes CC. Potholes occur everywhere, so quit singling out Jackson when you don't even live here.

I don't know about the other stories, but the one in Belhaven really is a sink hole not just a pot hole.

Well at least here's some progress... From a news article from TODAY:

Will your pothole get fixed today? - MSNewsNow.com - Jackson, MS

The city did do a little resurfacing of the right southbound lane of State Street between Northside and Triangle Drive. Not enough, but a lot better than what it was.

FWIW, Yazoo Clay is underneath a lot of Jackson. It is notoriously unstable and has no racial preferences.
