Vicksburg Ms real problem is jealously and it goes back to the 1880s. One of the reason Vicksburg hasn't grown in size but moves around to give everyone the perception of growth. Anyway the local selfish mercantile families have always gotten jealous becouse of other communties doing much better than they are. And this behavior still exists today. A lot have said that this community has blowned oppertunities. Well thier jealously is what is holding this town back. Becouse they can't be economic creative enough. A good example is Jealously is Jake Kilroy chastiizing us locals becouse he's tired of us hearing that we don't have nothing to do and at the sametime he belittles Natchez Ms where he hasn;t been there at all. Now this jealously has cost the community as a whole and the chickens have come home roost. Corporations and high end cinemas have turned down due to small size population. Now has the local chamber of commerce turned the same companies down in the past? The only perception that jealously has done created a real negative image where some here play the game of pick and choose. But when it came to businesses they chose-they chose ones that had gone bankrupt. Now money and people are moving out of here and they can't deal with it.
It's been two years and still no cinema where Mayor Laurence Leyens promised one last summer.

Moderator cut: edit
Call the mayor's action line at 601-801-3411 and gripe away about jealousy, lack of cinemas, or whatever.
