I purchased my Chevrolet Aveo from CarMax in this city. It is the bed one around. The customer service representative, Erica, was so nice and helpful. I would recommend this city, car dealership, and my CSR, Erica for a car purchase in Jackson, MS. I am serious. It was a great experience!
Favorite Driving Memory
My favorite memory from driving in Jackson, has to be when I saw my old teacher in traffic. It was around Christmas time last year to be exact. So we're on I-55 driving a little bit under the speed limit due to the rain. I heard a loud, long horn. It was so loud I thought it was the 18 wheeler in fr

ont of me. She blew the horn long again, startling me yet again. This time, I swerved and slowed down. I looked in my rear view mirror, and to my surprise, I saw Ms. Mitzi Southward. She was my Algebra I teacher in high school. I had not seen her in years. I was extremely excited and surprised at the same time. How did she know it was me. My car is a neon, bright, red, with black and silver rims. I understand that my car is noticeable but I definitely did not have it in high school. So how did she know it was me? We exchanged waves, and flagged each other down. We both pulled over on the side of the highway and talked for 30 mins. That was the shortest 30 mins ever. I did not realize how time flew because we had so many memories to encounter. We had so many stories to catch up on. Before we departed, we exchanged numbers and now we talk regularly.

I-55 is the hwy that takes me from here in Cleveland, MS all the way to Jackson, MS. I am comfortable on this interstate because I am familiar with it and it is hardly ever crowded. I also love County Line Rd. I use this road to get to my best friend's house and all the major malls. There is a long

strip of shopping centers that I visit in the Diamond Shopping Center. My main purpose of County Line Rd. though, is to avoid all the streets on my commute to North Park Mall in Ridgeland, MS.

This is a city that doesn´t have a great deal of traffic and it isn´t hard to find a place to park. Also, places are relatively nearby so that one doesn't have to go very far to get the essentials done.

Favorite Driving Memory
My favorite memory of driving in Jackson was my first time driving there. I was paging for a senator. I was super nervous and the traffic made me feel extremely nervous. I thought I was going to get hit a couple of times.
Favorite Road
Capitol Street

The reason I like Capitol Street is because it was the first place I drove to and it some really pretty architecture close by. Millsaps College is very close and the capitol building is beautiful to look at.
