One Yazoo City resident is ready for the city to annex the Shady Lane area in an effort to curtail crime.
Sir Johnathan White appeared before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen during its open meeting Monday to talk about annexation and the Shady Lane area.
White, who lives in another neighborhood, said he is concerned about the area because of the young people exposed to crime and other harmful elements. He said his own nephew witnessed a gun being pulled on someone during an argument. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
