Houses coming to Pierce St.

A neglected street in Yazoo City is on its way back to life thanks to an alderman.
Ward 1 Alderman Charles “Mickey” O’Reilly has been working with the Buford Foundation to construct houses on Pierce Street, adjacent to Filmore Street.
“It has never been abandoned, but it is neglected,” he said. “There were a few houses there...but they have been torn down.”

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.
