Road in Jackson renamed in honor of blues legend Bobby Rush
SUMMARY: A street in Jackson, Mississippi, has been renamed Bobby Rush Boulevard in honor of the celebrated bluesman, following an announcement last June. The boulevard now extends from Interstate 20 to West Capitol Street. Bobby Rush, a three-time Grammy winner and Blues Hall of Fame inductee, expressed his gratitude on social media, calling it one of the greatest honors of his life. Rush, known for hits like “Chicken Heads” and “Down in Mississippi,” has had a prolific career and has significantly contributed to Mississippi’s musical heritage. Street signs and maps were updated to reflect this change.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi House and Senate plan to take Friday off due to an impending winter storm forecasted to impact northern counties. Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann announced on Tuesday the intention to adjourn early Thursday to allow senators to return home ahead of the severe weather. Hosemann emphasized the need for prompt work to help legislators navigate safely before roads freeze. House Speaker Jason White echoed this plan, humorously noting the rare alignment with the Senate. The state is expected to face snow, sleet, and freezing rain, with both chambers reconvening the following week to address significant legislation, including tax reform.
