SUMMARY: Businesses are feeling the negative impacts of the River Avenue Bridge closure on both sides of the Leaf River, particularly Cochran’s Muffler and Auto. The barricade blocking traffic from both sides was causing customers to think the business was closed. After speaking with the Forest County Board of Supervisors, the business owner was given permission to move the barricade into one lane and put up a sign to inform customers. However, the barricade was moved back every morning, shutting down both lanes again. After reaching out to contractors, the issue was resolved. The completion date for the bridge is two months, but weather may cause delays. Cochran hopes her business will survive.

SUMMARY: A new Mississippi Freedom Trail marker was unveiled in honor of Victoria Jackson Gray Adams, a prominent civil rights figure. The ceremony took place in Palmer’s Crossing, Hattiesburg, and was attended by local leaders, family, and friends. Adams was a key figure in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and the first African-American woman from the state to run for U.S. Senate.

Adams passed away in 2006.
