In the JFP’s continuing quest to honor local Jackson-area businesses, we are publishing the 2009 Jackpedia next week — a guide to the coolest and most local businesses, artists, people, professionals, lawyers, doctors, services, musicians, you name it! And we need your help to know what we need to tell newcovers, college students and each other about. So, head to Jackpedia.com and post your favorite info about Jackson (and, yes, yourself; promote away!) on Jackson’s local wiki encyclopedia. Note the questions on the front page that are there specially for this issue.

In particular, I want to urge you all to tell us What is Jackson’s best bargain? People *need* this information in these tough economic times.

(And if you refuse to post it there, go ahead and post it below here in the comments.)

Thanks, Jackson, for all your help publishing the best Jackpedia, yet!
