Pausing and Refreshing in Downtown Jackson
Last month, the City of Jackson awarded a contract to Michigan Valley Homes of Brooklyn for the construction of a public restroom facility in the Northeast corner of Bucky Harris Park in downtown Jackson. Above drawing from bid specifications. Today, JTV welcomes Brad Flory, longtime local columnist, husband and father who has a Detroit Lions tattoo and frequent attacks of confusion.
