I’m thankful for the support that @SenatorWicker has shown to our @MSMainStreet communities! Main Street is leading the local economic development movement in Mississippi!

[Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker]

The @MSMainStreet includes 53 communities across our state that work every day to keep our economy running. I introduced the Revitalizing Small and Local Businesses Act with @SenAlexPadilla to provide support to local economic development.

@reneeautumnray Are you upset that they didn’t order a White Claw instead?

[Thomas Gregory @TomRoyGreg]

It is always a pleasure speaking to @medcinfo about the work we do at @MSMainStreet!

Fascinating peek behind the curtain of how momentum built to change the Mississippi state flag in barely more than a week’s time.

[Adam Ganucheau @GanucheauAdam]

Doing some processing this morning about how Mississippi lawmakers removed the state flag, the last in the nation featuring the Confederate battle emblem. It’s been a wild few days.

Here’s a thread.

[Mississippi Main Street Association @MSMainStreet]

The Mississippi Main Street Association is proud to be part of the coalition of business and economic development organizations that championed the need for a new state flag for Mississippi. Our brightest days are ahead of us, Mississippi! #msmainstreet #WeAreMainStreet

[Old Try @TheOldTry]

How can I get on the redesign commission? Asking for a self.

[Thomas Gregory @TomRoyGreg]

@bradreeves I agree (says the guy with a Mississippi Blues Trail tag on his car)

[Thomas Gregory @TomRoyGreg]

@guitarchitect82 Pee pee yellow with an off-center state seal. I’m pretty sure my cat could have done a better job designing a car tag.

[Mississippi Main Street Association @MSMainStreet]

The Mississippi Main Street Association believes that now is the time to come together as Mississippians to adopt a new state flag that we can all be proud to wave.

[Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves]

The legislature has been deadlocked for days as it considers a new state flag. The argument over the 1894 flag has become as divisive as the flag itself and it’s time to end it.
If they send me a bill this weekend, I will sign it.

[Thomas Gregory @TomRoyGreg]

Saturday, June 27, 2020. A great day to change the Mississippi state flag. Let’s do this. #TakeItDownMS #msleg

It makes me wonder what Farish Street would be like today if Jackson had put their money behind the time-tested Main Street Approach to community revitalization in 2002, instead of putting all their eggs in the entertainment district basket. 🤔

[Mississippi Today @MSTODAYnews]

For four decades, there has been promised rebirth of what was once the central business district for Jackson’s African American community — Farish Street.

In those years, almost nothing has changed. https://t.co/bpEKGtoKp3
