Inspired by The Clarion-Ledger's owners' bizarre and Orwellian attempt to redefine "local business," we've decided to launch a LocalList contest on Jackpedia.com. Just head to this Jackpedia 'Local Jackson' page and post a list of local stuff you love about Jackson. That's it! Do it by 5 p.m. Friday, and we'll put you in a drawing for a Tye's $100 gift card (try the red sauce while you're there; it's divine!). Click here to see my list-in-progress to see how easy it is.

We will also draw for $25 gift cards to Sal & Mookie's/Bravo/Broad Street and to Hal & Mal's. We'll give a $25 gift card to the person who posted the best "local name." (Mine is SassyLocal.)

In addition, the best lists will be reprinted in next week's print edition of Jackson: The User-Generated Guide to Cool Jackson. Thanks for supporting real-local businesses in and around Jackson!
