Also happening is a new opening in Gulfport. A Uniques Alternative called, "Vintage Station" is a wine bar on Courthouse Road in Gulfport, MS.

Reports the Sun Herald:

This is a place where people can sit and enjoy their wine and conversation. This is a place to Wind down, not wind up, say Don Halle one of the co-owners.

Jazz or standards plays in the background of the softly lit club, and the space is subtly divided into seating areas designed for conversation, like a living room or a lobby. A traditional bar area is also part of the decor, and one section can be closed off for gatherings or meetings...

"We also have a full-service bar, but our focus is on wine," Joyner(the other co-owner) said. "We have the higher end scotches and a few designer beers, but we're trying to be unique."

The wine list is 4 pages long.

Hellow All!

I am writing to say that I am back on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I started in real estate here in 1998. Worked for a New Home builder, and also Prudential and Century 21. Then I started my own company called Gulf Coast Realty in February of 2001. Grew the company over the next few years and then sold it in June of 2007 to move to San Diego, Ca.

In San Diego I did real estate for 2 years, but while writing up numerous offers, a great many never made it to closing because of lack of response on short sales by the banks.

California is a wonderful place. It has mountains, deserts, the Ocean, and alot of great qualities. But...there is no subsitute for the network of friends that I have in Mississippi. I am glad to be back, and yes, I have joined my old company, Gulf Coast Realty.

I look forward to helping all my old friends with their real estate needs, and in meeting new friends.

If you are looking for help in real estate give me a call, or email me at CallGman@yahoo.com

Realtors® Mary & Bill Watkins ~ Jackson Mississippi Real Estate

Jackson, Mississippi has been waiting for more universities to come to the area and now any adult wanting to further their education will soon have two more universities to choose from.

Recently, a Strayer University campus and a Tulane University satellite campus have been approved by the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation to come to the areas of Jackson and Madison. The Strayer University campus will be located in Jackson while the Tulane University campus will be located in Madison. Both universities are approved for 2010.

Each university will cater to adult learners constructing their classes primarily around evenings and weekends.

The commission will now have to determine whether or not Strayer and Tulane are likely to have an adverse affect on the current market. This adverse effect stems from their focus on non-traditional students.More Universities Coming to Metro Jackson

So far, the commission has given the universities one year of provisional authorization. They will then re-evaluate all their programs and decide whether they will grant them full state approval or not.

Metro Jackson, Mississippi currently has several schools of higher education, including Jackson State University, University of Mississippi School of Medicine, Mississippi College, Mississippi College School of Law, Health Sciences and Dental School, Millsaps College and Belhaven College.

And for students who are not quite old enough for the universities yet, there is the Jackson public school system which is operated by the Jackson Public School District and the Hinds County School District. These two districts combined operate nine high schools, 11 middle schools and 40 elementary schools. There is also a school for the blind, a school for the deaf, a Capital City Alternative School, a Career Academic Placement Program and a Youth Court School.

When in need of an alternative to public schooling, there is a great private school system with over 35 private programs for those thinking outside the box.

Jackson, Mississippi can be a wonderful place to further your education from beginning to end.
