Abandoned truck draws attention from I-20 motorists

Submitted by MSNewsNow Web Staff on Tuesday, June 18th, 6:14 pm

RICHLAND, MS (Mississippi News Now)- There's a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck lodged on the east bank of the Pearl River, just below Interstate 20, in Rankin County. It is not clear how the truck got there, or exactly when.

The truck was reported stolen to Jackson Police in April of 2011. Richland police say it has been there since 2008.

It is in a place that is not easily accessible by vehicle, in the Pearl River swamp. This view of it from skycopter is about the only way to get video of it, but people with good eyes can see it from Interstate 20.

Amazon dianthus handles the state’s hot summers

By Gary R. Bachman

If you’re looking for a plant that is attractive now but looks its best in the cooler months, you may be interested in the Dianthus. This is a group of versatile flowering plants that look good year-round.

Dianthus is called by many names, but the common name “pink” really is a good description. Colors include pink and red, but there are also nice white and lavender selections.
