We have an extended edition of Mississippi Roads this week. We bring you this special show from the Jackson Zoological Park.

Each year over two hundred thousand visitors pass through these gates as they visit this beautiful zoological park. In our first story, we take you to another popular park in a river city. Walt explores the Vicksburg Military Park.

Actor Morgan Freeman and attorney Bill Luckett have teamed up in Clarksdale to open a new up-scale dining experience called "Madidi" and also a blues club, "Ground Zero" where live music is played on a regular basis.

We follow Jackson resident and Senior Olympian Olive Kendall as she travels to Baton Rouge to compete for the gold in the 2001 Senior Olympics.

Judge Alfred G. Nicols, Jr. rules his federal courtroom with an iron fist. But when it comes to his art; the judge has a feather like touch with his paintbrushes on the canvas.

In our next story we meet Jill and Fred Lusk of Wiggins. They operate Lazy L Farms, which is an exotic animal sanctuary, that takes in abused and unwanted animals. Their farm has turned into a zoo of sorts.

Walt shares his fascination with old barns that are scattered around our Mississippi landscape, on this weeks edition of Walt's Way.
