Thanks for visiting the official Hackie web site.
Hope it's fun so far.

"Hackie" is an old-fashioned word for taxi driver, and Jernigan Pontiac is an old-fashioned taxi driver. Every cabdriver has good stories, and many are capable of spinning a great tale. Jernigan picks up the pen to tell his stories.

Hackie stories appear fortnightly in Seven Days - sevendaysvt.com - the alternative newsweekly in Burlington, Vermont.
