Jackson Jambalaya

Chalking up matters at Lost Rabbit as merely 'problems' is an understatement of major proportions. The air is still deflating out of the bubble. The spasms of contraction have only begun. Not just at the Rez but everywhere.

really- what's up? have a couple friends with "lots" and I believe that still plan to build- is this bad?

nah, if they bought their lots, they should be fine.

I have done several foreclosures in Lost Rabbit (LOTS) owned by builders and it is true the development is in trouble.....so is Arbor Landing on the Rankin County side which tried to mirror the $200/SF market of Lost Rabbit. Bankers are staying clear of loans in thoes developments

I don't see where any development has taken place, with the exception of them tearing down Rapids. Both Lost Rabbit and Arbor Landing are stopped. No new building. A couple of very wealthy folks that already had the money tied up are finishing, but beyond that; its stopped. The only improvement I've seen recently is the Paradise Cove and its, well, ok; not a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination. Oh wait, there is that spaceship looking thing that is pumping CO2, I heard they are making a lot of money.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the Mandalay development about? I'm not familiar with it.

Thanks

THUD!!!!!!

And to think, they tore down the Dock for nothing?

By far the most fun place to hangout in Jackson in it's day.

The development at the Ross Barnett is going nowhere until we have a new developer. The current developer is a dreamer with no money and no backers!

Rebuild the Dock!

And to think, they tore down the Dock for nothing?

no....i believe mr. buddy & dewitt got something out of it.

I feel for the poor souls who actually put money down on those condos or believed what that con artist was spewing.

We can always dream that THE DOCK WILL RISE AGAIN!

In the meantime, if you are looking for very good food, simple menu, beer on tap that is worth drinking, try Bonny Blairs. Do it during the daytime b/c otherwise you run into the barfly crowd. The food is a favorite and the beers are fine. Unfortunately their success as a bar will probably be their demise as a pub.

OK you have my attention. Where is Bonny Blair's. Burgers on a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best)? I will try it. Where is it?

Its over in the strip mall behind Soulshine on Old Fannin Road. While I have not had the burger, I would recommend the Cheese Steak and the cheese sticks. Out of this world. 10. I would tell them to go light on the green peppers on the steak though. As to the burger, I've heard great feedback.

Also, an update from my earlier post on Mugshots weeks back...do not eat at the one at Lakeland and Airport Rd. Food was mediocre, service boring, atmosphere none. Sad, they should have stayed where they were. From what they said the Flowood ordinance will not allow them to spruce up the place and as such it looks no different than Corky's. They sounded like they felt they got handed a bill of goods.

9:32 - Maybe that location is just haunted. The Chimneyville that was in there previously was way worse than the one downtown.

... they said the Flowood ordinance will not allow them to spruce up the place ...

They obviously have not properly hooked up with Flowood's SuperMayor.

Hate that Mugshots has gotten a bad wrap in the Jackson area...the one is Hattiesburg (the original) is phenomenal, both as a restaurant and as a night-life spot!

Revisit on earlier comments I made about Mugshots; I am a fan. Original fan in Hattiesburg. Spent many a lunch with Sparky there, he introduced me to a great family and I still to this day appreciate the food, family and friends from the original Mugshots.

Mugshots was great in Jackson. I wish they had never moved.

Had the Patty Melt at Bonny Blairs. Very good. Fries were OK. All in all though, the burgers are good!

My husband just loves Mugshots and I just cringe when we go there. I'm not a fan and for the life of me I don't know why he is. He's usually the burger snob.

Luckily the last two times we've tried to eat there, there's been a 30-45 minute wait (oh hell no). It would seem in spite of everything it's doing plenty of business.

We'll definitely check out Bonnie Blair's.

Tried Five Guys last week for first time. Was really good. Place was packed but service was fast.
