Jackson Jambalaya

Good Lord, you sound as whiny as my three-year-old. When I get my RSS feed up and running (which will be soon), you'll be the first to know.

Seriously thanks. I'll let you know when it's a go.

KF, thank you for adding the feed. Planning to add a few feeds to TRN shortly and JJ will be at the top of the list.

Merry Christmas.

So I guess I'm chopped liver, but I am no where as funny as Marshall.

Lulz.

JJ, the blog of Kiss Asses.

Used to be, in the old days, it had to be earned. Then again, in the old days, this blog used to be lots of good things that it ain't now.

100% comment moderation. The old JJ stood resolute and proud about the opposite.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Hey arse hoolio...

If you knew why the moderation was going on you would not be saying what you are saying.

But, it does take all of these approved comments to come through to realize, there is no moderation beyond one particular situation.

Test it.

Been hanging around the Rez area since 1972. Seriously, I had to go into Jackson to buy groceries and get gas for my car back then. We've come a long way since those days. I am looking forward to reading the Rez News blog. Thanks.

Me to! Thanks for this feed. Gives me another good link to my home town. Those historical photos of the clearing and building of the thing are too cool. I remember it all, river bend, pelahatchie bay, lake view marina, main harbor, tubbys tavern! Mona lee biddy.......now if anyone remembers that sad day, chime in!

I remember Mona Lee Biddy and have often wondered what became of the stepmother.

I miss Tubby's! The Dock was never as cool as Tubby's Tavern.

Who was Mona Lee Biddy? What is the story? Some of us haven't been around that long.

just checking in from NYC where it's pretty damn cold this week :-(

PS for those arguing about a new arena in Jackson - I'm staying near the Garden. Friday it was the Knicks vs Miami Heat (sold out), last night was Prince (sold out), tonight was Rush (sold out, I think), etc - 20 - 23K per show paying top dollar. I don't know if Jackson could ever attract big-time entertainment even if they did have a first rate facility but several of us will continue to trek up here for entertainment - a few of us from the Jackson burbs met for munch yesterday and today before hitting Broadway shows, the ballet, and Eli M and the Giants (tomorrow). I think the first step is a decent venue, but no one will sink money into that if they don't think there's enough people willing to spend enough money on a regular basis for first rate entertainment (i.e., not a tractor pull). Did the Hornets get sold yet to the NBA to cover their poor attendance this year? It was being threatened two weeks ago.

RIP little Mona Lee Bitty Notice the lawyers on this case.

"Early on the morning of December 3, 1970, petitioner called the Jackson Police Department to report the disappearance of Mona Biddy, her six-year old, mentally retarded stepdaughter. An extensive search for the child was conducted by the police, which eventually involved various other law enforcement officers of surrounding counties, three or four hundred National Guardsmen, and many volunteer civilians. On December 8, five days after her reported disappearance, Mona's body was found on the water's edge at a reservoir, about thirteen miles from the Biddy residence."

Wish someone would do a followup on what happened to the step-mother.
