Jackson Jambalaya

Wooo Hooo! Maybe housing in Jackson will increase due to the influx of Northerners who think Jackson is just "swell-o-ricious". In other words, as the flight accelerates out of Jackson there are plenty of suckers born every minute. Thanks NYT!

um, from what I know about the New York Times and it's "readers' we would be much better off if they just skipped right past us and devoted their ink to slobbering all over their screwball mayor!

"A stroll through the rolling hills of the historic Belhaven neighborhood is the perfect introduction to Jackson’s laid-back mood."

I didn't catch the date on the article. Is this another historic piece from 1938?

It's waaay better article than JFP did on Lamoomba "reaching out" to all Jacksonians to unite them.... maybe the people moving here will replace the "people that were going to leave Jackson before the election" will be the ones who leave now. That genius statement was from the mouth of the newly exalted mayor...

LOL @ 12:51, that's another good one.

Awesome article. Can't believe they weren't scared off like our Madison critics were. Wonder if the NYT will do a story on the strip centers in the suburbs and all those chain restaurants?

"A stroll through the rolling hills of the historic Belhaven neighborhood is the perfect introduction to Jackson’s laid-back mood."

Good thing the writer was able to stroll and not run for her life, like most Jacksonians!

Did she wear blinders with those inch thick glasses?

NY Times has a few readers in this town so they get a story every couple years to boost us. The Sulzbergers will understand the root of the Hebrew for 'shining' is the same for 'boasting'. We might get some out-of-town folk before it really gets hot.

I wish they would just continue to think that we are running around barefoot and illiterate. Fact is, most New Yorkers are pretentious and ostentatious a@&holes and there is no place for them here. We should keep our little secret to ourselves to build and enjoy it as WE wish.

Some people just can't be happy.

Really grateful for the travel piece from the Great Harlot. When are the NYC backers of Full Spectrum gonna come back to town and really make good on all their promises?

I am very happy leaving things just the way they are ...thank you 8:03

Are you f'n kidding 10:41? A New Yorker make good on his promise. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Lets build a parking garage first.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

Full Spectrum supposedly wants to buy the Edison Walthall out of receivership. Full Spectrum's problem is that the deal will take real money.

OF WHICH THEY HAVE NONE!

Wow. You would think people would just say, "that's a really nice article about Jackson in the NYT" instead of trashing it.

Just being realistic and having a little fun. Sorry that the thought of having some Yankees visit gave you a stiffie.

Good grief!
Many of those living in New York are from...oh wait...some are from Mississippi!
We are a state of mostly natives but that's because we've scared off people. Other states have attracted people from some place else.
And, people stroll in Belhaven.
Don't y'all ever get out of the house?

only thing in it objectionable is the farish st. crock... i drove down it recently and can only guess each one of those bricks cost $50k...

8:46 You can thank your Memphis based minority so-called contractor who abused the system for that. It's all too common that this is the way they now make their living.
