Jackson Jambalaya

I made it about a third of the way through, but now I really feel like I need another shower this morning. It's repulsive to see the joy that these people take in lying.

I am way over 70 years old and have found that most people will lie and cheat. I've watched the property owners in Greenwood Plantation fuss about COSTCO locating on Highland Colony---everyone of them knew that property was set aside for commercial use and they bought the property in Greenwood Plantation and built fine homes. By the way, the homes were paid for by the efforts of their parents or their wives. I remember people saying Mattiace was like a tick on a dog---that's the pot calling the kettle black. Complaining about all this is like buying a house near a train track and complaining about the noise. WOW !!! WHAT A BUNCH TITTIE BABIES.

Just because nearby homeowners should possess a foreknowledge that HC was for commercial use doesn't mean proposed any use of that site should be automatically given the green light. McGee, Hart, et al are going to be deposed and it will be ugly.

Everybody living near the reservoir knows the property of PRVWSD is subject to being developed some time too. But, who knew, after decades of sitting idle, that they would suddenly decide to drop another thousand rooftops at the eastern city limits of Madison? And just because we all knew the Reservoir Authority owned the land, is it being suggested that we deserve what we get? That's crap, even coming from somebody who is 'way over 70'. Sometimes it takes a long while to get stupid.

9:57, the problem was they assumed that whatever went in that space would conform to the zoning as written, not as revised on a whim.

Interesting to see Mr. Hart suggesting that an alderman who is a church member can intercede to subvert the alcohol sales rules of the state.

We've come a long way, Baby!

Amen, 9:57.
12:55, not on a whim. Small towns have to adjust as they grow and are approached by businesses.

Zzzzzzz

This is "over 70" answering 12:53. Grow up and realize that life is tough and calling people stupid is not very smart---you must be a south Jackson boy. Development land is set aside for a certain use---all I'm saying is the commercial land was there whether it is used for offices or retail---those Greenwood Plantation "Tittie Babies" would have complained no matter what type commercial development went there. Don't piss this old man off---BIG BIG MISTAKE.

Since we've got an old guy on here continuing to talk about tittie (sic), I think it's germane to ask when we'll get more jackassery around this place. It would certainly, ahem, "lift" the mood.

On one hand the oldster says "calling people stupid is not very smart" then in almost the next breath he's slinging out "Tittie Babies" again.

It's nap time for the old fart.

Dear "old man",
We're on the same side of this issue, but on behalf of all of the rest of us who support the City and its progress, could you please take a deep breath and tone down the language a little bit? Flies with honey . . .
Much appreciated.

Nothing more entertaining than reading an anonymous post from somebody well over 70 making dire warnings not to piss him off. Or else. Is this what manhood has come to in the us?

Dear Ridgeland,

Instead of all this frettig about a Cotsco, think about all the development that COULD be taking place.

Try and ask yourselves, "What can't we build on Highland Colony Parkway???"

Yours truly,

Old Fannin Road

I like the comments about Costco attracting the "budget shoppers from Jackson."

What could possibly be the meaning behind this statement?

I'm a little surprised that everyone jumped on me about my comments---70+---I certainly have read worse comments and no one said anything. I may have hurt you girls' feelings but the truth is the truth. In 15 to 20 years it won't matter, Ridgeland will be just like Jackson. Just a fact to throw out---Jackson Mall to The Metro Center to Northpark on to the Renaissance---just look at the pattern. I holler "Calf Rope" (Quit)---won't be posting any more comments.

For the record, I enjoyed the exchange between the two 70+ year olds.

I especially enjoyed one calling the other "a South Jackson boy" as a matter of insult. Fascinating.

I need to know more about my local history and start dishing out old school insults like this. I could really outhip Fondren.

Looking for ammo,
26+

Titties, titties, titties.

In 15 to 20 years it won't matter, Ridgeland will be just like Jackson.

One major difference......Ridgeland cops (and Madison, too)...don't play. They don't let anything slide. And when you face a judge up there it isn't a Hinds County joke judge. Bonds are high and they send people to jail.

The black middle class moving to Madison isn't doing so because they are seeking dog shit public schools and a high crime neighborhood.
