Jackson Jambalaya

Negative. Not worth my car getting broken into.

I skipped lunch and went to Downrange Sporting Goods. They are going out of business TODAY and have buy 2 get one free on ammo. I loaded up!

@12:08 - "Negative." That's exactly what you are.
I frequent 3 McDade's in Jackson, depending on proximity to home or work, and have never had a problem.
Thanks for the suggestion, KF.

Wonderful spot to grab lunch. And my car has never been into while I was eating there. Believe it or not there are some good things about Jackson.

McDade's on Northside is 100% safe.

Just out of curiosity, KF, which McDade's? I'm sure they all have catfish on Fridays, but the delis are different, mostly due to different cooks. I love Belhaven, Fondren, and Maywood, but frequent the latter most often given its proximity to home.

It's a hell of a stretch to call anyplace in Jackson 100% safe but yeah I've never been robbed or anything like that at that location. Might have to ignore the occasional panhandler.

Woodland Hills Shopping Center McDade's has the best deli, by far.

Why hasn't McDade's expanded to Madison? Are they waiting on this whole new influx of crime thing to pan out first?

The Big Apple Inn's Pig Ear Sandwich is the best lunch deal in town!

@12:08 is being realistic. Ill only go with a pistol in my pocket.

My friend, a medical doctor with MEA, had his wife's car stolen from the Mcdade's lot across from Saltine's in Fondren 3 months ago. She had used the key-fob to lock the doors, went into Saltines to meet a group of ladies for lunch and, according to police, the thief had been close by and captured the code with one of those 'reader devices'. How's that for never having problems at Jackson McDades?

Negative? Nope.

Considering the fact that there are multiple signs in that parking lot indicating that it is for that shopping center alone, are you sure that your "friends" wife's car wasn't towed?
I guess her sense of entitlement allows her to park just wherever the Hell she wants to, right?

Reader device to steal a car?? What was their lightsaber in the shop? Were those the droids he was looking for? I'm surprised that anyone in Jackson has that technology. Honestly, that has nothing to do with McDade's. Anywhere you have nice cars, you will have smart thieves. Goes with the territory of not living in a place like Karl Oliver's district.

4:06 - Without a doubt, that is not at all what happened to your friend's wife's car. Please use critical thinking and don't just believe dumb shit people say.

I have avoided Madison since the last murder that occurred there. The crime in Madison is on the rise. Poor Kingston.

The theft of a car at or near Saltines has EVERYTHING to do with McDades. The thieving doods know perfectly well its a place to hang out and not be suspicious and if anybody spots a PO PO, just go in the store and look around and maybe pick up some viennas and then head back out to the parking lot area where you can steal shit.

Leave it to the liberal jerk at 4:51 to suggest it was her fault for parking in the McDade's lot.

Literally all he said was the fried catfish and strawberry cobbler were good today and "I hate Jackson" jackassery starts.

Y'all will argue about anything.

After all these years I just figured out that all of these posters on here are just a bunch of Jackson and Madison hot middle aged women that post on the internet all day while their husbands work. Who else gets into a pissing match about McDade's cobbler ?

@4:51 My wife had lunch in an eatery near there and was parked in their lot. Where do you get your jerk-off remark about my wife having a "sense of entitlement"? You are an asshole.

When she came out from having lunch, her Honda Accord was gone (sorry @4:51, I know a Mercedes would fit your stereotype better). The cop said that there must have been a professional thief with a scanner that could have read the code when she hit the lock button and used it to get in her car without setting off the alarm.

It turns out that some idiots working for a repossession company (All Star Recovery) were out scanning tags looking for cars to repossess. It just so happens that there was a car in Georgia that needed to be repo'd with the same tag # that was in their database. So Darrell and his other brother Darrell load up her car without bothering to notice that it is the wrong year model, wrong VIN#, and the wrong state tag, etc. It took them 3 weeks to discover they took the wrong car.

So my friends, as Paul Harvey would say, "that is the rest of the story".

I growed up in Jackson in the sixties and seventies when it was a great city.Lot's of shopping places, movie theaters and places to eat. Westland Plaza, Jackson Square, and many other places to shop and eat. I loved me some Woolworths and their good burgers. Sad days these are. How many y'all growed up in Jackson and remember the good times.

Jesus Humphrey Christ! All this for the man to tell you where to get a good lunch! GEDDA LIFE! If crime bothers you.. GEDDA ENHANCED CCW AND A HIGH CAP PISTOL!
And he's right. The catfish rocks! Got to try the strawberry cobbler next time!

So, Capt. William,
Your self-entitled, I'll-park-here-even-though-their-sign-says-it's-for-their-shops-only, wife parks there, goes across the street to a restaurant that has it's own parking lot, car gets towed (by a repo company that was looking in Ms for Georgia cars), I point that out, and I'm the asshole. hahahahahaha

Just something about carrying a gun to lunch at a grocery store out of fear. Can't put my finger on it. Just something. I couldn't enjoy my cobbler for trying to remember whether or not I had chambered a round. Just something. Hmmm.

Do a little research on the number of vehicles that have either been stolen or broken into within fifty yards of the front door of Fondren McDades.

"Why hasn't McDade's expanded to Madison?"

Might be because Mary has sold Madison to Kroger. And the bumper stickers say it ain't for sale.

12:36
How about a little research on how many cars have been broken into or stolen in Duling's parking lot. Or, maybe, how many women have been dragged thru the parking lot by their purse strap in the Duling parking lot vs. Woodland Hills parking lot.
Please produce a bar graph showing break-ins, stealings, draggings for each, and throw in armed robberies while you're at it.
Oh, and I guess you'll have to delineate between break-ins and stealings in the Woodland Hills Shopping Center parking lot that were done while someone was parked there to go to a show at Duling. Can't blame that on McDade's, now can we.

Can you use a scanner to grab a keyfob transmission? Yes, but it's highly hit or miss, not NEAR as easy as they show in the movies. Are the brothers in podunk Jackson MS using them to steal cars? Not a friggin' chance!
Puh-leaze.

Right, 5:37. And there's no gang activity in Jackson. No major drug running either. No heads being lopped off by the cartel. No children killed as a result of gang conflicts. No potholes that will swallow a car. No gangstas at city hall. No clowns on city council. No weapons that surpass the firepower of the PoPo, no existence of MS 13.....And your next claim is?

8:19, well put.

To hear one of you tell it (posting two or three times), if you park in an area designated for certain others, and your car is stolen or broken into, you had it coming.

What a stooge.
