Hell hath no fury like a woman what wants her money on time
Here come the insecure Jackson commenters.. 1, 2, 3...
Isn’t that right across the street from the CCJ/JCC, home of Lamar Adams?
The Trails used to be a fun place to live back in the early '90's. They used to have a volleyball net across the pool. We played many games of volleyball and tons of beer. Strange thing though. All that beer was consumed and nobody ever got out of the pool to go pee. Hmmmm
Jackson is lost!
I remember when those apartments were nice.
This is why we left Jackson for Madison county. Best decision we ever made
How much you wanna bet they knew each other?
Well look out Madison County, Soon Jackson will be so run down that there will be no choice left but to head for the glorified strip malls of Hwy 51 / 463.
I use to pee in the pool there also.
Just listed: Fabulous family home in sought-after Northpointe! Convenient to everything. Three bedrooms and two baths. Light and bright with huge master. New carpet in bedrooms and tile in bathrooms. Motivated seller - make offer!
2:24 Because domestic violence doesn't occur Madison County???
You left Jackson because of domestic stabbing incidents? Weird.
What happens south of E. County Line Road, stays south of E. County Line Road.
Here come the contagion theorists with their worn out fallacies. They'll be in denial about the Jacktown cesspool until their dying day.
The Trails was fun, in the early 90s, when I was n my early twenties. Good times. Sad that the area has declined.
The patient is terminal.
There is no cure.
End of life care is your only option.
RIP Jackson.
On the condition of anonymity, a police department spokesman said 'it is believed that an altercation led to this fatality'.
@ 5:19pm Did you pee in the pool at the Trails too?
Mapquest this to Bridgeater.
RIP Jackson....that's funny. This might as well be Ridgeland.
This is what happens when you build apartments. First, punks pee in the pool. A generation later, people get stabt.
Wait, how old are all of those apartments in Ridgeland?
At least the stabbin apartments don’t have fake stucco. Not many houses in Madison can say the same.
Raze north point and put the zoo there.
For the repetitive stucco-dunce: There is no such thing as 'fake' stucco. Stucco is stucco. There is no substitute. Please educate yourself while scrubbing the mildew off your asbestos shingles. Also, move, when you get a chance and can sell that dump.
If the apartments had been certified, with a zoo, without potholes, and receive their water bills, this would not have happened.
I too lived at the Trails when I first moved to Jackson around 1986. Never went in the pool though. Was a nice place back then.
Bunch of old farts remembering the good ole days when they pee in the Northpointe swimming pool. Next someone gonna say do you remember the Flood of 79.
Unfortunately the state takeover of Jackson will not occur until after Lumumba inherits Bennies seat. That’s why Phil didn’t allow the stark take control of JPS: the dem party couldn’t afford to have that blemish on Lumumbas resume when they trot him out as the second coming of Obama.
If I ever need a boost of confidence to stay in Jackson, all I have to do is come to JJ and read the comments from those who live in Madison. The thought of having to live next to one of you narcissistic, lonely, bitter, old, fat, white, men, is just too much. Plus, my house would look exactly like your house. In all seriousness, I really do feel sorry for how blackened your souls are. You get joy from seeing pain in others. You feed off of it and that's sad.
It is still unknown what took place inside the apartment unit prior to Gilmer’s death.
I heard that Mr. Gilmer came home and told his girl that he had just seen a house covered in "fake stucco".
Plus, my house would look exactly like your house.
Since you can't afford to buy into one of Madison's neighborhoods of custom houses then you are probably correct.
9:24, are you saying that he was stuccoed to death?
9:37 That's where you are 100% incorrect. I CAN afford a custom house in Madison. A lot of people in NE Jackson can afford custom homes in Madison. I can assure you that's not the reason why I stay in Jackson and most in my NE Jackson neighborhood stay. That's cute that you think that. It just proves your elitist persona is a truthful one.
All right, knock off all the Jackson v. Madison crap. Do you people ever give it a rest?
Pelahatchie is the best city in Mississippi. Hey we don't have Pineapples or Potholes like other place I'm not gonnna name.
Sick of the Madison vs. Jackson crap. Give it a rest.. let's work together and help male Mississippi a better place. Take pride in where you live. Too much of the money in Mississippi is in NE Jackson and Madison compared to rest of the state. Work together.
I grew up in Northpointe in the '90's. Loved living there. There are still a lot of nice houses and great families there. It's such a shame they can't get their act together and get the neighborhood gated (Trails would have been ouside the gates, if you know the layout).
Enough is enough. We need stricter knife laws!!! People don't kill people.....KNIVES Do.
When knives are outlawed, only outlaws will have knives.
Less money in NEJax with each passing week.
It was "horseplay" that led to this young man being stobbed. That's some rough horseplay.
What a complete embarrassment of a state and city. You people are pitiful. And to think that I was considering moving my business there. No wonder you are the laughing stock of the country. Can’t even solve your own problems without petty finger pointing. You’re like first class and steerage passengers arguing on the deck of the titanic.
