One of the few areas in that part of Jackson with successful business still left. Simply because they felt safe on the other side of the interstate. The locals have realized that the area is in the City limits of Jackson, and they’re free to comitt crimes. Give it a few years and Jackson residents will run the few remaining businesses out, just like they always do.
It is just the perception of crime in the Mayor's dignity economy.
We just need more economic incubators. It takes time for the bonds and programs to be effective.
Only a racist would call this endemic. This is a matter of Social Justice and generational inequality.
Never forget the history. If you forget, you need to visit the museum to help you remember.

I own a business on Lakeland Drive. I opted not to renew the lease. Bye bye Jackson. I'm taking my tax dollars to Rankin County where there are real cops and judges.
@8:21 PM - thank you.
Multiple choice: It's time to move to Madison County, or make this business park a gated community with armed security.
Funny how people think they are fine just because they’re mail says Ridgeland or Madison. Why don’t you Mapquest this carjacking distance to your favorite local Renaissance establishment.
Mere geography is not what’s “funny,” 12:54. The joke is on Jackson residents and the fact that crime gets a blessing in Hinds County. A pinky toe an inch over a county line makes a big difference.
My father told me when he moved to the Queens in the 80’s, that it was a model neighborhood. He then went on to say that with each passing decade good families were moving away, and being replaced by those indifferent to crime outside of their immediate family.
I see it differently. The downfall of Madison and Rankin Counties will be those families that left Jackson AND still associate with the criminal element. The next time a neighbor is hosting a birthday party or holiday event, pay attention to the guests. Criminals aren’t randomly finding their way into subdivisions.
If you want to leave Jackson either fully commit or stay put.
