Classy!


The crew at Zea's held a press conference and tour for the media Wednesday at its new location in Renaissance. Apparently one reporter loved the sample food so much he kept chowing down during the interviews in front of no less than three cameras.






Said reporter is from the Mississippi Business Journal.  You don't have to watch the entire video.  Fast-forwarding will suffice.

He must be a liberal. They are addicted to "free stuff."

They served food at the bar and he ate it. Not sure why you’re triggered?

Why does it take so long to get a certificate of occupancy?

Does the City of Ridgeland impose too many regulations?

Gotta make a payoff?

In my opinion, it was unprofessional and rude.

This post makes you look petty. Maybe just take it down?

Ahhh, the building has to be completed for a CO. It was rather obvious that construction is ongoing. Dept. of Health was approve until all is finished and inspected. There are no more (or less) regulations in Ridgeland than any other city in MS. Your payoff comment is totally out of order and uncalled for.

Speaking of Ridgeland there's been a coming soon sign up for months for a new Shipleys donuts on Lake Harbour Drive. Is Ridgeland holding them up.

The City of Ridgeland extorts money from those seeking Certificates of Occupancy by using a clever trick.

When you request an inspection, they come out and ALWAYS turn you down for some horse shit reason so you have to go pay a reinspect fee. On the next trip you may pass, you may not. Just depends on how bad of a mood Chris Ramsey (runs the dept. of community development) is in that day.

He is the biggest asshole in the metro and lives in some state of anger perpetually.

Perhaps you need to be more in the loop. Keep up with current events!

White liberal privilege. Those Hillary/Obama/Hood voters are addicted to free stuff.

7:27 - Sounds to me like 7:07 is well informed and perhaps personally experienced enough to make that post. Current events?

"Almost as classy as a certain blogger allowing racist comments. "

God forbid we respect Freedom of Speech - you know, one of those archaic comments specifically named in the US Constitution as a founding principle of this country.

Most grownups realize, as was spoken long ago, the proper response to free speech is - more free speech! (I think that was Oliver Wendell Holmes, but I'm not looking it up this am).

And, last I heard, there was no law preventing you from hauling your whiny ass out of this blog if you don't like the commentary (for the record - I don't like racist comments either). But I dislike people trying to prevent me from speaking my mind on any topic even more.

6:37 - Oh my, there's that word again - Racist. Some people get up every day with a chip on their shoulder.

Am I The Racist Or Are You? said...

Racism is too often in the mind of the self-appointed-victim who sees it at every turn. Like a dime on the sidewalk, he looks for it and as in a cowboy-movie-mirage, he even see's it where none exists.

Pointing out poor management of Jackson is no more racist than pointing out imaginary cookie-cutter-lily-white-neighborhoods in Madison. Perception and fact often run parallel, but not always.

And no, I don't expect 6:37 to understand this post, but, since I don't know his race, this post should not be considered racist.

I'm triggered because he slopped himself like a hog. And because he was invited as a member of the media who held a fork and knife in hand but no pen or pad.

7:27 here. I have dealt with all of the building inspectors in the metro area for almost forty years. Have I had some inspections fail? Sure I have, but they have always been legitimate issues. They all must abide by building codes, many of which are specific to their municipality. Not once have I had one ask for anything out of the ordinary. Some of the young "contractors" have no clue as to the actual building process. They get a business degree, get in cozy with some loan officer, hire a bunch of subcontractors and call themselves builders. Most of them can't swing a hammer correctly but they such can hit the heck out of a golf ball.

Current Event: Chris Ramsey has retired after 30 years. Tough on code...yes. Fair guy...you bet! He was probably the best educated on IBC standards of any inspector in Mississippi...possible the Southeast.

So, if I understand the expert at 11:56, some 'young contractors' can't swing a hammer, but they hire other contractors who can and those who know the process hold up the process? Wouldn't the Contractor Licensing process identify contractor applicants who can't swing a hammer but can swing a golf club? And if a contractor has the ability to stay on the golf course, isn't he actually a developer?

1:40, you need to have this explained since it hurt your feelings. There are those who can and those who can’t. 7:07 spoke the absolute truth. I’ve been a sub for years (learned from the ground up and no college) and I have experienced everything you can imagine from narcissistic assholes such as the Frazier boys to the new culture club in Hattiesburg. Just because you can get a loan, rent an office space, hire a “so called superintendent “ who can’t even shoot elevations (that’s an important skill just in case you are wondering). We need more who can ACTUALLY implement the required use of practical knowledge to direct subs and give the subs substantial information when needed SINCE most architectural firms are not completing plans. This hasn’t become a trend with not only Architects but with some (I speak of some but not all) Structural Engineers. This leaves voids which have to be filled with plain knowledge of your trade. Don’t blame the inspector at Ridgeland. He may have a thorn in his ass because the controlling contractor ( the GC)!has tried to pull some crap off prior to final inspection.

In a nutshell. All contractors need to spend years in the field under an older and knowledgeable hard ass mentor and that will in turn make him a better fellow at swinging a hammer and running his business successfully instead of swinging a golf club. Keep the bankers out of your business and run it like your supposed to and it will work. That’s advice that was given to me by an old successful commercial general contractor who had a very good saying. “ If a man does not share his knowledge of his trade, profession or skill and pass it down to the next generation, them he is of no use to anyone except himself and his lenders. And with that, I have based my business. It works for me, but it may not for others. Just do the damn work right.

If they didn't care, what's the issue. I'd be chowing down as well. Old Independent white male.

I laugh my ass off every time I hear some boomer that can't figure out how to use Quicken or his iPhone criticize how someone swings a hammer. Listen up boomer, I can finish a frame out with my nail gun faster than you can finish your 2019 taxes.

I feel the same way when I hear a baby boomer say "Millenials" since they are people born between 1981 to 2000. Someone born in 1981 has nothing in common with someone they could've fathered in 2000. Baby Boomer at least refers to an actual generation. Most Boomers were too stupid to figure to figure out Microsoft Windows after nearly 40 years now. They take the crown of stupidity.

Boomer, MFer. said...

I laugh everytime I heard some millenial brag about how fast he is with his nail gun. These are the same people who eat Tide pods, have safe spaces, and type from their mom's basement.

Millenials aren't the ones eating Tide pods. Those kids were all born in the 21st century. Please do us all a favor and stop being so embarrassingly stupid, boomers.

Pew Research: The generations defined

Ophelia said...

Well, now, I am truly perplexed. Just when I thought this site could get no weirder, here come generations/age groups bashing each other as if they were warring tribes. In a way, this is a relief, as it leaves the boring, tiresome, f**king RACE issue aside, but, really? Have we sunk this low?

And it’s “millenNials,” two ns, for the record.

I don't see any other "press" in the video.Is what this guy's doing any different than what the other reporters were doing?

Kingfish said...

Tyler Cleveland of MCJ and Dave Kenney were standing right next to me. Their cameras were rolling and they were doing their jobs. Not that I owe you any explanation because I don't.

Eat 'Em If You Got 'Em said...

I once attended a seminar where one 'participant' stood at the back of the room devouring most of what was on the back table for upcoming break time. He no doubt farted cookies and sandwiches for a week. Watching this video, I'm reminded of that seminar.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
