That’s too bad.

The location will be an awesome law office though

JAXPAT said...

Is this code for "we're losing our shirt on these stores" or is it really family logistics? I can't imagine that the rent at either location is nominal.

Hate to see it go. They were fun family places.

this is what happens when a business that should be run out of an ice cream truck pays posh rent instead.

What did you think would happen to a gourmet popsicle shop in a town full of people that bitch about $5 rotisserie chickens, whole foods, and fresh markets. Jackson metro has a bunch of cheapskates who refuse to support nice, local niche food establishments.

In a real city they would be doing well and have a cart at the zoo during the summer.

KF, some (many) of your followers have deeply rooted anger issues and seem to sit and await an opportunity to tear someone else down. Sad.

literally never knew where it was. And looked.

@3:54- It’s not really anger issues, but a realization that a truly viable business, in a thriving, supportive city, would at the very least be sold if they closed shop due to family reasons. “Family reasons” tends to be code for financial issues. Kind of like “health issues” for criminals. (Yep, that’s for you, David.)

@3:49- Truth!!

Sad to see it go, though. Good popsicles!!

I can't believe they made it four and a half years. Bravo to them. They sold frozen sugary water on a stick and were able to pay that exorbitant rent. The Belhaven improvement plan could not come soon enough, unfortunately. They would've been saved.

Should have relocated to Madison where plenty of young families with disposable income could have purchased their products regularly.

As if any of you experts out there knew what they were paying in rent.
Here's a fun game for you experts: prove your ignorance and start posting what you think the State Street location paid in rent.

@4:06 You've never had one of their popsicles, have you?

And some, who can't pour piss out of a Memory-Foam Skechers actually believe they're sidewalk psychologists.

A limited, too narrow concept from the outset.

Very well said @4:29

I hate to see them go, but relocation to Madison or Rankin would have been a better business plan.
No one can argue there is much more disposable income in those areas than in "The Fondren".

$1800 a month for rent
$8000 a month for water

Feathered Cow on Spillway closed as well, they seemed to always be busy.

William Winter said...

Damn this site has the most negative, anonymous, shitty, judgmental, snarky, small minded, "just plain hateful" and "I obviously hate my life so I will criticize anything that moves" people ever in the history of the world.

Theca Jones of the Roguish Gent Podcast said...

Wow. Some of y'all really need help. Stop self medicating and go talk to a professional.

Hate to see the place go. I always enjoyed a nice popsicle on a summer day.

I'm not surprised Feathered Cow closed, their food was NOT worth the 45 minute wait.

I ain't Karl Marx said...

Laughing so hard !

Nope.

Just some basic facts for 7:47 & 6:56:
We don't hate anyone.
Even those trapped in Jackson.

Granted, ya'll are sure more "creative".
Whatever that means.

But your circle has no grasp of the elementary principles of economics.

Go paint some murals on an abandoned warehouse somewhere off Mill Street,
and then have a "beer fest" in which ten people show up.

But don't worry about the rest of us creating wealth and jobs for those that understand the value of capitalism in the surrounding counties.

Feathered Cow was horrible. I went once and the hamburger patty was obviously cooked previously and then reheated- probably leftovers from the previous night.

Anonymous said...

@6:08 It's not in Fondren. It's in Belhaven right across the street from a college whose students have too much disposable income from their parents.

Kingfish said...

Feathered Cow was pretty good when it was in Jackson.

Anonymous said...

6:08 and 4:20, right, because not every "city" can have a Chili's, Burger King, Dominoes and a Dollar Tree surrounding their Walmart at the Interstate exit, all signs of magnificent affluence and disposable income. Just waiting on Disney to make its announcement that Disney is opening a park in Madison.

6:22 wins the best comment award.

Theca Jones of the Roguish Gent Podcast said...

Well I Ain't Karl Marx, you submit your comments under a alias, so I can't determine if you are BSing or not. I'm gonna go with BS. Plenty of people understand economics, sorry the office building your dad built doesn't have any tenants. Or either the dirt business you started isn't doing so hot. Maybe your law practice isn't going the way you would like? State contract got you down? I'm sure it's one of those professions since I have to go off a comment you would make while you're drinking Old Fashions' at Local 463 with your buddies while you look at F-150's on your phone.

Anonymous said...

I agree with 6:43 AM that 6:22 is the best comment.

No business that relies on water. Be it a microbrewery or artisan popsicle bistro, can survive with Jackson's incompetent water and public works.

Komrade Karl Marx said...

...artisan popsicle bistro

Three words that optimize late stage capitalism

Apt characterization of Sadison County lifestyle, plus not a coward about his identity like the rest of us.

You're just too damned easy, but I will resist the temptation to follow up on your claim.

Well, I AM a psychologist, and here's what your post reveals: You often feel left out of activities and conversations. Naturally you're resentful. You're much like the character actor on The Andy Griffith Show who would throw rocks through the windows of others when he felt unappreciated or unwelcomed. I think his name was Ernest T.

Actually Ernest was a sweet guy who meant no harm. And he was a tad mentally challenged. I can't say for sure, but I believe you might be as well. I'd need more interaction with you to make a final determination.

You seem to gloat in the assumption that you have the ability to diagnose the traits of others, yet you have no training in that field. The 'anger issues' which you think you see, are not nearly so clinically dangerous as what I believe to be your need to judge others and cast aspersions, as it were. Those traits are rooted in paranoia and rejection, both of which place you in danger, if not treated.

My suggestion for you is this: Rather than attacking the Blog's participants (throwing rocks through their windows), I want you to view them in a circle, all having a chance to speak, all going by either a first name or none at all, but each valuing the opinion and feelings of the others, much like one might find at an AA meeting. And I want you to not judge the others in the group, but wait your turn and open up, while embracing the value of others.

Our next interaction will not be free.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
