Jackson Jambalaya

That’s too bad.

The location will be an awesome law office though

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?

"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."

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.

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

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".

@5:02 PM
$1800 a month for rent
$8000 a month for water

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Feathered Cow was pretty good when it was in Jackson.

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.

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.

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.

...artisan popsicle bistro

Three words that optimize late stage capitalism

Best comment: Theca Jones
Apt characterization of Sadison County lifestyle, plus not a coward about his identity like the rest of us.

@4:07
You can't nominate yourself, Theca

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.
