Jackson Jambalaya

What’s it going to do? Depress property values by $10,50?

The war is between cultures. Litter, prevalent titty bars, shootouts, loud talking, cars in yards, shitty schools and the like is normal to some. Abnormal to others. With the deck stacked 85/15, 85 wins.

RIP the English language.

The city is going to allow this?

Dope boys doing dope boy things. Ain't that right Chokwe ?

Where in post does it say anything about a black owned business. It only says the owner of Aces Strip Club. Nothing racist here just a concerned citizen not wanting a strip club on Capital St.

It sounds like the business owners have already decided why they will fail: racism. If it's that bad, they should just give up and move to Haiti where things are so much better. Then if they fail they won't have an excuse.

Seeing Ted Orkin associated with this gave me a chuckle. His property management company "manages" our HOA in Flowood. Orkin is a character for sure.

I guess that's one way to speed up the collapse of Downtown. Let me let you in on a little hint. In 2018 there was talk of Trustmark relocating out of Downtown jackson. The only reason they didn't is because the price of rennovation was an order of magnitude cheaper. Talking 100s of millions to move vs 10s of millions to rennovate.

Dang, just when Capital Street was making such a huge comeback.

It's the lack of subject verb agreement, incomplete sentences, run on sentences, misspelled words and lack of punctuation for me. What JPS school did these folks get a high school diploma from?

Rejebian is not racist AT ALL if you know him.

Do not know any of the parties involved, but the post by Rejebian never mentioned the race, color or nationality of the person or people opening the new business. His concern appears to be primarily about the type of business that is opening in downtown Jackson.

This should help bring in more tourists, or not.

That part of downtown already hosts raucous street parties on weekend nights which, apparently, JPD does nothing about.

"He can't help himself but make personal attacks and misleading statements to distort the real differences on the issues." -- Douglas Hattaway

If true, this just confirms for me that Ted Orkin is the piece of garbage I always knew that he was.

Hilarious that he has made his little amount of money managing neighborhood properties in Madison County enforcing HOA covenants.

You can't buy values

Smells like ass in here!

Just saw both Facebook threads. Looks like he painted the daiquiri bar to white instead of the pink just overnight and Rejebian gave him credit. Small steps.

sex sells

My neighbor is a stripper and a single mom and she is a really nice young lady. She will never be a STEM major but she is sweet and drop gorgeous and doing the best she can with what God gave her.

I would love to see her perform but I think our neighborly relationship adds a sense of normalcy to her life. Maybe if she moves I will go see her and maybe get a lap dance.

Kin to Archie?

9:46 What makes a street party "raucous"? Just askin'

Why Do Some People Capitalize Every Word In A Sentence? Do They Think It Makes Them Seem Educated?

Who wants to start a pool on how many are shot night one ? Once the underaged 4 wheeler gang gets a sniff it's over.

Jackson is already a cesspool. Any business isn't going to make it any worse than it already is. Is that tranny street walker still selling herself on State Street?

@946 when dodge chargers and old crown vics do doughnuts in the street and drag race. Probably the smell of weed black and milds. Just saying.

Strip bars create their own demise, unless they fund the right campaigns? Why do these places attract drug dealers?

But the question still remains can the moribund downtown Jackson beggars also be 'only worthy businesses' allowed here choosers?

If NE Jackson (where at least a breakeven tax base still survives versus the downtown red ink boondoggle) is forced to swallow now six market value killing Oxford drug addiction houses I don't really give a shit about Rejebian's elitist qualms.

Suck it up Mike. Reap what you've sown.

10:27 - find the videos on FB.

9:19- getting to know a person is not part of the playbook.
You simply accuse them of racism and therefore they are cancelled.

Details and facts are not important to the narrative.

Let them do whatever they want. Let Jackson exemplify their culture in however they see fit. If we let them have their own little utopia in Jackson maybe they’ll stay there stop trying to create it in Madison and Rankin counties.

Well now some of the oldest white people on earth who comprise mayflower customers can actually meet some
Black people.

Should be entertaining

race to the bottom - I think the location would be a safety issue for the girls who work there.

Ok 10:44, I'll bite, why do you do that?

"The city is going to allow this?" You seriously expect a negative answer to that? Money has already passed hands. Do love what they did with the front colors though.

@12:02
I would rather just go to the zoo.
nvm Jackson’s “leaders” fucked that up too

Haha, they fell back on the worn out excuse of “racism”. Ace’s wouldn’t let my co-workers in because they were white, I guess they can scream racism now too.

Will it survive? How long before it goes tits up?

I thought this was a serioUs email until I read that it would disrupt the “character of Jackson”. Thanks for a little comic relief. Cities with unridable road, undrinkable water, unpredictable trash pick up, have a long way to go to be considered a city with “character.”

They could put it on County Line in the old Fortune/Gradys!

whether someone knows Rejebian or not is irrelevant. there was nothing in his post that alludes to racism. however, he did say "thumbed his nose." maybe that's a new secret coded dog whistle those white supremacists are saying nowadays. i'm not sure, i'll have to check with MSNBC.

to me, it seems he's concerned about what kind of business he thinks is going in there, and what affect it will have on the surrounding area. that is something that everyone should think about when businesses open up.

with that being said, he does seem to be jumping to conclusions about what kind of business it is. if it's a strip club, then i wouldn't want it that close to where i lived, worked, or ate, either. if it's a nightclub, then i'm not sure how it would hurt downtown jackson, unless it turns into another M-Bar. downtown jackson needs all the business investment it can get and a business, with a primarily nighttime clientele, could help.

now, if Jacktown Bud and Qb Benz would take off their racists glasses, they wouldn't see racism everywhere they look. in case you didn't know, a white guy can disagree with and not like something a black guy does, based solely on what is being done, and race have absolutely nothing to do with it. but racists gonna racist.

This dude will be lucky if he doesnt catch a bullet. Who would live DOWNTOWN? Hello.....I mean HELLO....You live in the middle of a war zone infested with animals of all kinds.

12:02 PM
Wew. That's a spicy take.

8:57 AM
Oh and I didn't think I was going to mention this but they stopped rennovations on certain floors and talking about moving portions to Madison county.

Adult entertainment (aka strip clubs) are typically relegated to specially zoned areas and NEVER in a Central Business District.

From experience when I was 19: a stripper in my college French class went to lunch with me occasionally and enjoyed being treated as a normal woman. BTW, she was making As in classes.

I suggest you get your girl a flowering potted plant, offer to help with yard work, then take her to dinner and entirely skip stripper activities because she's stripping for money, not for fun.

Do you want her to think of you as a "John" or a respectable man?

since it couldn’t go on farish st…

under jackson zoning laws a sexually oriented business , such as a strip club , must be located in aan area zoned ''light industrial''.
i don't know how that area of capita street is zoned but that's what controls.
BTW........the facebook poster must be a real whimp.

The only legally licensed strip in Jackson is Babe's. None of the others have a true "Adult Entertainment" license. They violate the law daily and JPD and MS ABC do absolutely nothing about it. Why does ABC, a state agency, ignore these obvious violations of the law? Selective enforcement? Or another reason...

Dear Mr. Qb Benz,

I assume Qb is a family name, but anyway , I digress, the "Bright Future & a Strong Foundation" you speak of for your children would be rooted and begin in a mastery of the English language. Unless living on titties and beer is your idea of success. Do you even proof read this shit before you hit send? Good grief, we have passed the tipping point folks, we are screwed!

Rejebian is liberal political royalty. He runs in the major, powerful, National democrat circles. He didn’t invent it, but he sure has perfected the modern political application of “white guilt” to advance liberal candidates and issues.
Him being labeled a racist by minorities on the stage of a decrepit, decaying southern inner city with black leadership is what some would say is “be careful what you wish for, it might come back around and bite you in the ass”!!!!
He helped make this bed - hope that he enjoys sleeping in it.

Dude seems to be denying that it is a strip club. Is it or isn't it?

Which is more dangerous, hanging at a joint with regular shoot outs or eating on the corner at a place that hasn't been cleaned since Dillinger got food poisoning there? Of course, they both are on Roach Street, too.

549 for the win - thank you for putting this in THE proper perspective.
Perhaps this will liven up Smith Park.

How does this pass zoning. Yes, Jackson has zoning laws and they are very specific about where strip clubs can operate.

Is Ben Allen gonna pop up and compare this to a strip club in Little Rock? 😂

I wouldn't put much stock in "Teddy Boy" Orkin (that's what Maurice called him back in the day) Cypress Lake HOA fired him recently for some murky reason. The around 500 rooftops were told he was retiring and has put his "management company" up for sale.....Maybe the purveyors of smut on Capitol Street would be interested?

This is gonna really help keep prices up on all those really nice loft apt/condos downtown.

So the name of this stripe club is “Daiquiri Bar”? Seems like a weird name for a strip club. I’m guessing this is FAKE NEWS!

Now that is an interesting comment 6:51am.

Was there really smoke behind the decision to remove Orkin from Cypress Lake?

Was he really fired? Would be interested to know what happened.

So there will soon finally be some entertainment near the Farish Street Entertainment District??? Lol

Orkin property management has been sold to Cress Group Realty in Ridgeland. Orkin is staying on for one year.

Rejebian is the all-so-typical 'do as I say, not as I do' Donkeycrat.

NEXT, Right?

@7:45…does that mean that Cress Realty Group is responsible for the garbage dump across from the street from the Mayflower restaurant?
